Tips
- Converted from the stand-up coaster Mantis in 2015 — the floorless conversion improved the ride significantly
- One of the lowest average waits for a major coaster in the park — ride it as a gap-filler
- Six inversions including a vertical loop, dive loop, cobra roll, and two corkscrews
✅ Pros
- Very short waits compared to its quality level — consistently underrated
- The floorless design gives a surprisingly open feel even on a familiar B&M layout
- Smooth ride quality typical of B&M
⚠️ Cons
- The layout is a converted stand-up coaster and it shows in some of the transitions
- Overshadowed by Raptor, which offers a similar inversion count with more intensity
