This is a pretty good shuttle. The entire thing is wonderfully smooth, and with only the lap bar you have great freedom, unlike any other coaster at SFKK. The line is usually non-existent and is usually a walk-on, another reason I like it. The airtime on the front and back spikes is amazing, and if you sit in the middle, you get to experience pretty decent airtime on both spikes. A good re-rider.

I really liked the ride but the park really kills it has they over trim it going backwards.. Sitting in the front seat you go up the back spkie all of 5 feet.

All this coaster is, is a shuttle loop; nothing special and nothing for Kentucky Kingdom to be proud of. Its nothing I get excited over, I wish they made a better investment and mabye I would be more enthusiastic. Dont get me wrong, its not a bad ride, it just doesnt blow me away. But again not bad, just wish more thought and money went into making a better coaster.

I liked it better at SFOG as The Viper. They moved it to KK and slowed it down tremendously. I rode it and was like....un unh. at SFOG, The back incline was the best part. no matter what seat u sat in. The only thing i didnt like was the awful sounds of the brakes opening and closing while waiting in the station, and that loud horn before the ride takes off.

I may be way off base here, but wasn't Greezed Lighnin' origanally The Tidalwave at Marriot's Great America Gurnee? Thats what I was lead to believe. Infact I was told that it still had the lobster and the my name is Oscar sticker on the luanch pod when it was first at KK.

These shuttle loops are really fun in my opinion. The back spike in the back is awesome!
