When this ride first opened it was to a lot of hype and fanfare, and rightly so. Not only was it the worlds first 10 inversion roller coaster, but it could also claim to be a brilliant must try ride.

Sadly the years haven't been kind to this ride, and it's lost a lot of it's original appeal. It's still a good exciting ride, with a good layout, including the 4 barrel rolls in a row, as well as my favourite part the final barrel roll before the station where it looks like your head is going to hit the ground.

It's also still excellently themed, with the lost city area you can walk through and view the ride, which does add to the anticipation of going on the ride.

 

What it's lost though is the edge it had. You don't fly around the track in the same exciting way you used to. Instead the ride has a more bumpy and rickety feel to it. This is a huge shame, because it really does detract from the ride. It's still a good ride, but it's now a good ride I'd want to go on once per visit, instead of the great re-rideable ride it used to be.
