Thoughts: This ride is huge! The slow ascent up the lift hill is nerve-wracking. Going upside down on a wooden coaster is an odd experience, but fun. It is very rough and the lap restraint bars are not comfortable. It is definitely one amazing coaster! 2008 -- Taking the loop out was kind of a disappointment because it was a neat feature for a wooden coaster. The lap restraits have been changed, which I really like. The ride is still really rough. |
