Its got Character, thats for sure. With the ballpark alongside, the Skyliner is ideally located within Lakemont - heck, it even gets in on the spirit of the thing, with the words "GO CURVE" painted along the vintage trains side. As for the ride itself, I was pleasantly surprised - its what Id call a classic example of a darned good woodie. Bits of good airtime, some nice speedy moments, great dips and it gives a suitably long ride. The station is pretty sweet, as well - vintage wooden setup, with incandescent lamps that start there, and run along the coaster hills (I really wish I had been able to ride this thing at night). Attractive, fast, surprisingly fun to ride - this ones a keeper, to be sure.
