Coaster reviews

Headbanging Harness Discomfort

I've never met anyone that liked this ride. It's hard to believe this was B&M's first roller coaster ever. Fortunately they redeemed themselves with their future designs.

Capacity

Classic old school kiddie coaster. Great history.

First Drop Inversions Smoothness

The main pro is not so much the first drop as it is the chest crushing g's of the first loop.

Airtimes First Drop Harness

My favorite coaster in the park -- especially in the back row. (Goliath is good, but it's too short to be my favorite)

Theming Theming

It used to be a really fun ride. The theming was great in the early years. Unfortunately over time, the theming has become run down -- damaged by vandals throwing things at the "billboard" screens, other items just broke down and never got repaired. The ride just needs a little TLC.

Launch Capacity

My favorite part is the freefall coming down the backwards spike. I miss the magnetic hold that paused you before falling down the backwards spike.

Fun

Always more fun when your car is not balanced. Still enjoy riding it when we visit Six Flags America.

Inversions Pace Intensity

The OG inverted coaster. All the rest are mere clones.

Airtimes

Still a great Woodie after 40+ years. Also had the opportunity to ride the blue side BACKWARDS in 2013.

Typical kiddie coaster. Just big enough for adults to fit in the seat. Was better when it had the Jetson's theming.

It's getting rougher over the years. Even had the opportunity to ride it backwards back in 2013.

One of the OG Arrow Dynamics looping coasters. a.k.a. Turn of the Century

If you grew up in southern Wisconsin or northern Illinois in the past 50 years.... you likely rode Whizzer (a.k.a. Willard's Whizzer) as your first "big kids" roller coaster.
