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

Fun, but yeah. Headbanging is indeed a big problem. A shame, but, eh. I enjoyed it last time I went on it. But you do, definitely, need to remember to try to keep your head level and not let it whiplash you too much, lest you end up with a bump. - LG Mills

This is a good ride and over the water is nice. But I would have to agree with other readers that this ride is not smooth enough for today's metal coasters might be time to retire it and bring on something new. Headbanging is certainly a feature of this ride. - Kris Peerman

There is way more pain than thrill to Anaconda. Should go the way of Drachen Fire (BGE), for the same reasons. Anaconda's location would be super for KD's next big coaster. - Peter Stephens

probably one of my least favorite coasters in the park.. it bangs my head up everytime i ride it, and its a bit boring to me.. the only good part i think is the drop after the lift. - Doucheon Mandick
