Coaster reviews

Disappointing! Discomfort Tear it down!

The WORST roller coaster at Worlds of Fun. Not safe to ride on. Uncomfortable restraints and seats, bad for your legs. Never will ride again until they get rid of this joke!

Theming Rattle Discomfort

Is this what all SBF coasters are like?

First Drop Capacity Nice surprise!

This is a fantastic B&M Hyper. I was finally able to get a real ride in the back row and it made all the difference to earn it an extra half-star. I feel all B&M Hypers should have incorporated the pre-drop bounce to get momentum for the real deal. It truly does whip you over the hill for one of the better drops I've experienced on a coaster. Don't sleep on a front-row ride though. I know most B&M Hypers have more airtime hills for sustained floater but even with random trims, I got a lot of floater in the front. Plenty of great drops in the back row throughout the ride though. The helix near the end is also pretty intense. It doesn't keep the speed the entire way through which is a negative but I feel the positives outweigh the negatives. I've never had Raging Bull in my top 3 for the park but this one can comfortably slide in at #2 behind Goliath based on a back-row ride alone. 4.5/5 stars

Launch Pace Smoothness Intensity

This is a great family coaster. The launches are quite forceful and while the rest of the ride doesn’t pull much force, it’s an extremely long ride that is packed full of fluid transitions and fun elements and it never seems to lose its pace. Really the only reason I can’t rank it higher is because most of the ride is forceless.

Headbanging Harness Discomfort

To be honest I was expecting worse, but this one still sucks really bad. During the turns your shoulders get slammed into the cage, during the rolls your entire body rolls around in the cage and during the entire ride my throat got pushed into the restraint making me feel like I had to throw up the entire time. The headbanging was not as bad as on a Vekoma SLC though in my experience. Nevertheless, this one goes straight into my bottom top 3 along with Vampire at Walibi Belgium and Viking at Energylandia. These 3 are just the worst of the worst. Trombi just makes me wonder: didn't Zamperla test this ride before selling it? There's no way anyone could say: "ah yes, that was fun, let's sell it to parks to let more people enjoy this washing machine!"

Harness Disappointing! Discomfort

Since I liked Sky Scream at Holiday Park, I expected this one to be no different. And yet I wonder, what went wrong with this one? The restraints felt so much more painful, launches felt weaker and I didn't get the ejector airtime that I did get on Sky Scream. Such a disappointment Hype was. It's not worth the hype.

Nice surprise! Fun Hangtime

Was afraid this would ride like Vekoma's SLC but this one is so much better. It is pretty smooth and pulls some nice positives. The heartline rolls offer some hangtime as well. Good job Intamin!

Fun Discomfort

This is a pretty fun ride with all the little hills and turns, but the train just isn't very comfortable. I prefer the Vekoma motorbike, that one makes me feel like I'm actually riding a motorbike.

Smoothness

For an old Zierer, it is butter smooth. Other than that, just a +1.
