Great Oldie. The only problem is that now in '09, it got much rougher than it was last year. In '08, you could ride it over and over again if there was no line and it would still be fun. Now, you can't ride it 3 times in a row! This exact thing happened to Roar. - Eli Katzman My favorite woodie until I rode the Beast at Kings Island. Most people don't know this but the original version of this ride was built in around 1917 in Hull, Massachusetts. Which makes this coaster one of the oldest in the USA. - Will Chilcote
