I felt that drop. My stomach clenched. Omg 😖😖😖😖

[@jcs1208]

For real

[@bronxnewbie]

😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂

[@woodchuk1]

It’s actually quite a thrill. I don’t “feel” that drop nearly as bad as I have on some other coasters I’ve been on...maybe it has to do with the type of restraints on the ride. The coaster is as smooth as butter and is an absolute blast. Its only problems for me are that it could have used some more elements besides two drops and two Immelmann loops, and it’s very short in duration. But still a great experience!

[@VerboltenTroll]

It’s 5x taller in real life

[@nickie7874]

I'm always floored by these parents who like to inflict fear and horror on their children. My nephew's dad makes him do this and then he comes and tells us how he hates them and how bad they scare him. Great parenting.

[@jjh2456]

Nickie Em how are you going to conquer your fear if you don’t even go on it?

[@nickie7874]

@@jjh2456 This child sounds young for one thing and if you insist on creating fear in a child, at least start with a mellower ride. Kids have all kinds of fears and it's parents job to calm those fears, not make them worse.

[@shelbyw7967]

Nickie Em You’re wrong. It’s the job of the parents to get the child out of their comfort zone and try new things.

[@mikealgiers7852]

this was the first ever roller coaster I’d ever ridden the year it opened. Always a favorite of mine. Last night, I got on it in the dark for the first time as I was there for Howl-o-Scream. It’s infinitely better when you can’t exactly see what’s coming up.

[@tecwzrd]

Very nice B-Roll before the actual coaster ride. Many videos of this ride, but this is one of the best ones. I've been going to BG since 1990 at least once a month, and never get tired of the amazing rides and beauty of the park.

[@bellasalceies4138]

I went on this three times when I was there back in July with my Grandpa. He stayed behind, while I rode it. Let me just say, that the drop is the only thing I love about this ride now :D!

Front seat on the outside seat on the griffon is about the closest you ever get to feeling like a bird! Hanging there waiting with nothing underneath you 🙌🏻 the best 5 seconds of your life!!!

[@stacyhandley7996]

Exact same coaster as the Valraven at Cedar Point, awesome dive coaster, best one I have ever rode!

[@ObvPhotography]

It isn’t the same by any means. Yes they are both B&M dive coasters but the layout is completely different and griffon even comes with a splashdown.

[@mistyrious1111starseed]

I would have screamed but this still does not even compare to Tatsu or especially X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain! Hands down the two most thrilling adrenaline Coasters I have ever been on! X2 is #1 and Tatsu a close second!!
