Readers' rating:

Drop? more like a 30 degree inclkine - Steven D

It was really fun! I love the first drop and all the loops. Yeah, it is a bit jerky but it is really fun. - Jaret Reveille

I really should've rode this one on my visit. Perhaps I'll get to next time if they don't do away w/it first before I get a chance. - Adrienne McDonald

*ouch* This is a steel coaster? This is an Arrow Dynamics invention? - Jean Seo-Park

Not a horrible ride. a little on the bumpy side and it gives me a headache each time I ride it, but the line goes really fast. - Justin Curtis

The initial drop, tunnel, and loops are a lot of fun, however the MCBR is devastating and severely limits the fun factor on the second half of the course. - James Rao

Although this was my first looper, it hurts like you know what and I don't think I've ridden it since the middle of last season. - Chase Gray

One word...OUCH. It doesn't deserve to have the same rating as Intimidator 305. - Penelope Newman

this rides is terrible, it jerks, the hill is not really all that fun, it reminds me of ninja at six flags over georgia... - bryan shepard

As with most Ron Toomer loopers, I expected to be beat up by Anaconda. I experienced a surprisingly pain-free ride aside from a little hiccup in the track. Not one of the greatest coasters I've been on, but I enjoyed it more than I ever thought I would. - Erin B

6.5- 7- out of 10 Not the best ride around ; however, can be quite fun espically the last seat! It can hurt, but I don't think its so bad. I wouldnt wait more than 15 misn for this ride. Good ride though - Jason Skaggs

Not bad for another rough coaster from Arrow. I like the first couple inversions, because it's kinda slow, and not rough. also, the dive into the tunnel on the first drop is nice, not "intense", because it's a 50 degree angle or something... anyway, after the sidewinder inversion, it starts to get pretty rough... but at the end, the 2 corkscrews help make up for the lack of smoothness, but not quite. - Eli Katzman
