A really fun GCI creation. Not sure what they say that it is clocked at... I think only around 40 to 50 mph, but the Cat seems like it runs much faster. Like most GCI coasters, I dont think there is any straight track on the thing (aside from the lift hill and final break run), Its just one trick after another. It lacks a little in the ".big drop". department, and even the first drop is not that ".breathtaking"., but after that it rips lose with a burst of speed that doesnt end until you hit the breaks. Recomendation: For all.
UPDATE: 11/3/2008 Last year I stated how the new Melinium Flyer Trains didn'.t make that much of a difference when it came to roughness. Rode this most recently on Oct 31 at Hersheypark in the Dark. Something different. While still an agressive coaster, it was not painfully rough. As a matter of fact, the three rides I had on this night were probably the three most fun rides I have ever had on this coaster. Does it run better in cool temps? Or did they replace the old square wheels with round ones?
