The presentation of this ride does stand out from the rides around it. It was in place before the area around it was designed the way it was, and it does stick out among them. It could do with a new paint job to help it match the colour scheme of the other rides in the Metropolis area.

With it's lack of theming, and of spinning cars this may seem like a pretty standard coaster at first glance, which you could dismiss as behind the times. It's true it has a feeling of being from a past decade, but that's not to say everything was worse back then.

 

One of the hi-lights of the ride has to be the first drop. It's only a small one of about a metre, but it goes strait in to a 90 degree turn, where it does create the illusion for a split second that the car is going to run over the edge, an illusion that just isn't carried off on the more modern versions of this ride.

It does a good job on the rest of the ride as well. Although the perception of speed never reaches more than a medium level it hits all the u-turns, drops and bumps at a good rate. Another hi-light of the ride has to be a point where it hits a u-turn, then goes strait in to another 90 degree turn, then strait in to a drop. It's a ferocity of track design you don't get on the more measured designs of a lot of modern wild mice.

This ride may not be the most modern, but it has a fair amount to offer, hopefully it will get the aforementioned makeover, so it fits in as part of Flamingo Lands line up and continues to provide good family thrills for years to come.
