Great ride in the back. Got some good air off of the drop and off of the helix (when the trim on the bottom is off). Crappy in the front, but excellent in the back.

The first drop is exciting, but after that the trims absolutely kill the ride.

I didnt like red as much as blue. The ride needs to be un-tirmed They slow the train down so much and 3 or 4 spots...
