Swamp Fox is now running as I described it in my 2020 review. My 2022 rides occurred on opening day, which was understandably cooler than most days for this park. Swamp Fox also was retracked shortly after that and it's running better per locals who have ridden it year-after-year.

I go here every year. But I remember when was like 4 when my parents took me and my brother to hard rock park for a day. I remember riding some kids flat rides and playing in this ball play place kinda like the one at Universal studios. happy I had the chance to go here, even if I was 4 years old.

My grandparents lived only blocks away from the Pavilion amusement park in Myrtle Beach. But we'd sometimes patron Family Kingdom.🥰 Swamp Fox was my very 1st coaster ride @ 5 years old back in 1974!!! 🎢😂 My mom always tells a story how she almost lost me during the first drop! 😬😳 I've been riding coasters ever since. 🥰🎢 Hoping to hit SFOG sometime before month's end. It was a little too cold for me back in March.🥶 As always, thanks for your groovy posts, and the great work.👍🏾☺️👊🏾

Where haven't you been yet?😂...i rode the wooden coaster at or near where the Pavaillion Amusement park was located. I don't remember the name of it, but it was fairly legit! I was younger and not as an enthusiast now. I was laughing when one of ElToroRyan's very recent videos shows him waiting in his car and he says, "Let's see what Canobie Coasters posted today"😂😂😂😂

Ive been to splashes. The tall body slides are about on par with the tall body slides at wild water & wheels but the overall park is way too small and doesnt offer anything besides a small lazy river and a few slides. I visited Freestyle Music Park back in 2008 when I was 8. Ive ridden everything but its hard to tell where Time Machine ranks since i thought it was the best thing ever due to me being 8. And i didnt ride Swamp Fox until my 2nd visit to myrtle. But I think the Slingshot was my favorite there

I rode Swamp Fox in October 2020, and it would seem that I got the weaker version of it. I still enjoyed it, certainly my favorite ride in my limited experience in the area, but nowhere near as strong as its reputation. It was rough, but not terrible. The park was so busy that day. So on those hamster wheel cars, are you saying that it's a better ride in the 2nd wheel back, not the front one? I have only ridden the version with one hamster wheel.
@CanobieCoaster2 жыл бұрын
The operator told me the second wheel spun more. I don't know if that's the same on the others.

Did you get a chance to get on Air Strike? I haven't been back to Myrtle Beach since my lone visit in 2014, but I remember that ride being awesome. It's still the only propeller type ride I've ever done so I'm not sure how good it is compared to other models. I also did prefer it to Swamp Fox, but I don't really remember much about the coaster. I do remember that the track was green back then lol

I did not, but it's a similar ride to Speed. I suspect Air Strike would've placed 3rd or 4th.

I rode Swamp Fox back in 2008, and it was a top tier classic woodie (in the realm of Phoenix, Comet at Hershey etc). It was smooth with plenty of forces all around. Fast forward to 2021 and it was one of the most rough and bone jarring coasters that I ever been on. I unfortunately rode in the worst seating, the farthest in the back. This current neglected abomination of Swamp Fox wouldn't even make my top 200 coasters; it plummeted that hard. It needs desperate TLC to bring it back to it's former glory!

It was tolerable if I avoided a wheel seat.

@@CanobieCoaster can confirm that if you sat in the middle of the car (aka non wheel seats) it was much more enjoyable. However because of the buzz bars it’s just more comfortable than most woodies

As a rider from this year, it’s definitely much smoother than it used to be. Back in 2021 when I went on it for my first time, I hurt my back pretty bad and I neglected going on one more time.. but this year I went for it, definitely paid off. Most fun thing ever! The company who must’ve revamped it absolutely NAILED it, because the description of the 2008 riding from your comment definitely was a good description of my experience. I love the ride now, and I think its status as a top tier classic woodie is back up there.
