This was a great ride. However, Worlds of Fun removed it due to maintanance costs, and replaced it with the "family coaster" spinning dragons. This was a rather intense ride, very jolty, but it was corkscrew. It had cobra bends, interlocking loops, and a really cool swooping drop, plus some pretty good scenery and theming. The on ride photo section was at the beginning of a loop, causing many a strange picture. Great ride, but business is business. It is unknown whether or not this ride will be moved elsewhere as of this post.

This ride in the back was the scariest ejector air I have ever gotten or think I ever will get.
