Ride Report: Griffon was fun, the line wasn't bad, but it was really short. It has 2 inversions and 2 vertical drops. The second half of the ride is a smaller duplicate of the first drop/inversion set untill you get ready to approach the station.
In my opinion the back is more exciting than the front or middle. The middle isn't entirely floorless, there is a step for the staduim seating that gets in the way, in the back the step is too low to get in the way.
I would rate BGE's coasters as follows
1. Apollo's Chariot
2. Apengeist
3. Griffon
4. Loch Ness Monster (Still most picturesque)
5. Big Bad Wolf
