The Cornball Express had gained critical acclaim among enthusiasts, being named the #1 wooden roller coaster in the world by website ThemeParkCritic.com in 2002.

The ride weaves through and uses portions of the Hoosier Hurricane's structure in some parts, glides over the Kiddieland section of the park, wraps around the park's Tig'rr Coaster, and may sometimes 'duel' with the Rocky's Rapids Log Flume attraction.

[2] The Cornball Express starts off with boarding the trains (designed by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters) and pulling down the "buzz bar" restraint before dispatch.

After the drop, the ride soars over the Hoosier Hurricane and into a turnaround the then heads towards an airtime hill.

Following the helix, riders are treated to two more bunny hills of airtime before turning into the brake run, ending a ride on the Cornball Express.
