Better than Stealth only due to the lap bars got some air time on the top hat. The over banks are good as well.

This makes me mad that they short cut the ride! They gave it all this speed to what? But to put brakes on! Why dont they
let the Coasters RUN FREE!!!

wow..this is even more exciting than speeding down the 405 in LAX traffic:-)
I especially enjoy the quick view you get
cresting the Top-Hat section when the train feels like it is going to roll-back. The only thing I do not like is the
fact that if you watch the lights you know when the launch is coming. For those who have not been on this ride yet, do
not watch the starting lights, it is more exciting that way.

One word why this is better than the other 2 Accelerators I've been on...
Lap-bars... (One word cos of the hypen
fools :P)
Riding an Accelerator with lap-bars is just so much better than the cramped Intamin OTSRs, and plus the
extra turns are taken at a very good speed to make them intense but not overally so...
However, the single station
doesn't work well, especially with the very 'rules-lawyer' view of Knott's, meaning you end up sat on the brakes for a
while...
Therefore, an 8...

This is such an awesome ride. The launch was incredible, better than Rita and Stealth's. The top hat and the overbanks
were great, and it was such an enjoyable ride overall, made even better with the lap bars.

Well, its pretty clear that this is my favorite ride ever. (hence the screen name) Theres never a long line in the
winter, u wait for 10 min. tops!!! The best part is the launch! The feeling seeing the green light go is amazing!!!

Loved the feeling of looking down the launch zone in the front row waiting for the green light. The top hat was filled
with airtime and the launch was excellent!

Brilliant coaster. The launch was sweet and the overbanks were so much better than Stealth's bunny hop. You go over the
top hat much faster than on Stealth thankfully.

This is my favourite coaster ever. Zoom! Straight out the station, air-time fille top hat. Sweet overbanks all with
lap-bars. Fantastic at the front and equally good at the back. Only problem though is those brakes, urgh they're so
sharp.

This ride is great! The tophat has some great ejector. This may be short but its a lot of fun.

The ride is pretty thrilling. The most thrilling part is the top hat. The overbanked turns add to the rides originlaity.
The 50's style station adds a nice touch to the ride.

Why is there a twister section on this ride and not on Dragster, Stealth, Kingda Ka, or that one in Japan?

A great ride, albeit a bit short. The launch is pretty good, and the overbanked turns are quite nice as well.
The
tophat gives off some amazing ejector.

Stealth is amazing, but this is better.
What Stealth should have been, to add that extra kick.

The best rollercoaster in the world that sends you 82 mph up a very large hill but could be better with a few more
twists.

I find lapbars on launch coasters off putting, but I rode this one and I'm glad I did. It puts Stealth to shame, the
speed and height r simular, but the lapbars allow far more airtime and the hilly circuit that follows the tophat reminds
me of Xpedition G-force. One of the best coasters going, although they cud hav made it betta by putting some inversions
in. I suppose the next step up 4 me wud b TTD, oh boy!! That looks horrible.

I loved this ride: it is the most thrilling ride I have been on in my life. Just the way you are sent straight up the
loop at 82mph: there are not really words to describe that thrill.
