Volcanos pair of launches were a blast (sorry for the bad pun). Not knowing that there were two launches, I was taken by suprise. I only rode once, but it was from the front seat. The first launch into the long banked turn was ok, but that reenergizing launch in the mountain was really fun: up you go at 155 feet into the worlds tallest inversion, whatever its called (rcdb says Roll Out). After that, the ride is all but over to me. The ride proceeds to have some high banked turns going into three heartline rolls, all of which were taken at relatively low speeds which produces some nice forces, saving this ride from a 7. The last diving turn back into the volcano was alrigt, not too thrilling, but still fun. This coaster was enjoyable, but I didnt feel like it was one to ride over and over. Though it is one of my favorite launches, a category I am not too fond of, I didnt even think it was the best ride in the Congo section, rather, I thought its newest neighbor Tomb Raider was. Volcano gets an 8 from me, but is good enough to be my favorite non-B&M Invert.
