Here you are strapped into a seat with your feet dangling, blasted 200 feet up in the
air, and then allowed to partially free-fall back down. The scariest part of the ride
by far is the apprehension that builds as you sit, strapped in, waiting for the ride to
launch; blasting up and falling down are actually pleasant. We've seen glaciers that
move faster than the line to Doctor Doom. If you want to ride without investing half
a day, be one of the first in the park to ride.
