Roughest coaster I've ever rode. Couldn't wait for it to be over. Mean Streak is better. Intensity: 8.5 - Will Gibson

The mean streak at cedar point was as good as gold but this is like a kiddy ride compared to an awesome ride like mean streak. The only in tense part is the curve drop after the first frop - Steven D

I put mediocre due to the very slow helix in the middle of the ride plus the 'back & forth' feel in the helix that's supposed to resemble a rattlesnake rattle shaking. First time I rode it, I thought it was going to jump the track but then I found out it was supposed to do that. For some reason the ride operators seem to think that a HARD stop at the end is necessary. It is not necessary to give everyone whiplash at the end of the ride w/that sudden stop but other than that it's an okay ride, just keep in mind the slow helix & the 'jumping off the track feel' you get inside the helix. The rest of the ride is actually pretty good. - Adrienne McDonald
