great theming, horrendous capacity, OK ride. Nice first drop, nice helix, but there was too much light and I could see all the turns/drops before they happened. Too much braking also.

This ride is terrible its like a bad Skull Mountain (SFGA) with at least a two hour wait. The ride is so slow loading that someone literially passed out waiting in line. This ride needs to be torn down. My thought coming of this ride was why did I waste so much (insert word) time on this.

The coaster itself is fantastic. An old jetstar in the dark. The ride is filled with suprise turns, drops, and tight helixes. Capacity is the limiting factor on this ride though. To really enjoy this ride, you need to be at the park when it opens and head straight for it. Each car only takes 2 people at a time and thus even a small line can take unbearably long.

If you can avoid a ridiculously long line for this ride, it can be rather enjoyable. However, if you are waiting more than 30 minuutes, youll be altogether pissed off by the time you exit the building...

Well I went on it back in 1997 when it was at Darien Lake, and im assuming its the same now as it was then. I liked it alot then. Its not really that exciting other than the fact that its in the dark, but its still a great ride. I remember then the line was horrible, and from the other posts, it sounds like it still is now.

What an amazing schwarzkopf masterpiece. This ride is fast and intense. I just wish they made it a little darker in the building and used special affects. I took points off because of the capacity. This ride goes way beyond a slow moving line. The wait is horrible.

The coaster seems intense for its size and very disorienting in the dark. However, not worth waiting in line for 1hr 20min (the longest wait of any park during the whole recent vacation). It was a relatively short line, but the horrible capacity of this ride made it crawl.

Waited an hour. So not worth it. The ride itself is ok with some nice drops and wide turns in the dark. Its a little disorienting actually. Capacity is the worst Ive ever seen though.

This is a Jeckyl and Hyde coaster. The theming is great..but the wait in line is horrible! If you ride it at night, its completely dark..during the day its full of light holes. Capacity is of course an issue..I wish they could get new cars that hold 4 each, and train them together to make 16 passenger trains..then run two of them...that way instead of an 8 per cycle capacity, wed have a 32 per cycle capacity...therefore making an hour wait only 15 minutes, which would then be worth the wait! : )
