Is Penguin Trek like Slinky Dog?

I can’t do any rides with gforces so I wonder about the launch and if your head flies back in the seat?

Have ever ridden slinky dog dash? It's the same exact launch speed around 40mph, its really is a kids coaster but fun none the less.

Yes I can ride that one but I don’t remember it having a launch?

Slinky dog has a launch right in the middle where the ride basically stops.

Thank you! I can handle that!

Thank you! It does remind me of slinky dog! Is it pretty smooth or jerky?

We’ve yet had a chance to ride it, a month from now though

I just rode it last week. It's a B&M and very smooth. The launches aren't bad at all. I'd say the one on slinky is actually more intense. It's a great family coaster and the penguin exhibit right after is the best I've ever seen. There's no glass between you and the penguins and you're so close you could touch them. I was very impressed. It's cold in there though (of course).

What is a B&M?

Oops I forgot, this is a Disney forum but not really a coaster forum.. LOL. It stands for Bolliger and Mabillard. They're a coaster manufacturer that make some of the best and smoothest coasters.
