Project Zero review by pazzap

by pazzap, 1 year ago
Rated 4.0 Incredibly underrated ride. I have been on over 600 coasters now and I don't rank Maurer skyloops as poor at all. I read a lot of hate on Buzzsaw, now Project Zero, and a lot of it seems to be because it is a one trick pony. But that trick is great!
The forces are strong and I mean INTENSE, especially in the very back. I start coming out of my seat around half way up the lift hill, and I only briefly get pushed down back into it at the base of the loop. The hangtime on this ride is superb, the forces are greyout inducing level for many, and the drop after the inversion at the apex has plenty of floater air as does the pendulum motion.
Of course something so incredibly short will never be a 5 star ride, and there is a nasty head bang as your head gets thrust forward and then slams back into the headrest with the brakes. SO, beware of that. For pure scare factor, this is one of very few rides that actually makes me nervous till we have traversed the apex, it would be terrifying being stuck up there with a lap bar and hangtime the entire time.
Note, the back row is THE most intense spot and elevates the ride to 4 stars, so that's the row to request. You invert again when you travel backwards up the loop and get more glorious hangtime, and you get pulled very viciously around the apex after the lift hill.
Front row is about a 3.5 and middle rows a 3 star, they really are noticeably more tame, but front has the usual addition of nothing in front of you, but the forces can not compete with the back row. Not even close.
