this ride was awesome for many reasons: awesome and fast first drop, insaine loop, one of the best in line twists, and the final helix is SO AWESOME, and thight. I rode this ride in the front only and it was sick!! great ride!!

Suprising little inverted coaster. I honestly didnt expect much from this but it certainly delivered. Theres something about this ride that just makes it what it is. It currently sits at my #23 overall coaster which is nothing incredibly special, but I seem to get a great big smile every time I think about this ride. I dont know if its that amazing first drop, the disorienting zero-G roll, the intense finale, or the beautiful color scheme. Whatever it is, Talon will not disapoint, even for the seasoned coaster enthusiasts.

Fast and intense, Talon is one of the best inverts out there. It is set in a prime location in the park, right as you come in, making for a great entrance, particually with a ground hugging helix right there, which is taken at spectacular speed.

Along with Steel Force this is another top-notch rollercoaster. The elements just seem to gel toghether so well. Its fast and furious and never lets up. From the inversions to the helixes every element is a joy to ride. And theres even a little bit of airtime. Great ride.

One of my favorite inverts, just below Montu and Top Gun:TJC. Even with only 4 inversions Talon is a blast. A smooth ride with comfortable seats/restraints.

Great, just great. This ride is awsome. Even though it is not the tallest or fastest coaster and only contains 4 inversions, it gives you a spectacular ride. I would have to say this ride is much better than even Montu, except for the scenery. Great compact inverted coaster!

incredible. thats the only way to describe it. i feels like youre speeding along the interstate with candy in your pocket listinin to good tunes on the radio. its that good. when you feel the floor drop out from beneath you, you feel kinda dizzy. then, youre off. 25 seconds of pure indrenaline going up the lift. then, the moment of truth. you see the ground, and you see your feet, and nothing else. GOODBYE! down the first drop into a loop that seems 500 feet high, and you go into the weird thing, and down through a helix, and into this other thing, and a BOOM CHUCKA LUCKA LUCKA BOOM! you are just pumped. that is my review on talon. goodnight

Talon is one of the roller coasters that shows that Walter Bolliger and Claude Malliard are friggin geniuses. This is the best invert I have ridden. (Ive also ridden Great Bear and Le Vampire aka Batman the ride) It is insane. It keeps you thinking, "What if I hit on of those blue poles at the force of a coaster train whizzing 56 mph? Wouldnt it hurt?" But nothing hurts on this coaster, being so darn smooth. Some elements are so low to the ground its not funny! Overall, withgreat elements and layout, this is one insane coaster.

Talon is a great invert, no question about it. It delievers everything from some airtime in the back to heavy gs on the helix. I also graeed-out on the first vertical loop, which shows how intense this ride is! I found the front to be more intense than the back actually.
