Review: Swamp Fox is a fun and classic woodie. Despite its size, this coaster has some good airtime, and with the buzz bars, it makes it better. 
 

Fun Fact: Buzz bars are characterized by just a single lap bar that doesn’t come in contact with the body. They are called buzz bars because when the operator lowers or raises them, the locking mechanism makes a buzzing sound
