About Evel Knievel

Added in 2008, the park's third wooden roller coaster is from Great Coasters International, Inc. It's twisting layout and high speed thrills are designed to be a tribute to the ultimate motorcycle daredevil. -- Last edited by James Rao

Another outstanding ride by GCI! Really smooth, and an exceptional ride anywhere! Best seats are very front and very back, but it really doesn't matter on this coaster! :) still, front is pretty cool. The little bunny hops close to the end could have more airtime, but still has a lot! Oh, make sure you don't click in your restraint too tight... - Eli Katzman

This GCI wooden coaster is excellent. While short and compact, Evel is relentless and fun, the best ride in the park. - James Rao
