This ride is awesome! No matter how many time you watch that train fly through the ride cycle,it still makes your blood run cold. By the time you pull yourself into the blue bucket seat, pull down the harness, and fastenj your seatbelt, your hands are so sweaty with fear that its hard to get a firm grip on the handles. Thumbs up, heads against the headrests. A ghostly voice mumbles "Prepare to launch" as if its no big deal, but to us in the train, we know we only have three more seconds to live. 3..2..1.. BAM! The train shoots out of the station, LIMs and passangers screaming alike. We rocket up into the twisted first tower and get a little twist but nothing major. We rocket back through the station getting another boost from the LIMs and launch up the vertical tower at an alarming rate. Soaring back down we head once more through the station. Were now flying at the coasters scorching speed of 70 m.p.h. This time we climb the first tower much higher than before offering the entire train at least 1 full spin. Back through the station and up the vertical tower. We reach the top of the tower enjoying the zero-gravity float and prepare to dive...but we dont. A powerful set of brakes holds the train and its passengers staring straight back at terra-firma. From the ground it looks bad, but from 185 ft. in the air, its utterly terrifying. It holds you there for a split second and then drops you back toward the ground, through the station and then only about halfway up the twisted first tower. You fall back into the station and hit the brakes. Exhilerating is the only word for it.
