Ill be honest, when I first rode this coaster around 1130 in the morning (local time), I was sorely dissapointed. Rode it in the back seat and I was just left in pain and feeling very bad after the ride (and Im someone who likes to get my *ss kicked on wooden coasters). I pretty much summed up the problems with the ride in the words "lack of PTC trains." However, later in the day I decided to give it another go or two. Grabbed a couple more rides, including one in the front seat, and it was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RIDE and one of the best ones Ive ever had. The front seat ride was phenomenal, my friend was terrified for half the ride (which is a rarity anymore with most coasters), and I got off feeling as though this was truly one of the greatest woodies Ive ever encountered. Great speeds, nice terrain, couple shots of airtime, and lots of surprises add up to a very good wooden coaster. Lacks the overall power/presence of THE BEAST or the unlimited airtime of coasters like THE CORNBALL EXPRESS or THE RAVEN, but this is a very very very very solid ride. This is definitely on my TOP 5 list of wooden roller coasters.
