This ride gets a 10 not because its overall one of the best ever but because it is by far the best of its type EVER! The suspended coaster, such a promising type of ride yet so many of them dissapointed so greatly, in fact every single one of them has except The Big Bad Wolf! The wolf theme wise is what every ride should be, great story, beautiful landscape, details beyond details. Now the ride. It gives a solid thrill but where it fails is they relent just as they are on the verge of ultimate greatness. You climb the first hill and have no idea what to expect because this ride is hidden in the woods. Than BAM! You pounce into a beautiful bavarian villiage at what seens to be a relentless pace, you almost cant believe you are getting this from such a coaster......than it lets up...... all the sudden BAM it accels again giving you the same shock but once again very quickly lets up.....In your mind you think "come on that was just getting good" than you climb way up and glance to your lift to see a lift hill dropping over a river, what? Creep around the bend than BAAAAAMMMMMMMM drop at what seems again to be a relentless pace over the rine river wipping into a POWERFUL turn that just as you want to call it the best ride ever it lets up.......now your left pondering "this could have been a king but its just a prince" I put it at #10 on my top ten because no other coaster will make you feel that thrill even if its for a ever so brief period of time. My only wish is they would remake this ride into what it truly could be....lets call it "The Bigger Badder Wolf". This is a ride that was on the verge of greatness but falls short. I could picture a version of this ride how it should be and it would be the best coaster ever!!!!
