Amazeballs!
I had so much fun and it's totally worth the wait! (We got there around 9pm and it took about an hour). The staff was lighthearted and pretty much had the same sense of humor. I got a kick out of them saying "I hope I did the ropes right; it's my first night," " this clip looks funny," etc etc to people that were a little scared. All in good fun, right?
The platform getting up there is a little wobbly but other than that it's super safe. Despite the young crew working, they were responsible and double/triple/quadruple checked everything.
Although the ride was fairly short and I loved every second of it. It was great looking at all the lights and the tiny people waving and cheering us on from the ground. It was so liberating! I highly recommend this excursion to really experience the FREMONT EXPERIENCE!
