    I went on this coaster (along with several others) with my high school. This was the first one we went on. I liked it because of the fact that it looks cool and was my first go on an (actually large) roller coaster. My only complaint is that it is very bumpy and it kinda hurt my back. Was it worth it? Yes. But the seats could do with some cushioning.
