This was my second ride of the day (after Gwazi). I was in the Sheikra area, getting splashed by the water strip thingy, when my dad decided to go on it before Kumba instead of after. The line was only about 45 minutes, and I got front row. It dipped, and went right into the lift. It was pretty comfortable. And slowly creeped to the drop (boring). It caught onto a weird-looking chain, and went down just a little. The drop looked small, but I knew it was 200 feet, so I didnt know what to expect. The wait was pretty long, then "click!" I popped right out of the seat and floated down the drop, and it went right up into the awesome immelman. It had a surprising amount of airtime. Right up into the mid-course brakes, I wanted more. The drop wasnt thrilling enough. The train slid forward to the second drop, which appeared to be sharper than the first. Smash, I floated again, and had a sharp landing. It slowly went into and out of the water thing, and went onto the brakes.
I took another ride later in the day because Montu was closed. I got second row, and I enjoyed it much more than the first time. It just felt windier, faster, and just more fun, although I didnt float as much on the immelman. Overall, it was a good ride, but it was too short, and the drops werent big enough for me. If the ride had more to it to make up for the drops, then I mightve rated it higher. I want to give it a 7.5/10, but I guess Ill round up.
