Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure

Then in terms of smoothness, the tracking is good.

...but I was also relating to him, those sharp turns and spinning would launch me against the wall of cart and it would hurt, then at the end im spinning 50 times and dizzy while flying down it.

Painful. I love it.

Jonny King

This is by far the craziest wild mouse coaster in the world just because of how much it spins.

hello

The seats are a little uncomfortable, but JESUS CHRIST that was intense.

symical coaster

So I had no idea how FUCKING INTENSE it would be at SFGAdv.

Danielle Pluzsik

But it’s still a worthy wild mouse ride and definitely more intense than most.

@josephmoore5949

I rode this 3 times, the title describes the ride perfectly; RELENTLESS!

@TylerPCoyne

Other than the spinning throwing you around sometimes (in a good way) and obviously capacity, this is an amazing ride.

hello

Overall, I don’t think this addition was worth it and the capacity is atrocious.

it was kinda fun only because my buddy was screaming, but I was also relating to him, those sharp turns and spinning would launch me against the wall of cart and it would hurt, then at the end im spinning 50 times and dizzy while flying down it.

shawn, Captain Coaster review

The ride spun way more than it did as Ragin’ Cajun and was just a blast to ride.

Keystone Coasters, Captain Coaster review

This is by far the craziest wild mouse coaster in the world just because of how much it spins.
