Oh how I so badly wanted to LOVE this coaster. Alas, I cannot. Rode all over the train to be fair. Back seat and front seat were just no fun. Not mean and rough enough to be a good solid "kick my *ss coaster" (like BEAST and SOB), and theres no airtime on this thing whatsoever. The middle seats led for the best ride overall. The main problem here stems from the overbraking (especially on the drop hill). If this beast was unleashed, yeah it would be a "brutal ride" but I suspect in that fun kind of way. As it stands, this beast is like a tranqualized lion ... not really as wild and mean as it was ever meant to be. UPDATE: During 2003 Halloweekends, CP let this run without the trims on the 1st drop. The result? A FANTASTIC RIDE for most of this coaster. It had the roughness its supposed to have, that good kind of "kick your *ss" roughness, and even a shot of airtime (if you can believe it). Heres hoping CP learns from this type of experience and FINALLY lets the MEAN STREAK be MEAN.
