Submission

This ride has to be based on one of the simplest concepts ever conceived when designing a roller coaster. It's all based around one 87.5 degree drop that your stopped over before falling strait down into a hole in the ground, before you come out the other side.

This concept has been done very well, and the theming of the queues and the drop adds to the tension created by the ride, and the drop is very thrilling.

 

The problem is that there isn't much else to it other than that first drop, the experience is more like a good thrill ride than a good roller coaster. This is slightly disappointing, and would make me think twice about going on it if there was a long queue. On a quiet day though it is still a good ride, with a thrilling experience on offer.
