      What a great first coaster. I feel like these wooden ones prepare you for the beastly world class coasters well. A lot of thrill but not so much as to overwhelm you entirely on your first ride, and you end up wanting to ride something larger after this. My first was a lot like this one: The Arkansas Twister at Magic Springs.

    • @oneandonlysound3453
      @oneandonlysound3453 Рік тому

      White Lightning is better, but namely because it is retracked and so well-taken care of.
      Mine Blower is awesome but it needs retracking, the part with the double-up right after the turn out of the inversion is as many call a "pothole" at this point.
      Not that it stopped me from riding it several times any day I'm there but in general it's lost about 1-2 re-rides out of roughly 5 since it opened, shame on them for rushing for the opening date, or else it probably would still be fine. The timberliner trains do help though.

      @Howlingburd19 6 років тому

      So Florida’s constantly humid climate often makes it really bad for wooden roller coasters because the brutal weather almost “wears down” the wood. When the wood gets all “beat up” it makes a rougher ride; that’s probably why the track looks like it’s aging badly. But I heard this is only exception to that statement about Florida and rough woodies.
