The only part of this ride I liked was the roughness.

In the day this ride was nothing special, forceless and kind of slow. But at night it flew, and I felt a lot of air. The tunnel was cool too, and very loud. I think the ride would have been better if Hurler wasn't there as it would have more trees, but still a good ride.

I hated Grizzly. It started off pretty smooth for a woodie but quickly moved to being rough and irritating. It just was a terrible ride.

I liked this coaster. The first drop has a nice turn to it. The first turnaround is slow though. The dive and dash out of the tunnel is what makes it amazing. There was a lil bit of roughness but I thought it was because it was the first woodie I was on for the year.

This roller coaster is great. Very reminiscent of Beast in some ways, with the woods. Ride at night.
