Wow, the one at Circus Circus is way better than this one. The launch on this one was much rougher and slower than on that one and there was no air at the top. Also, the drop had no thrill at all and was a bore and it just seemed tamed down.

I didnt find it as bad as some, but it is definately lacking. At least the structure looks like they are planning on keeping it for a few years. It truly is amazing that I had such a fun day here since so many of the rides were average at best. Maybe it was just because I got to spend the evening with Nicole.

Appearence needs repainted. Capacity high. Fun and rerideable. Ride duration short. Can be rough on neck on launch up so keep neck back as told by ride operators.

This ride hurt like hell. When they tell you to keep your head back, they MEAN IT. My neck got jerked around like nobodys business on the launch. I didnt even KNOW it launched, and there was no warning from the operators or anything. The drop is only about 100 feet tops [probably shorter] and there really is no time to have any feeling for anything. Just a terrible ride.

A very weak tower ride. I dislike them to begin with, but I especially hated this one. The ride wasnt big by any stretch of ones imagination, and therefore the launch was weak. The loading was slow and the ride took forever to prepare to launch, or so it seemed. My biggest advice comes on the launch: kepp your head back like they say. Then again, even if you do, it still whips your neck hard. I also got stuck with a crummy seat and got to see the wonderful... chemical plants? The drop half put me to sleep. I would say you should skip it unless its a real short wait, you wont be missing too much. If you sit in the aforementioned seats 9-12 you can see the big tower at Marineland, perhaps you should go there if you want a real big tower.

Not a great tower ride. Shoots you up holds you and lets you freefall down. If you can sit in seats 9,10,11,12. You can see across the river into Canada and see the Tower ride at Marineland.

This is the most dissapointing drop tower I have ever been on. You would think it would be the same as Scream! at SFNE but its nothing like it. First of all, you dont really get launched up. You get pulled up VERY fast. You kind of get whiplash from it too. Its very uncomfortable and nothing like the launch on other S&S towers. After a horrible first half I thought the drop would be good. That was even worse than the launch. It reminded me of the Parachute ride at SFGAdv. You dont fall very fast and overall, I think this ride is unusually bad. Maybe it was a case of anticipointment but IMO, I dont think I would ride this again.

Well, its not like anyones going to be reading these,lol, but lets see....this ride is like (Space shot) Power Tower at Cedar POint except its not as high (About 100-150 feet?) and it says that the Daredevil goes 80 mph vertically up, but I dont believe it. Maybe like 40 or 50 and it freefalls back down. I just want to say that when you shoot to the top and you stop for about 20 seconds, dont expect a great view like on the Power Tower. I just saw some hay, dirt and the highway. But all in all, this is a pretty fun ride thatll definetly be worth riding on over and over again
