Performance

Vs. other coasters at Stricker's Grove

However, ride this in the back to fully experience the death ejector hill, which gives the strongest airtime of any hill on any coaster i’ve been on.

Jack Schillinger

Yes the ejector moment was insane, but it kind of just meandered around the course for the rest of the ride with no real airtime, which is why I’m not rating it higher.

Bryson Felicelli

Most of the ride has fun floater, but there is a drop about halfway through the ride that gives INSANE ejector.

Spencer S.

It has two surprising pops of airtime towards the end, and it was smooth for a wooden coaster, it had buzz bars which was a first for me, it’s not the most intense coaster but boy was it a surprise.

Sam M.

Most of the ride is pretty good and decently mooth, but there are two insane moments of ejector airtime.

@maxg4304

Sad that this is so hard to ride, because there’s great airtime and a smooth ride.

Christopher S.

The coaster tracks pretty well for a woodie, but the valley after the first drop is brutal if you’re sitting towards the back.

Zach R.

Only complaint is the jackhammering at the end of the first drop which you can avoid if you sit in the front.

Jack Schillinger

Out of nowhere, and it is violent, you get fullon yanked out of your seat with some of the most aggressive ejector air time I’ve felt with just a buzz bar and seat belt holding you in.

Christopher S., Captain Coaster review

This is an underrated woodie, that has a couple crazy pops of ejector.

Zach R., Captain Coaster review

Now that i got that out of the way, this is a very fun coaster.
