But riding over comparatively mild hills and spirals, they're largely inoffensive.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm a helix fetishist, but I do enjoy them a lot, perhaps more than the average coaster enthusiast. So when you throw 900 degrees of helix at me, I'm a happy camper.
I like the way they look and I like the way they ride. Can't really explain it, I just do. Maybe it's their geometric elegance.
Or some deep-seated sexual thing. Which I won't dwell on any further.
After a quick sprint away from that first sensuous, wanton twirl of steel, you head right into the second multi-level spiral, which is "only" 540 degrees, spinning in the opposite direction. All together, that is a ton of hot, sweaty helix action for one coaster. Good times.
Had our schedule allowed, I would have gone back for a second run. And that is something I haven't said about a Togo coaster in years.
The only thing at Sea Paradise I did ride twice was Blue Fall. Going in, that was not a definite plan. But with some peer pressure, I managed to find the backbone and we did the "false drop" option first, just to get it the eff over with.
Now, whether you ride Blue Fall or go up in the observation tower, I do recommend getting an elevated view of the bay and its surroundings. It's pretty. And there's nothing else very tall anywhere nearby, so you can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. |
