I have to say Great Adventure did a great job getting this ride. I can't remember in my limited rides at Great America and America but did it run trimless through the whole course at those parks? Great Adventure is running it that way and dear god it spins insanely once it unlocks to spin through the end. Most cars hit the brake run and are still spinning a good bit before they usually stop backwards and the poor ride ops have to spin them around to unload, LOL.

That is absolutely how it ran at SFGAm. I have yet to find another spinning mouse that spins anywhere near as crazily as that one.

I can't speak for how it ran at SFA.

I had a couple say to me this looks like a kiddie ride. I chuckled internally. They ended up in the car with me as I was a solo and Great Adventure is grouping to move the line. We got done and they said "That is no kiddie ride"

Whole-heartedly agree that it spun like mad in its time at SFGAm, but I have been on some others that spun as nicely (MFI, Beech Bend).

When we hit up SFA last spring (April 2025), it wasn't anywhere near its former self.

Glad to see/hear that it has gotten a new lease on life.

P.S. Pro-tip for maximum spin....put the fat guy (like me) in first on the far edge, and then load by decreasing weight. The side-to-side unbalance can really get things moving.
