Decent airtimes and lats throughout but once you get moving in reverse this thing cranks it up a notch. The ejector while going backwards is absolutely insane. Most of my coaster experiences have been in the two Virginia parks (King's Dominion and BG) and I have never experienced anything like that ejector during the backwards launch. Spike doesn't look crazy while you're standing in line but in the back seat it feels massive. Really the ONLY complaint I can muster for this ride (it's a nitpick really) is I wish you were going a liiiiittle bit faster over the tophat so you can get some real airtime on it. The launch into it is forceful but by the time you're getting over it you are not going near fast enough to pop out of the seat. The 95 degree drop following that slowdown on the otherhand is very nice. All in all great ride, probably tied for my favorite in the park.
