    Hey Jacob, you have your roller coasters confused. The Swamp Fox has always been named the Swamp Fox since it opened in 1966 when the park was originally named Grand Strand Amusement Park. The park became Family Kingdom in 1992. The "Red Devil" roller coaster, which was originally painted red, was the original name for the "Cliffhanger" roller coaster at Ghost Town in Maggie Valley, NC.

      @johnchambers8528 3 місяці тому +1

      I noticed your first ride on the Swamp Fox was in the rear. I have ridden many different wooden coasters and always avoid the rear. I always find that the rear cars usually give you the roughest ride and the front the smoothest. Most likely due to the rear cars being pulled the hardest from the energy of the forward cars. The full weight of the train is throwing you around. But is is good to ride in different cars if you ride several times as you can get a different ride experience depending on where you sit in the train.

    • @micoasters
      @micoasters 2 місяці тому +1

      @jeremysutherlin3803 2 місяці тому +2

      @@micoasters It's because the back of the train experiences increased acceleration over hills and around turns, stronger forces of inertia, but if the coaster is the kind where the rear car is on wheels then it's both. Not all coasters have the same track system, but you'll almost always feel like you're moving faster if you take the back car.

    • @thetachiban57
      @thetachiban57 2 місяці тому +1

      ​@@jeremysutherlin3803 Yep, that and wooden coasters will always be a bumpier ride than steel. Wood has imperfections, grain, it expands and contracts from temp and humidity, so you'll just get shaken around a little more than on a steel coaster. I hope we don't lose our old masterpiece wooden coasters. I'm a fan of wood coasters but they're getting more and more expensive to maintain.
