Barrels O' Fun Review

While this ride is currently located at Six Flags Great Adventure as Barrels O' Fun, I have not ridden it there. So I'm reviewing it as it was when I last rode it as Ragin Cajun at Six Flags America. Another fun fact. Before that, it was located at Six Flags Great America, and I also rode it there. We get into our cars and away we go. We roll through a turn and head up the lifthill. You head off the lifthill and into a turn. You're not spinning yet. We'll get to that later. So right now, it's just like an ordinary Wild Mouse. The Switchbacks arn't that great as there's not that much whip and the laterals arn't comfortable. After the switchbacks, you head into a small drop and back up the small hill. This is fun. We then head into the biggest drop of the ride. WEE!!! We then head into some double up thing which sadly, but not suprisingly, has no airtime. We then jolt around another turn and head into the second set of switchbacks. However as we head straight into them, we begin to spin. And on Barrels O' Fun, you spin FAST!!! HOLY CRAP!!! YOU SPIN SO F*CKING FAST ON THIS RIDE!!! I actually couldn't see where we were going. Now THAT makes for a good spinning mouse ride. After a couple switchbacks, we head through one last turn, and then we head into a small drop. That small drop is actually f*cking insane thank's to the ride's insane spinning. I seriously think that this ride smoked crack because it was awesome. You then spin through a couple bumps. Then you head through one last turn and head into the brakerun. Stacking here is fine since your car is still spinning and considering how fast we were spinning, we've got a while before our spinning dies down. Barrels O' Fun is a FANTASTIC spinning mouse ride that really knows how to spin. I'm hoping that this trend of insane spinning continues in New Jersey, as it did in Maryland and Illinois. If you're a fan of Spinning Mice, or anything spinning related I'd recommend riding it if the line isn't huge.
