this ride is awesome i can go on all day but it gives me uncomfortable butterflies in my stomach :0 but its still a great ride that Knotts often ignores in their commercials. - isaiah mercado

A truely unique riding experience, only looping coaster I have ever been one that has lap bars and belts instead of shoulder harnesses. - Thomas Furlong

When I first saw this ride, I was truly scared to go on it. I was a kid back then but now love this ride, though short in duration. Once the ride launches, you are shot through the loop, up and backwards back through the loop, past the loading station, back up and slowing down to the loading station. I should have gone it when I was in my teens but now that I have gone on in 2009, it wasn't that bad. Still a good thrill ride for its speed. - D.S. Francisco

I have been on this ride more times than I can count. I first rode it in the 80's when it opened. The most recent was 1/28/2010. It seems alot more rough than before. I think they nee to replace the rollers and do some maintenance. Still a good ride though. One of the first to offer powered launch system. - Ronald Hayes

Truly a classic for the ages, I love this simple ride with no lines and a very big loop de loop. - Jack Borgeson
