    I love the ride and all, but I'm NEVER bringing my phone to it again! I set my phone in the red boxes, and hid it behind a girl/boys bag, and rode. we left or stuff there, exited, and came back. It was still there. (the girl/boys bag was gone, so i hid it to the side) We rode, and came back to find my phone gone. We asked staff what could have happened and what to do. They gave us a little ticket to find a lost item. We, (me, my sister and cousin) went to a few game staff, asking if they knew where the lost and found was. We went to go get our stamp, and went right to the lost and found. The nice lady said she didn't have any iphones at the time. And I understood, if someone found it they would probably be on their way to the lost and found! So we decided to go find my mom. She had my sister, and my little brother in snoopy land. We couldn't find them. We were looking around when a nice staff asked us if we needed anything. We just said, "I lost my phone on the racers, we were looking for my mom to tell her." Ofc, my cousin said it in her pov cause i was almost, but pretty much crying now. (She was so nice, I swear!) She asked a few questions, like if it was out to the public. We said yeah... cause it was. And she darn right said "Sh*t." right in front of us. (LMAO) So she said we could call my mom using her phone, (cause i didnt know my apple id for find my iphone) and we met at the entrance.. i was yelled at.. A lot. ;-; The end! Thanks if you have read this far. :> We did get my case back! It still had everything in it, including memories and important things. (My: gold pass, credit card, school pics, ect.)

    The blue side wasn't a bad ride until the bottom of the last airtime hill going up for the turnaround. I think I was still coming down as the train was going up for the turnaround and I got jolted pretty hard. Other than that, I don't think it rides bad at all for its age. The red side is a bit more pleasant than the blue side in my opinion.
