Celebrating its 25th season (1977-2001), the sooperdooperlooper has redeemed itself to me. Last time I rode it, it was faster than it has been in the past few years. Could have been the rain, could have been off season maintenance, could have been anything, but after the loop and the turnaround that threads the track back through the loop I suddenly realized that the old looper was running fast! It roared through the mine tunnel and even the mid course trims only slowed it down momentairly only to speed through the final helix (that appears to have been blasted out of the rock). One of the very few coasters with an inversion not to use OTSRs, this was the first looping coaster on the east coast (a close cousin of Magic Mointains Revolution). Recomendation: Everyone... but some thrill seekers may find it too tame... excellent "first time" coaster for the young ones. Purpose: Fun.
