Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About Jaguar

There's no main drop on this coaster, just a gradual descent that picks up pretty decent speed around several loops and curves.It is a great ride and it is a little shaky because it is kind of old. On the other hand,it is a long ride. There are tight corner that add thrill to this ride. -- Last edited by A.J. Hawkey

Jaguar may not be up there with the bigger cats of the coaster world but it has enough elements to make it enjoyable. The theming is pretty good and it's certainly longer than a lot of rides of this type. All in all Jaguar purrs rather than roars but it's good fun nonetheless. - Rob P

-25/10 my least fav coaster that ive ever ridden!!!!! rough and stupid and never a line! i wonder why?!?!? - Corey Nelson

Great for children, but its not too boring - Kathryn Bonner

A great family coaster. Gentle enough for the kids, but not a total snooze-fest either. - Josh Bishop

It's a fun little coaster for younger kids or people who dont like big coasters. - Chloe !

8/10 This is a great ride for roller coaster "beginners", but my best friend got sick from it. - Jack Borgeson

It is a fun family coaster. - Erik Cobbs

Pretty decent "gentle" coaster. Great views, and it actually lets you take a slightly scenic view of the area of the park. A good coaster to take the "scaredy cats" on, but not great for enthusiasts & fanatics. - Brandon Mendoza

A traditional scenic family coaster, this one gives you a nice, not too fast tour of its section of the park. Adrenalin junkies definitely need not apply for entrance to this tame little kitty of a coaster. I would say it's all growl and no bite, but this pussycat barely purrs! Still, it's a pleasant and breezy little ride on a hot day, and the perfect intermediate coaster to introduce the kids to bigger machines without scaring them away. I rated it only "Fair" because, though it does what it does perfectly well, I just wish they'd had the cajones to make it do a little bit MORE! I mean, an extra ten-or-so miles an hour and a little semi-serious airtime wouldn't have exactly disqualified it from the "family" category, would it? - Paul Clemens

Jason Kelly, get a life. This ride was one of my favorites when i was under 4 feet. - James Brazil

Sucks long wait for this piece of crap bt going through the loop is a nice touch still they really need to scrap it. - Jason Kelly

A good junior coaster with a little theme at least in the queue. Much better than the pathetic Montezuma, though the track through its loop was fun. - Kyawt Tin

The coaster is quite long, but that's the only unique factor of the ride. I also like the fact that it passes the loop of Montezooma's. It'd quite rough for a junior coaster. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

An OK family coaster--thrilling enough for young riders and still enjoyable for their parents. Passing through the loop of Montezooma's Revenge is a nice touch. - Chuck Campbell
