-Amazing first Immelman with awesome hangtime and very interesting airtime on the left end seats

-Second drop that is just as intense as the first IMO...amazing airtime once again

-Second Immelman that provides more powerful forces than the first Immelman

-Bunnyhill that provides decent airtime

-Water feature that gets several seats pretty wet in the back row

-Left end seats get hit with dripping water before being popped out of seat one last time in the dip into the brakes

Im sorry, but I fail to see where Griffon is a one trick pony. It is a Dive Machine...by its very nature its layout will be limited in comparison to other rides. It does what it is designed to do, and that is to provide a rush unlike that of any other coaster. I think I had more simple fun on Griffon than Ive had on any other ride in a very long time. At the same time, Griffon manages to provide a fantastic experience from start to finish, complete with an energetic atmosphere and great theming, and personally, I think it deserves more than a one line review and a crappy rating...at least others who have given it a 7 have commented on its positive attributes...

Rush unlike that of any other coaster? Wow, I definitely disagree. The park already has a ride with an immelman so why build a ride with 2 more? Sure, it has a great first drop but not much else after that IMO. Wouldnt quite call it a One Trick Pony though. And who wants to be pelted with Huge water drops as the ride is ending? I know it upset me.

^You were upset to get a little sprinkle? And Alpengeists Immelman has NOTHING on Griffons two Immelmans...

All I know is that I am somewhat sick of rides that I have access to always being poo-pood by nit-picky enthusiasts, and then rides hundreds of miles away, beyond my grasp for at least the next 10 years are treated like the second coming of Jesus or something
