An EXCELLENT first drop. An EXCELLENT second hill and drop. An EXCELLENT airtime filled third hill. After these three EXCELLENT features, this ride becomes Ed Markey’s poster child for legislative action to regulate G forces. A first ride – like any first ride – is exciting. After a second and third, you realize that this ride does indeed produce serious G forces. I dare say, "seriously concerning G forces". Both my buddy and I saw stars during the last helix of this ride. This ride represents to me a waste of power and speed. It seems designed to show the rider how intense a ride can be rather than how fun a ride can be (a la S:ROS @ SFNE). This is one I wouldn’t ride twice in a row and the more times I rode it – the lower my opinion of it got. If not for those three "EXCELLENTS" of the first three elements (which each earned a point on their own), this ride would get a 4.
