View Park/Ride Count 		Great ride in the back. Got some good air off of the drop and off of the helix (when the trim on the bottom is off). Crappy in the front, but excellent in the back.

View Park/Ride Count 		The first drop is exciting, but after that the trims absolutely kill the ride.

View Park/Ride Count 		I didnt like red as much as blue. The ride needs to be un-tirmed They slow the train down so much and 3 or 4 spots...
