Coaster reviews

Masterpiece

Great ride. Was surprisingly smooth for a woody with all the action. Best part was there was literally no wait times. Went 2 days in a 3 day period and 0-5 minute posted wait times both days with basically no waiting. Got to ride in the front. back and middle.

Inversions Location Intensity Capacity Discomfort

My favorite of the 3 Flying Dutchmen that were built. This is definitely a front row ride because all other rows are just not that great to be honest, except maybe the back if you want some whip and don't mind getting beat up a little.

First Drop Intensity Smoothness

This is definitely a front row coaster. Very smooth, quite intense after the first drop and first inversion, and with some small moments of airtime. Ride it at the end of your day, the difference between a morning and an evening run is enormous.

When riding forwards, this thing is actually quite fun. Backwards is terrible though.

It gets humour points for being a really funny ride. It's one of those rides where you keep thinking "that was godawful" but then you slowly put the pieces together and remember/realise that it was pretty comedic.

Nice surprise! Fun Duration Rattle Headbanging

Very fun and unexpected ride experience! Even under a heavy rain. Headbanging due to the sudden turn into the corkscrew elements but the ride was undoubtedly a fun and enjoyable one. Some slight rattling but to be expected from an old Vekoma.

Inversions Intensity Discomfort

Blue Hawk is a solid mid-sized looper with a neat location, some good Gs (positive and laterals), a forceful butterfly loop you’ll only find on one other coaster, good headchoppers. However the ride is a bit shaky but at least there’s no head banging due to the vest restraints.

Theming Inversions Layout Rattle

A solid B&M floorless coaster. The inversions are fun, it has a good layout, and when the effects are working it adds to the experience. Some of the transitions are a little rough but nothing too bad.

Airtimes First Drop Layout

A phenomenal B&M hyper with some of the best floater airtime I've experienced. The layout and pacing are also great. A definite must ride at Great Adventure.

Launch Fun Intensity Rattle

Along with Top Thrill Dragster, this will likely be the most intense 30 seconds of your life. It is a bit of a one trick pony and very brief, but the pure insanity of the launch more than makes up for it. It's almost so fast that your body hasn't even processed what has just happened.
