Achterbahn Rezensionen

Inversionen Tempo Intensität Thematisierung

This is one of the best versions of Batman. The colors aren't a gross yellow, and there are trees around the layout, plus the Gotham City section is probably my favorite of the bunch. Though the theming leaves a lot to be desired, especially after they stopped playing Danny Elfman's score in the station. With that being said, Batman is as intense as ever. Relentless, whippy, forceful, and dizzying. Best cloned coaster on the planet, and that includes Raptors.

New trains and paint are very very pretty. They don't get rid of the awful tracking and rattling, but at least it's rideable now, and the inversions are fun with the compact layout over the water.

Airtimes Spaß Sanftheit Enttäuschend! Layout

They really need to race this coaster for it to be effective, and my ride did not have that. Though the trackwork made my ride smooth with good floater airtime, the standard out and back layout isn't exciting when the other track is lifeless and unmaintained.

Twisted Timbers is my least favorite of the RMC I-box coasters I've ridden, and yet it's still an outstanding coaster. My complaint is the coaster's design. Instead of using part of the layout like Twisted Cyclone, or increasing the height to make up for steel coasters not carrying momentum as well as wood coasters (Steel Vengeance), it does neither. It uses the whole layout, and is about the same height as Hurler. As such, the ride really runs out of steam about 2/3 of the way through. The forces stay quite good, but the train feels like it's struggling to get back to the station. In addition, this ride takes ages to load, and the ride ops do not hurry in the same way they did for SteVe. Lastly, though airtime alley is a great homage to Hurler, I ultimately find it uncreative for the kinds of layouts RMC has proven to be able to produce. I love the first drop and the first overbank. Other than that, this is standard RMC fare, and that is great fun. Sharp ejector airtime with smooth inversions and overbanks. Plus the theming is probably the best of any US RMC, especially paired with the similarly themed Apple Zapple.

Whoever thought to combine Maverick and Millennium Force into one coaster was bonkers, and I don't know why they built it at Kings Dominion of all places, and yet here we are. Intimidator 305 is possibly the most intense roller coaster in the world. Huge positive Gs, enormous giga level speed, and relentless transitions all happen at the same time, and with the wind in your face in the front row, you'll be begging this ride for mercy. Thankfully, there are breaks of airtime between all of the intense moments, which is what makes this ride work, as it does have a little bit of remorse. The new soft collars are even better than the old ones, so my only complaint about this ride is now out the window. This coaster is absolutely ridiculous and will probably get torn down for a more tame B&M or Mack giga in the next 20 years, so let's enjoy it while it's still kicking our asses.

Thematisierung Enttäuschend! Irrelevant Intensität

First of all, the queue is nicely themed (including a funny soundtrack) and the seats are quite comfortable. From a distance, the ride looks a little quirky and fun, but in fact, it is far more tame than you would expect because there is a brake every few metres slowing the vehicle drastically. The "freefall-like" segments are kind of castrated, so the ride provides not much more than rocking back and forth which feels rather uninspired...

This is a good ride for sure. Forceful, smooth, compact, well paced, huge, and fun. But I will say this is my least favorite floorless. I think that unless you have a standup coaster layout, a floorless coaster is nothing without a kickass zero-g roll. Dominator is simply a very odd ride. It was plopped down as a leftover of Geauga Lake's slaughter and subsequent gutting, so it sits awkwardly as an offshoot of International Street. Fun, but definitely contributes to King Dominion's feeling of being dystopian Kings Island.

Spaß Unangenehm

Fun family coaster, but the trains are way too tiny.

Headbanging

I hate old Vekoma SFCs. How does a family coaster have headbanging? Please give this one Freedom Flyer trains.

Komfort Irrelevant

Just like Sidewinder but with theming. Best boomerang I've ever ridden and it's still only a little enjoyable.
