It was awesome! We got the video of us flying and it's hilarious. I was with two girls who can scream VERY loud!

I've always wanted to ride it, but not pay for the expensive addmission! From what I've heard, it's almost like bungee jumping but you soar through the air, and that it's VERY scary and intense! :)

If you've never ridden it how can you possibly have any comment on it?? Go ride it then judge....Its an awesome rush!

First of all, you can't see anything holding you up. You're looking straight down. Pulling the ripcord is pretty hard when you're up there. When you start falling, you face straight down, and free fall until the cable catches. When you head back up, you get some good negative G's for a couple seconds. And after all of that, you swing around and that's a lot of fun. It's worth every penny, and it's a lot scarier than any coaster I've ridden.

Anyone who won't ride it because they "don't want to pay the expensive admission" is just crazy. It's not *that* expensive, and for what money you do spend, the ride is worth every penny.

Better thee than me.

I did it once. ONLY once, it was that scary to me. The only reason I rode it was because my 9 year old wanted to ride, and the hubby and I didn't want him riding alone, and the price drops per person when 2 or 3 ride instead of one.

So....get a couple of friends to go on with you.
