Coaster reviews

Pace Fun Intensity Too short

One of my favorite childhood coasters. I have a lot of fond memories with this from back when it was called Top Gun. Riding it as an adult, it definitely feels a lot shorter than I remember; but man, that corkscrew and helix over the lake is still magical, even with the drought keeping the water level down. Back left seat is where the magic really happens--I was seeing spots on the turn after the first loop. You ride this for the positive G-forces and well-paced layout. It's just fun. With the addition of Railblazer it's no longer the most intense ride here but it still packs a punch. I hope it continues to operate for many years to come. Thanks everything, Flight Deck!

Pace Intensity Ejectors Capacity

I was not expecting this thing to be as intense as it was. My first ride, third seat from the front, I scream-cussed the whole time. It goes by so fast you have no idea what is happening. From absolutely any seat this thing is bonkers. On my third ride after absorbing the layout a bit I got a seat in the back (shoutout to the operating staff guy that gave it to me, bless you)--and holy. Shit. For basically the whole duration of that 90 degree drop you are in no way in your seat. You just get absolutely chucked over it and all the airtime moments afterward feel twice as intense. There's this drop that takes you around the backside of the ride that just totally flings you out. It honestly kinda feels like you're barely in your seat the whole time. This is now the most intense coaster at CGA by a very long shot and it's a great addition to the lineup. I will say that a friend of mine complained of neck pain after the ride, so if you normally have issues with that you may wanna put effort into keeping yours tensed. I myself had no issues. The line is also usually very long and if you want more than a couple rides in a day a fast pass is a must. It's definitely well worth the wait despite its short duration and every time I ride it it just makes me want to go again. And again. And again. Ride this thing or you'll regret it.

Fun Intensity Layout

This is probably my favorite wooden coaster I've ridden so far, and I'm not normally a wooden coaster person. This thing HAULS. I love the forces you experience riding it and it's extremely smooth for what it is. It's definitely fun from the front--super enjoyable to see the surrounding track whizz by as you go--but the back man, the back. The trains are extremely long (9 cars/18 seats) so riding in the back is like experiencing a whole different ride. The intensity just slams by comparison. It absolutely WHIPS you over that first hill and THROWS you around every turn. There's lots of great airtime and it's just a joy to experience. Highly recommended.
