    Rückhaltebügel Unangenehm

    While the layout should allow this coaster to function as a... sort of b-tier euro-fighter, the harness/restraint are awful. They pin you in and in a way that makes the inversions and sharp turns hurt. It's an uncomfortable ride as it currently exists and in this case the negatives unfortunately distract enough to outweigh the positives

    Inversionen Intensität Rütteln Headbanging

    This is another coaster that is a tale of two coasters. The restraints are truly awful. Especially with the rattle that wants to throw you side to side into the accordion restraint. However, if you can ride defensively and not hit your head, the ride itself is actually quite intense and fun. Beyond this, the park has announced it will be removing the accordion restraints going forward, just sticking with the lap bars. This should make the ride a MUCH more enjoyable experience and should let riders enjoy the power of the 3 loops. While the coaster could use a little work still - reprofiling some of the corners and transitions on the track, adding anti-rollbacks to the lift hill, etc, removing and simplifying the restraints should make the coaster an overall more enjoyable experience!

    Thematisierung Zu kurz Unangenehm

    un petit family coaster vekoma qui a pris un gros coup de vieux, et qui n'est pas très confortable, et plutôt court. Cependant, je pense qu'il est important de remarquer les effort sur la thématisation cohérente (hormis le train aux couleurs un peu déplacées) que l'on ne retrouve malheureusement pas trop ailleurs dans le parc.

    Airtimes Ejectors Rütteln Unangenehm

    This coaster combines some of the best and worst of wooden coasters. The layout is tight and compact and offers incredible airtime and ejectors, all while being incredibly rough. The good definitely outweigh the bad here for me, though I don't think it's the kind of coaster you can marathon

    Airtimes First Drop Nette Überraschung! Rütteln

    I was definitely surprised with this coaster. The theming is a nice touch and the first drop pulls surprising airtime - especially in the back row. The loops do not hurt as much as many other arrow loopers and the corkscrew is taken surprisingly quick offering good g's and a little hangtime. One of my favorite Arrow loopers

    Nette Überraschung! Zu kurz

    Sympa à condition de prendre un peu de vitesse, un double down (si on peut appeler ça comme ça) qui procure un léger air time sinon, ça reste un alpine coaster classique et plutôt court

    Schoßbügel Nette Überraschung! Zu kurz Thematisierung

    un bon petit family boomerang, avec quelques petites forces, mais bon ça reste très familial, sans réel thématisation.

    Intensität Hangtime Zu kurz

    Personally I feel like the Intamin Impulse is a very underrated coaster. Especially in the front or back row. Fast but comfortable launch. The hang time and the front and back of the ride are both airless and very enjoyable. One of the better gimmick models!

    Airtimes First Drop Ejectors

    Every time I return to King's Dominion over the last year it seems like they've retracked even MORE of this ride. As of this past weekend only a few spots have not been. Basically every element hits with the retracking now. Grizzly is 100% a back row ride. Almost exclusively. In the back row it's truly incredible. The lap bars can be a pain if you get stapled, but it's fairly easy - especially if you're a little larger or have larger legs - to steal that extra click or two of room. It's very easy for me to get that lap bar to leave me with... 10-12 inches of space. If you can manage extra room with the lap bar, this ride skyrockets to a near 10 out of 10. I'm on my feet on every drop. There's ejector, laterals, even laterals while it's providing ejectors leading to crazy like... diagonal ejector. Running as smooth as it is right now, and with the ability to sorta... game the restraints... it's one of the greatest wooden coaster experiences I have ever had. Massively re-rideable and an incredible feat by the Gravity Group for the re-track work they've done. I will die on the Grizzly hilly until it proves otherwise. One of my top wooden coasters. Also, shoutout to the second drop into the double-down in a tunnel!

    Spaß Sanftheit

    This ride does exactly what it's supposed to. It's a fun kids/family ride. It's not super intense but you can still get a little air and some intensity throughout. As it's fairly new it's also incredibly smooth. Vekoma has done a great job on this model recently as many of them run much smoother than older kid/family coasters
