That's so true!
I would much rather have a shorter, more intense ride, than a long, slow, and rough one.
I doubt very many women would tell you that.
I've been lurking the forum for a few years. I thought I might as well make a post on my favorite amusement park. Unlike a lot of people, I was somewhat unaffected by the roughness of the old Rattler and actually enjoyed it a lot for a while. Of course that was before I knew of what GOOD wooden coasters were like. I liked the old Rattler for the unique bits that it had going for it. I loved the dives off of the side of the cliff and that last, final, exhilarating plunge into the tunnel. Occasionally I would actually get some pretty good air time! That didn't happen often, but still... The parts I HATED it for were the slow, boring bits where you got shuffled around more than a fat kid during an earthquake. I'm glad they kept so much of the original structure. I'm surprised how much is still there. I was a little disappointed that this couldn't stay a wooden coaster, just redone with topper track. HOWEVER, I was immensely surprised at how good the ride looks. I can also understand that they needed to market this as a totally new ride. Either way, the ride looks great. I personally think it looks better than NTAG, although that may just be me being biased. By the way, that last bit of track standing by the station... If you look at it just right, there is actually room for a camelback or an overbank right before the breaks. I can't wait to ride!
