Captain’s Review

Highlights

  • waterfront location
  • exciting layout

Concerns

  • rough headbanging
  • painful ride
  • uncomfortable restraints
  • excessive rattling
  • causes headaches

The overwhelming majority of reviewers describe Infusion as a painfully rough Vekoma SLC that rattles, head‑bangs, and leaves riders with headaches and sore ears. A handful of riders acknowledge the coaster’s attractive water‑side setting and a solid, exciting layout with a strong first drop. Nonetheless, the discomfort and poor restraints dominate the sentiment, leading most to recommend skipping the ride unless you’re willing to endure the pain for the brief thrill.
