A CCI wooden coaster that is long and fast. It is also old beyond its years, jerky, and painful. It is worth a visit, but keep your Doan’s Back Ache medicine handy. - James Rao

My first time riding it was in '09, this year, and people have said that it was really rough before the retracking, which was during the '08-'09 winter offseason. Now, it's not rough at all. (Keep in mind I never rode anywhere near the back.) Ride this in the front! The speed and view is amazing there. It's one of the fastest woodies on earth! So try it there! It's also one of the longest, which was great! - Eli Katzman

Downgraded this to Good, as it just becomes more and more rough each year. But I understand it is being working on between the 2008 and 2009 seasons, so I'll re-evaluate in 2009. - Todd Houts
