After taking 8 rides on this wonderful coaster and having time to reflect on it I believe it is time to write my review. The hype on this was immense, but for one of the few times in my life it surpassed what I was hoping for(unlike Phantom Menace). Sure the ride was difficult to reride, but it pushed the envelope so dramatically and without real pain, that the physical demands this ride cause are so worth it. APPEARANCE-10 What you can see from the ground is amazing. What you can see only as you ride is even better. The station is very cool(literally as it has many fans) and the tress around it are beautiful. I believe the ride will only look better as they finish cleaning up the grounds around it. The new area is also missing some finishing touches so that will also highlight the ride. CAPACITY-10 We were going three trains by the second night and the line was maybe 20 minutes. They check effectively and they have almost no wasted time. All you could ask for from a crew. RIDE QUALITY-10 Massive airtime, flat out speed, amazing turnaround, great elements, intensity seldom felt in this day and age. It has everything I want from a coaster and more. As others have said it does wear you out, but it is so worth it to be able to ride a ride that delivers exactly what it was designed too. FUN-10 I had a great time on every ride. Each time it got back to the station I was excited for my next ride. It is so intense it actually puts a little fear in you which is so rare for me in this day and age. I loved the ride and can hardly wait to go back. RERIDE-10 Just make sure you take a couple minutes to catch your breath. I could not marathon this coaster, but 15 rides a day could be done so that makes the reride a perfect 10. OVERALL-50 AVG-10 The only perfect score I have ever given. I am sure others can find flaw with this ride as it does have some areas that would not be in the liking for all enthusiasts. However, for me, this is the perfect ride. There is nothing I would change and I pray they can keep it running like this for years to come. BTW it is even better at night and I would probably rank night rides at 11.
