Review Criteria
Enjoyment
The drop is only 5 seconds, but it is very fun. The wait at the top is about 40 seconds, which lets you take in the view (if you can keep your eyes open!) before plummeting back to the ground. This wait definitely builds up the suspense.Effectiveness
Does exactly what it says on the label.Intensity
You're 120 metres in the air for quite about 40 seconds - definitely scary especially if you don't deal well with heights. And the drop is extremely sudden and gives a great sense of freefall. Several seconds of weightlessness and the deceleration at the bottom is very forceful.Rider Comfort
Since it's a drop ride, it's pretty hard to go wrong. Although it has OTSRs, they were still really comfy.Pacing
Drop rides are generally pretty short - however this one does well by leaving you at the top for a while before dropping you.Theming/Storyline
Theming is very sparse. Could do with a revamp with the same level of theming quality we've seen on Wipeout, Tail Spin and Tiger Island.Upkeep/Presentation
Ride can sometimes look a bit worn down.Queue/Efficiency
In off-peak season Dreamworld may only operate one side, which essentially doubles the queue wait. With both sides running, queues can be very short even when other rides have very long ones.More Reviews
