Here's the Zippin Pippin's lift hill and first drop.

Here the Zippin Pippin flies over one of it's hills on the out part of the course.  The little hill in front of it is the killer airtime hill.  The two little girls called it the "crotch basher" but Bond and I called it the more aptly named "nut buster" as you will get racked when the airtime ejects you up into the restraints.  You can't avoid this extreme force anywhere on the train but the third row of the first car was just terrifying.  In fact Bond and I rode it once there before swearing off of that seat ever again.

After that hill you're pretty much left in a daze when you pull into the station.  This coaster has such power, force and an unrelenting pace I can easily say that this is the best new wood coaster in years.

I have to put my list together but I have no doubt that the Zippin Pippin is on my top ten list and just might be in the top five as it is just that good.
