Jasper,
1. No I didn't nor did I try to.
2. We arrived at around 4:30 AM on Thursday morning and left around 2 PM.
3. I rode it around 20-30 times and I still prefer the Frisbees.
Combat,
The only similarities I find in the two ride models are the swinging motion. Other than that, the two rides are very different. (Forces,Restraints, Feel. ETC)
