About the Company

rating: 4.4

If you had any idea what was waiting for you inside this seven and a half story tall rock mountain, you might think twice about daring to enter. This mountain is home to a dense network of underground caves and tunnels, and shooting through them is a high speed, fully-enclosed roller coaster with your name on it. You’re going to have to do some heavy-duty cave exploring just to get to this train. Make your way down the crumbling mineshaft into the ancient caves beneath the mountain. Now you’re going to explore some Texas tunnels the fun way, on this all-indoor coaster—in the dark! That’s right, you won’t have the faintest clue what’s coming next, as you take on a relentless high-speed course. Taking on this pitch-black course at 35 mph!

A ride I have always enjoyed, though its placement ruined a nice avenue through the park and removed my beloved Spinnaker. My last visit on 7/28/24 was a frustrating experience. The line was about a dozen people outside of the building but I was still stopped at the Flashpass entry point anyway. No big deal, Ill wait. Then no movement for 15 minutes. Next, a family came up to the Flashpass entry and asked the crew member how long the wait was. He told them 15 minutes from here, which if you know how much longer the line is inside, you know thats inaccurate. I left the line, but not before warning the guests they would be waiting much more than 15 minutes. Now, there may have been maintenance issues that slowed the line that day but giving guests an obviously inaccurate expectation is poor customer service.

Fantastic indoor roller coaster. Think Flight of Fear but smoother and less aggressive. It s a little toasty in the roller coaster part of the building on a hot day but the cue is air conditioned. There s a single rider line too. The ride ops were doing a great job of getting people in and out fast.

This ride is a great dark rollercoaster. It goes at 40 Mph and has 4 drops giving some good whip and airtime especially in the back car. The signature element of this ride is the one steep twisty drop that gives a combination of good airtime, laterals, g forces, and whip. Then the helixes give good forces. And all of this takes place in the dark. I m gonna rate this ride an 8 out of 10 I just wish all the drops were steep and it s just not perfect but it s good. Overall I recommend this ride.

This is much better than space mountain from Disney in terms of the ride, but its pitch black, add some led lights here and there and it would be a 10/10 ride

Please allow me to start by saying, I am an adrenaline junkie. If youre just coming to enjoy your time with family or children, this could potentially be a great choice for you. Its been 10 years since riding this coaster. I chose the fast pass tonight as a part of my membership perks. I didnt have to wait in a line, one two people in front of me. This visit I was solo so I got to enjoy the first row to myself. Ive got to say, Im not sure why but this ride used to get heart racing. The waiting in line through a cave, riding through the dark indoors, this year the addition of Christmas music and a few lights, Im not sure why... but I will not find myself running towards this one anymore. Its over pretty quickly and though it feels like youre riding nearly on your side for some turns, overall this ride is lacking for me.

Very fun and very (for most) scary. A Roller coaster indoors creates a really bizarre impact on your mind and it even though the light ride is not that long, it is a true thrill ride. I did lose a very nice Panama hat on the ride but I blame myself Don t have your phone or anything out or you will lose it. Turns and wild darts. It has a rather long line usually, so definitely do a fast pass if available. Our 7 year old really wanted to ride it and had a very scary fun time, she was scared by the ride but talks about it all the time be age aware with kids.

One of my favorite rides in the park! Very exhilarating when you have no idea what is coming. The only sad part seems to be the ride breaks down a lot or is flooded often which is such a shame. Regardless, ride in the back for intensity and ride up front for some fun pops of ejector air after the first little drop. (:

Fun rollercoaster, great theming in the queue, but way too short of a ride (lasts around a minute) for a line stretching outside of the tunnel.
