A surprising little looper. Its definitely worth the time to ride it, if only to experience that loop with only a tiny lapbar.

Standard little looper. Nothing special. It is kind of cool that you stay in the car even though you dont have over the shoulder restraints. Ride this one once, twice if the line is really short.

Nice to see a coaster like this in a theme park, not a traveling fair. The loop felt weird with only lap bars

Glad to see not all Schwarzkopfs have been destroyed with OTSR, knock on wood. Really nifty ride with the most interesting chain lift I've ever seen.

I enjoyed this coaster and would call it this my second favorite ride of the park. It’s pretty smooth for an older coaster. This is one of the better 25+ year old coasters I have been on, second only to Mind Bender at SFOG in my opinion.
