I thought it had more forces and felt faster than the Superman at SFNE, I know im in the minority there but I can't
change how the rides were to ME.

I love this ride. It never gets boring, and that's why I rode it 23 times in 1 day! Yes, I did. It's possible (with
great lines). I even got about 20 other rides on different coasters! Definate 9

I would say that Steel Force (a Morgan hyper) has seats that are more comfortable, but this runs smoother than Magnum
(an Arrow hyper). This broke down leaving us cooking in the sun, but after riding several times, it became a good ride.

i just got back from riding this and i think that this is not a good ride at all, ya the drop is alrite and the airtime
at the end is ok but the helixes are a complete waist of space, im gonna be nice and give it a 7

The ejector on the second airtime hill is absolutely brilliant.

The first drop was really the only thing I liked. The flat sections were so-so for speed. And the ride did seem to bore
me not long after it started. I liked it, but not too much.

This is my ride. Especially in the back car. First drop is good and the sensations of speed are awesome. First helix is
extremely forceful and the 2nd airtime hill is great. I rode this 80 plus times in 06 and plan to beat that in 07

To be honest, it didn't do much for me. The first drop was okay, and I actually liked the flat sections for the
sensation of speed, but I do prefer SFNE's better layout and overall generally better pacing. This ride seemed to die
off rather quickly in the second half.

The layout deters me, the track looks forceless and is way oversupported. Although, now that I think about it, it can't
be that bad, but it doesn't seem to even come close to it's Six flags New England counterpart. Nor does it's mirror
clone (or is this one the clone?)
