This coaster is really nice to ride. There is no sides so it makes it kinda scary.

I like how when you are going up the list and throughout the ride you can't see any of the track below you and the unexpected air time.

The first drop on this ride looks so weak and not very steep when you are waiting to ride it, but it never seems to keep from grabbing my stomach. This ride is so much more powerful than it looks. I challenge anyone to keep there arms up in those loops too. KILLER G's in those little bad boys.

The blackout on the second loop is really neat. The unexpected airtime, at least when riding in the back row, is also amazing.
