The Whizzer has height and
speed but it's also a family coaster so you don't have steep drops.
Instead you have a nice long straight drop that gets really fast at
the bottom.
It's not steep but the Whizzer
still is one of my favorite drops because you get some great speed and
at the bottom you have to watch out because Anton put in a nice twist.
Here's the twist! Like
I said the Whizzer gets a bit intense at moments. It's not too
intense though, just some great speed and changes in direction.
Remember...part of the joy
of riding the Whizzer is reaching for leaves.
After the turn the Whizzer
takes you back up for a nice turn and a breather before the great ground
hugging helix.
