I think they made it faster than 2021. Rode it a few weeks ago and honestly felt faster than it looked in the 2019 version.

2021 version is slow cause of saving wear on the tracks

Opened in 2016, this person’s take on the original wood version recorded in 2019.
Unfortunately, this roller coaster has had more down time than any roller coaster in history, even from when it was brand new at the time.
