Really fun. Some great roller coaster features

Love the Nitro CirKus trail. Nice berms that that let you flow. Nice drop leading to a sweet floaty jump. My only complaint is access. Not a fan of the technical ascents to reach this trail. I wish they had a better connector trail!

Great trail, super fast and flowy with some loose and rowdy sections mixed in! Having accessed from both sides would recommend accessing via the Watchtower side, much more enjoyable ride.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
