It was the only rollercoaster I'd ever ridden on where no one screamed on the way down the first drop- everyone was too shocked! A beautiful, smooth, exhilarating ride with amazing air time, left us with a 20 minute adrenalin high after (and an hour of deathly fear before, as we waited to ride the first time)

People have gotten used to the ride now, and there are plenty of screams on the way down, but it is still a heck of a great ride.
