Corkscrew • Cedar Point

Headbanging Harness Discomfort

The only pro of this coaster was that the wait time to get on was not long. That being said, the coaster kind of hurts. My husband had to fold himself into origami to fit in the car, and my neck/head was constantly being thrown against my harness. This coaster has the potential to be good but the cars and harnesses need a revamp.

This is a painful ride and while it looks beautiful, the ride feels like being tossed into a blender (ok maybe not that bad).

Airtimes Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity

This ride was surprisingly pretty fun. The airtime hill actually provides some great flojector airtime which I wasn’t expecting and the vertical loop was enjoyable. Plus I found this thing quite smooth. Definitely an underrated classic arrow looper

Rattle Headbanging

It was my first coaster with inversions when I rode it back in 1979. It was quite the thrill back then, and the lines for it were LONG. Today, it is very shaky, there's rarely a line, and it puts a lot of stress on your lower back.

Not my cup of tea but I respect the history.

Needs to be replaced with an RMC raptor or a wild mouse over the midway. Too damn uncomfortable and painful.

Location Headbanging Discomfort

Very painful and uncomfortable ride. Not as bad as Green lantern at Six flags GADV but still very uncomfortable. It has its place in Cedar points lineup though. 2/10

Airtimes Location Fun Too short Harness

I only got 1 ride on this during my 2021 Ohio Trip and I got to admit that Corkscrew is a really fun ride! I sat in the front row and I got a nice pop of ejector airtime on the speed hill and the vertical loop pulled some insane G’s. The corkscrews also gave some nice hangtime. This ride may be short, but it sure packs a solid ride experience!

Nice surprise! Fun Ejectors Too short Dead spots

This ride has ejector! Better than Gemini, and really close to Magnum. I don't see how it's rough, the inversions are so good as well. Hope this sticks around a long time.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Discomfort

Very underrated ride, has a few bad transitions but overall not enough to detract from the ride and that speed hill is amazing. It’s 5 seconds of sustained flojector and while the rest of the ride doesn’t do anything that one moment is good enough to make the ride

Bad headache afterwards

Airtimes Discomfort Dead spots

This isn't the worst ride in the world, but it isn't anywhere close to the best. The drop had some wacky airtime in the back and the loop was rather intense. Everything else is too poorly profiled to enjoy.

Inversions Location Fun Rattle Too short

Not that bad of a ride. It's not the smoothest ride in the world, but it still is decently fun. As long as you keep your expectations reasonable you should be fine. A CP classic for sure.

Fun airtime hill but there are definitely better arrow loopers

Tear it down!

Absolutely horrendous

Too short Discomfort

Waited way too long to ride it so I'm pretty soured on this Arrow. This is probably the worst Arrow I've ridden...and that says something. Certainly photogenic so I'm sure its not going anywhere but it is a short painful ride that doesn't do much. Skip it if the wait is over 20mins.

Headbanging Dead spots

Worst ride i have ever ridden.

Inversions Hangtime Headbanging Dead spots

Gets too much hate. It's better than Raptor. I got some great airtime and hangtime last time because my seatbelt wasn't on. Lol.

Location Discomfort

This Arrow coaster is very historic, but is very much overshadowed by the other attractions at Cedar Point. The layout is relatively unique with the airtime hill, as most other corkscrew models of this size don't have one. It's been a while since I've ridden this, but I know that it was a little rough and uncomfortable, but not as bad as other Arrows. I would understand if they took this ride out but it would have to be for something good and not a family ride.

fun, but underwhelming

Location Too short Layout Intensity

While an incredibly significant model in coaster history, the Corkscrew has not aged well. While I didn't get nearly as much of the famed roughness that this ride is known for, there's just not much to this ride in terms of elements and intensity, to the point where watching the trains traverse the signature corkscrew is more enjoyable than actually riding it. This ride may have blown minds back in the 70s, but now it's clinging to relevance with its historical clout alone. If you're not an obsessive credit collector, or a coaster history aficionado, you'd probably be better off spending your time on other rides.

This Arrow Looper is really pretty to look at as it’s two corkscrew go directly over the midway. However the ride experience itself is not great. The ride is uncomfortable with lots of headbanging and has a short layout with one loop, and airtime hill, and two corkscrew. This is an early Arrow so you can’t expect much from it but it’s not very good.

Inversions Location Headbanging Discomfort

Corkscrew is, in my opinion, the second roughest ride in the park behind Rougarou in terms of head banging. The restraints are okay, and the vertical loop has some nice force, but it gets a little too bumpy and jerky approaching the corkscrews. It’s bearable, but I wouldn’t go on again.

Location Headbanging Harness Discomfort

The infamous pre-CAD Arrow transitions strike harder here than any other coaster I've ever ridden. The drop is solid, as is the hill and loop. The transition into the turn is rough, but it's nothing compared to the jerk coming out of the second corkscrew. Have a chiropractor on speed dial if you set foot in the queue - your neck and back will thank you.

Airtimes Inversions Location Headbanging Too short

A short little ride with an airtime hill and some loops. There's headbanging on the corkscrews, but otherwise it's a fun ride that I hope sticks around, especially because of how awesome the corkscrew midway is.

Ok, this is an Arrow classic. And not the most comfortable one.
