I already have. Plus, love the spelling

[Flynn_Smith]

Boy oh boy i cant wait to ride the Stell Tiepan 360° Tailwhip!

Considering in peaks backwards for DCR can hit $25, this is totally justifiable.

[Baconjack]

I would, even more so than DCR backwards!

We don't have a modern spinning coaster here so I definitely see the appeal of it, plus I've heard good things about coasters like Ride to Happiness to justify spending the $25 on it!

I might try it once. Maybe my first ride if its a really long queue. I won't be able to make it until Sunday the 19th. Unfortuantly its too close to christmas to take time off work.

I wouldn't even pay $15 but that's just me. People are clearly willing to pay so the parks will keep charging.

I would pay the price, but I don’t think my stomach could handle it

[Rabbit2014]

I will definitely pay for 2 rides (1 with a Heavy friend and next time with a light friend to see how much it effects the spin) and ride normal after that but will ride the spinning seat again during a night ride.

[Brad2912]

I’ll do it once, and possibly again in the future if mates are holidaying and want to give it a go - same as what I have done with DCR backwards seats 

[Jakev8]

Yeahh Nahh Nahh Yeahh

[bladex]

Despite my aversion to polls on the forums - i feel as though this thread (spelled correctly) would benefit from a poll either 'would you pay' or 'how much would you pay'...

much like DC Rivals i'd pay it at least once in the early visits, again whenever i was riding with a first time rider for their experience, and any time i'm dropping in quickly, and the queue is too long.

I have prebooked for the 15th and have no issue with that cost during holidays, neither do I have an issue with $20 for DCR backwards during the holidays.

I do however hope when the tailwhip train is used outside of peak there is a lower pricing structure. At $10/$15 it is something I would likely do most visits. Would hate to see the seats sit empty as DCR seats often do during offpeak.

@Park Addict 93I was thinking of pre-booking but I think people will get a chance to ride by this weekend.

I absolutely agree but will be there on the 15th regardless.

It does seem like a lot, but keep in mind that it's only on one of the trains, meaning low capacity throughput per hour, and the technology probably requires extra maintenance from the crew in charge of maintaining the trains. It was always going to be pricier than DCR backwards.

That being said, DCR's price has fluctuated frequently and then not operated at all at times, so it's hard to get a measure on what guests think is a reasonable price for that experience. Either way, Tailwhip (I keep almost calling it Tailspin) should rightfully be the more expensive of the two. It's more expensive to maintain and, in my opinion without having ridden it yet, an all-around more intense and unique experience.

Ill pay once, and then never again
