I have to say ,I've ridden it over 30 times.
and i've ridden it 6 times in a row due to low lines, i love it, and maybe its my short neck or the new trains, but i've hardly had head blows.
I'd give it a 4 out of 5
side note, i like the turtles that live in the water below the ninja turtles

Even tho the Ninja is not smooth, I dont quite find these corkscrew coasters that bad as far as pain, there just uncomfortable with bad transitions. The only truly horrid Corkscrew coaster was the dreaded Steamin' Demon at Great Escape. Ninja i do like tho because it is different. Different shaped loops give a ride you wont find at other places. I dont really mind this one.

Yeah, the St. Louis Ninja hurts pretty bad, but it usually depends on your height and where you sit. The very front and back cars can be quite painful, but middle-back cars are somewhat easier. Also, since I’ve grown about 8 inches throughout my visits to SFSTL, it has been less painful as I am taller since the restraints don’t bang your head, but more you upper neck. To lessen the head-banging, actually grab the restraint as a sort of grip, then you don’t really feel much. As a side note, this Ninja also has a terrifying head-chopper moment. You pass right under the lift hill chain, and every single time I duck my head in fright.

Seeing the reviews above, I'd say that's a pretty smart decision.

My husband and I rode Ninja the summer of 2010. The setting on the water is a nice touch, but now that we have that credit I can't image that we would ever re-ride it. As someone who grew up in St. Louis, I have to agree with Cade about the sad state of that Ninja coaster. Age and poor upkeep have not been kind to that coaster.

I rode it a couple of times. It wasn't too bad since rode the second seat from the back which I believe is the magic seat. As least that's people say.

I may be in the minority here….lol Anyways, it's not the worst coaster I've ever ridden, nor is it anywhere near great. In fact of the 3 times I've visited the park since 1998, I've actually come off it fine; riding once or twice per trip. Maybe I just sat in the right seat or kept my head situated properly. I haven't been too beaten up on this coaster. It's just something to ride because it's there.

As far as it being very re-rideable? Not so much…I do agree it to be rough and wouldn't recommend a newbie to coasters start with it. I did take a friend of mine on it in 2008 and it was his first coaster (ever)….of course he didn't tell me he had never been on one until after we got off….lol He came off fine tho.

Joel, You warned me before I headed to this park, but I wanted the credit, so I rode it. Photogenic … yes. Painful … yes. Predator-like … yes. (Does that count as alliteration?)

Wow is it more painful than SFGAdv's former Great American Scream Machine? I have to say even though you warned me, I will still ride it. I want the credit and want to see how bad it is. I rode the SFNE cyclone and found it not painful at all, and you gave it a 1. Maybe they rehabbed Cyclone because I rode it last year or I got a lucky seat. I doubt they rehabbed this though, and seats don't matter on these rough loopers.

This ride is a perfect example of why there are very little custom Vekoma loopers in this world.
