so i have scholiosis & i went on this ride , but when i rode in the front , i was in utter PAIN . but when i sat in the second to last cart , i didn`t feel a thing . so i guess anyone with a bad back should try that because it worked for me (ironic , i thought it`d be worse)
This coaster needs to be reprofiled, similar to the Texas Giant, but keeping it all wooden, just to make it smoother again. Non-the-less, still a great coaster, but my favorite is the Cyclone at the front of the park, now that is a killer, I might hurt afterwards but it's worth it, lol!
@FreshFilmReviews Sounds to me like they were stuck in front of straight people.
Anyways, this ride was so rough after the flood a few years ago, but they re-tracked in between the hills last off-season. It was absolutely wonderful. And photogenic to boot!
I had to wait for 40 minutes, since they were running 1 train, but we were stuck behind gay guys, and yes they were holding hands. Its a fun airtime woody though!
@nightmare34953 - Your comment was posted 2 weeks ago, but maybe this is a possibility, maybe they have fixed it since you've been or something, 'cause I went today and it wasn't that bad, but maybe it's just me, and it also depends on where you sit, I think I was in the middle-ish.

I honestly hate wooden roller coasters. I mean, I have never been on a smooth one... anyone ever been on an actual smooth wooden one? if not, then I rest my case.
@jasonw13486 oh wow ur leaving hershey park, kennywood, and dorney park, 3 parks that i rlly wanna go 2 well hav u been 2 any and if so how awesum were they (and dnt worry SFOG is awesu 2) =)
yeah this is my fav ride at the time but i cnt believe i dint ride it till last year becuz 4 3 yearz i punked out trying 2 ride this i just got intimidated by the drop but turned out i wuz missing on an awesum ride and i love all that airtime yu get ;)
Oh, and thanks for putting all of the (high definition, at that, which is awesome) videos on here of all of the rides. A family member can't ride these coasters without getting sick. It's good to be able to show her what they are like without getting on it.
This coaster is a lot smoother than say...The Georgia Cyclone. I love the sign at 2:04. "At sound of horn you have 3 min to clear the tracks". The whole ride is ending at 2:04, and that's including going out of the station, up the lift hill, etc. 3 min? They've got to be kidding. You'd be dead by 2 minutes...
@Coasternator Looks can be deceiving. I've ridden this coaster hundreds of times and I can't count how often I've gotten off feeling as if I'd been in a car accident lol.
@JulianneSparrow2 Actually look at Rattler built 1992 and way rougher than this look up Judge Roy Scream and it is as old but still alot rougher this is one of the smoothest oldest rides.
Go on the Mean Streak at Cedar Point in northern Ohio, every time I get off of it it feels like someone took a jackhammer and a concrete buster to my entire back and head. It's HORRIBLE. xD
Ride this ride for all I care, but please oh please dear lord PLEASE DON'T SIT IN THE 3RD ROW!!! I hated this ride because of that, until I sat front row, then I loved it!
I look forward to making a southern trip to this park in 2012. (I am from New Jersey). But after watching this POV, I realized this is a larger version of Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake Park. I really enjoyed it.
i rode this at age 8 and never rode another roller coaster until i was 14 because this one was so bad

It's in a great part of the park. The only thing is that it will beat the crap out of you. About as bad to your back as the Cyclone is.
