I rode it first back in September 2007, I didn't really find it to be rough, and although I preferred it's cousin in Yorkshire, I enjoyed riding it again twice and at the end of the day was my 2nd favourite coaster at AT.
My next ride was in it's final year, and I did find it to be rough this time, infact I must have being leaning wrong because I banged my head just after the corkscrews and it hurt for at least a week, only time I've been hurt by an Alton coaster. Although I did ride it again twice that day (If I remember correctly), just at the (less rough) front.
My last ride was (bit of omen for what'd replace it) my 13th ride on Corkie, when I was 13 years old. In fact looking at an ORP from the same day I can say it was Saturday the 25th of October, just 3 weeks till it was removed. (RIP)
And still to this day I regard Corkie to be at least twice as good as what replaced it.
