This is a must ride, if only for its historical value.

The lifthill on the ride is the best part... lol... The drops on the ride are not very steep but they are long... And the turns are low to the ground so its a fun ride.

This is one of those rides you just can't help but fall in love with. I'll be quite honest, for that month that the ride was supposed to be shut down forever, i came close to crying. Generations have ridden this ride and it's the must ride attraction of the park. It has the most comfortable seats and the greatest sharp turns, it's just a great ride to experience and the perfect "first roller coaster"

You know this ride isnt very long, tall, or fast, but it is very enjoyable. It's a nice relaxer in between the bigger rides. I have to say I really liked this ride a lot. I'm glad they did not get rid of it, otherwise I would of never had the opportunity to ride it the year I went to SFGA. I recommend everyone, young and old, hop on this coaster when they are there.
