On my recent trip to Florida, this was the coaster I was looking forward to riding most. Not because I thought it would be the best one on the trip, but because its not like anything Ive ridden before.
The first difference you notice is the huge trains, which probably help a lot on busy days. Climbing the lift hill youre almost lying down, which is unfortunate because its hard to see your surroundings. Once you get to the top you get a very impressive view, as you can see much of the surrounding city. Even so, I never really felt *that* high up.
The first drop is the highlight, it feels a lot like a free fall tower and has good air. The immelmann is huge, perhaps too big because the "whip" action I like on those elements isnt here; its more slow and graceful.
The second drop is much like the first, in a way its better because you have momentum going into it. The banked turns that follow are kind of gentle and boring.
Overall a unique expeierience, but not as satisfying or intense as the other big" coasters at the park.
