Brandon Gorgone

My first impression of this coaster was a standard family coaster, but was actually surprised how it got faster and snappier turns by the half end of the ride, thanks to the compact footprint.

@johnninocovers

This video is good quality but honestly the ride feels way faster in real life.

“It was awesome…I usually don’t like rides, but that was a lot of fun,” she said.

Christina Merrill, review

This thing is super short and it’s not that tall but it packs a great punch.

CoasterKing, Captain Coaster review

While yes it is a short ride, what they packed into the small space they had to work with is great.
