Well this was a ride from last year, but I just got to say overall best family coaster outside of Disney I've been on. Really Ffun! Also The Motorcycle company Orange County Coppers made a bike for the park[The ride's name is Orange County Coppers moto coaster] There was also a episode about the bike which alo talk about the park and the ride. If you are a fan of the tv show on tlc or a moto cycle fan go check out this ride! The bike they made for the park also is awesome. Will post some pictures when I go again this season.

I work on its 2 week younger brother, Pony Express  The first 2 coasters of their kind in America. How extensive is the layout for the OCC coaster, for Pony has a very basic figure eight layout. The best part our ride is the pony-themed trains

thanks, couldn't find it on RCDB, i guess a wrong search.
How is it? is it smooth? I only have done the vekoma one at toverland that one is really rough at some points
But it looks nice, only feels a bit like a rollercoaster for a fair (transpotable) becoase of the supports.

It's really smooth, and this one also kinda feels like a carnival ride. Just search six flags and go down to darien lake
Also the layout is real simple, the photo below shows it really well. There is also some themeing on the other side of the ride including a Orange County Choppers store with a Darien Laked themed motorcycle. The store is there because they are motorcycle makers who lent their name to this ride. There are also some race themed stuff near the entrance.

Wow, our ride is sad compared to that. Our theming seems better, but it only lasts 32 seconds.
And yep, Vekoma came up with the motorbike coaster with the backbar concept, but Zamperla took it and ran with it

I don't think it will give the real motorbike feeling because it's got the turns so high of the ground
