What riders love
  • Genuinely the best wild mouse I have done.
  • The first ride that I hit when I visit my home park as well as my favorite Wild Mouse coaster!
  • This was one of the better wild mouse style family coasters I’ve been on!
  • For some reason, this coaster has the most intense moments of ejector airtime out of all the coasters at Michigan's Adventure.
  • It also is the only wild mouse Ive ridden with actual airtime
  • The lateral G’s were just right and there are some decent pops of airtime on the back half of the ride.
  • Biggest surprise of the park.

Vs. other coasters at Michigan's Adventure

For some reason, this coaster has the most intense moments of ejector airtime out of all the coasters at Michigan’s Adventure.

Parker Henrion

The lateral G’s were just right and there are some decent pops of airtime on the back half of the ride.

Chris Frechette

The ride is so smooth and so wild with lots of sharp airtime pops.

Louis Smith

It also is the only wild mouse Ive ridden with actual airtime

Zach Puckett

The ride was very smooth for a wild mouse and didn’t hurt as much as the Mack and zamperla ones.

Zach Puckett

...turns weren’t too tight, the drops were sharp, the transitions weren’t jarring, the pace was excellent, it had more drops and turns than most have, and the train was actually roomy and comfortable.

Eric Esty

It’s a cool, rare Arrow Mouse credit, but at the same time, it’s pretty uncomfortable and there’s just not a whole lot of fun to be had here from an enthusiast’s perspective.

Justin Lininger

The ride by itself is fine but those last two hills hurt so bad that it’s not even worth it

I really enjoyed it, it was so fast paced.

However, the wait times are abysmal, partly due to the nature of the model, but also because of MA’s horrible operation choices for this ride.

Parker Henrion

However, the line moved at a snail’s pace because they would only run one car at a time and many of the cars would only have 2 riders.

Parker Henrion, Captain Coaster review

It’s cool to say I’ve done an arrow mouse but the ops were horrific and it’s still just a wild mouse.

Chris Jones, Captain Coaster review

The turns may be watered down, but they’re still fun and have some great sharp drops.

Incredible Coasters, published review

The first ride that I hit when I visit my home park as well as my favorite Wild Mouse coaster!

Bryce Fourn, Captain Coaster review

This turn is awesome as it’s the type of turn where it just pins you to the side and you keep turning.

Incredible Coasters, published review

This was one of the better wild mouse style family coasters I’ve been on!

Chris Frechette, Captain Coaster review
