This is a perfect family coaster. While the attraction does not seem like the best fit next to Volcano, Avalanche is pretty fun. The first half is pretty slow and dull and the transition into the brake run is very jerky, but the second half makes up for it. The coaster boasts a rapid-fire series of turns and by the final helix, the bobsleds have really built up a considerable amount of speed and really swing up the side of the trough. Of the two bobsled coasters I have been on, I prefer the Intamin Alpine Bobsled to this Mack model, but it is still a pretty fun coaster worth riding.
