COASTERS

This is a must do when visiting the park. If you get there early wait the extra time for the front or the back. Most people prefer the front as you go up the spiral a lot more, but the back has you hanging for 1 second 180 feet in the air!
This is an excellent addition to the Great America coaster count !!!!!!!
