Ride Evaluation
Upon sight, Full Throttle sands out to the Skyline thanks to 2nd Tallest vertical loop in the world featured on this ride. Waiting isn't too bad on the summer days, But depending on how efficient the staff is, the average wait time on an average day can be around 30-40 minutes. But As I managed to to ride this coaster many times, the loop is the best part of the ride. And talk about inverted hang time! The cool thing is that Full Throttle takes full advantage of the hill terrain as you stop on a second launch section and shoot out backwards halfway up the dive drop inversion. As you launch forwards and soar over the "Top Hat" element you get a brief view of the park, but you go Flying out of your seat on the way down followed by the final brakes.
Overall the ride is very smooth and very fun. But the best part is that the popularity seams to come later around 6pm so day rides are more efficient on your park visit.
