I ride this in June, 2024 and it is the most painful rollercoaster I have been on out of over fifty. It has terrible potholes also. I rode in the second row. Definitely do not get on if you are over 30 years old or even if you have just have a history of pulled muscles in your back! Yes the length, speed, and height of the Boss are all impressive, but it either needs to be repaired or changed to an RMC. I feel like the wrong person getting on it could wind up with spinal injuries. Ask yourself, do I want to risk it for the credit? Personally, I would not have ridden it if I had known how it would feel... Even though I enjoy the roughness of Judge Roy Scream, Frontier City's Wildcat, and SDC's Thunderation. The best part was that it really took advantage of the landscape and is very fast. So, the trees and...
Read moreI rode this coaster more than most people have in 2007 and back then I would have rated 5 stars. It wasn't a horrible experience and back then was always a personal favorite.

Six Flags is missing out on a hidden jewel by not fixing the issues that have developed. I'm not going to ride this coaster again because of how much the ride has deteriorated. I'm sad to watch this Boss head into retirement. Only people who can stop it is management and I don't think...
Read moreIt has all the stats in its favor. It is the tallest complete circuit coaster in the park, is the longest in the park, and is the biggest wooden coaster at the park, in all records. But, Size and stats do not ensure quality. This ride was built 15 or so years ago (as of 2016) and is in desperate need of re-tracking or a Total RMC Iron Horse Makeover. The ride is VERY bumpy and rough, and the restraints, although being lap bars, has un-cushioned, nearly sharp metal bars, placed on the outsides of both legs. I came off with scratches on my outer legs. It is in the back of the park for a reason, because it is large, yet inferior to most other rides...
