Time Warp Review
We're here at Canada's Wonderland. For today's ride, we'll be traveling back in time to review Time Warp. The park's Volare. After waiting in a long line, you then walked up and saw the way you loaded It was a very bizzare way to load. The cars were tilted and you simply climbed in the cars and sort of stood up, only at a 45 degree angle. Then the ride operator pulled down the cage, locking you in. It felt very awkward to be in this position. Because as you can tell, it sort of felt like a prison when you are like this. After doing that, you then tilted into flying position. Then you went into the spiral lifthill. I have got to say that the spiral lifthill is one of the coolest lifthills on a rollercoaster. It just has a trippy and awkward feeling to it. But at the same time, it sort of has a feeling of impending doom to it. This particuarly applied to me as I thought that this ride was going to beat the living crap out of me since Top Gun turned out to be a HORRIBLE SLC and Wild Beast practically raped me, I thought I would get no mercy here. Then, we reached the top. We went through an S Curve, getting a good view of Top Gun. But we're just thinking of the impending doom that we're about to go through. Down the first drop, it felt like we were going dangerously fast because right after this, we were about to go through one of those ridicously tight turns we saw in the line. We embraced to be donkey kicked in our skulls, but suprisingly, we didn't even hit the sides. This was a nice plus. Perhaps this may be fun after all. But right after that, we went straight through an inline twist. And all I can say is this. Inline Twists on Volares are amazing. You get some crazy hang time as you suprisingly have enough room in your hamster cage to sort of float upsidedown and get some hangtime (Oh, and to those who don't consider inline twists on flying coasters to be inversions, I don't know what crack you are smoking, but I just have two things to say. #1: Stop smoking crack. It's not cool, and it'll kill you. #2: Go ride a Volare and then you'll realize "Oh wait, I'm upsidedown"). You then went through another tight turn before hitting a mid course brakes. Now the second turn had a little headbanging to it, but nothing that the hangtime in the inline twists didn't make up for. We then dropped again before going through another tight turn before going into another inline twist. YAY!!! More Hangtime!!! And we're upsidedown!!! =) We then went through a tight turn before going through another set of mid course brakes. So basically, we did everything that we did before the mid course brakes. After these next Mid Course brakes, we then went down another small drop before going through another tight turn. So basically, the last third of the ride was just like the first two thirds without the inline twists, only replaced with twisty bits. Then you headed into the brakes. I wouldn't really recommend it as while it was fun, it wasn't not exactly butter smooth on those turns, and the whole ride is really repetitive. I mean, the first two halfs are exact clones of each other. But I'm glad I rode it. And not just for credit whoring.
