I have a great deal of nostalgia for Cyclone, but it's still just your average Arrow looper. The loops are surprisingly forceful, but the layout is rather boring and the classic Arrow profiling makes headbanging frequent. I still think this is a good first "big" coaster for kids if Carowinds is your home park, though. 5.5/10 - "They need to fix this thing" -Kid sitting next to me

This is such a strange and unique coaster. The lighting effects and dark theming are simplistic but somewhat effective, and the custom layout has a good amount of pace to it. It tends to turn in the same direction a lot, leading to some uncomfortably long lateral moments, but generally speaking it's pretty fun and runs a lot smoother than the Vekoma Junior Coaster a few kilometres away.

Abyss is much more fun and forceful than I was expecting! The ejector airtime over the indoor drop and the beyond-vertical drop are fantastic, and there's also a good airtime moment in the airtime hil...

Abyss is much more fun and forceful than I was expecting! The ejector airtime over the indoor drop and the beyond-vertical drop are fantastic, and there's also a good airtime moment in the airtime hill. The inversions ride well, the theming is quite good, and it's just a fun ride all around. A little bit of head banging, but nothing that will ruin your ride. A great coaster!

Giant Splash was my first Mack PowerSplash, and I was very pleasantly surprised! The launches are intense, and the lap-bars lend themselves to a a good amount of airtime on the vertical spikes. The sp...

Giant Splash was my first Mack PowerSplash, and I was very pleasantly surprised! The launches are intense, and the lap-bars lend themselves to a a good amount of airtime on the vertical spikes. The splashdown is absolutely huge. This ride will definitely be popular in smaller parks that require a good summer day ride with minimal footprint. This particular ride is also very well-presented and themed!

Family Coaster seems to have suffered from very poor maintenance at its tiny little home in the middle of Seoul. Despite being a newer-generation Vekoma SFC, it already suffers from a severe rattle that makes it loud, rough and uncomfortable. Not only that, but the 395-metre clones are just not that interesting and forceful compared to some of the other layouts. It's not a great ride, really.

French Revolution absolutely blew me away! Don't listen to the haters, this ride is not rough. While there are a few bad transitions, it rides very smoothly for a Vekoma MK-1200 of its age. The intens...

French Revolution absolutely blew me away! Don't listen to the haters, this ride is not rough. While there are a few bad transitions, it rides very smoothly for a Vekoma MK-1200 of its age. The intensity and theming more than make up for it. Particularly the drop into the vertical loop is absolutely incredible, and the entire ride looks immaculate. Great coaster!

What on Earth is this ride meant to be? It's a forceless, pointless mutation of a ride, presented as a wild mouse but with Arrow-style looper cars instead. It consists of a few small drops and a stran...

What on Earth is this ride meant to be? It's a forceless, pointless mutation of a ride, presented as a wild mouse but with Arrow-style looper cars instead. It consists of a few small drops and a strange-looking helix. The restraints are awfully uncomfortable, but that isn't really a problem, because the ride has no forces whatsoever. Absolutely puzzling that this ride exists.

Spartan Race is a pretty basic Vekoma Family Boomerang, and there's not much to it. The theming looks nice, but the ride runs a little bit rough and is overall pretty forceless. The lack of a second l...

Spartan Race is a pretty basic Vekoma Family Boomerang, and there's not much to it. The theming looks nice, but the ride runs a little bit rough and is overall pretty forceless. The lack of a second lift hill makes the backwards lap pretty slow and meandering.
