Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness

This ride was a nice surprise. It's smooth, it's fun, maybe a bit short, but very nice ride. Some positive g forces. Very fun overall.

Dead spots

The comically long trains on Zierer family coasters make this ride crawl through the layout, so it isn't much fun. The ride is also shaky, which is again not uncommon for these Zierer models. However, the park needs this because they are severely lacking in family coasters. The next largest coaster is Boomerang or Batman, so there is a pretty serious gap in their lineup here.

Airtimes Fun Discomfort

Out of the few Free-Spins I have ridden, this was definitely middle of the road. This ride is a good fit for the park, given their current lineup. The best parts about these Free-Spins are the airtime and the forces you get from the the transitions. The main downsides for this ride are its lack of originality, length, and the minor discomfort found on all free spins. Overall this is a good ride, but only a supporting coaster in the lineup.

Airtimes Lap Bar Intensity

This ride is FANTASTIC! I feel like a lot of people either way overhyped or way underhyped this ride. This ride truly exceeded every expectation I had for it -- Except one. I expected the Helix to be more intense, but it was probably the most boring part of the ride on a ride FULL of fantastic elements! It's currently my 3rd favorite giga coaster, ahead of Leviathan and I305, but not nearly as good as Millennium Force or Fury 325

Lap Bar Layout Rattle Discomfort

Great elements, I'd rate it 4 or more stars in 2016 - 2017 but now the rattle is becoming more and more apparent, with some pretty strong judder in one particular element of the ride I hope they can improve the smoothness, at it is detoriating at a rapid pace

Location Layout Launch

This family launch coaster has a great setting, but is not that exciting. After the short pre-show, you are shot out by the first of two launches, neither which are very forceful. The majority of the layout is above the lake, and has a very twisty layout. The open-air seating complements this and it is a fun sensation coasting above water and land. The main downside to this ride is the lack of forces, which makes it a tame ride. However, as far as family coasters go, this is a solid model to have at this park.

Airtimes Pace Fun

GCIs haven't done much for me in the past, but Texas Stingray is a clear exception. The standout feature on this ride was the pacing, which was absolutely phenomenal. I got 2 back-row rides, and there was flowjector on almost every hill. There aren't any dead spots and it flies through its layout! I am ranking this well above Apocalypse and Gold Striker, the other two GCIs I've ridden at this point. This is a solid #1 at the park.

Dead spots

This is one of the most boring kiddie models out there, and in turn it did nothing. There are no forces of any kind, so just do it for the credit.

Airtimes Lap Bar Nice surprise! Discomfort

As my first Morgan "hyper" coaster, I was very impressed with this ride. This thing is full of floater airtime in both the front and the back. In the front you get airtime over the crest of every hill, and in the back it is even more sustained, as you get airtime down each drop as well. In the back, you actually get slammed into your seat at the bottom of every hill because you are floating all the way down, so I would recommend the front of you want a more comfortable ride experience. The ride ops did not staple so there was plenty of room in the lap bars which added to the fun. Other than the butt slamming, this ride is smooth for its age and very fun. It is a great fit at this park and a reason alone to come.

First Drop Too short Dead spots

I was not expecting too much from this ride, but it was still a bit disappointing. The turntables allow you to get a good view of the surrounding area, but beyond that they are just a gimmick. The little dip between the turntables was quite boring even though you go backwards, as it is slow and without force. The final drop was the only thrilling part and you get somewhat wet, but I suggest going to the viewing area to get fully soaked. I wish this park had a better water coaster, but this will do.
