TTP Review:

Zodiac is an Enterprise wheel, located in Lost City. Riders sit either individually or in twos in individual carriages which are affixed to the side of the wheel. There are no restraints to keep you in your seat, which makes you feel very vunerable. The wheel starts to rotate and the arm supporting the wheel rises, until the wheel is perpendicular to the ground. You are now riding upside down in your carriage. The centrifugal force keeps you tight in your seat, which is quite a feeling. There is no need for a restraint!

Zodiac is a good ride because it makes you feel quite insecure. As with all Theme Park rides, it is actually very safe, but you can't but help feel daunted by it. It's a good ride for couples, or for a parent and child to ride together. However, it is not that scary, or thrilling. It's a sensation, which just makes you dizzy.
