^ Dont tear it down if they gave it all new trains that are more comfortable like B&M Hyper comfortable then this ride would be so much better and problem fixed but then theres all the downtime this thing gets so who knows

Its poorly designed from top to bottom. And its just a money pit with no real light at the end of the tunnel.

See this is where I'm wanting to agree with all of you this was a huge Money pit even though I can uselly get a good ride everytime I go the last time I rode it though it felt like my brain just exploded and having all the lights(It was at night) was like an expierence I never had before :confused: But if they ended up tearing it down i'd probably shed a tear or two but I'd have to deal with it...

I had the best ride so far on it today. Front row, smooth as can be. But Ive also felt like Ive left a few pieces of brain matter in those nets before, so I just got lucky this time. Though it did break down on a few occasions as did the mummy...

Finally, finally riding this for the first time on the 20th. Is it really that rough? What are the major problems with it? I've been looking around a bit and the most I can gather is that most people dislike it and everybody talks about brain matter a lot. Prepare me, internet dudes.

I guess it depends on what car you get. I mean mine was shaky but for some reason it had no effect on me and actually got rid of the headache I had, so it honestly depends. Ive gotten serious neck aches while other times having a really good ride. Fingers crossed you have a good experience!

And slappybob, I still have yet to be able to ride it at night. Soon, very soon!

Thank you! :smiley:

The only times coasters have roughed me up a bit too much were after the dozenth time in a row, or something like that, so hopefully I'll be fine. Now, to deliberate over song choice...

And I'm hoping for a nighttime ride, too! I've never been at the parks in the dark other than Gradventure, which was incidentally a few months before HRRR's opening and meant I got to stare at this fully-built, lit-up, cool-looking coaster that I couldn't ride. Heh.

No problem! I enjoy it everytime even if it is rough, that first drop is intense! I always go with Limp Bizcuit or Evanescence but today I tried getting the secret song and it didnt work and chose this weird electronic song. lol

Well if you do get a panel that lets you pick the secret song choose lose yourself by eminem or float on by modest mouse :thumbs:

Float On is one I'm considering, and I'm definitely trying Lose Yourself at some point in the future. I'm just weird about how I do things, and I apply a lot of sentiment and value and thought and metaphor and other such crap to just about everything, so I'd prefer it to be a song related to something that means a lot to me for the first ride. Like, the Modest Mouse and Muse songs would both be candidates because they're fantastic bands that mean a bunch to me.

Nothing on the non-secret songs really offer that, but I think I'll go with one of them the first time just so I'm not risking an arbitrary song.

I really have nothing to do but think about my two-day trip for the next fifteen days, if it wasn't evident enough.
