All I can say is.....WOW!!! That ride gave me exactly what I look for in a THRILL RIDE!!! Butterflies and an adrenalin RUSH!! Sooo worth the fee! It's a short 3.5 minutes BUT the timing is perfect! FYI... Anchor yourself in as tight as possible and grip the harnesses. Being twisted and turned and flipped around has it's price, but then again....if you wanted a nice peaceful gondola experience.....go ride the Gondola Grampa!
