The ride that finally got rid of any lingering coaster fear. After I rode this ride I officially becoame a coaster guy. For years I viewed this as just too much for me too handle. But thanks to my dad pushing me down and strapping in my lap bar I overcame my fear. Now it is just a great story to tell people while Im waiting in line. Ill even admit I was 19 before I could make myself ride it.EDIT-After my last couple experiences have shown me that this review needs rewritten. The orginal is still true, but the rating is not. APPEARANCE-7 I never really liked the look to begin with and now it appears really dated. The view is still fantastic though. CAPACITY-9 Still very good but the way they designed the station cause a huge logjam around the front. If you use that to your advantage you may save some time. RIDE QUALITY-8 Always has been a little rough and always will be. However on my last visit it just felt slower so that was my reduction here. FUN-7 Still remember the rush of the first ride, but while it is still good it has sort of a job like feel now. RERIDE-7 A long way from the guaranteed reride of the old days, but still worth riding if the time is right. OVERALL-38 AVG-7.6 I will go with an 8 since I have still had more good rides then bad, but it is no longer a top ride on my list.
