This was a weak example of an already-weak genre of roller coasters. With a neme like "Accelerate" (get it, XLR-8 ), one would think there would be some acceleration but the ride is painfully slow and sluggish at best. This was the first successful suspended coaster (the Bat doesnt count ), but sadly, it will see its final days of operation next month. While its sad to see it go in a historical way, I am at least glad that XLR-8 wouldnt be passed down to another park as a "new coaster"/
