Beluga

Amazing! Everything about it would make a Parrothead proud! I love the way the whole place is themed, and the white sand felt good in my aquasocks (I don't like wearing flip-flops, nor hurrachaes...) I like the entryway arch doubling as the RMC's combination lift hill and over/under tracking...Nice job on that! I wasn't ready to ride the "Big B" just yet, so i shuffled on over to the Pendulum (I don't remember what they're called in real life), and then I thought I'd take in the overall picture on the StratoWheel... Very impressed with what I saw! Didn't stop for a sub, nor a Rocketburger, 'cos my stomach was already in knots from the Pendulum, and it was getting dark, so it was time for the Beluga itself...Like the turnstiles, especially the portion right under the lift hill, and walked up to the queue... Lucky for me, I had a validated "Triple Play" ticket, BUT I could only redeem it if I rode three different seats on the train, so it was front, middle, and back... I love the color assignment and the lighting on the entire ride...Good thing I waited 'til dark...As for the ride quality itself, there's everything an RMC enthusiast can and will expect...Excellent first drop, nice lifts and airtime and turns as the track winds it way back to the underside of the Big Arch... More turns, airtime, and the characteristic RMC heartline twirls, and then back to the station, pretty much covering the entire perimeter of the park... I'm not sure if NL simulates the "whiparound" feel you get in real life by riding in the rear seat, especially on an RMC or even an old Philly T, but it sure felt like it! Five stars here!
