This is the absolute highest I could rate the ride. This was overwhelmingly rough, and as a result, dizzying with the neverending inversions. My fiance felt like she wanted to throw up on the whole ride and she normally has a high tolerance. I'm thinking this ride is the product of Six Flags taking poor care of the ride. I say tear it down and put in an Intamin launch coaster.

Iron Rattler was slightly underwhelming since I had heard it had one of the best first drops of any coaster anywhere, only to discover the first drop was above average but not outstanding. Nonetheless, it is a very fun RMC with a clever layout. I like that it moves slower atop the quarry wall; it's a good mix from the raw speed at the beginning and end of the ride. A front row ride at night is a must.

Fairly underrated ride. I never got the hate at all, especially since this is such a unique ride, only having a single toboggan. I didn't find it rough, maybe it had a slight rattle, but it was fine. You get tons of space in this lap bar, not like you get airtime or anything but still a big pro. The mid courses kill the pace, though, and it is pretty short.

This is my third least favorite *ride* at the park for a reason. This is SO painful. This park seems to have a handful of really rough coasters, but this is the only one that I didn't like.

First off, this ride is absolutely insane. All three times I rode, I was in a position where I was at the top of the 250 foot spike. Especially being launched backward, the feeling of weightlessness facing vertical with track that far down below you, just staring at the skyline, is crazy. Because of the booster halfway up the spike, you just feel like you are up there for much longer than you actually are. The inverted top hat and cutback(?) are intense. Another pro of this ride is how you can choose if you launch forwards or backwards, each providing a way different experience (backwards is better). For the cons, this ride is unfortunately rough. The whole ride is shaky, but there are a couple painfully noticeable potholes. The restraints are weird, not necessarily horrible, but if it's your first time you'll be very confused. Overall a great ride, almost the best at the park.

This is only my 3rd rmc and this shows me that even one of the lower level rmc's are just incredible. I'll highlight some elements; the first drop, even in the middle row (I got one middle row and two in the back) is crazy with ejector. The second overbank provides some surprising sideways airtime, and the two other overbanks it's sandwiched between have some good forces as well. After the midcourse seems to only increase your speed, you get flung out of your seat with the drop. The next couple airtime hills have great pace, but one with especial airtime is the banked one after the double up. The tunnels are fun, and the hills within them give meager but solid airtime. The finale steps it up, giving three more great ejector pops. The restraints, though weird, are comfortable and fit my lap well. Also, this ride is really smooth and the trains look great. Especially for RMC's first roller coaster, an amazing job done. Solid 4.5/5, but I'll give it a 5 to boost its rank a bit. (Side note - there aren't really any dead spots as far as I'm concerned.)

A really fun, smooth and enjoyable coaster. I don't understand the hate it gets, it definitely lacks high intensity - although two girls in my group felt quite dizzy riding it twice in a row - but the layout is really fun and the cameltop after the second launch is amazing. It's quite a long layout.
Update: I might get why people say it's not too intense: after riding many of the so called intense coasters in Europe I have a feeling people mix up intensity with discomfort, rattle and headbanging. As this coaster is smooth as butter, it's considered a tame experience, but riding it many times on my multiple visits to Energylandia, I find the inversions quite intense and it can make you feel dizzy after a few rides.
