I remeber apon entering the park thinking about where this ride was located. My question was emidietly answered whilst entering the park. The ride, bent at an odd 45 dagree angle, was hovering DIRECTLY OVER THE PARK ENTRACE. I mean literaly, there it was, flipping guests directy over the parks main entrace. I couldnt belive it. At first I was suprised at the rides lack of "Vertical Velocity", since it was at such a stange angle, but the rides placement is really what shook me. Overall, the ride was pretty good, but I was really looking forward to the whole "vertical twist" thing. Oh well, what can you do?

Im saying slightly abover average. It was fun, but not a huge intensity factor. Sit in the middle for the best ride. Youll hang upside down a few times. That was the best seat. I wish I could of rode it before the locals made them alter it. The launch also didnt do too much for me. But I wont deduct for that. Im trying really hard to not compare the 90 degree angle to De jas 90 degree angle. But its hard. De Jas is 90 angle is just so much more intense. I probably would have rated this higher, but Ive experienced way too many more intensified rides.

Horrible ride.... Should be torn down, boring... not really a big thrill for coaster fanatics.

Youve got to love the Intamin impulse coasters. The best launch (best couple of launches, really ) out there. If zero to 70 and straight up a vertical tower doesnt get you, then youre probably dead. The last time up the rear tower, you will be held at the top for a brief moment. Falling into your restraint is butt clenching terror on a whole new level. Great ride!

This is a great fast ride. Opening date was the best. When you reach the vertical tower the second time the brakes hold you there for about 3 seconds so your limbs fall straight toward the ground and you can get a great view of Roar. But dont get to used to it becuase then you go flying through the station to be slowed. It is great and the twist is wicked bordering on nasty. Be sure to get the front seat!

This ride is quite fun, though I am not a huge fan of Intramin impulse coasters. I think a standard B&M looping inverted is much better. The launch on this coaster is great, as is the twisting climb and backwards dive. The other vertical section at the opposite end is pretty fun too. Overall, a very good ride.

This is a blast

The launch is really fun and it is good to experience at the front and at the back - a great addition to a great park.
