Coaster reviews

Airtimes First Drop Smoothness Dead spots

Okay. I've certainly ridden coasters better than Wild Thing. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great ride, with a crazy moment of sustained ejector on the first drop in the back row, but the midcourse breakrun kills this ride. The helix in the middle of the ride is mostly forceless, with the exception of that one low to the ground turn right after tha high up helix, that turn has some good sustained positives. After that, the ride dies, and is completely forgettable. Have a fun time in the first half with airtime and some headchoppers, take a nap in the second half.

Airtimes Fun Layout Rattle

This GCI is almost perfect. In the back row, that drop is crazy, and that hill after the first drop has insane, sustained floater airtime in the back. Truly an amazing roller coaster. The only con for this ride is that it's a little shaky. After I got off of my 2nd ride on Renegade, and it was running really fast, I hurt my hip on one of the turns, because I didn't brace myself for the lateral forces of that turn. 2 rides was enough, and I was exhausted. Easily my number 1 coaster. Pure fun and madness.

Airtimes First Drop Intensity Too short Discomfort Reliability

In the back row, it is unbearably rough. The only pro of riding Excalibur in the back row is the first drop, which is very good in the back. It is much smoother in the front rows, and quite enjoyable too. I personally rank it as third best in the park, behind High Roller and Renegade.

FUN i love the coaster its smooth!

Airtimes Intensity Smoothness

So much better then Hurler. Pretty smooth and has some actual airtime thrown in with some good Gs on the turns. Real fun older wooden coaster that fits KKs lineup well.

Airtimes First Drop Fun

One of if not my favorite B&M Hyper. You get great views of the whole park and the drop is insane and feels like your floating the whole time. The airtime's are also great on this time so that means that every foot of track serves a purpose. Lines can get long so try to do your best and get there before the park opens then go straight to Diamondback and ride it before the lines get long. Sometimes you may even get a second chance to ride it again later in the day. Even though I haven't ridden Orion yet with all the research and countless POV's I have been through. I think myself and many others agree that Diamondback is a little better then Orion. But there both Hyper's so they have similar elements except Diamondback has the water element at the end. Overall Diamondback is an amazing Hyper and is a staple and must do at King's Island.

Airtimes Location Intensity Too short

Very cool classic woodie. The location with the woods and lake is great. The first drop is very good and there are some nice airtime moments. There is tons of lats after the big drop in the middle of the ride. Raven really has an out of control feel to it especially at night. The ride is a little short but still pack a real punch.

Intensity Layout Duration

The strongest laterals I’ve ever experienced. Super long ride back in the woods that’s full of amazing turns and a couple hills that you won’t expect. This ride is so so good and getting night rides on it is the best.

Theming Capacity Pointless

Thanks to the station which has some kind of elevator thingies moving extremely slow, the capacity is absolutely dreadful. These circumstances are rather unfavourable for a kiddie ride, because the target group is not the most patient one in the world (waiting 20 Minutes in the cold with a lot of crying and complaining kiddies was quite annoying). The ride itself feels rather pointless because there is basically nothing happening, except of passing the quite nice theming. I have to say, this low capacity ride could fit in many small parks, but Europa Park is the wrong place for it...
