  • 1.  Frank' N Coaster... Is it worth it?

    Posted 16 days ago

    Hello all!

    I am planing on visiting CW on May 15th and part of the 16th. I am debating on leaving the park before close and making the drive to Niagara to get a ride on Frank' N Coaster. I've been to Niagara before and while I enjoy it, I wouldn't call that part of my trip. Is it worth it to lose out on some night rides just to get this unique credit? Looking for opinions and advice.

    TIA

    Good morning Robert.

    As someone who has ridden this ride about 20 times since it was installed, I can honestly tell you, getting night rides are more worthwhile. If you are a credit collector, then get it, but honestly, its rough, and $14/ride. Its kind of neat at night, and it does overlook Clifton Hill, but I'd rather stay at CW. I live 8 min from Clifton Hill (3min from the former Marineland).I generally only ride it if theres people visiting that want to go. Its definitely not in my list of favorites!!

    Wow, $14 a ride, that is a bit pricey. I figured $7-10 at most. With that price and then3 hour round tripper it's starting to sound like it's not worth the hassle. 

    I do like collecting credits, and bizzare/unusual ones, all the more, but I think I'll leave that one off my itinerary. 

    Thank you for the advice!

    Yeah, if you're in the area, sure, go for it. But if you're coming down just for that,  I wouldn't worry about it. Fun-ish and unique ride, sure. For most it would definitely be a 1 and done.

    Sounds like I'll just wait til I actually go Niagara. Thanks for saving about 3 hours of driving and around $30 bucks for my daughter and I!
