Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Dead spots Layout

Not as rough as expecting and theming isn't too bad. Helix at the end is good fun and packs a bit of punch. Not bad.

Inversions Smoothness Ejectors

Your standard Arrow looper but with lots of interaction with the fake mountain in the center of the dome. The ride is also smooth, wicked smooth for an Arrow; like, I didn't know Arrows could get this smooth. This one is definitely worth a ride or two, preferably in the back so you can get some nice ejector on the first drop.

Airtimes First Drop Masterpiece

My expectations for Fury were very high after riding Leviathan at Canada's Wonderland, and good lord were my expectations exceeded. Just everything about this ride blew me away, and I ended up spending the last couple hours of my time at Carowinds just marathoning it. The first drop, the speed, the layout, and the ludicrous airtime you get in the back have all just been on my mind ever since I got off of it last; I can confidently say that my cross-country trip to ride Fury 325 was 100% worth it, and I can't wait for my next chance to get on it again.

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar

Fun B&M Hyper themed after Dale Earnhardt that has a good drop, great airtime, and somewhat of a lack of purpose. While "Intrimidator's" much maligned trim brakes don't ruin the ride as some say, they do slow the train down a bit too much for my taste on the airtime hills. Additionally, while this ride would certainly be one of, if not the, headline attraction/s at 9/10 parks, it happens to reside at the same park that Fury 325 does. While the two have much different layouts, Fury's is just insane; which leaves you with a bit of a lessened reason to ride this when you could be riding Fury.

Fun Harness Capacity Dead spots

What may seem like your bog standard Vekoma Boomerang on the surface is actually something a bit more rare; this is a Boomerang that the park decided to actually put money into and buy the new trains with the new vest restraints! Do the vests make the Boomerang into the best ride in the world? No, but they certainly make the ride experience a lot better, allowing you to better enjoy the simple shuttle coaster as it goes backwards and forwards through its compact layout.

Inversions Too short

An Arrow looper that's got the standard 2 vertical loops and corkscrew plus a helix. This one's rides about the same as other Arrow loopers out there; it's enjoyable enough for a ride, and there never really seems to be a wait for it.

Intensity Too short Layout

A rare B&M Stand-Up that has yet to be converted to a Floorless. While the layout is decently intense while standing, it's just entirely too short to really offer much to riders. Standing coasters don't bother me (in fact I quite like them), but these early layouts with just a few elements just kinda suck; converting this one to a Floorless wouldn't fix the layout issues at all, and would just make a mediocre standing ride into a mediocre sitting ride.

Discomfort Dead spots

Boring Wild Mouse that's also pretty uncomfortable.

Airtimes Lap Bar Fun Too short

Kiddie woodie that's actually the best woodie in the park because it actually gives airtime. It is about as short as you would expect from a kiddie coaster unfortunately.

Location Discomfort Lap Bar

This would have been a cute little Arrow Mine Train were it not for the awful lap bar that just crushes your lap. One of the worst staplings I've had in my life, and I don't even have a overzealous ride-op to blame, just the ride. It's kinda hard to enjoy the cute layout and scenery that Mine Trains have when you're fighting with a crushing lapbar the entire time.
