Probably my favorite roller coaster that I’ve ridden. The inversions are super fun and the seats are pretty comfortable as far as roller coaster seats go. Even if there’s a pretty big line, I think this coaster is worth the wait.

Wonderful ride...this Gerstlauer in the middle of Iowa is world class. It has a great first drop but where it really shines is the amazing hang time. It has significantly better hang time than it's sister ride Hang Time out at Knott's Berry Farm.

Falling out of your seat sensation while cresting the lift hill and into a hang time roll while you try to figure out which way your organs are going. I clocked in from 80 to 150s on a smart watch heart rate monitor. Much improved over the dragon and a must ride attraction!
