Comments

If we were grading rides based off of the first ten seconds, this would be the best ride in Missouri.  You go from 0-60 in a matter of seconds, and then emerge on top of a hill, getting an incredible view of the Ozark terrain.  It's not about how you start though, it's how you finish.  Besides the first launch and hill, this ride doesn't have the amount of thrill and uniqueness to make it the best ride in the state.  The rest of the ride has some low-to-the-ground turns, big hills, and a lift hill at the end that leads to a big drop.  But you gotta be relentless all the way through to be #1. This is still truly a great ride experience and I believe the 3rd best roller coaster in Missouri.
