Coaster reviews

Location Fun Duration Capacity Dead spots Intensity

These alpine coasters are always plain fun. This one doesn’t pull too many forces but it does have some fun turns and dips. Not to mention it’s beautiful too, especially at night with that great light package. The throughput for these rides is also not great so I had to wait a while since there was a lot of people there. Overall it’s nothing that amazing but still a fun experience.

Nice surprise! Location Hangtime Discomfort Dead spots Intensity

It’s really not as bad as people say. It hurts a little bit due to the bad transitions, especially during the helixes but the pain is definitely manageable. This coaster also surprised me with the random airtime and lateral combo entering the mid course and the insane hangtime during the corkscrews. Most of the ride is boring, pointless and forceless though so it still isn’t that good.

Nice surprise! Location Dead spots Intensity

This kinda surprised me with the butterflies on its first drop and one really good swing later during the ride. Other than that it’s pretty slow and forceless, but at least it’s relaxing and scenic.

Airtimes Pace Intensity Rattle

I rode this two times in the back row, and I was pretty impressed. GCI did a great job with this coaster. The pacing is great and the first drop in the back row is excellent. The layout is fantastic with plenty of airtime and fun moments. All around, it is a great coaster that is intense and just plain fun to ride. The intensity comes from the violent dips and turns, which in my opinion makes it better. Great woody! Only downfall is that it can be a little rough in certain spots, but I think that it adds to the intensity more than actually hurting the experience.

Theming Launch Disappointing! Discomfort Dead spots

People always told me that these backlot clones were some of the best family coasters but this coaster really didn’t do much for me. The launch was fun and the helix was decently intense but everything else either did nothing or was uncomfortable.

Intensity Headbanging Too short Layout

I’ve ridden this a lot and it’s pretty inconsistent, some days it’s very intense while other days it’s almost completely forceless, sometimes it’s smooth while other times it gives a lot of head banging. On average this is probably what I would rate it, it’s still just a boomerang so pretty bland and mediocre.

Intensity Too short Layout

Pretty intense ride and relatively comfortable thanks to the vests. It is a boomerang however so it has an unoriginal layout and is pretty short. These boomerangs are just mediocre rides to me and this one is no different.

Pace Intensity Duration

This ride is an absolute beast. It has by far the best and strongest laterals I’ve experienced and probably on any coaster. The whole ride is very fast paced and out of control as you travel through a great setting in the woods. There is lots of laterals throughout the whole ride but the best moment is undoubtedly that helix. Even though this helix is towards the end of the ride you still hit it at breakneck speed and immediately get slammed with the strongest laterals I’ve ever felt, and these laterals keep getting progressively stronger as you are pinned to the side of your seat for about 15 seconds straight and you even get a floater pop while these laterals are happening towards the end. It is one of the most insane elements I’ve ever experienced. This ride even has some nice airtime on the first drop if you are in the back and on the double up. This ride also is extremely long and has a nice layout and collection of elements. The ride is a bit rough but I can handle it fine. Also night rides are spectacular. Overall this ride has top notch pacing and laterals and is one of the best as far as traditional woodies go.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Dead spots Intensity

This is definitely one of the best mine train coasters. The theming is cool and the ride has some surprising moments of laterals. The ride is also just plain fun and not rough at all. It’s a family coaster so it doesn’t pull that strong of forces but it’s great for what it’s intended to be.

Theming Nice surprise! Discomfort Dead spots

It’s more of a dark ride so the theming is cool but it doesn’t really do much, however the ending has 3 solid drops that surprised me but these hurt your back a little due to the unpadded seats. The ride is really just mediocre overall but it is kind of strange.
