Performance

Vs. other coasters at Idlewild & SoakZone

The airtime is pretty good on this coaster, too bad it is to uncomfortable to enjoy especially during the turns/lateral moments.

Max B.

The entire ride is pretty janky from the turns to the ejector airtime, to the weird banking at the end of the ride.

Vinnie T

Solid airtime at a few points and one really crazy lateral moment.

Carter Eckhart

Good airtime.

Millan B.

Pros: Fun experience, smooth finale, bunny hops, Rich history, joke status / meme potential.

Gavin Sikon

This ride is fun on the drops but the turns before the drop are very painful and sharp which I actually like unlike some other people.

Millan B.

Although there’s some jerky turns and hard braking it is a charming ride.

Jacob Heller

This one is also one of the more intense coasters of it’s kind as well.

Vinnie T

But when I did, I had no idea how brutal this ride was.
