Well at least they're being up front with the fact that the line for The Italian Job Stunt Track has one speed and unfortunately its slow.

I really had a lot of fun on Italian Job earlier this year at the media day and it is still as fun now as it was back then.

The nice thing about this ride is yes it is a launched heavily themed coaster but it is not too intense so that most of the family can ride it together.

I am glad though that I got to experience this ride on its media day because back then all of the special effects were up and running. For example this is where you pull into an industrial area where you're attacked by a helicopter. In May we were sprayed by water from where the bullets struck the barrels around us, there was mist and of course the huge explosion before we headed on down into the subway to escape. Now only about half of the effects were operating leaving me missing out on the full effect.

Also the soundtrack on the cars were out as well as the headlights and taillights which really took away from the tunnel part of the ride. I'm not meaning to complain a lot but I really like this ride and I hate seeing it without some of its key effects.
