I remember when it came out…”tallest, most intense wooden coaster in the Nation.” then, San Antonio got the Rattler and beat it. now, wooden coasters seem so anachronistic, I have no idea why anyone would spend any money building them. It’s more like a Steam Punk idea than something modern.

@kellyk, no kidding. I was working for an SFOT contractor at the time and we watched the thing go up.

I loved that coaster but I always wished it had more leg room. Topping two meters makes for painful knees after most of these ride but especially this one!
