It has a great view on top you can see Chicago on a clear day and maybe Michigan or Wisconsin. Its a good ride its not thats scary at all its safe your not gonna fall off. I've seen young kids riding it and they keep going back after riding it which you'll probably do when you try it.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

I am still scared of this ride, but I really don't know why. I can ride Deja vu and Bull all the time, but when I watch this ride, I freak out. I know I sound like an idiot, but this topic is easeing my fears. Maybe I'll ride it on my next trip.

Or just look up, and you will see that there is no more space between your car, and the top. On a carnival ride (Windy City Amusements), they have it where so that you can't see up above you. So, you don't know when you are going to drop. :shock: Make this picture bigger in your window.

Super Shot is slanted inwards so you can't see anything above you. I hate this trick!!! By way, this ride goes faster than Giant Drop.

Yeah, and as soon as you hit the top you drop with no pause. It's great.

Actually you stay up on the top for a few seconds before you drop! :D
But its an awesome ride and DONT look down. Thats the only thing that will creep you out.
