Would do. Wouldn't wait in a big line for it as the ride time is on the short side

I like that the suspense part is at the start of the lift hill as that's one of faster lift hills I've ever seen and super functionally gets the train to the top of the hill and just sends it over.

I've always appreciated coasters that take advantage of the local geography to create bigger drops than just the lift hill. Semi-locally Tatsu at Magic Mountain is built with the ride line at the top of the hill and thus has a drop that extends well below where the riders board the train.

There’s one at Dollywood (Wild Eagle) that has a drop of like 150’ and is almost never more than 30ft off the ground. It’s awesome -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 10:43
Cedar point is greaet for this. The views of the lake are spectacular from the top of the coasters -- nm* - oblique Oct 25, 10:04
Yeah, it did feel notably short -- nm - Beryllium Oct 25, 09:58
