Coaster reviews

Theming Inversions Capacity

Steel Curtain is all about inversions. And it does them really well. It's also got a Pittsburgh Steelers football theme that isn't the greatest theming in the park or anything, but executed well enough to be fun. Only running one train though, and that lift hill takes forever.

Inversions Dead spots

I rode Sky Rocket first train of the day, so I admittedly likely got a slow ride, but it didn't look like it had really sped up much by the time I left the park. The hangtime on the top hat was great, and it had some fun inversions, but the second half of the ride was so random it detracted from the good first half.

Fun Smoothness Dead spots

Racer doesn't do a whole lot, but for a nearly 100-year old wooden coaster, it's running really smoothly. It seems like it's designed so that one side will always end up winning. It's a fun ride, but not particularly impressive.

Airtimes Intensity Too short

Phantom's Revenge is all about airtime. It delivers some of the greatest airtime I've ever experienced. It is a little on the short side, but what it does in a short amount of time is simply fantastic. Excellent coaster.

Airtimes Smoothness Ejectors Dead spots

Jack Rabbit is incredibly well preserved. It ran really well. The double down is absolutely wild. The rest of the layout is not special, but that double down has such good airtime that it makes up for it.

Theming Fun Capacity Reliability

Exterminator had the longest line in the park by far. Be warned. It also opened late and went down during my wait. That said, this is a fun coaster with good theming. It's a spinning wild mouse, so it's not an exceptional coaster, but it is very enjoyable.

First Drop Smoothness Intensity

Valravn is very floaty and graceful. Nothing about it is super in-your-face. But nonetheless, it's a great coaster. The second half stands out as the slow zero g roll provides some solid hangtime followed by a fun floater airtime hill. It's nowhere near Cedar Point's best coaster or anything, but it's certainly a good one worth doing.

Airtimes Inversions Masterpiece

This is the best coaster I've ever ridden. This ride delivers exceptional airtime constantly. The inversions are wild, especially that stall thing it does shortly before the mid course brake run. The pacing is relentless. As the ride naturally slows down, the elements shrink to keep the pacing up to par. This is hands down my number one favorite coaster and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Inversions Rattle

Rougarou is fun. It's not a particularly fantastic floorless coaster, but it has some fun inversions. Ultimately, though, it's held back by a noticeable rattle. Not a bad coaster by any means. Just not particularly impressive.
