One time you ride it and you feel fine after and during..The next you feel like puking all over the ride. The only time you get dizzy on the ride is after the two verticals in a row.

What a really intense ride! It gives me a thrill everytime I ride it. It provides a nice view of the park and has been a signature ride upon entering the park for over 15 years.

Keep your body relaxed going with the ride, following the center spine. The best elements for me are the drop, the first loop and the corkscrews at the end. It is not as well-themed as The Lockness Monster and I only recommend this coaster to enthusiasts who have mastered the craft of riding a steel looping coaster.

Contrary to what people say about this ride, I thought it was great.

Horrible! There wasn't one second after the first drop where my head was banging against the restraints! New Name: Great American PAIN Machine. I am never going on this again! I kept my head back and centered and sat in the front row (James said that is smooth) and it still felt like i was getting my head bitten off.

Edit: I went on it again and kept my head back.. it was much smoother!

I liked the layout and thought it was a cool concept. Rough and it gave me a headache.

Some people say this is rough, but I dissagree, it had 1 or 2 rough spots but overall it was a very enjoyable ride.
