And, sadly, I never got to ride it ... seeing as how it closed in 2011 and the big move to this neck of the woods/sands wasn't until 2014. But I did look at it fondly every time we passed it (up until it was no longer there) ... as it reminded me of the great wooden coasters of my youth (specifically the Comet at Hersheypark and the Phoenix at Knoebel's [honorable mention to the Thunderhawk at DorneyPark and the Mean Streak at CedarPoint]). Now it's finally been torn down to make way for a "downtown main street" style shopping and entertainment complex.
That which always made me wonder why there was never anyone riding it every time I saw it, you will be missed.
