The lift is really pleasant and relaxing.  You get to enjoy the breeze from Lake Michigan, enjoy the scenery and have fun with friends and family.

There's currently three trains on the Whizzer but when it premiered it had five trains.  The line never stops now with three trains but it must have really flown with five trains.  I believe that Six Flags has two of the trains off each year for a rehab.  One of the trains this year had a super makeover and looked almost brand new with a great paint job.  I bet that with the outpouring of support for the Whizzer the whole ride gets a nice makeover.

Bond has his normal "serious" ride face on.  He's a very curious and inquisitive boy and loves checking everything out and figuring how it works.

Ok, this is the last picture of Carrie and Bond on the ride, I'm just so thrilled that Bond rode and loved the Whizzer.  Even a week later he keeps coming up to me and says "Ride Whizzer again".
