Performance

Vs. other coasters at Michigan's Adventure

In the back car we got a decent hit of airtime on the first drop and the corkscrew was fun with zero headbanging for us.

Chris Frechette

Actually pretty good for an Arrow Corkscrew - the airtime off the drop wasn’t bad, I didn’t find the layout rough, and it’s a surprisingly good time, but at the end of the day, it’s still an Arrow...

Justin Lininger

You hit a drop which actually gives some good airtime in the back row.

Coaster Paradise

The entire duration of the ride is just headbanging, headbanging, and more headbanging.

Brendan B.

It’s rough and hurts like hell.

Incredible Coasters

Because they were only running one train, the line was quite slow.

Too shortLong waitsHead bangingOverratedWeak layout

Actually pretty good for an Arrow Corkscrew - the airtime off the drop wasn’t bad, I didn’t find the layout rough, and it’s a surprisingly good time, but at the end of the day, it’s still an Arrow Corkscrew - it can only get you so much.

Justin Lininger, Captain Coaster review

The bulky harnesses ruin the entire ride, which had no layout in the first place.

Brendan B., Captain Coaster review

Because they were only running one train, the line was quite slow.

Colton Burns, Captain Coaster review

It’s rough, janky, and has bad headbanging that you can’t prevent.

Silver Thunderbolt, Captain Coaster review

This is a janky, short ride with very uncomfortable restraints.

Chris Frechette, Captain Coaster review

I loved this ride it was fun still scared of the wild thing any advice
