Hi All,
Just got back from taking my Family to SDC this weekend. Yes,
we rode BOTH the new coasters at SDC this weekend. After an
hour wait till they finally allowed people into the ride,we were
about the fourth group out. The ride doesn't look all that intimmidating
because it doesn't look that tall. However, looks are decieving. Powder
Keg is built into the side of a hill and it is taller than it looks. All I can
say is wow! The launch was phenominial! Right into a negative G hill.
The coaster itself is very smooth and was very exciting to ride. My
17 year old son spent most the day riding between this and the
other new one Wildfire.
Wildfire is like a ride with the Blue Angels and you have no control.
Lot's of loops, near verticle drops and other fun stuff I don't know
the technical jargon for. If you are in Branson, Mo this summer
they are worth the ride. If you are coming in special just for these
two coasters I'd probably stay closer to home and save the money.
SDC isn't your typical theme park. it has lots of shows, crafts and
tons of food. It does not boast a lot of addreline pumping rides....
