Decent B&M Sitdown pretty good, awesome loops and sound system. Not worth the entrance price though.

Well I never thought I say this before, but this is by far the WORST B&M ever made before. I don't know where to start with it. Guess I'll start with the entrance to get to the actual coaster itself. You go through these double doors that lock behind and in front of you and you listen to a Led Zeppelin interview and song. Now if this was better thought through, there would be nothing wrong with it. But the entire thing is about 5-7 minutes long to listen to. Once it is over, the front doors open and you get on the ride. The problem is that it is TOO long. Pretty much when the doors open, the ride operators look bored because they were waiting for passengers to arrive. This makes for an incredibly slow dispatch time. They were running two trains the day I went, but honestly they could of just ran one. Because the song and interview is so long that one train can run the course before the thing is over with. If they wanted to do this, they should of had it in the regular line. This is a high capacity roller coaster, not a slow capacity simulator where you have time to kill. They totally missed the mark on this one. So I just got annoyed waiting. I only took two rides on LZ: TR because I did not have the patience for that last minute wait again. I also wanted to try different seating to see if it make a difference. It didn't. Once the doors do open, you are greeted with no line and straight to the train car, but because the rear doors were closed behind you, if that room did not fill up, you are talking about an almost empty train load. I NEVER saw a full train on this ride, because there was no room for people to advance. There was some cases, only one person was on the ride. And to make matters worse, the ride ops had the audacity to enforce assigned seating based off of where you stood in the room behind you? Why enforce assigned seating to 12 people for a 32 passenger train? Doesn't make sense to me. Now onto the ride.. the first drop is awesome, I loved it, but that's where it all stops. I was VERY shocked to see that this brand new B&M coaster is rather rough. It is not Vekoma SLC rough, but it is rough enough for you not to want to marathon it at all. I just did not enjoy it at all. I sure hope something can be done to fix this coaster, because I thought I never say I thoroughly did not enjoy a B&M roller coaster.
