Performance

Vs. other coasters at Adventureland Iowa

It’s smooth and well profiled for this type of ride.

I’d say the most intense part of the ride is when you face directly up or directly down (depending on where you sat)

@haileydebruin5000

My mom who cannot do spinning rides could do this one unharmed and when that is the case about a spinning coaster that means it is bad.

James J.

Basically no spinning, stacking so much that each midcourse would slam you to a near stop which further hurt the intensity.

The only real complaint is the trim breaks are a bit annoying, not unusual for this type of ride and the uncomfortable thud when the train returns to the start.

Not sure if they changed something on this one, but seeing a lot of complaints on it not spinning enough and it not being intense, but it spun a lot for us that we even all felt a little dizzy.

Glass Cannonn, Captain Coaster review

I went on this ride in it was so fun I just couldn’t imagine what it would be like I was so excited to go on at the Phoenix

@bcgamers6824, review

I went on this a long time ago with my niece, she talked me into it, and it turned out to be so fun.
