EXPERIENCE THE TIMBERWOLF

As I sit in the red car of this great coaster, I am jerked back and forth up the slow lift hill. As I reach the top and turn the corner, I look over to my right and stare at the Mamba's monstorous shadow upon me. Then I Look to my left and see the RipCord as well as the rest of WOF. I then look forward and prepare to fall. My mouth opened wide as I scream and I fall toward the ground. I am then thrown up another hill and make a quick U-Turn as the cars are turned horizontally. Down and under the Wolf's lift hill almost hitting my hands on the wooden structure above me. Up and around into the TWolf's 540 degree helix. Great part of the coaster. The car is then quickly taken back and around the same course, except a little lower than before. Up one last hill and down around the foot of the lift hill the train streaks by. Through the Trees and around back into the station with a very sudden stop. My ride on this one of a kind wooden coaster was great. This is a ride that I will never get enough of.
