When I got in line for this for the first time I was thinking that I was in for a short wait. Boy, that the first misjudgement. It took a good 45 minutes to actually get to the ride, then loading was another story. It took about two minutes to load the train (and lemme tell you the bicycle seats are not comfortable on the male unit). Then there was the unbearable lift. The ride itself was very basic and painful with loads of headbanging to boot! The bunny hops were extremely painful as the restraints inflicted their torture upon me. The only screaming I did on this ride was at my brother who talked me into doing it. This ride lives up to its name, but thats not really a good thing in this case. Easily one of the worst rides ive ever been on.
I dont mean to sound negative, but I honestly have no good points for this ride. **Update!** I recently visited PKD with some friends and they have never ridden "Shockwave" before, so I gave it another try. I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was! I experienced no headbanging and the ride attendants even helped me on how to adjust my seat so I wouldnt experience any unit crushing! A very unexpected turn-around from what I had previously been through! An applaudable change!
