| - The roller coaster itself is pretty great. It has some very steep climbs and drops...a loop and a corkscrew, plus great views of the strip. If your'e going to ride it, it's worth waiting for the front...it provides an experience unlike any other coaster I've been on. It literally feels like you're going to fall out because there is little to nothing in front of you.
Some things about it are super not great, though...:
Their line management is atrocious. It took about 45 minutes to actually get on the thing, which you find out at the end is because they regularly run cars with empty rows. Basically, every few minutes they let the number of people who could fit in a roller coaster through the gate, then a lot of people wait for the front and empty rows happen all throughout the rest of it.
It's a lawsuit waiting to happen. If you look at the pictures, you can see that the restraints are a weird double system where you pull a bar like thing into your waist and then shoulder restraints down. Mine didn't sit right on my shoulders, either because they locked out before I got them right or because they wouldn't go lower (which seems unlikely since I'm pretty tall and my [short] gf next to me was able to pull hers down a lot. Anyway, as a result my neck bashed into the restraints the whole ride. I could easily see breaking your neck on this rickety thing.
The staff are Nazis about using your phone in the coaster loading area because they're paranoid about you stealing their extremely crappy photos the ride takes while you're on it.
It's $14...and no single ride roller coaster is worth $14.
They could also improve the experience through not selling tickets while you're standing in line, not having 3 lines, and having a better way to move up the line that doesn't involve everybody just pushing, shoving, and cutting their way on.
