What riders love
  • This was my first coaster, and since then I've been hooked.
  • We ride this at least once every time. It never gets old.
  • Good enough layout with some decent airtime pops to make it clear why this ride has stuck around all these years.
  • Decent pops of airtime here and there.
  • A couple spots of airtime and it’s very smooth and comfortable.
  • When I rode at the start of the season, this thing was genuinely so smooth.
  • It is far smoother than you would expect.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Lagoon

Roller Coaster has very comfortable trains (Thank you GCI 🥳), and some nice airtime moments throughout the whole thing.

A couple spots of airtime and it’s very smooth and comfortable.

Benjamin Andrews

The back row gives some nice pops of ejector on those first few drops.

CoasterHead

This ride was so boring when i went on it i was so disapointed by the lack of airtime.

@waltandme

The park does a fantastic job maintaining this ride to be a smooth and enjoyable ride.

CoasterHead

When I rode at the start of the season, this thing was genuinely so smooth.

Arram

Recommend riding in the front as I found it significantly smoother than in the back, which occasionally jackhammers pretty badly.

Josh Miller

Absolute amazing as my 1st wooden and 2nd Rollercoaster, in fact the roughness is a good thing this ride it makes the ride crazier and fun, number 3 on my list.

Ridge

It’s not gonna make my Top 10 List or anything like that, but it is a really fun wooden coaster with some nice speed, laterals, and even a little bit of ejector air.

Incredible Coasters

You noticeably slow down atop several turns and hills.

Incredible Coasters, published review

It never gets old.It has one of the most comfortable lap bars in the park, too.

Hunter M., Captain Coaster review

Instead, I had a very pleasant ride on a classic woodie that didn’t rattle my brain.
