By far, this ride is the best in the park. If you compare this hyper coaster to others, you will see that it is actually quite small, and they should of taked advantage with a higher drop. However, this hyper wasn't made for height, it was made for an adventure over endless amounts of hills and bunny hops. There are several points where you are just moving flat, straight. This actually prepares for the next hill and gets some nervousness built up into you. The ending completes the story a blast! You hit a couple bunny hill and then, bam! You suddenly go from speed to 0, watching the queve line look at you in suspence and horror. One of the greatest coasters around, it's a coaster that all enthusiasts must conquer!

Rating : 9.5 / 10
