Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Location Fun

Thunderation is the greatest mine train of all time. This was one of my first larger roller coasters and oh man did I love it as a kid. From the setting, to the layout, to that wild helix into the tunnel and slanted final drop, Thunderation is an incredible ride and should not be slept on.

Lap Bar Nice surprise! Fun

This has way too low of a score here. I really can't think of a bad thing about Runaway Mountain, other than maybe the capacity. It's a really really fun ride, and that's the only way to put it. The darkness adds a whole other element, and that twisted drop midway through the ride is insane. It's glass smooth, and is also unique because it is the only operating non launched Premier Rides coaster. The queue has some decent theming, and it's great for when it rains. It does get quite long lines though. It's a top 5 coaster in the park overall though.

Location Pace Rattle

Wow this website hates on this ride! While I haven't ridden it in a good three years, it really didn't bother me that much with the roughness. Yes the brake runs are jarring and slightly uncomfortable but the out of control experience on this unique bobsled ride makes it a great ride. It's also one of the last remaining bobsleds in North America, so it's a unique credit and is very good for what it is. The lines can get CRAZY though, so I recommend using the single rider lines. Sacrifices have to be made sometimes, and your family might not get to ride together, but it's worth skipping the hour to two hour long wait.

Airtimes Fun Smoothness Theming Dead spots

Pandemonium is always a good time. It spins a lot, especially if you distribute the weight in the four-seat car extremely unevenly. It's smooth, has surprise airtime, and is just an all around good ride. It does have some dead spots and has zero theming (unless you count the Twix branding everywhere) and OH WAIT WHAT THE HECK IS THAT REPAINT.

Location Fun Rattle Airtimes Dead spots

Judge Roy is actually a fun ride. BUT only in the front row. It's not unbearably rough in the front, and is actually laugh out loud fun, likely because of the roughness. It has a great setting by a lake and really has a great classic wooden feel. Yes it has absolutely no airtime, and yes it's pretty rough anywhere but the front, but it's a great old woodie, and it might not be around for much longer, so get your rides in while you still can.

Inversions Fun Discomfort

Sure the model is more common than a sneeze, but Joker, as well as other S&S Freespins are still really fun rides, that provide hangtime, disorienting flips, and just overall fun.

Discomfort

Pretty uncomfortable, even for a kiddie coaster. But it does what it's supposed to do.

Theming Location Duration Rattle Dead spots

Runaway Mine Train is a long, relaxing, fun ride. It winds through the trees at a leisurely pace, sporting three lift hills and some typical janky mine train turns. The ending however, where you travel through a wester saloon and take a surprising drop into an underwater tunnel caps off a very solid mine train. I should add that it gets very long lines, so you might want to try this one earlier or later in the day.

Airtimes Nice surprise!

Sure it's a kiddie coaster, so it's not going to be amazing, but this ride actually has some surprisingly good airtime pops in the back row. It is also pretty well themed. Worth a ride if the line is short. Mr Beast sure thought so.

It does what it's supposed to do as a kiddie coaster.
