    This is officially my daughter's first big roller coaster. She's 5. I can't believe she rode it, and she wants to go back and ride it again. I didn't ride my first coaster until I was probably 11 or 12.

    This was my favorite coaster when I went to this park. Unfortunately, Ride of Steel was closed, but the flip side was that it was raining all day, and the park was almost empty. So we could go on this bad boy over and over. Good times.

    One of the best backseat rides on an old woodie, comparable to the Coney Island Cyclone in terms of intensity and ejector airtime. (My husband thought we were gonna die on this when we went a few years ago...I'd ride it again in a heartbeat!)

      It’s mostly because the paint is chipping. The drop has some new wood from what I can see. And contrary to beliefs, this park does a pretty good job upkeeping this ride. The only negative I feel is with the wheels.

    • @Jcoaster95
      @Jcoaster95 2 года назад

      It's been redesigned and profiled countless times... It started as a side friction coaster, then it was converted to a modern coaster, with a swoop turnaround and helix ending... Then at some point the helix burned down and it operated without it. The helix was rebuilt when it was relocated to Wild World (SFA) and at some point the swoop turnaround was changed to a flat turnaround.

      This coaster was built in 1917 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. It was the main attraction at its first amusement park., Paragon Park in Nantasket Beach Massachusetts until 1984. I know only because I lived in the small seaside town for many years
