It also depends on where you sat. Being in the first car wasn't too bad but being in the second meant you were subjected to more of the G-forces. There were a couple of times where it felt like you were being yanked through track elements instead of coasting through them.
Not sure if it's good representation of a ride where you have to build up a tolerance to come out feeling okay.
It's such a prominent part of the skyline from outside and inside the park it will be odd when it's gone. I liked watching it from the parking garages or seeing a glimpse of it from the highway. Definitely one of the things I look for when locating the park from afar. Maybe the replacement will have a similar peak like the current lift hill so something will fill in that part of the skyline again.
I'll probably squeeze in a couple of more rides just for old times sake.
