The thing this ride is most famous for is the Jim 'll Fix It cub scout moment. For those who've never seen it, a group of cub scouts where allowed to attempt to eat there pack lunches on the ride, with hilarious messy results. A moment later recreated for charity by members of the European Coaster Club with Cream Cakes and Chocolate milkshakes. If you look at one of the photos carefully you can make out a cream cake falling from the car.

This ride is basically a launched coaster, that is launched off the station, around the loop to a substation, where it is relaunched backwards. A reminder of how much I miss the Thunder Looper. It's a very basic layout, which isn't that big a surprise considering it was the first steel coaster to be built in this country that featured an inversion.

The drop after the launch is very intense, as your launched down it at a high speed. It's not a brilliant memorably ride but it provides a good amount of thrilling intensity. Good but not brilliant.
