What riders love
  • The whole thing is chocked with airtime and is a blast to enjoy.
  • The first drop is forceful, the inversion is excellent, and the airtime is strong throughout the layout, especially with a full train.
  • And the double down has amazing airtime.
  • This ride's layout is phenomenal for the amount of space they were given. It's full of strong airtime and intense turns and twists.
  • This is a unique and intense little coaster. The tight layout makes it feel faster than it is.
  • After this, the ride never lets up, chucking you into 90° banked turns, plenty of airtime hills, snaky, winding track, all while narrowly dodging the support beams.
  • That first drop may be my favorite ever, & the roughness didn't bother me, it made the ride feel crazy!
  • The first drop is insane and the ride is forceful and packs in good airtime throughout it's compact layout.
  • The first drop is one of the best I’ve ever been on for any coaster under 150 ft.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Fun Spot America Kissimmee

The first drop is forceful, the inversion is excellent, and the airtime is strong throughout the layout, especially with a full train.

Eric Esty

Coming out of the zero-g roll, the train makes a turnaround to the left and blasts over an airtime hill.  This is followed by a delightful double down, after which a turnaround to the right leads to...

Coaster Critic

The double down that follows is my personal favorite element on the ride, as it delivers strong, intense ejector airtime.

Cdub

...roughness really is a shame, because the inversion is absurdly fun, and you can 100% feel the "woodyness" of it while being upside down, it’s a sublime moment, not to mention the fun airtime pops.

Matheus Castello

Famous for the inversion but the overbanks steal the show - there’s not much airtime but there doesn’t need to be.

Nyargleblargle

The RMC 208 Retrak they did at the bottom of the drop and two of the turns works wonders and makes these sections really smooth and enjoyable.

GLaDOS

I jsut found the ride incredibly rattley and rough and found myself mostly just clinging on as tight as possible to stop being thrown about.

Emily Pritchard

This isn’t just uncomfortable roughness like some other woodies, but rather painful abrupt roughness that’s actually concerning.

Brandon Bess

But holy crap thisride speeds round the layout like a bullet, offering one of the most stupid and intense rides I’ve ever experienced.

Slovis Celery

One of the most intense wooden coasters out there for sure.

...are non-stop and the train feels as if it’s going faster than 49 mph.  I found the ride to be surprisingly intense as well as thoroughly enjoyable.  It’s exhilarating.  Final rating = 8 out of 10.

Coaster Critic

It’s full of strong airtime and intense turns and twists.

Chris Jones

The rest of the ride features multiple ejector moments, intense turnarounds, as well as an intense, fun 115 degree overbanked turn.

Cdub

Even though it’s rough it kind of makes the ride more intense especially during the Zero G Roll

@ThrillsofColdplay

I mean, it does have great pacing and a good inversion, but the harness is painful, the ride rattles, and it’s way too short.

Cillian Espinosa

...footprint, it makes a huge impact.  The thrills are non-stop and the train feels as if it’s going faster than 49 mph.  I found the ride to be surprisingly intense as well as thoroughly enjoyable....

After this, the ride never lets up, chucking you into 90° banked turns, plenty of airtime hills, snaky, winding track, all while narrowly dodging the support beams.

roller rider

Plus, the pacing is fantastic, with only the two overbanks not being too forceful, but still fun elements.

Eric Esty

Since the rmc track this ride can get sluggish on the last turn and airtime hill but other than that its perfect.

X2fan710

The train also seemed to bleed speed after this leading to later elements lacking the bite they should have.

Cillian Espinosa, Captain Coaster review

When I first rode this in either 2017 or 2018, it did have a rattle but it was tolerable.

Christian Ortiz, Captain Coaster review

I rode this again for the 2nd time in july, after visiting darien lake, i felt like my rough tolerance had gone up so i gave this a shot again and boy it did.

Liight ., Captain Coaster review

The RMC sections are freakishly smooth, but the transitions in and out of the new steel are back-breakingly rough.

Ethan S., Captain Coaster review

Coming out of the zero-g roll, the train makes a turnaround to the left and blasts over an airtime hill.  This is followed by a delightful double down, after which a turnaround to the right leads to more airtime hills.

Coaster Critic, published review

The RMC track that they’ve added really makes most of this ride very smooth.
