Having never ridden this style of ride before, and seeing that it looked cool from a distance, I thought this would be pretty fun, but it was quite boring. It was just sorta slow and floaty the whole way, never feeling like anything happened. Even the iconic barrel roll through the entryway just sorta blinked by without feeling cool or anything.
The only ride the whole day to make my head hurt, which doesn't even make sense since it seemed gentle and fairly new. Maybe being on the outside was giving it some imperceptible constant vibration or something? It sure didn't improve the action like I expected either.
A complete novelty ride, feels like it was built solely for cool photo op potential

Before I rode it I always shit talked this ride. It felt so pointless to wait in line that long just to go up one hill, barely make it over the top, and come back down. Before they added the triple launch I might not have even bothered riding it. But I had a fast pass so what the hell.
Yeah, it's short. Still makes me go "so...wheres the rest of the coaster?" when I look at it. But if it hadn't broken down immediately after I rode it I'd for sure have gone on it 2-3 more times.
Honestly it doesn't even need the hill, it's just so fun getting launched really fast lol. A lot of people complained that it was getting rough and the track is old, but I thought it was perfect- there's a perfect amount of rattle and vibration to the trains during that second and third launch to really make it feel like you're being accelerated to insane speed, faster and faster. If they made a coaster that was just like, half a mile of flat track with an LSM under it and then it turned around and deployed a parachute to slow you back down again I'd still think it was awesome

My favorite giga by far (though I haven't tried Fury yet). Leviathan and Orion especially, I didn't even realize were giga coasters when I first rode them. They're big, sure, but that's it. Very gentle, sorta lackluster, at best you get a soaring feeling. Some tighter turns or inversions would be nice.
MF is what I expect from a giant speed machine! Feels like it's peeling your face off. I blinked and had trouble opening my eye again because the wind was pressing my eyelid shut. The edges of my vision got a bit dark at point point, which no other coaster has ever managed.
Yeah, it's a bit old, and not as smooth as newer gigas. I didn't ride it when it was new but I honestly wonder if the roughness actually enhances it. It's never rough in a way that hurts, and there's no over-shoulder restraint to bash your head into. It just makes you _feel_ the speed in a whole extra way, like drag racing in a 70s muscle car vs a tesla.
Even the way the train screams past the queue just feels way faster than anything else- even top thrill doesn't compare to it.

I went onto this blind, only excited for the launched vertical drop. Turns out, that was the least fun bit. The entire sequence feels sorta tired, barely any faster than a chain lift could go (honestly I think some special fast chain lifts might even be faster), and then when you get to the peak, which should be the coolest bit, it even slows down the launch further. Probably the shortest and slowest vertical drop I've been on; way inferior to a eurofighter or something similar.
The rest of the ride is fun, lots of stuff packed in there, and I didn't see the second launch coming at all. Now THATS a launch. Could use a bit more after the second launch but the overall length of the ride is good.
The real issue though, and the reason I didn't ride a second time: the seats were absolutely painful. Not sure what was up with them but the way the hard plastic was shaped felt like it was just bashing into the bottom of my thigh painfully throughout the whole ride. Was honestly a bit hard to walk for a few seconds after getting off

I know I don't really rate kiddie coasters but I have to say this because it was my first roller coaster. It is a pretty much standard kiddie coaster, good for kids but it does have some pretty mediocre pops of airtime but don't expect much from this coaster.

After being wowed by Wildcat and Wicked Cyclone I was excited for holy grail, but was a bit disappointed.
Arguably, it's more extreme; all the numbers are bigger, but it seems like the speed doesn't allow it to do as much as it could. No super tight turns or little flings, it just rushes around in a circle two or three times at high speed.
The trademark RMC ejectors are there still, but almost too sharp, they stop being thrilling and just feel like it's yanking you down, and the inversions feel a bit uninspired
They should have used all the speed it gathers from that first drop do you another circuit around the outside or something first to burn off more speed with larger RMC features, and then used all that empty area in the middle and underneath to have more fun being creative with a bit lower speed

A very quirky wood. Drop out of the station is cool. Single restraint seats for two is really fun as long as you're both comfortable with it. Combined with a sorta rough ride it's something that you enjoy _because_ it's old.
Most coasters of this design style are pretty boring to me, you get to the turns at the top of the hills and just slowly turn around, but this is FAST. Amazing what a little change like that can do.
The turns also aren't banked hardly at all, so those fast corners just chuck you back and forth and take full advantage of the wide combined seat. You may like that or hate it- but I think it's the ride's best and distinguishing feature

Weird little coaster, never seen anything quite like it. Very fun most of the way, the last few bits at the end are pretty boring though. Could use a bit more content or maybe a second launch
