Launch Fun Intensity Rattle Too short Layout

The second most intense experience you will ever experience.

Airtimes Inversions Duration Capacity Reliability

This ride is just something else. Was really hard for me to rank because of just how different it is. Weirdly the coaster it reminds me of the most is Fahrenheit, similar inversion style that surprisingly has a lot of airtime. While not even the 2nd best hyper in PA, it’s still a good coaster.

Fun Smoothness Disappointing!

I feel like this coaster is highly overrated. It's not bad by any means, it's a great ride, but I feel like I overhyped it too much in my mind. I don't mind the restraints, they were fine in my opinion, but I felt like nothing stuck out to me. I don't understand why so many people love and praise this ride. I feel like it's just a basic hypercoaster. I probably should get another ride on this the next time I'm on the east coast.

Rattle Discomfort

This E&F kiddie coaster is pretty bad. I remember I would always ride this when I was younger, and every time I rode this, I came out quite happy but extremely beat up. I would just ride this once for the credit and go to Knott's or ride Rewind Racers nearby.

This ride was nothing special, but it was paced better than Flitzer, and was far more comfortable than Python, the two other "major" coasters on the Ocean City boardwalk that it had to compete with for about a decade. You could do worse.

Location Launch Fun Capacity Harness

Wicked Twister is one of those rides that you don’t think is the best or one of the best, but you just enjoy it for what it is. That LIM launch is forceful, but the first few times going up the spikes aren’t that good. It’s not until you get to full speed that you really feel the power of the ride. The back spike in the back is just insane, and I think the ride is perfectly fine. I definitely felt like they should have taken something else down, but I understand why it had to be the dangling coaster to go.

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Reliability

I rode Lightning Rod in May of 2021 right after the I-Box retrack, and I loved every little bit of it (except reliability). The launch was decently forceful, the drop provided great airtime, the wave turn gave stellar sideways hangtime/airtime, and the twist and shout is just insane. One of the most underrated moments of the ride is the airtime hills leading up to the quad down. These provide INSANE ejector, and I might even prefer them to the quad down. The quad down itself is a bit overrated, but the ejector is great. Overall, Lightning Rod is a great RMC that places at #3 in my rankings (#2- Fury 325 #1- Steel Vengeance).

Location Smoothness

A fun little family coaster. I rode this when I was a GP but I think I remember this coaster being pretty smooth, considering it was made in 1953 (although it might have been my GP brain at the time). I'd also say that this coaster has a nice setting. It's right next to the Sensō-Ji temple found in Asakusa. If you're visiting Asakusa, or happen to be at the Sensō-Ji temple, you should check this coaster and it's park out.

Airtimes Theming Masterpiece

This is the closest I think you can get to a fully themed wood coaster in the US. It is amazing, great backstory, great ride, great airtime. A true favorite and was the unexpected highlight of my Kings Island visit.

Inversions Nice surprise! Launch Too short Capacity

Guaranteed to be one of the slowest moving lines you will ever wait for, but still worth it. I think it’s the best ride at Great America but it’s really close with Goliath. Also the ride being 30 seconds long is kind of a bummer.
