Coaster reviews

Disappointing!

I am not bothered by the shin guards, but if I were, then I could totally call this by far the worst ride I've ever ridden. You will not feel airtime or laterals on this Wild Mouse... strange since these are the hallmarks of a common installation of this model. The hard hitting trims present neuter the forces to an extent where there are no forces felt. Thus providing a forceless experience. Timberline Twister is an all around stronger ride than this.

Lap Bar Launch Smoothness Dead spots Layout

This ride is a blast. The reason you ride is that beautiful 82 mile per hour launch, that accelerates to full speed in 2 seconds, that gives you a gut punch unlike no other... and is on LAP BARS! Even though this ride suffers thanks to its forceless overbooks and slow pacing at the end, the launch alone makes this ride amazing.

Theming Location Fun

This ride is a nice mine train through Fiesta Village at Knott's. the station is well themed, the rides location in Fiesta Village cramped between the pyramid station, Silver Bullet, Montezooma, and the flat rides makes the views awesome, and this ride is long. Sit in the 1st car 3rd row to get an awesome ejector pop.

Nice surprise! Intensity Headbanging

This ride packs one hell of a punch with the out of control spinning and intense helixes. You will come off with a great gut punched aftershock, and you'll definitely want to ride again... this ride is fun for the whole family. Be aware though that at the ending helix there's a moment where your neck could potentially get banged hard.

Inversions Location Intensity Dead spots Layout

Up until recently I was one of this invert's strongest defenders. I had what was probably the most positive review of it in this platform, defending and finding the good in almost every aspect of this ride... however, after lots of thought and consideration, my love for it went down a TON... not really love anymore. While I think this ride is fun, smooth, and marathonable, I can't say it's the most forceful... the inversions this ride features aren't very intense. Some of them, like the zero g roll, provide a feeling of weightlessness, but most of them don't even provide a hint of gut punch or positive g force. This is due to the rides nonexistent whip... thanks to it's shallow drop, it doesn't have the momentum to speed thru the course providing amazing G force. So for almost all of the layout, the ride feels like a graceful flight... I will give props to B&M for including the amazing ending helix in the ride... you feel positives crushing you down, leaving you absolutely unable to move or think. If it weren't for this powerful ending, this coaster would honestly be completely forgettable ride experience wise. Shame it has a height requirement of 54 inches, because it would be a great ride for the little ones who enjoyed Jaguar... similar ride forces wise, just in inverted position, goes upside down, and with an intense ending. Also since this is Knott's, the ride will suffer from atrocious operations... I'd suggest waiting up until night when the rides a station wait because if it's lower than that then you're in for a 30 min or more wait

Theming Comfort Masterpiece

My #1 ranked rollercoaster. This Intamin masterpiece delivers on every front. It's a jack of all trades, it's not the best at anything but it's good at everything. The launches are great but not incredibly forceful, the layout has both ejector and floater airtime. Depending on the time of day the inversions are either very whippy or filled with hangtime. The trains are very comfortable and make you feel very exposed. The ride is forceful but not to the point that it would turn away some of the GP. I think the word that best describes this coaster is accessible, both GP and enthusiasts can enjoy it immensely! And finally, how can you talk about VelociCoaster without mentioning the Mosasaurus roll over the water. It's whippy, intense and a surreal experience, you almost feel as if you could touch the water.

Intensity

Nice and intense B&M invert. Besides the cobra roll which sucks big time (just like basically every other cobra roll), and some dead straight sections the ride is great. A shame the station is rusty and everything looks like it came out of some kind of deserted town.

Smoothness Pointless

Quite a shame. Besides the fact that walygator wasn't very well kept at the time of my visit, this ride felt like such wasted potential. It did exceed my expectations as it is overhated for sure. I was expecting something like movieparks bandit but it was actually really smooth for a woodie, nice. Unfortunately whoever designed this perfectly engineered every hill to be shaped so it doesn't give any airtime no matter where you sit making the ride completely pointless. Quite a shame as this ride yould be a real winner if the hills had the Robin Hood (walibi) kind of drops.

Fun

Great to see that this model is not dead. Nice and smooth, a fun ride.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

One of my favourite powered MackProdukt. The front lights worked very well with the tunnel and the theming just made it a surprisingly fun ride.
