Woodland Run is an aggressive ride with tons that thrill seekers would love but it also manages to not be too intense for a family oriented park like Kentucky Kingdom.



The thrills are unrelenting but half the train doesn't get off shell-shocked like the riders on a coaster like Velocicoaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure do.



Woodland Run is just wickedly fun.  Honestly, the only thing I'd change other than putting Gravity Groups track all over it would be to make it easier to ride.  Woodland Run was designed for two train operation, there were even footers poured for a transfer track for the second train.  Unfortunately, Ed Heart decided to put a building up where the transfer track was to go and one train operations is all this coaster has had since then.  With Kentucky Kingdom on the right track under the leadership of Herschend attendance is just going to grow and a second train will be needed.  Hopefully it happens sooner than later so I can easily get as many rides on Woodland Run as possible.



The looks on all of the riders faces tells how much fun Woodland Run is.



Woodland Run has hair, and riders flying through the air with nothing but huge smiles on their faces showing how good it really is.  It was definitely good to come back to Kentucky Kingdom for more Woodland Run.
