Can anyone that has actually ridden the 2015 ozone frenzy give feedback?

I have mine on order so I will post once I get them in Utah. It looks like some really good changes have been made to the Frenzy this year.

I just got a hold of 2015 Frenzy's. I had a chance to fly the kite, but not really ride it. It handles nice and turns sharper than the old frenzy right off. It has plastic rods supporting the leading edge and I'd say they improve the stability in flight. Those rods also held the cells open to accept airflow to help inflate the kite when it's on the ground.
I tried the re-ride system as well. It was weird since I've never seen it before, but in practice it seemed to work perfectly as far as I can tell. The center line travels up into the kite and scrunches up the kite from the middle. The old kites flapped around and tangled often when you used the center line to flag or land in strong wind, but the re-ride may have solved that problem. I tried it about 5 times and had it come out clean every time. I'll try to take a few shots here in the next day or 2, maybe a quick vid too. I really want to try the re-ride in super strong wind. That will be a good test.
Cheers!

I've now ridden the 2015 Frenzy in all sorts of conditions in the last few days along with the new Summit. It's a great kite and still has the flying characteristics the original Frenzy had. It's a slower turn with more grunt than the Summit series, but the plastic rods in the leading edge and different shape definitely make it feel more stable. We were amazed at how stable it was really. That's the first thing we all said after flying it was about how stable it was. We could let go of the bar and let it fly by itself, even at the edge of the window like when you self launch a tube. The 7m would go from a turn to a flat spin a little suddenly at first, but when I was used to it I enjoy the ability to flat spin in tight spots. I flew the 7m in some crazy gusty winds and it handled like a champ. I think the 7m light version is going to be my extra kite for strong winds for the season. It unhooked well, and the cells fill faster now that they're not covered with mesh, and the spars in the leading edge hold them open to accept air, on the ground handling is definitely great. The reride we've already tested, but keeps working great.
Hope this helps!
