I like this coaster, its a part of steel coaster history. It was designed by one of the Great Modern coaster designers Ron Toomer of Arrow-Dynamics. This was only Rons second coaster. His first was the Corkscrew at CP. He has since gone on to design some great coasters including:
Five coasters at CP:
Magnum XL-200
Iron Dragon
Gemini
Cedar Creek Mine Train
Corkscrew
The other coasters he has designed are:
Big Bad Wolf
Desperado - BBRC
Drachen Fire - BGW
Loch Ness Monster - BGW
Ragin Cajun - PB
Steamin Demon - GE
I think this coaster was a pretty good second attempt. There werent very many steel loopers around when this was built. I enjoyed this coaster and think its a good coaster for beginners as well as folks that enjoy coaster history.
