    Airtimes Inversionen Spaß

    Arguably the best RMC, this coaster does not disappoint. I’ve ridden this ride a few different times, and every time I do I get a different experience than the time before. When the ride ops are moving fast, you’ll get to duel with the other train and share some inversions, which is unique to TC and a really fun feature. The drop Thea Econ’s time around is phenomenal, and the hang time/airtime you get throughout the ride makes it fun. A solid coaster all the way around.

    Kapazität Enttäuschend! Irrelevant

    A kiddie coaster that offers virtually nothing fun for anyone over the age of 5 or under the age of 75. It’s a slow loader, old, and is kind of sad looking. It would be great if they tore this coaster down and added a fun flat ride in this area.

    Standort Abschuss Hangtime Kapazität Zuverlässigkeit

    A fun coaster that really compliments the park (when it’s working) nicely. There’s excellent hang time, and it’s location in the park is unmatched, offering great views over the front entrance and main gate. This ride always seems to be closed when I go now, and for that it ranks a bit lower on my scale.

    Airtimes First Drop Sanftheit Dead spots Zuverlässigkeit

    This is one of Discovery Kingdom’s best coasters, and far superior to its predecessor Roar. This is one of the smaller RMC remodels, but it packs a punch and is enjoyable throughout. There’s solid airtime, some intense moments, and a first drop that is pleasantly surprising. The worst part about this ride is the reliability. California has provision in place which only permits rides to a certain speed for safety reasons. When the track gets too much moisture (as it often does in the Bay Area), they have to close the ride. This happens a lot throughout the day, and it can be quite annoying to wait in line just for it to close down. That, and the fact that it doesn’t stack up to some of the other RMC’s, but a fun ride that I always enjoy.

    Rütteln Zu kurz Rückhaltebügel

    A Vekoma Boomerang that lives down to the name. This off-the-shelf copy is just as rough as all of its counterparts, and the uncomfortability of both the seats and the harnesses is the cherry on top to a ride that disappoints every time.

    Komfort Spaß Intensität

    It’s hard for me to give a ride 5 stars, but this one deserves it. Arguably the best roller coaster in California, and one of the best I’ve ever been on, I can’t say enough good things about it. A B&M flying coaster, this ride has quality written all over it. A must do if you’re at Magic Mountain, and one to re-ride for sure.

    Abschuss Intensität Hangtime Zu kurz Kapazität

    This was my first experience on a Premier Sky Rocket, and it was better than I thought. The cobra roll is intense and offers a lot of hang time, the launch is a fun surprise, and having just the lap bar makes it better than some of its counterparts. u fortunately, the low capacity and shortness of the ride brings it down for me. Expect long waits for a ride with only one train, and only 12 riders per train.

    Airtimes Inversionen Sanftheit

    Having lived in California my whole life, SFDK was my home park. This coaster never disappoints. It’s fun, smooth, fairly lengthy, and offers some fun inversions/intensity. It’s a B&M, which means you know it’s going to be a smooth ride. A fun ride that’s enjoyable all the way through.

    Kapazität Abschuss Dauer Rückhaltebügel Airtimes Intensität

    This was my first roller coaster with an inversion, and the first “big” ride I ever rode. I was 5 the first time I went on it, back when it was still California Screamin’. The ride is fun, and the views of the Pier and DCA are unmatched. There’s not much airtime, aside from the second drop and some bunny hills toward the end of the ride. For these reasons, the lack of intensity brings this rating down, but it’s a fun starter coaster for youngsters and still adds some level of thrill that everyone can enjoy. I have to say I don’t enjoy the returning, and the old 1920s pier theme was way better, but maybe that’s just my nostalgia kicking in.
