    Airtimes Nette Überraschung! Dauer Dead spots Zuverlässigkeit

    Going in I was told that Rip Ride Rockit was an abysmal, rough and jerky ride. But I was very pleasantly surprised, hence my 4-star rating. This coaster has some good pops of sustained floater air in the beginning, and decent G’s towards the end — with the middle of the ride making up a notable “dead spot.” My favorite element probably has to be the inclined loop (a “Plot Twist” per Universal’s marketing scheme), which pulls some great laterals. The first drop is also pretty fun because of the unrestrictive lap bars. However, some of the transitions are a bit awkward, most notably the rises into the first and second mid-courses which give this kind of odd sensation of experiencing airtime while being shuffled to the side of your seat. Two crazy experiences I had with this coaster is when going in for a second ride, our train stopped just before the lift hill. A minute later we were evacuated off the ride and given a free Express Pass, which I later used for my third ride. And on the fourth ride, I was rocking out to the Jackson 5 when our train stopped on the brake run just before the last. The speakers still blared for another minute, but finally our train crawled forward and completed the rest of the circuit. It was a great end to a great day.

    Honestly- one of the better SLCs, not too much headbanging and not that rough.

    Airtimes Standort Komfort Enttäuschend!

    Had really high hopes for this: but, i ended up not really liking it. Probably due to the fact that i only rode this one time and got stapled on it, but i will have to ride it again, kinda.

    My first inverting coasted- and a very nice Schwarzkopf in my opinion. Pretty good layout, intense loop, and it was really a good classic.

    While this is far and away my mother’s favorite coaster of all time, I still think Wild Eagle is a decent ride in its own right — but surpassed by the other two B&M wing coasters that I have ridden, Gatekeeper and Thunderbird. The location for this coaster is the best thing about Wild Eagle, because you are atop the hillside that splits Dollywood’s park layout in two. The inversions are taken at a perfectly graceful speed, providing good hangtime and several near misses with the trees; while the helices at the end offer a pop of airtime, and a slight hint of laterals. All in all Wild Eagle is not a bad ride, but it certainly could be improved; as with most of the other wing coasters bar Thunderbird, it tends to fall a bit short in the intensity category.

    Rütteln Unangenehm

    I only tend to rate the more special kids coasters. Woodstock’s Express may look like an unassuming, cute little Zamperla 80STD; but let me tell you, if you’re credit whoring this you are in for a ROUGH ride (literally). Each turn on this coaster will slide and smash you around in your seat, and at the bottom of each hill your car violently shakes with a consistent rattle throughout. I get this is just a kids coaster, however, the new-for-2017 Whistle Punk Chaser (which I had rode just the last week) was so much smoother, probably due to its newness!
