Generally considered to be amongst the worst wooden coasters in the U.S. by enthusiasts, The Grizzly (Fizzly) disappoints after the first big drop. The first turnaround coming of the first hill is so slow you could play a hand of cards before it picks up speed on the next drop, which is unfortunately pretty much the last drop of size for the ride. The rest of the ride consists of a bumpy, painful course out and back with curves but no steep drops nor the airtime of most wooden coasters (Gold Striker or Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk's superb Giant Dipper.)

PROs: It's wooden structure is pleasing to the eye. It offers a nice view of the other much better coasters in the park.

CONs: It's unpopularity makes this ride easy for the park to ignore and the lack of maintenance makes the coaster bumpy and painful for the average rider. Ride crew has no interest in short dispatch times, so even when lines are shorter than the other coasters, the wait is still as long.

I think it should be given the RMC treatment like Roar at SFDK, now known as The Joker. Please!
