You're sat down and it restrains over your thighs on each individual person, so it's fitted to your body. You can't slip out, but it feels weird and scary, I did love it and rode it 3 times.

it's incredibly smooth and fast.

To anyone considering doing it, I'd say what we always say to our 12-y-o son when he's contemplating whether he should do something: do it once as you might love it. if you don't, you never have to do it again.

(This doesn't apply to coasters - he loves them!)

I rode this yesterday and absolutely hated it - I know you can’t fall out but every time it went upside down I felt like I was coming out of my seat and I couldn’t hold on as my hands were so clammy 😂
I had my eyes closed for most of the ride too. I just wanted to do it one time, but, never again!
My dd loved it though.😊

I absolutely loved it but I have been a roller coaster fan since I was a child. Im 71 now & didn’t find it tough at all. Nothing like as bad as Skyrush at Hersheypark. That was once and done for me. 😱
Just remember it’s a lot safer than being in a car!

Absolutely terrifying. Screamed so much that I couldn’t talk when it stopped because my mouth was so dry.

But it was amazing and so glad I did it (I almost didn’t dare!)

Best ride for me, never screamed as much for any ride.

I purposely did not read anything about the ride, didnt even know if I would fit as I am plus size, saw the lap belts and was less confident, but I fitted and loved every scream.

I know my DS wouldnt have been ready for that ride before he was 14ish (hes a 24 yo adrenalin junkie now) but I also know my niece would have loved it at 10

Loved it. It’s a thing of beauty, the ride, the theming, the locker system and the line.

It’s so smooth. Early entry for the first ride of our holiday on Monday 🤞

I think it's one of those you potentially have to ride it to decide...I know that sounds silly, but like many others have said I'll ride any coaster, I love them and have never had any issues with them/been scared/felt ill. Some of my friends who have ridden it have been absolutely fine and would have gone straight back on it.

However this made my life flash before my eyes and I was ill! I was so excited and went on it with my brother. I hated that it was only a waist restraint (how it been similar to the likes of hulk I may have felt different) the airtime out my seat made me fear for my life! For me it started off absolutely fine, even going up to the top of that high drop, however when it got to the top and went over that's when things changed for me, I felt like I was floating going over. When it got to the corkscrew my head felt like it was going to explode. We got back to the loading bay and I was shaking, I felt like I was going to throw up, I couldn't stand straight for about 2 hours! I couldn't face eating or drinking anything and I parked myself up outside Three Broomsticks for about 2 hours in the shade with the cool from the restaurant whilst my family went off and enjoyed Hogsmede! The thing that made me feel better, melon! Dad brought me a pot of melon, I wolfed the lot and it was like the last few hours hadn't even happened I will say though it is very smooth and the theming is incredible.

Would I try it again next time I'm there potentially! Someone suggested some great motion sickness tablets from Walmart (I can't remember the name), but I was told to take them about an hour before I go on it. I wanted to enjoy it so much so I'm willing to try something different that may mean I enjoy it. If I still don't then I know it's not for me.
