It is the best wooden roller coaster I have ever been on and I love the air time.

This is one of the most rough woodies I have ever been on. Its a shame too because this is one of John Allans classic creations and one of his largest designs. Six Flags really has let this nice coaster rot! J. Allan would be turning in his grave if he knew the shape of this coaster nowadays. If you wanna ride the best kept J. Allen design that has basically the same J. Allen tricks such as the trick track and station head chopper adn crazy bunny hills then go ride the smaller but smoother and better maintaned Cannonball at Lake Winnie!

It had some nice air, but isn't high on my wooden coaster list.

This ride sucked. The worst coaster at SFOG. I don't see why people like it. I sat in the very back and felt little to no airtime.

Speaking as a former Assistant Foreman (Operator) of this ride, it is one of the best wodden coasters out there. FACT...The back is the worse seat to sit in if u dont like getting bounced around. The Front of any of the 4 cars is the smoothest seat. In 05 I rode this ride every morning before we opened - In the front ofcourse. My work day at SFOG couldnt be started without ridin ol' betsy (thats the nick name we gave her)

The first time I rode it was pretty smooth and had awesome air time, the second time about 3 years later, it got really rough.

Last year this thing was so rough that all my fillings fell out...ok, not really. But it felt like they would.

Shame too, since it used to be the biggest in the world.
