      When I went on it a couple weeks ago, it’s not as bad as you think, the first drop feels so long because it basically goes straight down but it feels like raging bull but a little longer, the rest of the ride goes so fast and like you don’t have any time to blink, but it was an amazing ride and a few weeks ago I was freaking out here but now it’s my favorite ride. So people you should go on it and be brave because you’ll have a lot of fun and it will blow you away.

Lightning rod has lost that title of fasted wooden roller coaster especially since they toned it down… too bad i’ve only experienced the new one.
