This is a solid launch coaster! To start, this ride duels every single time! The interactive moments with the other train is just so much fun. It starts of on the white side with an okay launch into the high five, and this offers some awesome lateral whip and a great pop of ejector airtime! The zero-g stall is also really great as you dangle above the other train. The booster launch has a great kick to it as well. The corkscrew has a nice floaty sensation, and the following helixes have great positive g-forces. The yellow side is mostly the same just without the zero-g stall. I also think the yellow side does better when it comes to positive g-forces. The trains on this are really uncomfortable, they really need to do something about those comfort collars. It's not the most airtime centric ride either so it doesn't rank as highly for me, but for what it does it is really fun!

Rode this twice during pass holder preview days. 2 different days. First time we waited about an hour. Mostly waiting for it to open. Second time we ended waiting 3 1/2 hours! Was it worth it. No, no ride is worth 3.5 hour wait. It’s a pretty cool ride but I like Twisted Colossus better. I do think they could do more with the queue. When you watch the same looping videos for over an hour they get old fast. The second launch is cool but I feel they could go faster. I’m not sure if this is permanent, or not, but they have you empty your drinks before heading up the stairs and you place your items in buckets before boarding. May be temporary but the sink is permanent.

Overrated. The comfort collars are bad, the seats are small and uncomfortable. The layout is actually really good but that second launch is nothing to shout at. Any airtime you would get is killed by the collars. It's a fun ride, it's smooth, but I can't look past the restraints. Therefore, it's a 4/5 for me personally. Also it always has one of the longest lines in the park.

I’m shocked this doesn’t have a five out of five. One of the absolute most fantastic rides in the park. It is absolutely glass smooth it’s fast. The launches are fantastic, the theming is fantastic. The two cars go all around each other the whole time in a dizzying dance. I was very shocked at how good the ride was my first ride, this ride is a 12 out of 10. I actually enjoy this ride more than twisted colossus, but twisted colossus is significantly longer so therefore, my vote probably goes to colossus only for that reason. A absolutely must ride in the park.

This ride is so much fun to be riding an experience, the other dueling coaster car that rides along the track with you. You got to basically run the ride twice highly recommend giving this ride a shot if you are at the theme park.
