The first drop is crazy and after that it's really intense and fun but the ride time is too short and that means long queues, especially because SFDL has a grudge against having more than one train on the tracks

Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts is a solid "roller coaster" featuring a surprisingly intense tilt track and some great theming, my only complaint is that the 3D isn't used much, but it's still a good ride.

If I could select more pros (like, a BUNCH more), I would. White-knuckle thrills and serious hang time on El Loco. I don't see how this specific model doesn't have a thousand installations by now, as parks like Niagara Amusement Park could really use one of these punks. There is literally nothing bad I can say about this coaster, except the small trains, but because of the small crowds this park gets, it didn't have a line on my visit. Or, at least not a big one, because the line - it was definitely there, okay? It wasn't non-existent, but, I mean, it had a little bit of a wait, but that's not the point. El Loco starts with a fast chain lift and shows you it means business by chucking you into a vertical drop, and after that, you're thrown into two inversions, both supplying incredible hang time. If you're an enthusiast, don't pass up this tiny park.

Steel Dragon, not to be confused with the giga in Japan, is a pretty good ride, offering a second major thrill experience to the park. It has some crazy fun moments like a surprisingly intense first drop, a fun helix, and it spins quite a bit. My only complaint is the tiny capacity which sometimes results in really long lines, but let's all be honest, at the end of the day, that isn't important. This is tucked away in a hidden corner of the park, and because of the trees, it's hard to see normally, but it's easy to see from the first overflow parking lot. Just in case you are visiting Waldameer soon. Great ride😃

Welcome to Kings Island! Please be respectful for the national anthem, then head into the park where you will see many sights such as the Eiffel Tower (not the real one, go to Paris if you want to see that) and the roller coasters. You see that big blue behemoth? Maybe not, because it's blue, and so is the sky. It's actually quite an interesting fact that brings up, a lot of really big roller coasters are blue to blend in with the sky, not just this one. Head in the vague direction of the ride, and you may want to head under the two Racers, or else you'll completely miss it, because, I mean, it's a theme park, they never want you to know where anything is. It's almost like in Busch Gardens Williamsburg if you take the sky ride over to Germany and it's nearly impossible to find your way out, there is one way out and it is the absolute last place you'd expect it to be, but I'm getting off topic. Now, once you've used your last few braincells locating the ride, you come to find the queue line that pretty clearly leads to it. Now, if it's the beginning of the day and you get early entry, you will probably not get too long of a line, but if you don't have early entry, you will have to either face lines that are posted at an hour but are absolutely understated, or buy a Fast Lane for your family, which is certainly the better option, but, I mean, with people these days, you really never know. But either way, you're getting there at some point, and when you do, you're on the train, roaring to go, doesn't leave for five millennia, still ready as you'll ever be, then you get whipped out of the station, as the train starts to ascend the 300ft hill (ITS A GIGA, STOP SAYING IT'S NOT) and when it finally reaches the top, the ride's tagline doesn't make itself untrue as all ears within 30 miles get fractured due to the amount of screaming just your party let alone does. Dooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn we go! Aaaaaaa! As the vehicle starts the incline back up, you get flattened like a pancake, or so it feels, and then you get thrown into a barrage of intense elements, such as humongous airtime hills and flabbergasting turns, and after a while, the ride comes to a halt, as you wait another five millennia for the train to be pulled back into the station, and while you're waiting, talk to your group about it! Think out loud! Speak to them! Convey your feelings about the past three minutes! After that, the train slinks it's way back into the station, and I must confess, I forgot to talk about the theming in the queue earlier, so that is what will be talked about next. After a few minutes of waiting in the blazing heat of Almost-Cincinnati, you find yourself in a place that looks like the base of a conspiracy theorist, with pins and red strings all over the place, connecting different Kings Island rides like Flight of Fear and the now defunct Firehawk. Anyways, all I'm trying to say is that you should book a plane ticket or drive to Mason, Ohio, where you can ride the one and only Orion.

I have no idea why this ride gets so much hate. It has a relatively smooth layout (might get some backlash for that but I thought it was), an overall fun layout, and a healthy five-minute length, longer than any other coaster in America. And then there's the forest setting, away from the frantic congestion of the park. Wow. I have never been on one of their famous night rides, so I cannot tell you about that, but I was sort of lucky when I got the first public train of the day. All things considered, this is a very good roller coaster👍

The harness is terrible but that does not detract from the masterpiece of a coaster that is Steel Vengeance. First of all, there's nowhere to hang on. You're forced to either put your hands in your lap or hold your hands up to the sky, which I don't get why people do that because from my experiences doing so, I have found that it is uncomfortable and that holding on to the bar in front of you or gripping the over the shoulder harnesses is just a much better way to ride a roller coaster, but, as I mentioned before, THERE IS NOWHERE TO HANG ON. Then, after your train leaves the loading station, you're yeeted out of your seat before you even get to the chain lift due to two surprisingly whippy airtime hills after exiting the safety of the queue. After that, you are put front and center with the world's loudest chain hill. CLACKCLACKCLACKCLACKCLACK goes the lift hill that is ascending you to the top of the roller coaster. 205 feet and one headache later, you come face to face with... drumroll please... A 90° DROP!!! Down goes your body, up goes the intensity, and after that is over, you're flung out of your seat and into the restraint because of an insanely whippy airtime hill, and then when you already thought this coaster couldn't get any crazier, it does. Once again you're thrown out of your seat, this time due to an out banked turn a billion feet in the air, which you can't help but love, and during all this you're screaming your lungs out and for all the world it seems like you're going to lose your voice. After that almost inconceivable element, you're left completely stunned, but the ride doesn't let up as you get absolutely chucked out of your seat, through the support beams, not being able to tell which way is up, and after all that, the ride... still doesn't end. I personally am dumbfounded at how lengthy this roller coaster is. Even for Cedar Point, this is a crazy good attraction and somehow never seems to get lines longer than an hour. A masterpiece of a coaster for sure. DEFINITELY not to miss if you are going to this park for your first time. I am at a loss for words at how unmatched this coaster is. Of course, there is almost certainly a coaster out there that will beat Steel Vengeance on my personal rankings, but I haven't found it yet. And, frankly, I probably never will, because it's just that good. Never underestimate the power of Steel Vengeance.

If you think Maverick is just another launch coaster, think again. Amazing second launch, crazy inversions, and solid theming all add up to make a coaster that proves that you don't always have to go big to be great.

The magnum opus of Arrow Dynamics because of it's first drop, a towering beast on the shore, it's intense layout, and it's unmissable fun factor. I put discomfort but even then it's just because of the insane airtime on the bunny hills at the end, they crush your thighs against the lap bar and it hurts so bad but it's still fun

Went into it expecting it to be mid but I was surprised by it's intensity and inversions and diving mechanism and it's just one big steaming pile of awesome. Cedar Point really knocked it out of the park with this record breaker, which is nothing new for them but still, great job B&M.

Very long and fun family coaster with a surprisingly intense ending but you wait too long. One of the few Cedar Point coasters that isn't an inverter or a hyper+. Posted wait time was 20 minutes and we ended up waiting 30 so I don't know.

Visually stunning because of its location over a creek but doesn't do much. Janky transitions, weird banking, overall good for families. Has a fun factor though.

Top Thrill 2 is an exciting (yet terrifying) ride that takes you over 400 feet in the air and gives stunning views of the park and the lake, before plunging down a spiral. The third launch is crazy and just so speedy. Would recommend to anyone visiting Cedar Point this summer. Fast Lane will save your life.

The ride randomly implemented the under 54 inches rule this year (2025) so I couldn't ride but I remember riding in 2023 and kind of having fun but same as with my review on Great Pumpkin Coaster, I'm not gonna bring down the rating for a literal kids coaster.
