I did not want to go on any of the stratosphere rides That night, but my friend bought me a ticket so I had to go on at least one ride or else she would've wasted her money, I chose this one thinking it would be the easy one, It's the only ride that doesn't go off the ledge. I had been on the tower of terror, and the supreme scream at Knott's berry farm so I thought this was about the same thing. I WAS WRONG! This is a totally different ride. first of all those rides take you up slowly then drop you so you know when to brace yourself. I was not aware that this ride would shoot us up fast, as if we were in a sling shot pulled all the way back and then released up into the air. Once you are shot to the top You no longer see the tower you are on, or your family down on the platform waiting for you. You only see the sky around you and it is Incredibly intense. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys thrills
