Rebel Yell

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About Rebel Yell

An old school, Philadelphia Toboggan Company, out-and-back, racing wooden roller coaster. In the 1990s, one train was turned around so that one track of the Rebel Yell would run with riders facing forward, whereas the other track had riders facing backward. However, in 2008 both trains were reverted to running forward only. -- Last edited by James Rao

Love this coaster. One of the first coaster, I had rode. I have probably ridden it at least 100 times. They very seldom race the coaster any more. It takes away a little of the run of the ride. - Will Chilcote

Last time I rode it, it was when it had the backwards train for blue, and that was amazing! But, Cedar fair switched the train back, for some reason. My brother went earlier this year, and he said that the red (the original forwards) is much smoother than the blue. So, I would go with what he says! ----Update---- When I went, there was only one side running (blue), and only one train, at that! It wasn't too rough, but still, of course, it wasn't smooth! - Eli Katzman

One of my most favorite wooden roller coasters. King's Dominion has several wood coasters that are fun, and RY is one of my most favorites. It's since been usurped by rides like Gemini at CP and the Grizzly, but it's still got a special place in my heart. Plenty of speed and an out-of-control feel. I dunno if the reverser train has been removed permanently, or just temporarily for some reason, but I hope they bring it back. - LG Mills
