Bit scary. The queue for VQ that time was 10 minutes but it ended up being half an hour.

This is hands down way better than USS Singapore Transformers. Apart from the briefing from the host, everything is an adrenaline rush from the moment the seat lifted up.

This was the first ride we saw when we entered the theme park since it was right beside the entrance. The internal design of the walkway was very futuristic, and the whole ride experience was really fun. I liked how it gave the feeling of flying in an aircraft and swinging around in different directions. We were lucky because we visited early, so we were among the first batch of customers to enter the ride, and there was almost no waiting time.

Interesting ride, 6 dimensional ride, good experience, can take many people per ride.
