Bay Beach Amusement Park, Green Bay, Wisconsin
POV
Good airtime with 6 good airtime hills (and one ejector death hill).
The coaster itself is surprisingly good.
A great coaster that is also very cheap! Only 1 dollar per ride!
It also has an interesting history, as it was declared by Elvis as his favorite ride.
The drops, duration and speed are pretty decent, there's a couple surprises thrown in there for good airtime and the shoreline location of the bay is beautiful.

Vs. other coasters at Bay Beach Amusement Park
The jolt at the end of the ride is kind of controversial, it’s a great airtime surprise, but man, is that bump violent.

...I never rode but in 2011 the Gravity Group remade the coaster at my home park, good floater throughout the layout, with ridiculous ejector near the end, not very rough in all of my 14 rides on the...

A lot of really good sustained ejector moments, albeit weaker ejector, amplified even more by the PTC restraints.

The row three is the best for the ejector death hill but the back row does have some advantages on some of these other elements.

I rode this in 2020, and I generally agree with your review, however IMO the floater drops are actually quite good on their own, and above average compared to most other out and back woodies I can...

...objectively has a crazier layout, I slightly enjoyed Zippin Pippin over Hades because the ride experience on Zippin Pippin was far more comfortable while also including some strong airtime moments.

...since this is my home park but the first drop and second drop still give me butterflies from airtime, im suprised how non bumpy it is compared to others but it is still quite rough in some spots

I remember the ejector death hill being too intense for a back row ride--always had to be the 2nd or 3rd from the back at most.

Plus there is never a really long wait for the ride.
JJ
One train ops, an unnecessarily long load/unload process and a break-down totalled up to an hour-long wait, which wasn’t necessary even given the crowds.

Always follow the rules, warnings and restrictions posted by the park.

JJ, Captain Coaster reviewThis coaster is in a cute little park and is modest in size but still is quite thrilling.
David, Captain Coaster reviewI am a bit biased since this is my home park but the first drop and second drop still give me butterflies from airtime, im suprised how non bumpy it is compared to others but it is still quite rough in some spots
Sophia Klein, Captain Coaster reviewSo its fun overall, but there is one really jerky part at the end that yanks you upward on the last FULL hill, but the first drop in the back feels like you are getting sucked into a vacuum so that’s really nice although the turns are VERY jerky latteraly
Fluxxal Diamond, Captain Coaster reviewI have ridden this thing too many times to count and the final ejector hill feels as strong as the first time I rode it… it feels like one of the Magnum hills
