Coaster reviews

Airtimes Duration Disappointing! Lap Bar

Not the best RMC or best ride at Cedar Point. Still pretty fun, but RMC lap bars are atrocious.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Rattle

It's fairly fun average Galaxi model.

Nice surprise! Location Fun Theming

This ride is the most underrated ride I've ever ridden. Before the train replacement, there were bulky, unnecessary shoulder guards that promoted headbanging. When Premier Rides came to the rescue and swapped the trains for lap bar and a "comfort collar," the ride got so much better. I could enjoy the ride now and enjoy the two inversions and (believe it or not,) airtime. It is a must ride at night: you can see all the lit up buildings, while you're on top of a building. The ride's a little quirky, but it's enjoyable. Night ride is a must.

Nice surprise! Layout Ejectors

So underrated! It's the prototype raptor on steroids. It has everything the old raptor had, but a longer ride. The line always moves fast as it's a moving station and there's no air gates.

Theming Discomfort

This kids coaster felt really janky, which is surprising because this was made in 2022. Although what makes up for it is its immense theming.

Fun

It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I’ve not ridden this in 7 years and forgot almost everything about it.

Location Intensity Rattle Too short Harness

The only reason steamin demon still exists is because it’s at great escape. With the removal of Alpine Bobsled and the addition of lights on the lift hill, it going to take quite a long time before this has a chance of being removed. It’s unfortunate that the ride experience is poor, as it has a striking resemblance when entering the park. It’s also unfortunate because the line is rarely ever long, even with one train ops. Maybe people here acknowledge that the ride is not good. The queue line and lift hill show nice views of the ride, then it’s into the drop. This begins the nasty rattle prominent throughout the course. The loop is surprisingly forceful, similar to Vekoma boomerangs. The turnaround isnt anything notable, but afterwards are the corkscrews. Dear god these things are rough. Even using the headbanging method, there was pretty bad headbanging. In the middle of the corkscrews and at the very end are the worst parts. Final turn and break run are filler, but this ride in general is very short. It manages to be that rough in the little amount of time. I also want to point out the restraint. It digs into your stomach and hurts possibly worse than the headbanging. Anyways, there’s no redeeming factor in this ride, hopefully this closes and gets replaced by a better ride sooner than anything else at Great Escape.

Airtimes Fun Rattle

Didn’t really notice the location too much but it’s essentially Canyon Blaster but better. Helix is immediately after the first lift hill and the ride is similar. Random forces for some strange reason and there’s a random ejector moment that I don’t know how it got there.

Fun Rattle Lap Bar

It was really janky and the lap bar kind of hurt my stomach but it was just a fun ride in general. There is also a good amount of speed on the end of the helix and the last turn into the brake run.

Inversions Fun Intensity Rattle

This coaster is the definition of trying to have every drop of blood at your feet. The inversions are all taken at a great pace and give great positive g's. I've heard complaints about the headbanging & snappiness but I'd say you would just need to keep your head forward to ease out the headbanging. I will say though because of its age it has developed a slight rattle, but it isn't too bad. Overall, this is one of the greatest inverts on the East Coast.
