They say that a wooden coaster improves with age. That's NOT the case with Hurler. This coaster has gotten progressively rougher over the years that I have simply refused to ride it. I'll ride Rebel Yell, Grizzly and Ghoster Coaster, but NOT Hurler. If Hurler were to get converted to a steel hybrid track like the Texas Giant has been recently transformed into, THEN I'll consider riding Huler once again.

Hurler only makes right handed turns in the course of the coaster. This ride does NOT have any left turns. Strange? Co-inky-dink? You tell me down below.
