Performance

Vs. other coasters at Waldameer

The only bad thing about it is that the sharp turns can be a little too intense and jerky and can cause slight pain.

Slater S.

The trim brakes really make the ride uncomfortable unfortunately

Looks slower in this video than when I went on today I went so fast I felt like I was going to fly out since my legs didnt feel secure enough

What riders say

Praised for

Fun

My 5th favorite ride at Waldameer and this is also the first thrill coaster I ever rode as Waldameer is my home park.

Slater S., Captain Coaster review

It’s just a standard spinning coaster, and that’s still fun enough.

Nathan F, Captain Coaster review

It has some crazy fun moments like a surprisingly intense first drop, a fun helix, and it spins quite a bit.

roller rider, Captain Coaster review

It’s kinda fun. Kind of a poor man’s version of cedar points wild mouse without the theming and audio.

Glass Cannonn, Captain Coaster review
