What riders love
  • The spinning coupled with the twisty layout and indoor carny theming makes for a joy of a ride.
  • You were guaranteed to have drops backward and forward.
  • She was age 7 at the time...and we both lenjoyed it...she loved it.
  • I adore the blacklight neon carnival aesthetic.
  • It is a dark mouse with glow in the dark theming to make it look like a circus and it does this really well.
  • nice spinning, the theming is very unique, and overall a very fun ride.
  • It surprised me with how smooth it was considering it's a Maurer spinning coaster, and I'm used to getting rough rides on Steel Dragon at Waldameer so it was extra nice.
  • They spin you just the right amount. Being someone who can't typically do spin rides I appreciated that this one was not over done.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Hersheypark

The indoor theming is kinda fun, and the track is very smooth, but there are a ton of dead spots and the spinning is very minimal.

MapleFlakes

Laff Track was unbelievably smooth and fun for a family spinner.

Aric The Kakapo

These Maurer spinners don’t have much force but this one is smooth and being enclosed does add to the experience even if the theming is somewhat mailed in.

Bryan Bonafede

The end of the ride also like, slams the cart to the side to lock the direction back in place which was pretty uncomfortable.

BingoDingo

The brake run had an awful jolt and the first drop was really good.

Sam Palermo

It is quite intense for an indoor ride because the cars spin around on the tracks and there’s lots of high banked turns which elevate this.

Clayton Latone

I love this coaster it was a pure masterpiece the spinning was incredible the first drop is really intense and I got a ride with Hershey park central who also hates these restraints.

Sharon Ludwig

The ride is relatively tame force wise but all the scenery in that dark room with all the sounds around you is interesting.

Jonas

It’s a fun FAMILY coaster; it’s not meant to be super flashy or thrilling, it’s supposed to be fun.

Bradley D.

Despite the theming I find this ride to run slower than the other Maurer spinners that I’ve ridden so it’s my least favorite.

Carter Eckhart

While the excessive brake runs kill the speed, we started spinning pretty fast towards the very end.

roller rider

I was lucky last time I went to easily get a 15 minute wait with my friend.

Isaiah White

Capacity really sucked, but this was also one of the only rides to operate the whole (very very wet and rainy) day when most of the rides were closed.

Evangelion Martini

It’s definitely not worth the wait that this thing can build up, especially if Wildcat is a walk-on next door (which it was).

MapleFlakes
Worth the queue

If you want to do this, do it first thing, because it gets huge lines and it’s not worth waiting for.

CoasterKing

Although we had to wait the longest for this coaster out of all the ones at Hershey park, Laff trakk was worth the wait.

Long waitsMade riders sick

This is actually my favorite spinning coaster over Pandamonium copy’s great theming all around most definitely best themed ride in the park.

Isaiah White, Captain Coaster review

I like that Hershey has an indoor coaster, especially for kids, but the line just gets so long.

Chris Jones, Captain Coaster review

Capacity really sucked, but this was also one of the only rides to operate the whole (very very wet and rainy) day when most of the rides were closed.

Evangelion Martini, Captain Coaster review

It’s pretty fun and I enjoyed it, although it does take a long time to get on the ride, the line takes forever.

Coaster Potato, Captain Coaster review

The glow-in-the-dark atmosphere is unique, there is scenery flying all around you during the ride, and (most of) the queue isn’t a bore to wait in.

Coaster Critic, published review

its a fun family coaster ig but its stupid to go on anyway because the line is always long.
