Performance

Vs. other coasters at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park

Not nearly as herky-jerky as most of these types of coasters.

Brian Sheldon

its only when you relize your in danger that you need to go through an eejinika type saftey proticol for this janky coaster.

Chummy chimp

It is pretty rough though, and some of the support beams are REALLY tight.

BingoDingo

Some good, fast turns.

BingoDingo

The part where it slows down and then drops and turns 180° was super surprising and fun.

Gavin
Airtime

It goes over the edge of the cliff multiple times and has some surprising drops and small pops of airtime.

Gavin

There are so many moments where you’re like, “Holy crap, am I gonna hit the track?” Didn’t really have any airtime and good drops.

Great views

Not nearly as herky-jerky as most of these types of coasters.

Brian Sheldon, Captain Coaster review

That being said, it’s also a lot of fun, even as you feel like it could fall apart at any moment.

Tobin Billings, Captain Coaster review

This ride is perfect, being on the edge of death the entire time is thrilling.

Chummy chimp, Captain Coaster review

I thought it was a fun little ride, and the views of the mountains were great.

BingoDingo, Captain Coaster review

I was scared to go on it because I’m a teeny bit scared of coasters, but this one was super fun!

@sahlo21folinaa, review

Small but it packs a punch, the scenery now that’s it’s been moved is gorgeous!
