This was a GREAT steel coaster for its time, a rather good one now. When it was built, it had the most inversions of any coaster (6) and was the tallest coaster in the world (eclipsed a couple years later by MAGNUM at CP). Now, its about average in terms of height, but still strong on inversions. I look for high speeds on coasters, and this one is a little lacking on that (except for the first drop), however the slowness of it is part of the excitement. The corkscrews are taken sooooo sloooooow that it really adds to their intensity. For its time, it was a 10 with bonuses ... now, its slower speeds and constant inversions at least keep it on par with the new bad boys on the block.
