If you have never ridden this thing, ride it and you will know what a bad coaster is. I do not want to be all negative though, it is a coaster and it does have its moments. It has a great drop -- it would have been better were it not for the heavy brake at the drop. The ride from the station to the lift hill is a nice touch and that is about it. If the queue is not in the station dont bother because it is not worth the wait. It is not even worth the walk up the hill. If you must ride this for your count approach it from the back side of the Wild Mouse. The shame is that everything was put into dropping the train 150 odd feet down toward the lake without any thought of what to do next. Im not an engineer but a high speed banked turn 180 degrees back up the hill is not the kind of thing wood was designed to tolerate. There is barely enough power to limp back to the station. No more drops, no bunny hops, nothing, just a couple of passes by the station. Line jumpers should be sentenced to ride this thing. All others should avoid it.
