Any ride that forces a 510" 180 pound man to be asked to cross his legs for maximum room while sitting in the car, automatically gets docked some points. This ride was running one train, the first time that I rode it, because they were referbishing the other train. Even with that said, these ride operators have stolen the "Slowest ride ops in the park" award from Rolling Thunder. Congratulations. Im sure they are proud. A 15 minutes wait turned into a 45 minute wait because they were so slow. I dont know if it is the rides fault or theirs. The trains are uncomfortable, small, and very ugly. Next, the ride is very short. It started off surprisingly well. It gained a lot of speed in the beginning and I enjoyed the turnaround around the water. However, with a couple of bad transitions and such a cramped ride, this deserves no longer than a 10 minute wait. When I say bad transitions I mean noticable parts in the ride where the builders of this ride should have been able to look at the ride and be like "Hmmmm, maybe that steel shouldnt be like that." Anyway, could be good for kids as a first coaster (they would also find it pretty easy to fit in the seats too) but nothing more than that. I would rather wait 2 hours for Nitro than waste my time with this. The new trains cant come soon enough.
