WHAT A RUSH! I love everything about this coaster. The queue theming is slick and sets the mood. The harness comes down from overhead but is only a lap bar. The first launch is quite intense, and it goes straight into a steep incline, so make sure to hold your head back or it may easily get whipped forward after the first launch. There is so much airtime and many crazy inversions that plain hold you upside down dangling from your lap bar. And when you think it can't get any more intense, it dives into a second launch that kicks it up another level into a massive ejector hill. The whole experience is smooth and comfortable as well. A+, bravo Intamin and Universal for this masterpiece.

Still holds up after almost 25 years! The queue around the load area is cool, watching trains launch into the dark tunnel, with a quick burst of screaming and limo tires screeching (SFX), then total silence as the train is suddenly gone. And that first launch going right into a corkscrew is pretty intense. Nice G-forces but not too many inversions.
I really dislike the overhead restraint though. I'm a pretty tall guy and there was not much room for my shoulders. Thankfully I was in my own row and I had room to slouch down and take up extra leg space. But because of that the ride is not totally comfortable for me.
Also, as you may expect with an older coaster, there's rattling throughout, but not as bad as some others in the area (looking at you, Rip Ride Rockit)
