To me, this is a tie for BBW. This coaster uses the suspended cars to the maximam by swinging them to the fullest! It has so many head and foot choppers...plus some ground choppers where you think the car is going to run into the ground! It's a great ride!

Would be a much better ride if it wasn't over in less than 30 seconds. There isn't enough to it to make it worth a moderate wait.

Sadly this is the best coaster in the park!... But it is a good ride. Its fast paced and has a lot of side to side swinging going on.

I like this ride b/c its suspended....i think that the park needs to have more dangle rides like face/off, reptar, and this....this is a great ride though...but it SUCKS at night!! its all extra squeeky...thats a big "no no" and the climb to the station kinda wears u out!...but other than that...pretty good ride..fast and cool...8/10

One word...RUSH!

Though the ride is done in a snap, it is probibly the best, and smoothest suspended coaster out there.

Awesome suspended ride! Was also my first coaster!

I rode it the year it was built and have never stopped loving coasters since.

Nothing special. It certainly is better than Iron Dragon but I prefer PCW's Vortex over this.

The best of the 3 suspended I have been on. Lots of swing and even a bit of airtime.
