Theming Fun Smoothness

All the Disney Mine trains are great. Seven Dwarves Mine Train is the newest of them all. The new Vekoma makes the ride the smoothest coaster I have ever ridden. It is a fun ride with fantastic on ride and in queue theming. It’s not that intense since it is a family coaster but some of the transitions throughout the layout can be real fun and whipped with the swingin trains. I love the landscaping around the whole area and the ride is one of the best mine trains I’ve done.

First Drop Intensity Layout Rattle

A great GCI. Currently my second favorite. Some very intense lateral G-Forces and a great layout. The banked first drop is a lot of fun and the station fly through is great. The ride is a little rough but the layout and g forces completely make up for it.

Location Intensity Smoothness Too short

My favorite Arrow. Very intense with fantastic Inversions and a great drop. The location is great with the mountains around. It’s a shame it’s just a little short.

Theming Launch Fun

My two favorite steel family coasters are this and Cobras Curse. They both execute what a family coaster is supposed to do perfectly. A well themed, not too intense ride with some fun moments that everyone can enjoy. On this ones it’s the two launches and a few moments with some decent airtime. A great family coaster.

Inversions Location Headbanging Discomfort

Corkscrew is, in my opinion, the second roughest ride in the park behind Rougarou in terms of head banging. The restraints are okay, and the vertical loop has some nice force, but it gets a little too bumpy and jerky approaching the corkscrews. It’s bearable, but I wouldn’t go on again.

Harness Inversions Airtimes

OOF. I really wanted to like it, but it just wasn't as good as Hydrus, a similar ride located at Casino Pier. The restraints are atrocious, as the ride operators literally stand on the gates and jump on them. They fall on your thighs, instead of your waist, so any sort of airtime or hang time is painful. Additionally, there is a pointless over the shoulder seat belt, which does absolutely nothing. The drop is painful, the track is rough, and the inversions provide unpleasant hang time. To end the ride with a bang, there are two aggressive ejector hills, followed by a corkscrew, followed by another ejector hill. Thunderbolt is the second worst ride in the park after Soarin' Eagle, though not by much.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Comfort

The Coney Island Cyclone is surprisingly one of my favorite wood coasters! To start, the seats are extremely comfortable, feeling like a couch, and the lap bars leave a lot of room for some quality airtime. The first drop is the best element in the ride, especially near the back of the train. Despite being 92 years old, it is amazingly smooth, and I only started to get a bit of a headache after 9 rides. Marathoning is not and issue here. There are extreme lateral g's on the shallowly banked turns, and there is some great floater/ejector airtime on some of the hills. While not as intense as other woodies like El Toro, it provides an excellent ride, especially for its age. DO NOT sit on a wheel seat, as it will be a rougher experience, excluding the front row. The best rides can be found near the back.

Harness Discomfort Tear it down!

Soarin' Eagle cracks my top 10 worst coasters with ease. To start, the restraints are absolutely bizarre, because you have walk up a sort of ladder to get in while the car is moving. You then lean against the seat while standing up, and the ride operators slam a cage door behind you. The real fun begins as the train jolts to a start on the spiral lift and goes off the first drop. Everything is a blur from my experience on Soarin' Eagle, even though I just rode it today, but I remember each and every turn feeling like a plane crash. To survive, try to get a center seat, and push yourself in using the handlebars, as the restraints do not feel very safe. Good luck!

Location Smoothness Dead spots Layout

what a weird wild mouse this is,and by far,one of the weirdest coasters ive ever seen.the ride was build by the american manufacter,hopkins.and not only thats is their only coaster which never been build in the us,but also their last coaster ever built before their crashdown.so yea,this was their own attempt to recreate and renovate in their own eyes a wild mouse,but as im assuming,they didnt wanted to go with the old and boring layout,and that become more like a family thriller which can be great for kids.but is this ride,which built in 1996 and is the last coaster at the park,really is the best.no!it can be good for kids but for us,adults and thrillseekers,not really.the pacing here is slow,really slow.i belive beacuse it was ment to kids they give it its slow pacing and shitty layout.seriously,not only that its slow pacing and with low speed,the layout is so bizzare.it so wavey and with some random ass turns which sadly,the dips doesnt even give air.and it is slow,so beacuse of that the turns arent thrilling.but the thing that didnt made me give it a solow rating,might be the cool views,you get some good views during the course of the mountain and while not the best,its cool to look at.and another thing is that unlike most hopkins,it is smooth,i didnt felt headbanging and honestly i liked how good it was.but like i said before,its a kiddy coqaster,so i wont see anyone rushing to get it,i did and it was decent,with a smooth ride and some cool views,it was a pretty decent kiddy.

this ride,honestly,is the weekest accelerator ny intamin ive rode.it isnt bad or anything,its just wasnt as good as other accelerators from them.this ride transleted in english to breathless and was opened in 2009,it is one of two opening dy coasters in the park(the other is spaccatempo).well,the ride's layout kinda reminds me of a shorter version of rita,and a half sized version too.but the ride does couple of things right,the rides launch is forceful like usual,honestly this is the must forceful moment on the ride.the rde also kept a good pace throught the ride,the speed was good but some moments felt like you are losing your speed.hell,the ride have some good airtime moments,altough not many.my favorite airtime moment is by far the first hill of the ride,it is that great and gives a good ejector air.but as i said,it is the weekest in my book.since must of the ride is just so forceless,some points in the ride just felt like a thrill coaster more than extreme coaster levels of the thrill.and it wasnt that intense,but a good side is that it can be intended for kids i the park to ride their first launch,and it could be a good opportunity to give them a good exprience.altough i liked to think of that in that fact,a thing that i still didnt liked were the restrains,this are the kinda ka restrains,which i hate so much. they are uncomfortable and give some bangers for some reason,altough not much bangers,it was fairly smooth,i just wished they will give this non inverted ride some lap bars,but either way,it isnt bad,and might be good for kids.
