I went on it with my 5 year old son earlier this year. My boy had to sit in the sidecar (there are 2 at the end if you look closely, you'll see them).

It' great, acceleration off the line is incredible and Scott was a bit freaked by it, but by the end of the 1st corner he was loving it.

It was pretty impressive. I spent most of my time looking backwards checking on Scotty as it was pretty extreme for a little kid. One of his older friends was too scared to go on it.

Quite a short ride, but deffo worth a go and I would have gone on again, but it broke and we'd moved on before it was fixed.

not sure that appeals to me although I love rollercoasters. Don't think I would feel safe not being strapped in from the top lol
