I know that most coaster fans prefer this layout to the larger Jersey Devil and Wonder Woman at Magic Mountain. But I enjoyed Jersey Devil more than this one. I think it is a question of intensity. Jersey Devil is milder and less frenzied than the smaller Raptor models. If I were 20-30 years younger, I would likely chose the more intense ride. RMC built a lightning quick ride in the original raptor models. I understand why the rides are popular, and I wouldn't pass up a chance to ride the other installations. But this is not a ride I could marathon. I think it was the most intense coaster in the park.

I enjoyed this coaster. But 2-12 passenger trains are inadequate at a park of this size. Great drops and inversions, and the whip off the turnarounds was nice. The riding position is not ideal. It is akin to riding in the center rear seat of an automobile.

This was a super intense ride. Rolling slowly to the launch position, I was excited and a bit nervous. Countdown, and the force kicks with serious punch. The launch seems to go on forever, and then the train glides up and over the tophat. What a thrill this ride provides. I can't imagine there will be another ride like ths built anytime soon. Ride this beast while you still can.

I wanted to love this Herb Schmeck classic, but it just did not have enough oomph! The first speed hill is too elongated to deliver airtime. The final run of airtime hills had a trim that robbed the train of its speed. Still, it is a classic, century year old coaster.

I was expecting a brutal jolt at the end, but it felt more like a shimmy than a pothole. I was pleasantly surprised by this mini dive coaster. While it lacked the height of the 200' dive coasters, it had no dull, mid-course brake. I felt the shake just before the brake run, but it was not enough to spoil the experience for me. This is a perfect fit for a park the size of Dorney. (2×)

My first Intamin Impulse coaster was a good fun. I liked the launches (5 bursts). It is like a giant swinging ship! I got a bit of headbanging on the twisted forward spike, but the ride was enjoyable. (2×)

This is a solid, mid-tier B&M looper on par with Medusa at SFGA. I liked the Jojo roll at the start, and the sequence of elements was nice. I had hoped that the airtime hill behind the station had delivered a pop of airtime, but it was very mild. (2×)

Large, 90s B&M stand-up coaster. Slow loading hampers capacity. The stand-up concept seems to have been a novelty that has passed. I would love to see a new-age Vekoma looper (like Feonix or Lech Coaster) in this space.

Wow! This out RMCs RMC. I was amazed at the airtime over the camelback hills. My thighs were sore after two rides. My lone Intamin pre fab credit; solid and intense.
