    I used to be a mechanic on this ride, and before the season opened we would have to grease the tracks and load the cars with sand bags otherwise it wouldn't have enough energy to make it all the way around. It would sometimes get stuck at the bottom of a loop. After we broke it in for a few hours with sandbags, we got a bunch of employees to fill every seat to test it. Let me tell you it was so fast it was tripping all the over speeds coming in at around 68 mph. Very rough ride at that speed and too fast. Gave my neck whiplash. I think normally it is around 45 or so which is better. Track is much smoother at the beginning of the year after we have replaced the rough track from last season (mostly at the bottom of the hills). If you want the roller coaster to go faster you need a lot of weight in the cars. This was a very well made ride that rarely gave us any problems.

      @@taylordively4567 I should have said "it gets stuck at the bottom of a hill". I worked on both coasters and neither one gave us much trouble especially the metal one. I think I only got one or two calls for the whole season on the metal coaster.

    After not riding a coaster for 5 years or so, this was a lot of fun even cold (this May), but I imagine if you are used to world-class coasters it would be pretty disappointing. Did you try the back row? It has a lot more air on all the drops and was just more fun in my opinion. That first drop in the front seat though, it's much more intimidating than it looks thanks to the dive through the structure

    • @davidjellis
      @davidjellis  9 лет назад +1

      Ryan Penrod Don't get me wrong, it's an ok coaster, just felt it could have been better given how good it looks! Yes I rode the back - that video is on my list to upload over coming weeks. It's certainly the best coaster at the park!

    • @dml19711
      @dml19711 5 лет назад

      I do agree with everything you and David Ellis say about this rollercoaster, the beginning and middle sections are good but the end is pretty lackluster

    • @dml19711
      @dml19711 5 лет назад

      I have ridden this one quite often, only because it is a short drive from my home, and I think it is the best one in the area.

  • @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides
    @VeryunOfficialTravelGuides 9 лет назад +11

    What a strange layout!?! I love just about every wooden coaster, but I have to agree with the woman at the end who said, "It doesn't really do much". I bet it would be a good coaster for someone who has never ridden a "major" ride and is looking for a first experience that isn't too crazy.

    • @davidjellis
      @davidjellis  9 лет назад +1

      Very unOfficial Travel Guides Agreed - it was pleasant enough but you felt that it could have been better given the layout and natural terrain available.

    • @donnelly5757
      @donnelly5757 8 лет назад +1

      +Very unOfficial Travel Guides As I kid, I probably would have gotten a big rush out of riding a coaster like this. Now that I am training to compete in alpine downhill ski racing, I'd probably be in high agreement with the woman. I still like riding coasters, but it would take an insanely fast and high coaster with lots of g-forces to even begin to feel any sort of rush. This coaster doesn't even look like it would wake me up!lol

      @boweryboy07 7 лет назад

      They're in serious need of a new one. Something with actual thrill, height, and speed. This coaster sucks. It's slow, short, and there's no air time at all. And the Wild Thing is rickety and hurts. I would love it if they RMCed this coaster, got rid of Wild Thing, and replaced it with a megalite.

    • @robloxsrollercoasters6042
      @robloxsrollercoasters6042 6 лет назад

      Late reply, but I was thinking the exact same thing, but instead of replacing wild thing, give it the PR treatment (phantoms revenge) Or add a B&M Looper in its spot, and put the megalite in that big plot of land they have near timberhawk.

    • @gio11138

      The park is only 70 acres, which makes space severely limited for the park and the hilly terrain does no good.
