I’m a huge fan of Gold Striker. It may be rough, but it adds to the experience in my opinion

I would agree!

It seems like 2024 was a bit of an off year for Gold Striker. I was kinda underwhelmed by it, and my friend that rode it with me said it was way worse than he remembered.

[@808CoasterLife]

My friend rode it in 2019 and 2024 and he said it ran better this year. Although, I kinda expected it to be a little smoother after being partially re-tracked 2 years ago.

Best night ride in California--Yes even better than Ghost Rider imo

Good to know! The park closed before it got dark but I’m sure in the winter this has good night rides!
