Kings Dominion
This looked
like an interesting ride although I had some reservations about getting on it –
with good reason, as it turns out. Once
harnessed in and having reached the point of no return, I told myself OK, let’s
do it and get it over with. From the
loading station, the train ascends 128 feet and descends 144 feet into a
tunnel, then goes up into a vertical loop followed immediately by a half
corkscrew. These first two inversions were extremely
rough; I banged my elbows and hit my head against the harness several
times. That was enough to spoil the ride, as I don’t
find getting beaten up by a roller coaster to be much fun. Fortunately, the final two inversions were
actually a pleasure, as they were not nearly as rough as the first two. I would
by no means classify this as a high thrill ride and it doesn’t travel at high
speeds but does have some nice elements and is probably a good coaster for its type.
3 out of 5 stars.
