Backlot Stunt Coaster is a very good first ride for someone. This ride is smooth and enjoyable for all ages. Get ready because when the barrell catches fire it gets hot in the seat. Enjoy. - Darrell Weaver

I enjoyed this ride greatly although the pause in the middle is cheasy. The launch is fun, the helix is great and the best part is in the pitch black. Very good ride. - Michael Hurley

I think this is a fun ride! - Adam Clinard

Much, much better than it's Paramount version. Cedar Fair shortened the ride and made it a bit more intense, worth a mild wait - Byron Smith

the launch and then the spiral are great....the rest not so great and lines are WAY too long - Glenn Sims

Nice little (short) coaster, with extraordinary theming for a regional park. We liked it, and would ride it over and over again. - Larry Zimmerman

Although its short ride-time causes many negative rankings, the ride itself is a great family attraction. The shooting-helicopter scene is also an accomplishment for a seasonl amusement park- guests are surrounded in an eruption of fire and water. If the line is short, riding the attraction is a must. - Ty Mullins

a surprisingly very good ride - Brandon S
