Built in, around, over and through a natural limestone quarry, the Rattler launches you from the station and up a lift that stands 180 feet above the park. After a slight speed bump, you hit the first drop of 166 feet and begin the quick acceleration up to 73 m.p.h. This is at a 61 degree angle too, bonzer!

But don't relax yet, as you hit a wide and steeply banked fan turn to the left, setting the wood afire as you careen up what resembles a lift hill, but instead is sort of a natural break run that leads you into a curious triple helix that winds and dips and shakes you as the trains pick up more and more speed.

The second drop is probably the most alarming, with sudden velocity, the trains dip right into the side of the quarry and emerge into the sunlight to negotiate some more disorientating dips before returning to the station.

At 2 minutes and 15 seconds and over 5000 feet of track, the Rattler is not just another snake in the grass. Once you're bitten, you're hooked.
