It doesn't give "Massive" airtime but in the back seat is really nice! It is one of my favorites and a short drive from Il/In border at 3 1/2 hours.

Ive always loved that ride, I hope I get to go on it soon, it looks fun. However, Thunderhead at Dollywood looks abit better and more exciting.

That ride gives so much air time, it is crazy, especially in back row. The first, second, third all give massive air time in back. It is my number 2 wooden coaster only behind Avalanche.

Shivering Timbers is one of the best wooden coasters i have been on... great airtime in any seat, but the back row is probably the best.

that ride is awesome. I flew out of my seat so many times when I rode it. Experience it in different seats though, i think back gives you more air time.

Anyone going to Timbers Fest this year (with A.C.E.)? It's June 16, I might be going, if it's really close enough to make just a day trip.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

I liked Shivering Timbers, it gives decent airtime and has the weirdest helix ever plus the trick track was awesome
