"Always have loved this rollar coaster. However, the older I get, the more this ride beats me up. Lol. Probably will not ride it again but I have great memories."
"This roller coaster is definitely the best wooden coaster in California (besides good striker) when they are running both trains the wait time is only around 5-9 minutes if it’s outside in the switchbacks. I got on it 9 times within 4 hours and rode a lot more rides too. This was also my very first rollercoaster I ever went on. It isn’t too scary. Pretty mild first drop and an insane amount of airtime in all rows. The tunnel at the beginning is also really fun. Definitely recommend for everyone to try especially if your scared of them because it will change your opinion on coasters."
"Yeah you gotta get on this old ancient 100 year old wonder. A fun ride that you will feel. Any wooden coaster will be sure to knock you around and you feel everything in the cart! That’s part of the ride! I wore the lap belt not as tight as I should have….oh man, every dip! I lifted off my seat! Not the way you should ride this thing! Place it tight or ask for help lol."
"Took my first ride as a child 50+ years ago. Took my most recent rides (2) yesterday. It has a great combination of excitement and nostalgia. The engineering still amazes me, considering it is 100 years old. Awesome ride"
"What a fun classic roller coaster!! This thing is almost 100 years old, and relatively smooth! There was no back breaking moments, just a couple rickety moments but not painful at all. The coaster had a lot of hills and turns and was very fun to ride."
