Really? That aint but about an less than hour worth of wait. Stealth only gets about 1000 rider in an hour. The Saturator is even worst with only 600.

Do you think it will be worth the wait?

Based on Reptar, no.

And of course it's always a great idea to compare a large, looping, lie-down coaster to a small inverted family coaster.

What in the heck is that supposed to mean? There is no comparison between Reptar and the Flyer!

Vekoma Roughness Illness? Is that the technical term for headbanging now?

The only ride that I got on Reptar this year was so rough it wasn't funny. When I rode it, the PKI version didn't have all the banging and rattling of our Reptar. I even had a few people in our group say the same thing. I just remarked it was getting us ready for next year when the grown up Vekoma comes.

Ok, I didn't know the PKI version was smoother.

Yes, PKI has a version of Reptar, it was the first one to open.

PKI got the first Runaway Reptar. PCW has one but its not Reptar themed. Its called Silver Streak. (Wild Adventures has one called Swamp Thing.)
