    Reißt es ab! Irrelevant Dead spots

    This is up there for worst wooden coaster ever. It’s closed a lot. The queue always moves painfully slow, because the ride operators always seem to take literally 5 minutes preparing each train. There is no air time, and there are no ejectors. It isn’t very fast. It isn’t very tall. When you’re done, you get to wait another 3-5 minutes, while the operators prep the train in front of you. I will say it is a good intro coaster for 48” kids, but other than that, grizzly has nothing going for it. This coaster is just all-around bad, but I will continue riding it, because my 7 year old likes it.

    Rode it twice. Amazing in the front with your hands up. Sitting in seat 6 with my hands secure was kind of underwhelming. It’s a good, intense ride with some nice inversions. The coaster itself is short, exhilarating, and sweet.

    Kapazität Tempo Intensität

    After the re-track, this ride is still extremely intense, but it’s definitely a little less uncomfortable. For me, riding Gold Striker at night is up there for best ever night ride on a coaster. It’s just so relentless in the dark. 5 stars. With the news that Great America is closing, I’m more emotionally attached to it, because I know it’s temporary. That probably helps it’s ranking too. Ride it while you can, ride after dark when you can, and the back is the best!

    Nette Überraschung! Spaß Sanftheit Dead spots

    For a wooden coaster that opened 100 years ago, I was expecting a pretty shaky experience. Instead, I had a very pleasant ride on a classic woodie that didn't rattle my brain. It also had some half-way decent drops. It's in great shape for its age.

    It’s an intense invert with some amazing moments. It’s fast paced, it’s fun, and it’s got a great layout. The rattle isn’t too big of a problem for me.

    Abschuss Sanftheit Hangtime Zu kurz

    The launch is great, and I love that enormous vertical loop right after. I love how the operators trick you for when they launch. The reverse launch out of the tunnel is my favorite part. The top hat is quite strange, though. Usually you get airtime at the top of the top hat, but on Full Throttle you get it when you go down. People hate on this ride for the breaks on the top hat, but without them, I think it would be *too* intense. My only real complaint is that it feels like half a ride.

    It’s cute I guess but I wouldn’t recommend riding unless you’re looking for more credits.

    This ride is crazy fun! The airtime hill after the dive loop is amazing and the stall is absolutely bonkers!

    This ride was amazing. That Pretzel Loop was absolutely insane! It was smooth as glass, and had great pacing. My only real complaint is that it’s uncomfortable, but all Flyers are like that anyways.

    It’s actually pretty fun for a kiddie ride.
