This is a truly spectacular coaster, it really surprised me (being in New England, I always figure that any good coaster is 1000 miles away).
The initial climb is spectacular, with a glorious review of the connecticut river and the park. Sit on the left side to look straight down over the water -- freaky.
The ride is fast, smooth, well designed, and has a LOT of variety on the trip. Everything from a vicious drop into a mist-soaked tunnel, onto high-G turns and incredible negative-G bunnies. Its biggest success is the fact that the incredible initial drop is NOT my favorite moment, despite how awesome it is. Its the twisty high-G turns and banks on the second half of the ride. Awesome.
A must ride.
