Not my favorite wooden but still a good, fun ride. I have to ride in the front seat on this ride.

I love this ride in the front and just rode it last weekend over Spring Break. I had forgotten how crazy this ride is. I honestly thought a few times that the train actually had flown off the tracks it is so out of control. I like the ride but man is it a demon with a mission for its riders. Once you are off of it you will remember the name Texas Giant.

This is the greatest coaster in the world. I love the roughness of it. That's part of what makes it so great. The finale is awesome! It's so intense and you get sooooo much air time! This is the best example that US coasters rock!

Well I dont know about the greatest wooden roller coaster in the world, but its a good ride. Its a bit rough, yes even for wooden coaster standards too. I enjoyed it, but dont expect it to run very smoothly.

My first wooden coaster. I was only 7 and it had just opened. It started an obsession that 16 years later still grows. I am so much in love with this ride. It litereally changed my life! lol Even after several trim brakes have been added and several places reprofiled to tame it a bit, this ride is still an intense and amazing coaster! It's so amazing they just couldn't kill it even when they tried!
