Coaster reviews

Comfort Fun Too short

This is a good ride for all ages, just too short for thrill-seekers. Rode in the second row and it was fun, but didn't feel the need to ride again.

Layout Rattle Discomfort Tear it down!

I used to justify this ride but in my recent ride, Roar is nothing more than pure RMC real estate. The ride does nothing but severe shaking and jackhammering. I can handle wooden roller coasters through the best of me but this is too much. While the layout is creative but the ride is forceless. Please Six Flags... RMC this abomination. This ride also breaks down a lot as well.

Pointless

This is a typical family coaster with little in the way of forces. There is nothing wrong with the ride, but it is somewhat pointless given there is another, similarly-sized, and better themed family coaster at the park.

Capacity

This is a typical family coaster except for that it runs above the walkways and other attractions. It reminded me a lot of the Santa Monica West Coaster and had a similar feel. There was the slightest hint of airtime in some of the hills, but aside from that there were no real forces. It also did have a rattle but it was not enough to bother me. One other big downside is that this coaster only has one train, so the line moves pretty slow. Get this one out of the way and then enjoy the other rides at this park.

Disappointing! Layout

The only reason people consider this a "water coaster" is because it has one dip before the final drop. Other than that, this is a typical log flume, and honestly not even a good one. It has a simple and short out and back layout, with some minor "mining" theming. Aside from the final drop, the ride is quite boring.

Rattle Discomfort

This was my first Volare, and it honestly wasn't as painful as I was expecting. It is by no means a good ride as it is very shaky, the transitions are uncomfortable and slam you around, and the restraints only worsen these problems. However, I wouldn't say its unbearably painful. The inline twists were actually fairly smooth and it was just the turns that knocked me around. Brace yourself when you're riding this and you won't be hurt too much.

Discomfort

This was my first boomerang (before I was a true enthusiast) and I didn't think it was that bad. The headbanging and intensity was less than on other installations, and I would still ride this during every visit. I am glad they changed it out for something better, but it will definitely stay in the upper half of my boomerang rankings.

Location Dead spots

This is your average family ride with the only distinguishing factor being that its indoors. The theming is not that great, but the mountain gets you out of the sun. It's not even dark on the inside because they have lights around the interior walls, so you can definitely see where you are going. I was expecting a little more out of this coaster, but its fine for a family ride.

First Drop Duration Dead spots

When I rode this back in 2014, I did not think it was especially bad. I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoy other old wood coasters such as the defunct Colossus at Magic Mountain. No there was not any airtime, yes the coaster crawled around the turns, and yes the coaster rattled, but that is like most old wooden coasters. The drops were fun because of the massive scale of this coaster, and I did not find the rattle to be overly uncomfortable. Other woodies like Grizzly at CGA are much worse. It's awesome that Mean Streak has been converted into a top tier RMC, but I am not going to say this was a terrible ride in its original form.

Nice surprise! Fun Too short

Disclaimer: I last rode this 5 years ago, so this review is off memory. While this ride is a small scale spinning coaster, it is still quite fun. The layout is pretty good and has a couple intense moments near the ground, but it is also too short in my opinion. Overall a solid family coaster.
