Excalibur can be explained in two words in my opinion and here they are: Short, and Scary! The rides first drop of 105 ft is very rough and I love the feeling of the 4 gs or so pushing down on you. The is one of the most intense drops I have ever been on, steel or wood. The gs are in excess the whole ride. The only major drawback to the ride is its length. The ride is about 45 seconds long which cuts out on its fun factor. If the ride was say, as long as The Beast. Well if it continued its intensity throughout the ride then it would be an easy 10. I love roughness in a ride and thats why Excalibur gets a 7 and nothing less. If it were longer and built better than it would have an even better score. But Excalibur is my second favorite ride at Valleyfair only behind Steel Venom.
