 Review of Swamp Fox @ Family Kingdom
1 Rating Posted by: biosciking on 6/7/2006 12:37:00 AM
I absolutely loved this one. Built in the mid 60s (and rebuilt, according to rcdb, in the early 90s after some damage, so I dont know how different it is), this one looked like a very tame out and back wood coaster. Tame is far from an accurate description. My first ride took place in the back seat, and I was shocked by the ejector airtime that this thing provided on absolutely each and every hill. It was almost too much, as we got launched from our seat and smacked into the lap bar every time. There were some nice large hills, as well as some fiendish little hops that catapulted us just the same. The front seat provided a different kind of airtime, as it felt like we got launched at the bottom of the hills this way (dont even ask me how that works). This was super fun too, though I spent most of my rides in the back, as I feel that it provided the best rush. It was pretty brutal, but very entertainingly brutal. I actually preferred the Swamp Fox to the Hurricane down the street at the Pavilion. It was kept up very nicely for being in a park that didnt appear to be extremely popular.

im glad you posted this review. this has long been on my "must ride" list. "entertainingly brutal" seems to approximate a quality in coasters which i also find admirable.

Its got some of the weirdest sensations ever. The whole launching into the buzz bar phenomenon, something I rarely experience on any other ride, yet alone sveral times on each cycle, brings mixed reaction within me. I like to see an Allen deliver a forceful ride, but it almost hurts a bit. Really, really weird, and though Id never give it a 10, this is a very accurate description of the ride.
