Coaster reviews

Theming Duration

Great mine train! Can't score it any higher given it's not the kind of ride that I enjoy the most, but it's fantastic for what it is.

Rattle

I'm not a big fan of water rides, at least not on dry parks, so I'm not a huge fan of this thing, but the coaster section was fun! While the theming wasn't as great as Orlando's the elevator lift was kinda fun! And it has a more substantial coaster section!

Dead spots

This was very smooth when I visited, but it was just... boring? I'm sure for its time this coaster was a huge milestone, but in more modern times, it did feel a bit pointless. It just went so sluggishly over these turns, and the ride wasn't racing when I went, so that took away the last chance for this ride to have a redeeming quality! Still, it's always sad to see a classic go, even if it didn't age well, rest in peace Colossus.

Capacity Pointless

I actually didn't hate this myself? I don't know how because everyone complains about this thing, and understandably so, but to me this was much more boring than uncomfortable. I think I got one flip if that, and it just like wiggled its way down, but I do not genuinely recall any discomfort. It was just kind of a pointless ride, which is a shame, I'm sure if it spun more it would have been more fun, but as it was, it felt like an overbraked wild mouse on its side.

Airtimes Launch Duration

This thing is a great family-thrill type ride! There's that one S-hill with some really wild whip for no reason (and the turn after the second launch is also very whippy) and the launches are surprisingly punchy, but other than that, the coaster maintains its pace nicely for a family coaster. You get some very light float, and the ride is just plain fun! Great addition to this park.

Inversions Intensity

This thing is such a sleeper hit at this park! Schwarzkopf loopers have a simple formula, but one that most definitely works! The lone vertical loop is of course the highlight, and it's great, the rest of the layout rounds out the experience. Great ride!

Airtimes Rattle Dead spots

This coaster is alright! Most of it isn't too intense or forceful, but there are some nice floater pops sprinkled throughout, and the turnaround is a good bit intense. The on-board music does a lot to cover up the less interesting spots of the ride! People also like to complain about the mid-courses, but they don't bother me, as you get some nice floater coming in and out of them. Enthusiasts definitely throw too much hate at this coaster, but it's nothing super special either!

Nice surprise! Smoothness Discomfort

I've been wary of getting on a FreeSpin for a while after a truly awful experience with Green Lantern: First Flight back in 2017. However, the different axis of rotation makes this ride SO much more comfortable, and actually pretty fun! I'll definitely ride one of these again, although there is still some mild discomfort for me due to the unpredictability of the flipping.

Intensity Dead spots

This ride is a lot of wasted potential, unfortunately. The drop doesn't do anything but get you up to speed, and the turnaround is mediocre. The airtime hill does give some light float, and the helix after the midcourse are intense! But given what a coaster this tall could have been, it really is a shame how many of the elements here don't hit :( Also, the MCBR gets you to a full stop and it absolutely saps every drop of the ride's momentum. I get why they do it (to make the helix at the end be a little bit less intense) but I don't think it accomplishes it's goal, because breaking the train to a halt compared to leaving it with 20 or so km/h really wouldn't change all that much, and it'd at least make the ride feel less broken up. Nonetheless, for the two elements in the ride that actually do hit, and for the sense of speed you get (even if said speed is not well-utilized) this ride is fun! Just don't go in expecting a B&M or Intamin hyper.
