- Actually, I am embarrassed to admit this, but I didn't *loathe* the Grizzly.
-
- I realized right off that it wasn't going to be much of a coaster, but
- I had heard about the ACErs who rode it with bags over their heads, &etc,
- so I was set for a deep disappointment.
-
- It was a regular family coaster.
-
-
- When I got off the Grizzly, I started making plans of where things could
- be changed to improve the ride. When I got off the American Eagle, the
- only thing I wanted to do was take a bulldozer to the entire structure!!
-
- ...and not just *hire* the bulldozing crew; I wanted to *drive* the lead
- bulldozer!!
