Easily the best coaster in the park and perhaps the best wooden coaster in the Midwest. The little coaster truly delivers thrills like few coasters can. It really makes me miss the Ozark Wildcat as that was very similar and probably a tiny bit better, but it is rotting away in storage. This is better than Kentucky Rumbler and far better than Prowler on the other side of the state. I rode this within an hour of it's opening years ago, it was great then, and I think it is getting better with age. The pace, twists, turns, and air pops keep you hopping all around in the wonderfully comfortable trains. This little coaster may not have the crazy speed, height, or inversion angle stats that many newer coasters do, but it delivers thrills like very few can.
Perhaps the best mine train ride out there. I love going backwards and this have full time cars on the train that allow for that. Add in decent drop...
Perhaps the best mine train ride out there. I love going backwards and this have full time cars on the train that allow for that. Add in decent drops, decent speed and awesome tunnels and helixes and you have yourself a great little coaster.
This was the biggest surprise of the trip. That is saying something for a park with Lightning Rod in it. We rode this more than any other coaster. ...
This was the biggest surprise of the trip. That is saying something for a park with Lightning Rod in it. We rode this more than any other coaster. It is just plain fun. It is full of surprises that I won't give away. The first time you ride it you will have no idea what is happening or where you are going. Sure, it isn't 100% liquid smooth, and it definitely isn't anywhere near the tallest or fastest, but it simply delivers fun like few coasters can.
Best of the old Arrow loopers. I don't recall any head banging at all. Where this is located leaves the entire coaster out of sight from anywhere in...
Best of the old Arrow loopers. I don't recall any head banging at all. Where this is located leaves the entire coaster out of sight from anywhere in the park. You have no idea where you are going the whole time--especially at night. It is rather short, but very intense. Back when this was built it had to be one of the most intense rides in the world. Even by today's standards it is fabulous, despite the old trains and restraints. Solid 9/10.
