Yes I loved it :D It lived up to my expectations and it is a much better addition to CW than I originally thought. The only bad thing I could say about the ride was the queue. I waited almost 2 hours for it and thats a long time for any ride at CW. I'm still debating where in my top 10 it will go...I'm thinking somewhere above TTD and below Maverick.

When I was there I had the fast lane. I got on 4 times in 20 minutes. My 3rd time going up the stairs I got so many dirty looks of people who had barely moved in line.

Totally worth it.

You can add skyrush leviathan and Verboltens's to my list. Shambhala as well unless I get spiteful both days
 
Coasters:
2006-Runaway Train in Ocean City, NJ
2011-The Green Lantern at Great Adventure
2012-Goliath at Six Flags New England
 
As far as I know:

2004: Spinball Whizzer
2005: Rita
2009: Terminator Salvation
2010: Joris en de Draak
2010: Th13teen, KOBRA
2011: Ben 10
2012: Wodan, The Swarm
 
Not many unfortunately:

Hurakan Condor
Nemesis: Sub-Terra
Ice Age 4D
Th13teen
Shambhala
Rita

SAW: The Ride

Can't think of any more off the top of my head :( shall be doing a lot more soon though, including adding The Swarm to the list eventually.
 
Rock n' Rollercoaster - 1999
RC-48 (Morey's Piers) - 2000
Tsunami / J2 / Hellcat - 2004

Anything built in Great Adventure after the year 2000. Possibly adding Verbolten and Apocalypse (East) to the list, money's tight at the moment so I don't really know.

EDIT Woops forgot RRR, even in my coaster count .-.
