(Revised review) I’ve ridden this coaster in the past and I was fairly underwhelmed. But today just rode this coaster 4 times. Rode it in the back row. To say the least, it was a much better experience. Railblazer is a fast, intense layout with some inversions and ejector airtime. The ejectors definitely seemed to pop more and was much more intense. The ejectors were insane this time and definitely had you complete out of your seat.The theming is meh and my major flaw with the ride is how short it is. The ride is too short, but super fun none the less. The restraints also hurt the ride, by really limiting your airtime.

Honestly, I had some expectations for this ride, but thought it was just gonna be an above average roller coaster. Hangtime exceeded my expectations. The first drop was spectacular and the inversions were solid, there is also an intense airtime hill in the middle of the ride. Unfortunately the coaster is too short and doesn’t have much theming. But definitely a great ride for sure.

This was my first dive coaster and I kinda got what i expected. I rode in the back on my first ride and thought it was just ok, than i rode it in the front and it was much better. The front really makes a difference. I thought that the first drop was pretty sweet and the inversions were pretty intense. I only thought it was too short and lacked theme for a park called SeaWorld.

Un très bon travail de théma, malheureusement trop peu courant dans les parcs. L'ambiance est aussi exceptionnel, tout nouveau rider flippe dans ce truc, surtout en arrivant devant la structure ultra imposante du lift et le bruit du lift, sans parler de la surprise...pour le layout, c'est un véritable OVNI chez les "hyper coaster". C'est déjà la first drop twisté et incliné à 90dg suivi de l'espéce de non inverted sea serpent qui donne une sorte de gros basculement-airtime, un autre petit airtime et après ça part en sucette avec un overbanked turn qui t'éjecte sur la Lune, des gros G+ dans les virages (#affluxdesangdanslespieds), un ejector et un autre gros airtime sur la toute fin. Il perd un peu trop en vitesse pour la toute fin (les deux derniers turn avant l'airtime final), mais ça permet de souffler et on a un meme un petit airtime. L'inversion est biensur très sympas. Bref, un coaster qui n'a rien a enlever en intensité à un Zadra. Parcontre niveau confort si, mais ça reste ridable. Chose remarquée, le 1er rang est finalement assez soft, les rangs 3 et 4 sont bien plus intenses. En bref : chez d'oeuvre

Un début incroyable et une fin très' original. Un poil court peut-etre, mais vu que c'est du vieux Gerstlauer, est-ce si grave ?

Six Flags Magic Mountain is famous for its impressive lineup of 20 current roller coasters. Though, in those 20, only one wooden roller coaster stands: Apocalypse the Ride. Apocalypse is one of the older GCIs created and is one of their smaller thrill rides. Yet to say it doesn't pack a punch in its smaller stats is an understatement. From the moment the ride drops off the lift hill you are treated with many doses of intense laterals, disorienting turns and even some surprising pops of floater and ejector airtime. The ride seems to quickly take a turn or go over a hill every few seconds, with no time to breathe. That is, until the ride's finale. Apocalypse lets off a lot of speed to take two massive turns that don't do very much, resulting in somewhat of a disappointing end. The ride also has the GCI millennium flyer lap bars, which staple you as soon as the ride gains some positive G-forces. On a brighter note, the theming for this ride is very well done. The queue is very engaging with not just the ride itself but loads of theming sets that enhance the ride well. Overall, Apocalypse is a great wooden coaster that delivers a chaotic ride for the first 2/3 of the layout.

It’s really smooth for an old PTC. If you’re an an enthusiast looking for airtime and intensity you’ll be disappointed. If you’re introducing a little one to roller coasters it’s a perfect starter and respect it for what it is.
