What riders love
  • In the back row I was standing up for half the ride from the airtime alone.
  • Literally the most underrated ride I've ridden, airtime in second to back row on blue train goes so hard.
  • The buzz bars give so much room and ops don’t care how loose your seat belt is.
  • The attendants do not care how loose your seat belt is.
  • Due to the buzz bars, this ride has some scarily powerful ejector airtime.
  • Airtime on all the hills was excellent and i was pleasantly surprised by the amount of ejector!

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Family Kingdom Amusement Park

The buzz bar allows for some good airtimes, but some of those airtimes can slam you into the buzz bar if you’re not prepared.

Airtime on all the hills was excellent and i was pleasantly surprised by the amount of ejector!

Spencer S.

I know it had great airtime and so liked the restraints but it was also a rough ride and it did hurt a bit.

Greyson Smith

Due to the buzz bars, this ride has some scarily powerful ejector airtime.

Inverted Thrills

Front row riders get some floater airtime, but the profiling is too shallow to do anything for back row riders.

Canobie Coaster

It’s a great coaster and I rode it three times and each time the coaster was consistent in delivering lots of airtime and laterals.

@SoCalAdventurer19

Make sure to sit in the second to back, it’s way smoother than the very back

Jessica Beddingfield

Great ride with insane airtime and the turn at the end gives insane lats, but it’s a little rough and way too short.

J&B FitzTubeKidz

Granted it is rough but all for makes up in the fact that is supplies crazy airtime and only has a buzz bar.

Zolo Loto

It’s very forceful and actually smooth now since it’s retrack.

ColdplayFan360 RollerCoasterFreak

A hidden gem in the south that is more powerful than Phoenix

Max Bright

I was shocked by how intense this coaster was.

@DCLocal84

very intense, especially for its smaller size.

@CantGoBackNow

The drops take your breath and it gets faster and faster - brutal airtime - no new- fangled steel retracking here!

@brianjustice2586
