Coaster reviews

Intensity Layout Ejectors

The best Goliath, hits all the right spots and is what a B&M hyper should strive to be.

Capacity Lap Bar Launch Theming

Pantheon is a ride that I do like, but don’t care for insanely much. It’s great for what it is and is a good fit for this park, but I don’t have any personal attachment to it. Compared to the park it’s in it doesn’t quite meet the theming standards.

First Drop Layout Ejectors

Storm Chaser is a toss up with Lightning Run for best in the park, personally i think Lightning Run takes it but this ride is still a very good coaster, on the lower end of mid level RMCs for me.

Pace Intensity Ejectors Lap Bar

Lightning Run is a ride that if you closed your eyes, you would think was an RMC. Very ejector filled layout and is in my opinion the best ride at this park.

Airtimes Fun Layout

Thunderhead is a killer GCI, and the pinnacle of Mike Boodley as a designer. His magnum opus, is this wooden terrain coaster that holds pacing very well into the ride. The best ride at Dollywood, even when Lightning Rod was launched.

Airtimes First Drop Intensity Rattle

Outlaw Run is an underrated RMC, not quite a top contender but still pretty healthy in the middle of the pack. Packs quite a punch with both airtime and intensity with a slight rattle honestly not affecting the ride much.

Airtimes Intensity Layout

Legend is a world class woodie that unfortunately gets overshadowed by its Thanksgiving themed neighbor. If Voyage wasn’t there, this ride would be the rave not only of Holiday World but of the Midwest. Some of the best laterals in the country, with some great airtime complimenting.

Airtimes Layout Duration

Prowler is a token GCI, and one that i think pretty much shares the crown with Mystic Timbers. Lots of variety, more than Mystic, but Mystic has better airtime. Still a world class woodie.

Fun Layout Ejectors Too short

This ride is one that is a solid top ride at this park. While it could be longer, it does great with what it has and doesn’t let up.

Fun Layout Ejectors Dead spots

Inconsistent, and that last 3rd can be slow, but still a solid ride that’s a middle of the pack RMC for me.
