The Detonator was so scary and nervracking on the way up. To make it even better it stopped for 10-20 seconds leaving us unready for when it was going to drop. Then suddenly I heard the bar drop and the next thing I knew we were on the floor. I did not even know it had finished! When I came off a man in the queue told me I looked like a ghost!
