But I rode it again and again and again. I think 5 o6 6 times. One of the best I've ever rode. One of the only inverted roller coasters I ever rode. Great review! I was so skiddish about riding it.

The first time I ever rode it, we had arrived at Kings Dominion early for a special event where they opened the coaster early for us so we were literally the first ride of the day (about a year after it opened). I was quite surprised by the takeoff, but even more surprised when half-way out of the top of the volcano, we lost all momentum and proceeded backwards back down through the inside of the mountain the the station! Upon arrival the induction magnets slowed us down - so much so that it took about 5 minutes of slowly drifting backwards to reach the beginning of the magnet array. Employees explained this happened sometimes when the magnets weren't "warmed up yet." Not sure how scientific of an explanation this is, or whether the coaster still does this, but it was quite exciting and a unique experience.
