Achterbahn Rezensionen

Standort

Love the hillside, ride’s largely boring, the cars don’t swing very much. Probably good for kids.

It’s a Batman clone. It’s fine.

Spaß Sanftheit Abschuss Intensität

Really enjoyable, nice that it’s very long, just wish it was more forceful, launches feel super weak.

Abschuss Hangtime Zu kurz

Really great elements, insane hang time on the first loop and the swing launch is great. Just wish it was longer.

Standort Spaß Layout

Probably the best flying coaster. Great views; most of the ride isn’t super intense but it really does make you feel like you’re flying. The pretzel roll is unreal.

First Drop Dauer Dead spots

Sacrifices other RMCs’ relentless pacing for longer duration… the elements are all there and great individually but it feels like there’s a surprising amount of dead air in between. I did ride on a colder day after some downtime so it may have been running slow. Getting to do the first drop twice is awesome, though.

Fun in the dark for Halloween (they turn off all of the lights making the ride nearly pitch-black). Very skippable otherwise.

Standort Spaß

A charming and just generally enjoyable classic wooden coaster. A bit better than you'd expect.

Intensität Layout

A cut above as inverts go. Great layout that covers a lot of ground and adds a lot to the experience.

Inversionen Spaß Rütteln

A pretty good, generally fun ride. Nothing special, and nowadays it has a bit of a rattle.

Inversionen Abschuss Zu kurz

Everything that's here is excellent, unfortunately it's just too short.

Intensität Ejectors Unangenehm

Very forceful, made terrible exclusively by awful restraints that focus every ounce of force from the coaster right on your thighs. I can see why people love Skyrush; if it's not physically painful to ride it has a lot going for it and really whips you around in a great way. Worth riding to try out and see if it hurts too much to be worth it at the very least.

Komfort Meisterwerk Ejectors

Incredible. Best roller coaster I've been on to date. Absolutely non-stop with killer inversions, tons of airtime and generally a fantastically creative layout.

Inversionen Abschuss Layout Zu kurz

Really unique and just super fun, a shame it isn't longer.

Intensität Layout Dauer

A real endurance test in the best way possible.

Komfort Intensität

Surprisingly great, forceful and intense but the padded seats keep it super comfortable. Probably the best ride at Dollywood if you can’t get a good ride in lightning rod.

Thematisierung

Barely a roller coaster. Hits a dark ride sweet spot of being kinda bad in a charming way but also elaborate enough to be somewhat immersive. Just don’t go in expecting a roller coaster, it had 3 dinky drops and nothing else.

Inversionen Sanftheit Zu kurz

Maybe my favorite arrow coaster w/ inversions. Actually really smooth and charmingly retro. Unfortunately it’s very short and the seats are pretty weird and uncomfortable. The inversions are really fun.

Thematisierung Inversionen Headbanging Unangenehm

I’d adore this ride if it wasn’t so uncomfortable… the genuinely weird layout combined with some surprisingly nice theming makes it very worth riding once, unfortunately headbanging makes it too uncomfortable to bother with after that.

Sanftheit Unangenehm

I might be overrating slightly as it’s my first wing coaster and hanging over the sides is very cool. Vest restraints suck and dug into my collarbone pretty badly. Otherwise it’s an unremarkable but pretty fun layout, definitely accomplishes its goal of making you feel like you’re flying.

Airtimes Tempo Zuverlässigkeit

Great in theory, but it has a bad combination of 1. Poor reliability meaning it may close for large chunks of a day and 2. Requiring ideal conditions to get a good ride- I rode once in the morning while it was rainy and colder right after it reopened and it was sluggish, then once when it was hotter and had been running for a while and the difference was night and day. Under ideal circumstances it flies through the layout with some great ejector moments, but there’s also the additional risk of stapling (Dollywood attendants thankfully rarely staple but the ride itself can do it if you aren’t careful, particularly at the bottom of the first hill). So it’s finicky, ideally you want to go on after it’s been open for a few hours but it may not open at all. An optimal ride is great, though; only real letdown is it’s very short.
