Reader reviews of Grizzly

Very, Very rough but it's amazing layout and great tunnel make it my 2nd favorite woodie after Screaming Eagle in Six Flags St Louis. Not painful just rough. 8/10 - Edward Morgan

* OUCH! * - Jean Seo-Park

Rough, but not painful, and still fun after all these years. - James Rao

The first time I rode this, it was raining! I still love Grizzly; it's my favorite wooden coaster. - Chase Gray

my second rollercoaster.i rode this when i was six or seven. - Tyler Bell

I hated Grizzly & that was disappointing. I always hold out some hope on woodies, hoping for a better experience than the one I've come to know on Mean Streak. The only thing that separated Grizzly from Mean Streak, in my opinion, was speed. Grizzly isn't trimmed as much, but I experienced just as much pain. My back hurt [the pain lasted into the next day] & I felt nauseous. - Erin B

8-10 Best Wooden coaster there One of the better Woodies around Its rough, but it wouldn't be the Grizzly w/o it! - Jason Skaggs

Actually not that bad, even though it has a slow start. Just wait till the end brake run to judge! But, KD could use a GCI... Still, I loved the intensity after the tunnel, and it had great surroundings. - Eli Katzman

One of my absolute top favorites in the series of woodies, and DEFINITELY the best woodie at KD. Everyone cites the through-the-woods thing as being its strength, and it really is, among the wild out of control feel and the heavy air-time. First time on, my little sister's friend tricked us into thinking this was a slow ride cuz we needed to wind down from some of the other heavy-hitters like XLC. ...I've never been happier at being tricked. - LG Mills

Another rough wood coaster that seriously needs some TLC. - Todd Houts
