I'm conflicted. On one hand, this ride (back row, hot day) was about 5 million times as intense as I remember the Thunder side being when I rode it last year. On the other hand, it is Rough with a capital R, and the speed combined with that roughness led to me actually having a pretty bad headache by the time the ride ended. Granted, there could be other factors that contributed to that, but either way this is a really rough ride.
It’s really fun, but it definitely shows it’s age in how rough and jerky it can be at times. It’s a weird comparison, but it kinda reminds me of Steel...
It’s really fun, but it definitely shows it’s age in how rough and jerky it can be at times. It’s a weird comparison, but it kinda reminds me of Steel Dragon 2000 at Nagashima Spaland in how it’s greatest strengeth is also it’s worst weakness: it legitimately feels like it wants to kill you.

(Note that I rode it during the Halloween event only so far, so I can’t speak for the normal version) I know this is a fairly hot take, but I can’t bring myself it give it anything less than a 5. It’s genuinely one of the most fun and reridable coasters I’ve ever been on, and I actually feel like making it more intense would make it less addicting. The only real con that I can think of is that it could use a tad more airtime.

The new Texas giant opened in 2011 and was the very first RMC ibox conversion,which forever changed the coaster landscape,rides like velocicoaster at IOA and toutatis would not exist without this ride,the new Texas giant was designed by Alan shicke(my life would not be the same without him)its kind of hard to believe that,the majority of his creations are on my bucket list like outlaw run,steel vengeance,x2,lightning rod,anyway,the ride experience starts of with a 90 degree turn into the lift hill,this is one of those rides that I could ride all day and not get tired of it,after the lift hill,you drop at a 79 degree angle which used to terrify me,I'm immune to that now,I actually really enjoy it so much.and then you go into a large bunny hill and then into a 90 degree bank turn,these elements come at you so fast.and then you go into another 90 degree turn and then a 110 degree bank turn, the way the new Texas transitions between its elements shows how talented Alan shilke really is,(I try to worship him every time I get the chance)and then you go into the midcourse break run,and then the rest of the ride feels like what I experience every year at northwest high school,(the high school that I am going to right now)I am always shocked at how this makes me feel.this ride operates with 3 trains,the operations can be hit or miss.as long as this ride isn't on 1 train ops,I will always get in line even if its out the entrance(that usually happens when SFOT gets slammed during Halloween or spring break)
2013-the woman fell out of the NTG,its a very ugly situation.

This is a fantastic coaster to wrap up my visit to Silver Dollar City. The first drop exceeded my expectations because I was looking to compare it to Lightning Rod. Unlike Lightning Rod, the small dip before the actual drop was able to keep its speed, which made the whip in the back row off the first drop really intense. The worst part of the ride is probably at the bottom of the first drop. Just like Lightning Rod, it has a pretty nasty pothole, and I hope they retrack that part. Sure, it can be slightly rough throughout the layout, but I didn't feel like the track vibrated much or had a rattle. Wood coasters are expected to be rougher, but that's the charm because you can feel the track a lot better than a steel one. Great airtime throughout the rest of the layout, although it feels like one of the shorter RMCs. Then capping it off with a double heartline roll led to a fantastic finish. 4.5/5 stars
