Performance

Vs. other coasters at Valleyfair

I enjoyed the drop, airtime hill and loop.

Finn

It doesn’t really have any airtime.

Michael M.

Those are the only 2 arrow multi loopers with straight drops that I have ridden that have absolutely no back seat airtime.

@Bavanity

A generic arrow looper, although it is quite smooth compared to other arrow loopers!

Noxa Valleyfair goer

The head banging has been getting worse and worse and I fell like I have to play self defense just to stay comfortable in the car.

James Jenkins

Lots of head banging around the helix and corkscrews and while I do not find it as bad as others make it out to be it is definitely not a good thing either.

James J.

Its a fun little vertical loop that provides us with some decent positive Gs.

Incredible Coasters

Next is the highlight of the ride, the forceful vertical loop.

Noxa Valleyfair goer, Captain Coaster review

I really enjoy the drop in the backseat, the corkscrews, and loop but I really don’t enjoy how bumpy it is.

Gavin, Captain Coaster review

But for what it is, its a relatively fun ride that definetly seems to be maintained well and is MUCH better than similar Arrow Loopscrews.

Incredible Coasters, published review

Just another one of your bog standard Arrow Corkscrews, but this one has the corkscrew over a water feature; that pretty finale is the only thing that’s really a draw to the ride, creating another corkscrew that’s more fun to watch than ride.

Evangelion Martini, Captain Coaster review

Surprising amount of pull on the first drop in the back and has a gorgeous setting and color scheme.
