The best stand-up I have ever ridden!

This ride is in dire need of a paint job as bare steel is now exposed so it could start rusting in the main track. Lately I have noticed headbanging which I hadn't noticed before, probably due to lack of maintenance. By far my favorite part is the first drop and the vertical loop, nothing beats its speed and intensity. The front row is a must for this coaster.

Often it will make the backs of my legs hurt due to the speed and G's pulled during the ride, but that quickly goes away after it is over. By far the best ride at SFKK

An absolutely wonderful ride. It's worth a trip to SFKK just to ride this.

Are there trims on the drop like on Mantis?


It looks like a great ride.

Chang is the second best stand-up I have been on...with The Georgia Scorcher being better. The ride runs great and unlike Mantis, it has a trimless first drop!

Of the 7 stand up coasters this is the best. The layout is a lot like Mantis at Cedar Point but unlike Mantis it didn't have the trims on the first drop which made it a much better ride. However the ride NEEDS a new paint job.

A good B&M Stand Up, but it looks like a Mantis knockoff!

Currently, the #1 stand-up to me. It's smooth, twisted, intense, but now lame trims on the drop like Mantis.

I can't remember when I rode this, but I don't recall trims on the first drop. It's a solid ride, but the park needs to keep up with the landscaping and paint on this ride. It looked like it had been on that plot of land for a good 15 years with no upkeep. It's definitely in my top three of stand-up coasters and the Georgia Scorcher is NOT one of those 3 either...

Not a bad stand-up, but I'll take Georgia Scorcher and Riddler's Revenge over Chang any day.

This is one of my favorite roller coasters that I have ridden, its not the best, but is certainly good. Of the standups I have been on, this would be my number one. Also this is the ocaster that helped me become a roller coaster enthusiasts, once I overcame this, my fear for roller coasters no longer existed. So thanks to this ride, it has helped me in many ways and hopefully it has a long history at SFKK.

I love Chang so much. By far the best standup I have been on. Really smooth and so forceful.
