A fun ride, but not thrilling; it wasnt designed to be(the Aeroplane WAS.) A true "family coaster" in every sense of the word. I agree with earlier posts that if the original Prior & Church trains were still run (or modern replicas thereof) this ride would rate higher. There are still some really interesting features though: track at one point briefly stacked four (!) high, flanged top wheels, a long curving station with manually operated skid brakes, and a really long, complicated layout. Its funny to watch this ride in action in "Fatal Attraction"; it looks so much more intense then it was designed to be. Maybe someday, Rye will rebuild the Aeroplane and well be able to experience Fred Churchs real masterpiece.
