InvadR

Riding InvadR on opening a dozen times was definitely smoother than it was three months later. It's just how wooden coasters are.
Seemed fine to me (and my wife and the elementary-age kiddos) in June. Better than ever, really.
I mean... there are two trains. By chance, we only ever got the Bear train. Maybe you got Dragon... maybe it isn't running as well. (Conjecture)
Don't mean to discount your experience on the ride at all, @RollyCoaster.

As we all know, there are a ton of factors that can contribute to ride experience. Everything ranging from weather to the number of people on the train could have caused the variations among everyone’s experiences. And one person’s good is another’s awful, anyway.
My ride on it yesterday in the rain was by far the best ride on InvadR I’ve ever had. The train whipped through the course and had the slightest twinge of that Grizzly-like out-of-control feeling. I don’t know how, but I even felt my stomach drop on the first drop, which is a sensation I haven’t felt on any coaster in years.
It has a great drop, and n my opinion. Sadly, a bit short, but it still is very effective, at least for me.
It’s aging perfectly. You think it’s a small, tame ride. But it packs quite a punch. Maybe it’s short, but wow it’s fun. Totally out of control lol, but offers something completely different than the other coasters at BGW. Very much needed IMO
I rode it on Sunday too. The pacing felt... Brutal, but in a Very good way! Like Joe the drop got me in the gut. I have no data to back this up, but it felt faster then any time in the past.
InvadR is the perfect example of a small coaster that packs a big punch. I love riding it when I visit and this year in particular is my favorite so far.
For sure! It's the first thing I go to every morning! Even with Finnegan's Open, it's still how I love to start my day.
Just got off invadR. Highly recommend riding it in these temps. It was absolutely flying today.
I'm a bit amused at how InvaR has little said about it anymore. Now that real coasters might be on the way. Anywho, Thomas already posted these guys in the San Marco Changes thread, so I thought I'd plug this in here.

InvadR is way better than people give it credit for. The theme is garbage, but it's a great coaster.
The only issue with invadr is that there isn’t more of it.
Without the theme, we wouldn't have the safety video of a viking awkwardly shoving a foam helmet into a locker, which I will always love.
Invadr is an excellent coaster for its size. I'm glad Williamsburg finally has a wooden coaster (well, half-wooden) to call its own!
I cherish this ride. It's such a good punch. Hoping it's the beginning of more woodies for BG.
