It's my #1 as well, finally knocking Thunderbolt out of the top spot. The dueling/racing makes the ride that much more fun, especially when you know someone in the opposing train. I can't wait to get back to Hershey and ride it again.
Its amazing. An all in all great ride with just about everything i could want in a coaster. The fact that its in a great park doesn't hurt either.

Its smooth as butter. Well, really lumpy butter. Its smooth but the wildly twisted track design makes it rock and roll like a great coaster should.

I'd have to agree about those trains. From looking at pictures, I seriously wondered how possibly smooth it could be. Well, let's just say I was very pleasantly surprised.
It's a great ride. I don't really keep top ten lists or anything like that, and Knoebel's Phoenix is currently my favorite wooden coaster, but Lightning Racer would definitely be high on my list. Possibly #2. :)
I love the MF trains they are soo soft and comfy very open extremely smooth, I don't see why you don't like them. Lightning Racer is my #1 wooden coaster and y #7 overall coaster.
