    First Drop Smoothness Layout

    This was my first giga coaster, and it was an amazing experience. I obviously haven't ridden any other B&M gigas other than this (Leviathan and Fury), but I really loved the airtime and the layout. That last floater airtime hill in particular was nuts. A great addition to the Kings Island lineup.

    Inversions Smoothness

    Awesome floorless coaster. The inversions are awesome and it's a very fun ride. My ride was also very smooth, and I didn't notice any rattling.

    First Drop Hangtime Rattle Discomfort

    I didn't find it to be nearly as bad as what other enthusiasts say, but it's not particularly memorable. The first drop into the underwater tunnel is pretty cool and there's some nice hangtime moments, but it's a one and done kind of coaster. There's also a noticeable rattle.

    First Drop Ejectors Lap Bar

    Awesome RMC coaster. The first barrell roll drop is a unique element and provides some amazing airtime. The whole thing is basically an airtime machine. The first overbank is a noteworthy element, but my personal favorite part is the three consecutive ejector hills following it. The restraints can be a bit cumbersome, but it's not that bad. A must ride at Kings Dominion.

    Launch Intensity Layout

    One of the best coasters out there. Extremely well designed and super intense. It looks rather unassuming from the outside, but it's absolutely nuts. The second launch was also way more forceful than I was expecting. Please don't miss this one when you go to Cedar Point.

    Fun Smoothness

    A really fun coaster, especially if both trains are running. It's also extremely smooth for its age.

    First Drop Intensity Ejectors Rattle Discomfort

    It's a bit rough, but it's still a must ride in the park due to its historical value. It also has a pretty great first drop and awesome ejector moments. I love the 80s space/futuristic vibe. It's almost always a walk on, so you can just marathon it.

    Inversions Location Fun Rattle Too short

    Not that bad of a ride. It's not the smoothest ride in the world, but it still is decently fun. As long as you keep your expectations reasonable you should be fine. A CP classic for sure.

    First Drop Smoothness

    My favorite first drop on any coaster. I love how it keeps a true sense of speed throughout and is very smooth for its age.

    I thought this was very fun and underrated. The open and airy feel of it really add to it, and the launches and spikes are great too
