Coaster reviews

Theming Fun Smoothness Too short

In a park that is certainly lacking ride and queue theming, this coaster delivers on both fronts. This one is very fun even if it is still a family coaster. The cars are also not very comfortable to sit in for taller individuals.

Theming Duration

This ride is, as most Disney rides are, incredibly themed. The iconic dome is visible throughout the park, and the ride inside does not disappoint. It's a long ride, and feels a lot faster than it really is because of the darkness. My only complaint is during one section, a downward helix, the onboard audio gets really loud and left my ears ringing for a few minutes.

Theming Fun Smoothness Dead spots

Fun, smooth, and unique. This is a recipe for a pretty solid ride. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a newer Vekoma mine train, and provides a fun, well-themed experience. Nothing extraordinary though. Worth a visit.

Smoothness Too short

It's a smooth, albeit extremely short family coaster, and is fine for what it is.

Theming Disappointing!

My low rating of this ride is mostly my fault. For some reason I came into this ride expecting a LOT and it gave me very little. Probably the most disappointed I've ever been after a ride. I don't know why I expected so much, but I owe this coaster a reride. The theming is also incredible of course, as is the typical Disney World standard.

Airtimes Rattle Discomfort

I haven't ridden Timber Wolf since the retrack, so I need to get back to ride it again soon. But when I rode it back in 2016 it was so so so painful. The roughness was practically unbearable. I don't even remember if it had airtime or not because I was so focused on the roughness. I've heard it runs a little better these days and actually has airtime, but for now, this is near the bottom of my list.

Pace Fun Rattle

Prowler has the best pacing out of any coaster I've been on (which isn't much considering I've only ridden 31 coasters as of the writing of this review) and has a great setting going out into the woods. It has nonstop rapid elements, roaring through airtime hills and fast turns that provide great laterals. It's a little rough, but I mean come on, it's a wooden coaster. Prowler is currently the only GCI I have been on, but if I were to judge GCI by Prowler alone, I'd say they were a success. Prowler is the best coaster at Worlds of Fun.

Theming Nice surprise!

Fire In The Hole is a well themed dark ride/coaster that has some very surprising drops at the end, and a semi-splashdown. A fun little ride that is a great complimentary coaster to this elite lineup at Silver Dollar City. Worth checking out if the line isn't too long.

Airtimes Launch Pace

This coaster flat out rocks! It has a fantastic launch, great elements, airtime and overbanked turns for days, and is glass smooth. Powder Keg will not disappoint. The back and front rows are where it's at here.

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.
