The Blade is a swinging
ship ride, the ride based next to the entrance of Forbidden Valley works
well in this area alongside the mighty Nemesis and the inverting Ripsaw. The
Boat itself takes about 6 or 7 swings to reach a vertical position which
gives a weightless feel. Those people who want a more calm ride sit in the
middle where as the more daring sit on the outer seats facing the middle for
a more exciting ride. There is rarely a long queue as the ship seats 45
people, but you may have to wait if you want a back seat.
