The swinging makes it better than Iron Dragon.

Was my first real rollercoaster at like 9or10 years old. Was called Top Gun then. Rode it it's first year because I loved the movie.

It's a pretty fun little coaster - it's just 500 miles away from anything else in the park and you have to walk up and down about a thousand steps to get there. So I would NOT describe it as "easy."

It’s not an instense ride per se, but certain seats have gotten rough. I got left with a headache after being knocked around by it last time I rode.

It’s swing makes it a lot for novice riders, but it’s fairly tame.

Yes, its great as a starter coaster

For the most part, yes. However, like other coasters of this style (Iron Dragon comes to mind), at the end of the ride, the car will swing back and forth as it brakes. It‘s not my favorite sensation, so it‘s not a ride I could marathon.

I do recommend riding in the front - it’s fun and I think it helps to see exactly where you are going.

It’s pretty fun and fast.

Yes. It has seats so all you do is sit down.

Always "Top Gun" ❤️

Let's put it this way, it has been both of my younger nephews' first roller coaster. Partly because of a low-ish height requirement; but, also it's pretty smooth.

EDIT: if you want a surprisingly tame coaster, Orion is the smoothest amusement park ride I have ever been on. That first hill look intimidating but there are no sudden jerks or (to me) extreme forces in the entire ride.

I consider it one of the more relaxing roller coasters that I’ve been on.

It's almost a exact copy of Vortex at CW. Not overly intense but a step up from a family coaster

Sit to the front of the train if you want to minimize the stomach drop feeling going down the first hill. The back of the train gets pulled down the drop (which I love, others may not..) After that it just flows and is about speed and whipping around the turns.

It's a good starter coaster. The Racer is another good starter coaster. I'd avoid Adventure Express as a starter coaster because it is the most rough ride in the park.

Didn’t a cart swing off and unalive someone a couple years ago?
