Grab the bull by the horns and take a turn on this modern wooden ride. It’s one of the steepest drops in the world for a wooden coaster and reaches 70 MPH! Get more thrills at http://binged.it/QjZ1sp

An extremely intense roller coaster. From the very fast lift hill to the airtime, this ride is a force to be reckoned with. Skydiving has nothing to it. The adrenaline rush you get is overwhelming

Ride in the back and make sure your seat belt is securely fastened!!! You'll catch air beyond your wildest imagination. If you dare, wave your hands in the air! There's a reason this coaster is #1!

Fast and smooth wooden rollercoaster. Watch out for the Gestapo like security that won't let you ride with your phone or keys in your pockets.

You should try it! All my friends loved this ride, but I didn't since the seats are uncomfortable and I felt like I got whiplash.

Don't let the "long" like deceive you. The line moves in spurts. HUGE spurts. Even with 1 train operation. The line moves quickly!

Amazing ride! Sit in the front row to get smack in the face by the force of the wind or sit in the back to feel the force of the gravity.

Hands down the best coaster in the park. The back row is my favorite overall. The very front holds it's own pretty well also. Overall, no dead seats on the train.

The best parts of the ride are the tight turns near the end. You actually feel like you're riding a bull.
