Let me start by saying I have a soft spot for wood coasters, especially quirky ones no one else likes (SFNE Cyclone, Sky Liner, Wild Cat @LC) but I have no love for this ride. It's the first thing you see when you pull into the parking lot, such a beautiful welcoming ride, and also the reason it doesn't get a one! It compliments Goliath nicely (as neither of them are very good rides ha!) The ride suffers from a lack of forces other then the first drop and the tire "launch" from the station, no air time to speak of and no laterals as all the turns are taken very slowly. Also it's another twin coaster that no longer races...This layout was clearly built with the idea that the racing aspect would add to the ride....Sorry Colossus, but I'll be walking past you and on to Scream from now on...
