The buildings in Tech Valley were a joy to look at - curves and harsh walls all combined to form globular, entirely individual entities. Each building had the same flashes of colour that the entrance building had, except that the glass in each varied in colour, adding a touch of unpredictability. Hiding at the back of the area was 'Defect Valley', and it seems that the architect had really let his hair down - the buildings became even more adventurous, and the flat rides held eccentric (and slightly disconcerting) names like 'Malfunction' and 'Error'!

Having said I was prepared for anything, seeing the imposing structure of 'Rush', the aforementioned giga, in the distance would be enough to turn anyone's stomach. Wrapping itself snake-like around the corner of the map, the pencil-thin supports seemed to be suspending the track with minimum effort, as if the track itself could levitate if it really felt like it. The approach to the station was made such that all prospective riders had to first walk underneath the whole coaster, taking in the sheer enormity of each rise and fall. Finally reaching the station, I took my seat at the back of the red-coloured train.  Leaving the station, the chain kicked in and I was pulled up the lift at an alarming 20mph. This left little time for taking in the surroundings, but the view was indeed astonishing - I swear I could see my hotel room from the top. Ah yes, the top. 200ft up in the air with nowhere else to go but down. The train reached nearly 80mph before whipping around a 180 degree turn and back up another immense hill. The next couple of camel humps took the train swooping over the water at the centre of the park, before going back underneath the main structure, through a couple of helixes and executing a series of bumps parallel to the lift hill. A quick turn around, partly enclosed by the area's entrance building, led into even more hills - all adding to the ride's 13 seconds of air time. A final plunge through the station building and into some tight helixes finished the ride, and I got out of the train feeling at once exhilarated and nauseous. This was certainly a ride to remember.
