Comfort Hangtime Intensity Reliability
First of all, the preshow before boarding is a really cool feature (now canceled due to COVID) and theming in the queue is nice. The ride itself is not intense, but still provides some fun: The backwards spike is especially in the back row really cool, the drop from the top hat provides some airtime and thanks to the comfortable blue-fire-style trains and lap bars, the comfort is pretty good. Unfortunately, pacing is very low, even when warmed up, there is strong hangtime in the inversions. The beginning with the switch track is quite impressing, when the whole train smoothly glides sidewards towards the launch track almost completely without a sound. Unfortunately, this coaster has a lot of downtime and operations are usually quite slow...

Capacity Intensity Duration Rattle Discomfort
The catchy soundtrack "Project EuroMir" is an absolute highlight, so the slow lift kinda feels like a rave, but it also leads to a high capacity and a long duration of the ride (almost five minutes long). After the "Wild Mouse"-Style curves around the towers offering nice views, the actual coaster part is pretty intense, especially when facing backwards. Unfortunately, the cars are quite uncomfortable and the ride can get very rough, especially when warmed up - but in the Winter season, this Russian coaster runs a lot smoother than in summer. Additionally, the winter soundtrack is one of the coolest christmas songs ever!

Fun Intensity Rattle Discomfort
Well this was a really rough janky ride from a past time, but that is what made it cool to ride. I found the ride historic but incredibly uncomfortable with its sit on the floor seating not to mention rough tracking. Overall a fun coaster that is good if you are willing to sacrifice your body a bit for a ride!

Comfort Fun Smoothness Too short Dead spots
Legend is a solid family friendly wooden coaster. I feel it is a step up from the woodstock express clones but not a legendary ride. But for an old wooden rollercoaster it is smooth given its near complete retrack and refurbishment which added modern magnetic breaks. This smoothness helps make the ride more fun but sadly the ride had very little airtime and basically no other forces, overall a wash to be honest. But the ride is still thrilling enough to earn three stars and it has a nice fun factor, its good fun but nothing special.

Comfort Intensity Layout Too short Capacity
Turbulence is a great Mack rides spinner with very intense moments and an overall awesome ride experience. While the employees were rude and disrespectful toward guests the ride itself offers great positive force, spinning action, and overall fun factor. I can not give it a perfect score because of that length, it is a ridiculously short ride lasting maybe 25 seconds from first drop to brakes, but what a sweet 25 seconds that is for sure!

Fun Too short Dead spots
Ok I like a good tivoli so no hate here, but they are basic family rides so honestly I had fun but its not really a special ride, not bad, not great, just fine.

Theming Fun Duration Rattle Capacity Dead spots
Wow, as one of my only experiances with dark ride/ rollercoaster hybrid I absolutely loved it. This is a great ride, the theme is dark yet well executed. It was basically a legit coaster turned into a creepy and awesome adventure as you seem to travel deep underground and slowly climb back to the surface. I absolutely love this ride and it will be a priority when I return. One thing that should be noted is this consistently had a 30 to 45 minute wait, so its a popular ride so hit it first, I did not hit it first because I did not know so now yall know and can avoid the line!

Lap Bar Rattle Disappointing! Pointless
What the heck, this ride was more boring than hurler at carowinds, like what made anyone think that this was a good layout concept. While it is nice to see a buzzbar wooden coaster operating, it doesnt matter much as there is absolutely no airtime so who the heck cares. Boring and rough this ride is just a disaster. I will say it because no one else has the guts to, William Cobb can not design rollercoasters, I have yet to ride a good ride from him nor have I seen one, talking to you Anaconda at Walygator parc, no way im looking forward to that ride much like I will probably avoid a reride except for footage reasons and that goes for all future William Cobb rides to be honest, what a one and done ride.

Smoothness Capacity Disappointing! Dead spots
For my first Maurer spinner I had high hopes after seeing pov videos of European Maurer spinners and spider at lagoon. Boy was I disappointed by phoenix. Basically no spinning, stacking so much that each midcourse would slam you to a near stop which further hurt the intensity. Overall this ride is a disastrous attempt at a spinner, I prefer a freaking Zamperla mouse to this ride!

First Drop Fun Intensity Rattle Discomfort
Outlaw rides like an outlaw, rough, rowdy, and out of control. With Legendary coaster designer Mike Boodley Designing this ride before leaving CCI this ride is a preview of GCI. Mr. Boodley and I speak often and he looks back on all his rides with humble thoughts which I think is amazing considering the high quality layouts and twisted track Mr. Boodley designed masterfully. Was outlaw a pretty rough ride at the start, I am sure not, He designed this ride to have tons of intensity with a small height of just under 70 feet, an amazing achievement. The ride twists and turns through a bumpy but intense course and was a great ride overall. Was I a little bruised, well yeah but i am younger so I can handle it!
