Performance

Vs. other coasters at Lost Island Theme Park

The ride ops were so kind and suggested the back row as the most comfortable option and it honestly was great to the point I wanted to stay on.

I spent most of the ride grasping the OTSR and saying "ow" "ugh" "aah." The layout looks like fun, but I was getting smacked around too much to enjoy it.

Though the park went through the effort to give this SLC vest restraints, the train tracks so roughly (definitely rougher than your average SLC) that the ride feels like just an averagely rough SLC, just minus the headbanging.

Evangelion Martini, Captain Coaster review

The ride itself was on the rough side but honestly normal for a Vekoma SLC.

David, Captain Coaster review

That rough part on the roll is the most violent thing I have ever experienced.

YouTube commenter, review

It’s bumpy but go on it more than once and you know what to expect.
