The world's first rollercoaster at sea has officially opened to thrill-seekers, and judging by new point-of-view (POV) videos shared by riders, it looks ridiculously fun.
BOLT is the first - and therefore fastest - rollercoaster at sea, and it's located on Carnival Cruise Line's brand new cruise ship Mardi Gras, currently sailing on her maiden voyage.
Passengers get to ride motorcycle-esque vehicles that are propelled around the open-air track, sitting 187 feet above sea level.
For those brave enough to keep their eyes open, that means some seriously cool 360 degree views of the ship's top deck and the ocean below.
One particularly cool feature is that riders themselves get to control the speed at which they ride. It's worth noting that the ride reaches speeds of up to 40 miles per hour (it is on the deck of a cruise ship after all) but we reckon it'll feel much faster considering how high above the ocean you're sat.
There's a competitive element too, as your speeds will be posted on a board after a race. Basically, the perfect excuse to try and beat your family and friends' times.
Until now we've mainly seen CGI renderings of the ride, which was built by Munich-based company Maurer Rides.
However, now that Mardi Gras is sailing on her maiden voyage, the rollercoaster is fully open, and riders have offered POV sneak peeks at just what you can expect when you take on the track.
As you zoom around the ride, you'll pass the pools, playgrounds and top deck seating areas, not to mention there are views of the ocean or, when the ship is docked, the surrounding landscape (in the POV video you can spot some pretty spectacular looking beaches).
Basically, there's a reason it's one of our top picks of epic things you can do on cruise ships (a list which also includes go-karting and skydiving).
You can find out more about the ship on Carnival.com.
Unfortunately, Brits are going to have to wait a while longer before they can check it out for themselves.
That's because Mardi Gras is homeporting in Port Canaveral, Florida, and at the time of writing the USA continues to keep its borders closed to Brits. (There are a handful of exemptions, but a holiday won't be one of them).
Still, if you're missing cruise holidays, the good news is that there are plenty of options on offer this summer.
For a start, a number of cruise lines are offering UK sailings including the likes of Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and P&O Cruises, which include itineraries around the British Isles, and access to all the usual onboard entertainment from the buffet restaurants to the live shows and water parks. (Seriously, there are some brilliant cruise water parks on offer this summer).
There is hope for those hoping to head abroad too, as international cruises from England have been allowed to resume as of August.
Currently most cruise lines are still sticking to UK sailings for the summer, but some are planning to resume cruises abroad later this year. For example, TUI's Marella Cruises has shared plans to restart fly-cruises in September from Corfu including Greek islands such as Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes and Crete, while Saga has announced plans to restart international cruises from October on board new ship Spirit of Adventure.
