The setting for this ride is perfect: nestled deep in the woods away from pretty much all civilization. The air is great, the laterals are great, the near-misses with the trees are superb. It, along with Volcano, are really the only arguably world-class coasters that PKD owns in my opinion. I am really anxious to ride it again after this years retracking to see if it is ruined or if its even better 
EDIT: I had to update my rating of this after my last 3 rides this past Tuesday. I dont know if I caught it on a very good day or what, but Grizzly definitely proved to be Top 10 material. Now many people who have ridden this coaster complain that it is far too rough and is uncomfortable, and I wouldve agreed with them up until Tuesday, but having just ridden Hurricane at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion a few weeks ago, it has become clear to me how good the Grizzly actually is. I was even forced to push Volcano out of my Top 10...it was just that good. I have a newly-found love for this ride, and a new #10 coaster
