The ride is ok, but the themeing completely sucks.

This was one of the rides I was completely surprised by. I only entered the queue to take in Disaster Transport so I could get it in my coaster count, but it turned out to be a really fun ride. The glow-in-the-dark theming and decorations were extremely tacky and lame, but the ride itself is sooo fun. But I didn't like how the enclosure wasn't ventillated, so the temperature is very hot when you're on the ride.

It was a fun ride but the themeing could have been better.

I just got on this after WT when the park closed. It is scary walking through that line by yourself.

^ Hahahahaha, I know what you mean.

Last year, my friend and I were really bored so we spent like 2 hours just scaring people in the line. We would hide back in a dark corner and jump out at people as they walk by.

Had to wait for 45 minutes for this ride. What a let down. Scenery and props that made it a 'disaster' were lame and made no sense. Skip this ride and move on to bigger and better things.

The ride wasn't that great and wwhat I can't believe is how long the ride line is! I mean, did people actually wait for it through all those sectors for this ride?? Sad...

Overall an average coaster. That's all I can say. Don't bother riding it given wicked Twister is 2 feet away.

Would be a lot better if they had kept the original theming so the point of the ride made sense.

Terrible theming, but a good ride for beginning riders. The only way to ride this ride is front seat, or you'll be totally disapointed.

I absolutely hate this ride! Heck, whenever I count the coasters at CP for people, i totally forget about this ride, its just that bad. There is no point to it, its just there. Hmmm, maybe they need to take this out and make room for say, oh maybe a future coaster??

I disagree with some of you, i enjoyed this ride very much! It was a nice break from the high speed thrills, the hot sun, and the long waits. It was a fun ride, poor theming, but still a fun ride and a nice touch with making it indoors. I would have never guessed that it was a bobsled coaster...

I thought this was a really fun coaster, the first bobsled coaster I have ever rode. It wasnt an intense thrill, but I really enjoyed my experience on this coaster, and I would hope that other would too. Its not bad, its not horrible and yets its not great either, but it is a good coaster.

Even though its two and a half minutes, it doesnt seem like it. The hill takes about 30 seconds, and the theming isn't that great. An okay ride, but not on my list of have-to rides. When my dad told me that it was a bobsled coaster, i pretty much screamed. I was pretty young, and I thought that i was going to fly off the tracks.

Nice ride. My second favorite indoor ride now, only behind Flight of Fear.
