It was nice and foggy during my visit today and I got a ride in the fog, front row, on this. DAMN that was an entirely different experience. Being up at the top and not being able to see the ground is so bizarre, but so cool. It gives that sense of, “when are we going to stop going down?!?!” That is so fun!

Oh, so you pass out from the force of that first turn? Good to know. Maybe you shouldn’t ride it if you find it so boring.
Is everyone just pretending this person isn't a troll? Every post from them is like this.
His first few posts were actually realistic, and I thought he was just some dumb 12 y/o, but the more he posted the more it was obvious that he was a troll.
He seems to be an unusual troll. His posts were weirdly on-topic for each thread.
honestly, its kinda funny tbh, id rather a troll be like this and actually making me laugh over a troll thats just an ass. anyways on topic for i305, this thing has been running insanely well this year.
I love how this ride only really has any significant queue during haunt on Saturdays it seems like. It just demolishes lines with the 32 people trains. I feel like most of the time a line forms from the station because some person is standing there for some reason. Just agonizingly preventing you from that juicy empty back row line.
I wish they’d consider changing up the front row setup because you can see how much visible confusion the sign being so low causes with its somewhat not that obvious arrow for the average group getting in line.

this happens to me every time. Some people just like to wait for one line to get short, which is inevitable because they're blocking throughput anyway.
Seema to be an Intamin thing. VelociCoaster has a bit of that happening in its back car as well. Doesn't make the experience any less it just is noticeable.
It's not an Intamin thing..... actually, it seems that B&M is more widely regarded as having these rattles but they develop on nearly any brand of coaster. It's usually more related to maintenance than anything else.
VelociCoaster? I didn't notice a single rattle on that coaster anywhere and I mostly rode it in the back. Perhaps you rode it just before a wheel change or something.
Trust me, the B&M rattle isn't new to me. But certain Intamin rides have a similar rattle. It doesn't create seat vibrations as much but more so is audible. VelociCoaster and Cheetah Hunt both come to mind.
Trim it so it isn’t running at 90mph. The ride is fast and puts a ton of stress on the track; I’m actually impressed how smooth it is.
