This triple
out and back woodie from International Coasters, Inc. is situated a short
distance from the daunting Fury 325.
Seating two across in 14 rows for a total ride capacity of 28, the train
makes a slight right turn from the loading station, ascends an 83-foot lift
hill, makes a wider right turn and drops 80 feet. This is followed by two consecutive drops,
another right banked turn, two more drops, yet another right turn, drop and
right turn. It features a suberabundance
of right turns.
The ride
experience is essentially as could be anticipated from a coaster of this
design. There are some decent pops of
airtime and although the maximum speed is only 50mph, it feels as if it’s going
along at a pretty good clip. And yes,
it’s a bit rough in spots. However,
interestingly enough, it is not as rough as Hurler at Kings Dominion despite
the fact that both coasters are identical in layout and manufacture.
Hurler is
an OK intermediate coaster for those who would prefer not to take on the
challenge of aggressive thrill rides such as Fury 325 and Intimidator. 2 ½ out of 5 stars. For more information about rides
