What were your queue times like?
I went on it about 2.5 weeks ago, we had a 2 day ticket with ERA on the Monday. The Sunday had consistent queue times of at least 3 hours plus, so we never bothered attempting to queue. But Monday with early ride access we figured we'd at least be near the front of the queue. We were queuing behind i reckon 200 people 45 minutes before the park officially opened. They spent about an hour doing pre-ride checks and when they let the first batch of people on, the bloody thing broke down. Cue another 45 mins of checks before they started to let people on it again.
I think we'd queued for close to 2.5 hours before we were even able to get on, it kind of soured the experience a little bit. Frankly if they know the pre-ride checks take a while, then god knows why they're not starting them at 8am, so that extensive pre-ride checks are completed before the park even opens.
My advice for anyone going over the summer/warm months, if the queue times aren't any longer than the other coasters, then go for it. Otherwise you'll end up spending half your day queueing for a single coaster.
