A surprisingly brutal flat ride, but one heck of a good time all the same. This is my second magic carpet (the other being at Busch Gardens Williamsburg), and though I do remember that one being pretty violent, I was still caught off guard here. It was a continuous alternating between being punched in the stomach by the lap bar and being slammed in the back by the seat as this thing swooped round and round. The only thing it didnt do was steal my lunch money. But I had a blast--so much positive and negative g forces. I think I prefer this type of flat to the outward-facing, lateral-g producing rainbow/falling star rides that seem to be more common.
