What riders love
  • Its more like a haunted house in the sky on rails.
  • However, the different axis of rotation makes this ride SO much more comfortable, and actually pretty fun!
  • I like how disorienting and unpredictable they are.
  • Depending on the seat you are in you dont really know what is happening. It is really thrilling.
  • It's random how many inversions you get, and I didn't get too many, but at least it flips you near the brink of a full rotation, so it always feels out of control either way.

Some of the forces were very unique and not stuff you get anywhere else which was cool but it could cross the border between gimmicky/unique and painful.

Shmee

2nd ride was at times jarring and unpleasant, 1st and 3rd rides were outstanding.

John Montague

Every part of the layout was intense and fun, too bad it’s pretty short and the line was long for my entire visit.

RThirtyEight Coasters

This one felt more insane than the other one I’ve done being Tumbili and I was getting some actually insane flipping in some sections in ways that somehow made me dizzy and disoriented.

Shmee

It is really thrilling.

Will Anderson

...time, so you don’t really know when your going to flip, and sometimes your getting fully pushed out into the restraint for a sustained feeling of time, which makes you feel like you’re going to fall...

I went on this a couple days ago, and all I can say is- it’s a LOT more intense than it looks

@nedneedschlorine6366

the forces on this thing are very intense but it seems so tame from the ground

@vivid.worker

I highly recommend saving it for the start or end of the day, because its wait=times get super-short due to being in a corner of the park, and people would rather line up for the Top Fuel dragsters...

Panthrpants

this ride is insane bro but they operate it so poorly that i waited an hour and a half for this ride when there was only like 300 people in line

Unfortunately, capacity is a bit of an issue on this model, so if there’s a long line you’re probably better off giving other rides your attention.

Kellen Grady, Captain Coaster review

Not a fan of these S&S freespin restraints, it pushes your stomach hard on the plastic.

California Coaster Addict, Captain Coaster review

I love these models and actually look forward to grabbing these credits at the parks I go to.

Evangelion Martini, Captain Coaster review

You get good rides with lots of disorienting flips sometimes, and you get bad rides where you just kinda float around.
