Watch out for that first hill !!! A hobo jumps out of nowhere and punches you in the face! Such a thrill!!!

Aaron Bort

Pretty smooth ride if you ride in a middle row of any car.

Erin Tuttle

Classic...but ouch! Has gotten rougher over the years. Fun to "race" though.

Aaron Bort

Ride in a middle row of any car for a smoother ride.

NOT a duplicate venue. Stop flagging and deleting this!!! The Racer is comprised of two different rides.

Rollocks

The last seat is a rougher ride than the front.

Katherine Crawford

Doesn't seem as rough as the blue one, and usually wins

Dan N

Really wanna go backwards

Brett Travis

If they only have one train on one side operating, you're in for a long wait .

Billy Fairchild

Wish they still had one go backwards !

Andrew Wolf

SUPER jerky ! Don't say I didn't worn you!

Katherine Crawford

Usually loses. It seems like they're intentionally braking the train after half has left the station...

Eric Halsey

Red always wins

Liz McCauley

Classic. No longer has the backwards coaster. They TRY to race both sides, but the operators aren't very coordinated. Also rough - being a wooden coaster .

Fun little ride. The end is a bit anticlimactic. It's a little rough for a steel coaster. - Dan Mejak

This has always been one of my favorites. The video they play during the line is really old and super cheesy, but the ride is awesome! - Amber
