Ricochet • Carowinds

Smoothness Capacity Disappointing! Discomfort

ricochet is just meh. This ride is heavily trimmed to the point where it really ruins the ride experience. I love a good wild mouse as im a fan of laterals, but this ride is simply not a great wild mouse. Due to the trims the ride has many sudden and uncomfortable slowdown points that are really a huge con about this ride. I gave this ride 2 stars because it still has some okay lateral forces, but other than that the ride is pretty terrible.

I kinda consider myself a wild mouse specialist so my review should kind of count as the gospel on this ride. This ride was adequate for a wild mouse. I was extreamly whelmed.

Discomfort Dead spots

Ricochet is a bad Wild Mouse. It has extremely sudden and uncomfortable stops. It had a fairly long line compared to the rest of the park. It's not comfortable. Ricochet is even bad compared to other wild mouses.

Discomfort Dead spots

Boring Wild Mouse that's also pretty uncomfortable.

Location Fun Discomfort Intensity

You cannot expect a wildmouse coaster to not be uncomfortable and whippy. But this one is relatively smooth and the small airtime hills make for a small but fun ride element. I only ride this ride if I am over there by the County Fair. I woud not go out of my way or across the park to ride this ride. Great for kids. 4-seat cars and fast moving lines as it is a shorter ride.

Theming Capacity Discomfort

Boring ride that is very uncomfortable, it does have some decent theming though.
