- They re-profiled a few of the drops and super-elevations during the
- 1991-1992 winter season. The result?? A Top 5 woodie!! *Severe*
- airtime can now be found on 8 of the 11 drops. I love this coaster
- (my former #1...now #2). *definitely* recommended (i can't figure
- out if the front or the back is a better ride?!)!

- Actually, it was the expansion of the "kiddie" section of the park (which
- also is cited for raising the attendace at Cedar Point!).
