The so-called Queen of Speed is a state of the art launched roller coaster featuring tight turns and intense airtime hills. It is located within UG Land area, standing at 18 meters high and rocketing from 0 to 62mph in 2.5 seconds. This breathtaking ride pulls an incredible G-Force of 4.7 on launch and continues at an average speed of over 40mph! (Minimum Height: 1.4m)

I found this ride very dissapointing. the launch and ride as a whole contained little thrills when you compare to the other rides of its kind; even stealth has much to offer. Also i have never been on a launch coaster which is so rough We have a lonng way before we catch the americans for these type of rides; Kingda ka and Xcelerator destroy Rita and stealth.

So it's a great ride, don't doubt that, but the real excitment is in the launch.

You sit there once everyones strapped in, the light above the track turn on, they move from red to green then... you MOVE! with block capitals, yours up to sixty miles per hour by the end of the straight, with barely enough time to realise what happened. To get the best of the start you have to know before hand, so go twice.

The rest of the ride is great, but it doesn't drag out too long because the designers knew the early punch would wear of if it lasted too long.
