Superman is a fun ride, especially in the back but I really want to try a flying coaster that's built over some heavily wooded and hilly terrain.



Back seat though is fantastic if you want to get your rear end kicked a bit because going up into the pretzel loop you fly and when you hit the bottom those are some of the most intense positive g's you're going to feel as it pretty much flattens your whole body.



Something I normally skip at most amusement parks are rapids rides mostly because I hate spending the rest of the day walking around in soaked shoes.  I fixed that problem by acquiring a nice pair of waterproof sandals so I couldn't say no when Bond asked to take Roaring Rapids for a spin.



Completely soaked is how we ended up.  How soaked you ask?  Well Bond could wring a couple of cups of water out of his clothes.  That's how soaked.
