This coaster is just downright insanity from the moment you drop off that first hill. I was fortunate enough to ride Avalanche 20 times throughout the course of 24 hours [a couple of evening rides on a Friday, followed by 18 rides during three sessions on a Saturday], and wow. I left this thing bruised, battered, barely able to walk, and wanting MORE MORE MORE. Being thrown around like a ragdoll, flying out of your seat, all at seemingly breakneck speeds with no brake run in sight, its just absolute craziness. It feels as though the ride is constantly picking up speed, it flies around the turns, throwing you to the right side constantly and at the same time flinging you skywards. Youre left feeling disoriented and disjointed as you reach the station. The ride is only about 45 seconds long once youve dropped off the lift, but those 45 seconds are a blur of lateral and vertical bodypounding forces which make this coaster a surefire top ten, at least for this dizzy rider.
