The theme always gives me a little extra thrill. Also swinging over the Rhine river always made the ride that much better. Also this is one of few suspended roller coasters world wide.

The best Arrow suspended coaster to date. The themeing and drop over the river makes it rise above the rest.

For my first suspended roller coaster it was great! The theme really gave its prime. And when you go over the Rhine river it makes it a must ride.

Easily the best Arrow Suspended I've been on. It's the only suspended coaster that I've exited and wanted to get right back in line to ride again.

I don't know what the whole RIP is about. Big Bad Wolf is still standing and very much alive. Yeah, a tree may have fell on a section of the track buy big deal, it was repaired. Once again, the theming is excellent on this ride. I love the chainlift wit the wolf howling in the wood. The trip through the Bavarian village swerving in and out of the buildings is a rush. The drop over the Rhine River is the best part of the ride. They even spray a little mist of water on you.

Not a spectacular ride. Don't ride it the line is too long. Some nice theming and a great dive over the river after the second lift. Definitely worth a ride or two.

My girlfriend hates this coaster and calls it lame and kiddie. I dont see how. This is a fun trilling coaster, I love feeling like it is going to hit the wall. out of control fun.

The theme is great, but I perfer the other type of coasters which provide speed and steep turns.

The way that they designed to have the wolf howl in the background and going through the village is nice.

This was 1 of my first roller coasters ever. its got great theme and scenery. the only bad things about it is that its pretty rough and its definately 4 beginers becuz it doesnt go very fast and the drops are very small but overall its a good roller coaster.

Mixed reactions. the swinging was great, I liked it overall, but that second drop busted my knee both times, and that was eteched in my memory. 3/5

I love this ride. The first time I thought I was going to hit the buildings on the first part. The swinging is great, especially on the last drop. The trims on the last drop slow the ride down from its full potential, but oh well, the drop and swing after is still insane. This has the most swinging of any Arrow supended still standing.

Overall 8.5/10

The last drop is the best part of the ride and going through the village area was pretty cool even though it was hard to make it out hahahha. Good coaster experience.

The dive over the river is amazing! Too many brakes but great theming!
