Pleasantly surpriseing ride almost as good if not better than Shwarzkopf shuttle loops a nice ejection on the first drop and backward launch. The shoulder restraints aren't bad as there's no turns to inflict lateral forces although lapbars would be better. This is the former lightnin loops at SFGADV that were replaced by batman the ride, the lightnin loops were the first interlocking? Loops ever that or loch ness monster at BGE.

For what it is, it's good. I usually skip this ride at Elitch's. There are about a billion and one steps to the top. The ride is really short and a pretty tame.

This is one of my favorite coasters here surprisingly. Altough the layout is simple these r still rare to find these days. The first one I rode was at Frontier City in Oklahoma and I enjoyed it too. but I like this one better. Why? I have no idea.

This is the first of these Arrow shuttle loop coasters that I have ridden, and I must say it was one of the tamest coaster experiences I have ever had. The launch was not super fast, the drop was pretty small, the loop was a standard Arrow vertical inversion, and then there was a very slow climb and brake into the opposite straightaway. Repeating the process in reverse was kind of the same story. All in all this was an okay coaster, but it would definitely benefit from being a little faster and a little taller. Schwarzkopf shuttle loop coasters are far superior in my opinion.

Minimalism in roller coaster design: a short, straight track with not a curve in it except for a solitary loop centered between the two ends.I liked the stairs up (theyre quite high -- the coaster literally has no lift, so all the horsepower is mechanical, not electric). Next time, Id bring a Slinky with me to watch it dance down the stairs, and skip the ride.

This is actually a very good ride. The 2 drops have a great amount of airtime on them, and the loop is surprisingly intense. There is almost never a line, so its worth a ride or two

This ride is much funner than it looks. Its great that it accelerates you BEFORE the huge drop. Also, the backward drop is very nice. This is a simple, fun coaster for beginners.
