I absolutely loved this one. Built in the mid 60s (and rebuilt, according to rcdb, in the early 90s after some damage, so I dont know how different it is), this one looked like a very tame out and back wood coaster. Tame is far from an accurate description. My first ride took place in the back seat, and I was shocked by the ejector airtime that this thing provided on absolutely each and every hill. It was almost too much, as we got launched from our seat and smacked into the lap bar every time. There were some nice large hills, as well as some fiendish little hops that catapulted us just the same. The front seat provided a different kind of airtime, as it felt like we got launched at the bottom of the hills this way (dont even ask me how that works). This was super fun too, though I spent most of my rides in the back, as I feel that it provided the best rush. It was pretty brutal, but very entertainingly brutal. I actually preferred the Swamp Fox to the Hurricane down the street at the Pavilion. It was kept up very nicely for being in a park that didnt appear to be extremely popular.
