I like it. More than the other Arrow hyper I've ridden (you know which one that is).
I like the first drop into the tunnel. I like the second long, gradual drop. I like the three huge bunny-hops. I like the indoor helix. I like being able to look down into the arcade while you're sitting on the train, waiting for the ride to start. Heck, I like the awesome selection of music games at that arcade.
And it feels like reclining on a feather pillow compared to Manhattan Express (which I also like). ;)

You said, "I'm gonna run you down." I heard, "I'm an orangutan."
I was at Buffalo Bills last June. I purchased an unlimited ride ticket, but only rode Deperado 3 times. It hurt so bad tht I was bruised for days. I rode in the front, middle and back trying to find the most comfortable ride. None to be found. I was out there in 1998 and the ride was very smooth.
Has anyone else had any problems with the ridiculous dispatch procedure they have here, where they won't send the train out until the entire thing is filled up. My wife and I were there in early Jan. and had to wait nearly a half hour in the cold until they finally sent us out. I could understand maybe waiting until half the train fills up or waiting a set amount of time before dispatching but this was ridiculous. BTW, I too thought that the ride was pretty rough. We only rode it in the back and thought that maybe it might have been smoother up front but it sounds like that isn't the case. *** Edited 3/16/2004 5:06:12 AM UTC by Pale Rider***
It has not aged very gracefully, I'll say. I rode it in it's first year and it absolutely rocked! Rode it last year and noticed it wasn't smooth anymore.:( Oh well. But I will still take a ride whenever I'm in the area.
Pale Rider: Yes, when I was there in November, we waited in the train for nearly 20 minutes before they sent it out. However, NO MORE PEOPLE came to ride during those 20 minutes. Annoying.
Moosh: Wha' happen?

WHAT?!!? does NOT come from just *any* TV show, it comes from one of the funniest TV shows in years....
Honestly, barring *cartoons* (Family Guy, Futurama, ATHF, Harvey Birdman), Chappelle's Show has left me in tears more than anything in the last few years...hysterical.
BUT....I have to ask.....did you get to ride that interactive log flume....no ouch, just PURE fun! :)
edit: After something THAT good, you need to find a loosey....;) *** Edited 3/16/2004 3:28:46 PM UTC by rollergator***
You still have Zoidberg.... You ALL have Zoidberg! (V) (;,,;) (V)
I can only guess Den is referring to the old Steel Phantom, since Maggie CAN'T be ranked below Despy....or can it? ;)

It's not my phrase, actually...come's from a TV show. And what off-season? I live in LA, we don't have an off-season ;)
Yeah!
