 Review of Corkscrew @ Cedar Point

Date Ridden: Every summer since 2006. Times Ridden: 6 Corkscrew, located at the Coaster Capitol of the World, is a classic. It was the first coaster in the world to contain three inversions and is among the most picturesque rides in the world with its two corkscrews directly over the main midway. It is very well taken care of with a dark blue color scheme and three trains which run virtually all the time. The three trains make this ride a virtual walk-on regardless of how crowded the park is. Alas, despite its positives, Corkscrew is a below average coaster. For some reason, the seats have a hump right at the neck which lead to a very painful ride. I don&#39.t think the ride has gotten rough just because of its age, I think it runs as well it did all those years ago. It simply runs the way it was built: not very comfortably. That being said, you simply have to ride this at least once any time you visit the Point. It is a classic and not to be missed despite its rough sections and uncomfortable seats. Diving over the midway within a few feet of the people walking by is great fun no matter when you ride. I have found that the middle of the train seems to be a little smoother than the very front and very back cars. Regardless of where you ride, just make sure to give the old girl a whirl. The ride time is only a little over a minute and it is worth it to say that you have ridden the first coaster in the world with three inversion. Overall Rating - 6
