I have been on the ride...ABSOUTELY AWESOME!!!

Between the g forces and weightlessness, it is cool

I don't know how accurate it really is, but it was very intense

I agree.
I rode it the first week it opened.

The g-forces are out of this world... pun very much intended. :)

But I agree, the weightlessness is amazing. I wonder how long you feel weightless though.

Here here...rode it twice so far and it still amazes me!
