Well, Ill say this was the most dissapointing ride I had in Vegas. The reviews here gave it such high regards that I figured it had to be mroe than it looked, unfortunately it was less. The launch was ok, at best, not nearly as breathtaking as I wouldve hoped (Ill stick with the Intamin Impulse coasters for best LIM launch). And the ride itself is just rather basic ... turn, dip, loop, turn, spike, repeat backwards. You dont ascend the spike nearly high enough (not even enough to give the "illusion" that youre about to run out of track as SFKKs GREEZED LIGHTIN and CPs WICKED TWISTER do nicely). The worst part of this coaster is the train/restraints themselves. Havent we learned, lapbars on LIM coasters is the way to go? Couple good rams of my head/neck into the restraints and I was left more than a little dazed (and not in a fun way). This coaster, like most coasters in Vegas, gets hurt severely by the cost too ... $10 per ride or $15 for an all day pass is ALOT to ask for this ride, and it makes one expect quite a bit of value for their dollar. Value which SPEED just did not deliver.
