Performance

Vs. other coasters at Wild Waves Theme & Water Park

Solid airtime on nearly every drop as it hauls through the layout, but that is such a rare occurrence that I don’t add it onto my score.

Erik Peterson

There’s a couple floater moments that are pretty solid.

It has a few minor points of airtime and some weak but noticeable laterals.

The track is very smooth and seems to be well maintained by the park and the ride ops are great at moving the line.

It’s a fun ride, very smooth, but it doesn’t do a whole lot.

Erik Peterson

The ride is smooth and comfortable since it is not an extreme ride.

The roughness hits most on the turnarounds, which don’t have enough speed for the roughness to hurt on.

Nathan F

It’s not very intense or long but is a perfect family wood coaster to get new enthusiasts hooked.

Sure it might not have a lot of airtime, but it’s smooth and fast which can still make it an enjoyable ride.

Jo, Captain Coaster review

R.I.P the only operating S&S woodie in the U.S and this was an interesting ride experience because it ran remarkably smooth but it had no forces at all even though the back row is a little janky but it is more intense so yeah a weird ride I don’t know whether I like it or not

David F., Captain Coaster review

It’s a fun ride, very smooth, but it doesn’t do a whole lot.
