This coaster is pure insanity. As crazy a ride as the Coney Island Cyclone and thats not blasphemy. You look at this thing and snicker to yourself "how good can this really be?" The track is two laps around the boundary of the park (a miniature golf course, log flume and bumper boats). The lift hill is only 88 feet high and the train consists of three PTC cars for a total of 12 passengers. This thing looks like a joke.
The loading is quick and then the train is up the unassuming lift hill. Then the insanity starts.
A steep drop, air on every hill, bunny hop, scoots under a billboard advertising a Mexican restaurant, furious speed through overbanked turns galore. This is one utterly out of control ride and one where you really imagine the train having a mind of its own and obeying the laws of centrifugal by flying right off the tracks on turn 3 and right into the parking lot of the Mexican restaurant.
Thoroughly reridable and the unlimited wristband helps. It tosses you around but not in a painful way. I got fifteen rides in over 70 minutes starting at 8:15PM. The 5:30 to close wristband is only $13.99. Single train operation (no room for a second train) and never had to wait more than one 2 minute circuit to ride.
This must be experienced over and over again, especially from the back seat.
I wonder if the designers,builders or Timber Falls had any idea of how good this coaster was going to be.
