      I got to ride this for the first time last weekend. It actually was pretty smooth surprisingly. There were a few awkward transitions that weren't super comfortable but it was really a lot of fun. I was afraid my friends might not like it but they all wanted to ride it multiple times. lol 😂

    I actually really enjoyed this ride. My friends enjoyed it as well and we went on it multiple times during our visit. There are a few weird transitions in the layout, but it was actually smoother than some of the Arrow coasters I've been on. The trains didn't vibrate much and it really wasn't much of a head banger. Bat Man The Ride was more of a head banger than this coaster. lol 😂 This ride gets a pretty bad rap but it's honestly an okay roller coaster.

    Picture this: You are playing Rollercoaster Tycoon, and you are so close to reaching your number of guests goal to beat the scenario, but you don't have much money or space left. You look at what you can build. You see the corkscrew coaster in the build menu and click on it. After like 30 minutes, you come out with this. The end of the month passes, but the month passes and you are $1,000 in debt, but the new ride brought in enough guests, and kept your pack rating high enough that you win. Very familiar to me. These old Arrows (or in this case part Arrow and part Vekoma) look like they were designed in Rollercoaster Tycoon. 1, 2, or 3.

    I've rode this at least 30 times. It gets a bad rap, but early arrows were ruff. Right of passage. Head chopper lift chain out of the sidewinder element is a high lite. If you pin your head and commit to the corckscrews. It's OK. Low helix at end is a pro.

      I rode it yesterday. It slammed something fierce on the uphill, it was super rattley, and we heard a huge 'clang' when we went through the same part, which, now that I replayed it, you can hear the same 'clanging' sound at 1:42-1:46. the entire train reacted to that part with a look of 'oh god this is where I die' and the instructor at the end said 'heyyy welcome back guys how was the ride' to which absolutely nobody said anything good about, he then said "ohhh kayyy let's settle down.. it wasn't THAT bad you guys". everyone in my group rode almost everything in the park twice, except this one. horrifying and the only time I genuinely couldn't chock my fears up to plain-old anxiety. I will never ride this coaster again.
