Coaster reviews

Airtimes Fun Layout

Very very fun dueling woodie. Operations were very good, and the layout sure didn't disappoint. Be sure to ride both sides! (this side seemed to win every time when I visited ;-) )

Fun Rattle Discomfort

Rode on the last weekend of operations, sweet Jesus was she rough. I enjoyed my ride, but it was a definite so-bad-it's-good kind of thing; that massive layout felt like a minute long car crash. I got off smiling, but most people were happy it'd be closing. Can't wait to see what becomes of her!

Yep, that's a wild mouse!

Location Smoothness Dead spots

Minetrain kiddie coaster. Quite boring for my blood, but probably fantastic for getting little ones on their first "big" ride.

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors

Transcendental, oppressive, eye-opening, unwavering. This ride blew my mind with how insanely intense it was. I honestly cannot believe they actually built this thing and let regular people ride it. When you hit those final brakes you either only hear other thoosies blowing their top over how incredible the ride was, or people complaining that the ride about snapped them in half. Know what you're getting into, this ride will not relent for you.

Airtimes Launch Layout Harness

Xcelerator with a layout! Phenomenal ride, all I wish is that it had Xcelerator's lapbars.

Fun Capacity

I'm a sucker for spinning rides so I kinda liked this one. Capacity really sucked, but this was also one of the only rides to operate the whole (very very wet and rainy) day when most of the rides were closed. So at least you have something to do if the sky decides to open up on you.

Airtimes First Drop Capacity Harness

Very fun/intense first drop and layout, but the harness isn't the best and the capacity is surprisingly low even when multiple trains are being sent. What looked like a very short queue turned into about a 45 minute wait, which ended up making a lot of sense when a quick Google search revealed that this thing has a max capacity of 850 riders an hour in perfect conditions.

First Drop Nice surprise! Pace Too short

InvadR receives a lot of hate that I don't think it deserves. Given the size and target audience of the attraction, I honestly think InvadR is ideal for Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It has a surprising great first drop (in the back row) followed by a short but relentless course packed with everything you would want from a tiny GCI twister woodie. Would I like it to be longer? Sure, but what is there is really quite good in my opinion.
