This one's a little bumpy for my taste. Maybe a little remodeling would make it more enjoyable.

I thought it was a pretty good clone. It wasn't that rough and the way you go between the coaster tracks is pretty fun.

All I remember about this ride was that you could watch the first drop, and everybody had their hands up. When they got up to the first turnaround, all the hands were down. I rode it when they ran it backwards in October of 94, and I remember thinking it was pretty wicked. I'd like to ride it again now and see what I think. The backwards idea was a bit much on Psyclone.
