How was your experience with airtime? In my experience the screaming swings (even smaller ones) have more consistent airtime on both ends.

It's not intense like Skyhawk, but it's there.
Depending on seat I definitely find it more intense when you're consistently on the outside of the swing at maximum height.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
So they’re handing out seat number passes as you enter the station area now.
Which I find to be so dumb.
Can't they just paint numbers on the ground like literally any other park? Also, line jumping at Striker is such a big problem. I think they need a taller rail running along the exit so the switchbacks aren't so easily accessible. Not even lying we were line jumped at least 4 times when we were there this week.
I find it so weird that they’re handing out number passes. First, why? This isn’t a coaster where seats actually matter. Second, when I went on a couple weeks ago, there was no assigned seat thing. So weird.
As for Sky Striker queue problems, they need to install cameras. I saw somebody vaping in the switchbacks last time I was there.
Agreed the passes aren’t necessary. Just tell us what seat number we have and that’s enough.
Perhaps they had issues with people not "remembering" their number?? I"m always amazed at how people can't follow the yellow lines to their car on Giant Drop lol Single Day Ride Count Record

I now have 3 total rides on Sky Striker. I like the ride and it's amazing how high it takes you! Each time I think we're at the apex we would go higher on a couple more swings.
What I don't like are the restraints (too tight) and the seats (too hard). I tried to flex out my shoulders to give me some breathing room on my 3rd ride. It helped a little. It would be amazing if it had vests and seats like X-Flight. Single Day Ride Count Record
