    Thematisierung Layout Unangenehm Dead spots

    As a Disney fan and California native, I was expecting more from WDW’s space mountain. It was one of the most underwhelming experiences I’ve had on a roller coaster. The trains are far worse than it’s California counterpart, and there’s virtually no leg room. There’s no intensity throughout the ride, and the lack of renovations this version has gotten compared to the Disneyland one is telling. New trains and a retracking would do this Disney classic some good.

    Layout Headbanging Kapazität

    Vekoma SLC’s are notoriously painful, and this is no exception. First time on this about killed my brain, but it has since gotten better and more smooth. The layout is standard for most SLC’s, and some parts are kind of intense. Ride ops aren’t great here, largely due to the fact that they usually only run one of the two trains. Theyve given this coaster a VR overlay in the past, and when they do it slows things down even more. SFDK doesn’t have that many coasters, so I understand if you want to ride it or just want another credit. But, it’s usually a skip for me on my visits.

    In terms of B&M flourless coasters, this one’s not the best. It certainly has its problems, but it’s not a bad ride. I actually think it’s smoothed out quite a bit recently, to a point where I don’t really have an issue with it. The layout is pretty cool, and you’ll enjoy yourself for sure. I think the rattle on this thing is annoying, a huge con to be completely honest. Compared to Medusa at SFDK, this thing is deafening.

    Hard to say a bad thing about this coaster. The 0-82 launch in just seconds is wild, and the intensity through to the end of the drop is definitely present. I also like that on this ride, unlike others of its kind, you go around the hill a little bit and the ride doesn’t just end. It’s enjoyable, it’s fast, and it towers over the park and Buena Park. Great coaster all the way around.

    Layout Dauer Unangenehm Irrelevant

    This is one of the most average rides I’ve ever been on. It’s long, which is nice, but ultimately it doesn’t do much for me. There’s no intensity, no good drops, nothing. But, it offers some great views from above the park and a nicely themed attraction area for the most part. Ride ops are horrendous, and you might wait 30 minutes for a line that should take 10-15. It takes up such a big footprint I think they could really put a better ride here. It’s not disastrous, but it’s not great by any stretch.

    Nette Überraschung! Layout Zu kurz

    The ride is actually pretty fun. It doesn’t look too enticing, but the spinning really adds to the coaster. Some of the bank turns and other elements are thrilling, and I think it does it’s job as a family coaster.

    Standort Enttäuschend! Unangenehm

    To say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. This ride fits I the land, and it has a better layout than the traditional rides of its type. The worst part about this coaster is just how boring it is. To wait in line, and sit in cramped seats just for this ride is disappointing. Knotts is a great park with great attractions, but this is not one of them.

    Intensität Sanftheit Dead spots

    This ride is just fine. It’s a 255 ft tall hyper coaster, so the views are pretty cool. The drop is just so lackluster, and the lack of inversions or real intense layout makes this one just a little boring. The best part of the ride is the helix at the end, which can make you blackout if you’re not expecting it.

    Same thing as the left side, only this side is a little bit less enjoyable for me. It’s slower, but a bit less rough for it which is nice. Ultimately, I do enjoy speed and intensity a little bit more, and on this ride I’m willing to take a rougher ride for some tighter turns and quicker descent. Because it’s rough no matter which side you sit on, this one doesn’t really do it for me as much.

    Schoßbügel Abschuss Hangtime Zu kurz Kapazität

    One of my favorites for sure, Full Throttle taps into every category of intensity that make the ride enjoyable. The launch is thrilling, the loop offers incredible hangtime that really live up to its accolades, and the mid course launch is a nice touch. The ride is just too short for me, and I think the wait times that are garnished for this thing make the ride less worth it. Ride ops are generally pretty decent, but when the line gets long it feels like forever because of the lack of cooling in the queue.
