Coaster reviews

Disappointing! Discomfort Tear it down!

I rode this in June. And it was very fun. I then rode it in September of the same year, and it was the roughest coaster I’ve ever been on. Very painful, not enjoyable at all! They either need to tear it down or re-track it, because it’s insanely rough!

Three letters: R. M. C. Give Carowinds something worthwhile. Please. Gravity Group, maybe? Carowinds could have an elite big 3 right next to one another: Fury 325, a more modern Twisted Timbers, & then a massive Gravity Group woodie sitting on the Slaughterhouse scarehouse behind Carolina Cyclone.

For some reason, I love this ride. No idea why, but it's undeservingly high in my rankings. It's just a fun, powerful B&M. I'd give it 5 but I know it isn't.

Layout

Sea Serpent has some actually powerful laterals! The ride op didn't blink an eye seeing a teenager trying to fit their legs into the tiny car. Fun Spot is obviously the best park out there :) I'd guess ~2.3 meters tall for the page.

Theming Capacity

I got a VR ride way back when, I feel like I should give it some credit for that. When it reopened from Covid without it, it went back to being your standard large-park wild mouse. The VR did sync up opening week though. I feel bad for people that got unsynced rides.

Deservant of being part of Cedar Point's lineup.

Location Discomfort Tear it down! Pointless

Updated September 2024 review: Garbage. Awkward, janky, uncomfortable mess of a “kiddie coaster”. Honestly the turns are so abrupt and janky that you can barely call it a kid-friendly ride. K3 is a much better option as it actually is smooth. This has some of the most uncomfortable trains out there with unpadded plastic trains and weird plastic seat dividers that aren’t present on the other Zierer Tivoli coasters that I’ve ridden. They dig into your thigh and are just a nuisance and does even prevent your from sliding left and right in your seat. The turns are terribly jolty and uncomfortable. It’s rattly and has some really bad turns. Just get the cred and move on. There’s a much better kiddie coaster next-door. Original review: This is just an average kiddie/family coaster. There is not much to say about it. The theme is... weird, but the layout is decent and the two cycles make it a decently long ride. The train is also quite long so that helps with capacity. The issues with this ride are the jerks in the transitions, they are not awful, just.. there, and the trains, if you are an adult, are quite uncomfortable. The seats are unpadded plastic so they are quite uncomfortable. The ending turn also feels like someone used auto complete in Roller Coaster Tycoon. Update July 2024: This coaster is useless. K3 Roller Skater is right around the corner and much better all around. LikeMe Coaster has there weird pads that sort of divide the seat in two but all they really do is dig into your thigh. The layout is extremely uneventful but it's decently smooth for what it is. I got two laps in December but only one in July but honestly given that the ride is pretty meh I'm fine with it. I like its location near the lake through a few trees. The queue closes at 18:30, way earlier than the rest of the park (22:30), so make sure you get the cred early in the day. I just hope it gets replaced by an actual good family coaster one day.

I thought this would be a substantial downgrade from Shockwave but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the layout still holds up - that Zero G Roll is beautiful.

Pace Rattle Theming Discomfort

One of the most overrated coasters I've ever ridden. Has a notable rattle in the back, inversions can be extremely uncomfortable and flips from 1g to 4g like a light switch. It's just not a fun ride, but it's the only thing in this park that's worth doing more than once so you end up lapping it in a "how do I get my money's worth?" way, and not in a "I love this ride!" way.

First Drop Fun Duration Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

I rode this coaster 4 times and it’s 310 ft tall 80° degree 93 mph first drop refused to make my stomach drop and was easy for me to breath down that tall and steep first drop and the ride started giving me a headache like Hades 360° did to me for 1 minute after the first drop at 60 mph 10 times once on August 15, 2021, once on August 10, 2022 while the ride’s lap bar was punching me in the stomach for 1 minute after the first drop at 60 mph, twice on August 11, 2023 while the ride’s lap bar was punching me in the stomach for 1 minute after the first drop at 60 mph, 4 times on August 30, 2024 while the ride’s lap bar was punching me in the stomach for 1 minute after the first drop at 60 mph and twice on September 1, 2024 while the ride’s lap bar was punching me in the stomach for 1 minute after the first drop at 60 mph for 1 minute after the first drop at 93 mph while I was sitting next to nick hough on it on August 3, 2023 and that took my breath away despite being voted the best steel coaster in the world in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 before the Falcon’s Flight Roller Coaster at Six Flags Qiddiya in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia breaks that record in early 2025 instead of early 2023 and October 2024
