This is a great coaster to watch from the line along the water, however the ride itself isnt that great to ride. It starts out well with a pretty tall lift hill that ends abruptly and dips hard and sharp to the right. You go into a neat little tunnel and pop out into a good size loop. After the loop, you head into a another decent manuever called the sidewinder. It is like an older version of an Immelman. These first two elements are very smooth and solid and then the riding fun just disentegrates after the brake run. This coaster is so rough and at one point I hit my neck so hard against the restraint that I thought I broke my neck. The corkscrews are painful (but interesting over the water) and the the ride is done. I have never been on such a Jeckyll and Hyde coaster. The first half is near perfect, but the second is just terrible. Which is too bad, because it has an awesome setting over the water and among the trees. That is all wasted however and the ride just doesnt deliver.
