As much as I hate New Englanders, I just had to make it up to Agawam to ride this beast. Let me start off by saying that this is my favorite steel coaster by far. That being said, New Englanders absolutely love this thing as I visited the park during 2000 and the rides line was absolute madness (2 1/2 hours)! Anyway, the ride did not disappoint and was actually worth the ridiculous wait. The first drop was incredibly intense and steep, as was the second drop. Following that was an intense overbanked turn and then came the rides highlight, the third and fourth hills. Never have I experienced such incredible air time in my entire life. Then came the "spaghetti bowl" finale which I actually really liked. The Gs in the helixes were exceptionally strong and the drops gave great air mixed with laterals. Absolutely incredible ride that actually brought me up to Red Sox country.
