Coaster reviews

A fairly good wild mouse (if such a thing can exist). It’s got just the right amount of sharp turns and quick drops for those desiring such things.

It was a fun family coaster ride that spent most of its time inside the dark mountain. There wasn’t much going on in there that I could see but the ride itself was fun and low intensity.

Comfort

I found this super comfortable (love the trains and wish every wood coaster could get trains with this level of comfort that blows the PTC trains away!) and the ride itself was a smooth and fun ride that I would recommend to anyone just to take a break from the intense stuff. The problem with this ride is going to be the slow single-train operations but if you come back here late in the evening then the little monsters are much fewer in number ;-)

Discomfort

Here is another wood coaster with a decent layout that clearly needs a re-track to make it enjoyable. In its present condition, it’s just painful.

Pointless

It’s not really a roller coaster, I guess technically it is but to me the point of a coaster is to travel with some speed and excitement.

This is just an okay ride with a short launch at the beginning and then I just sort of brace myself to get to the end. It doesn’t help that the theming elements are all turned off but the ride itself is not great.

This Arrow suspended coaster felt the most out of control when compared to the ones at Cedar Point, Kings Island, and Magic Mountain. They each have a unique layout and integration with the terrain so they really are such wonderful works of roller coaster art that everyone loves. It’s baffling to me why these coasters haven’t been improved upon and continued to be installed in more parks but maybe Arrow’s patents prevent something similar from their competitors. Anyway, this one really swings you fully from side to side with a frightening amount of energy and speed and it’s really a smooth and exhilarating experience.

I did not like this at all, it was just way too forceful and gave me a headache. Griffon at BGW is the best B&M dive and this is the overly intense version of a dive.

I thought Behemoth was okay, it’s sort of like a standard B&M hyper with lots of airtime. I like the scenery and water.

Airtimes Smoothness

Until riding Leviathan I didn’t think B&M could execute a good giga but it turns out they actually could and I love this one. For whatever reason, I never could get into Fury or Orion much beyond a couple rides but this one I just spent the evening riding over and over and over and it puts a huge smile on my face every time. The rush of speed, the massive amounts of airtime, the super long weightless 300 ft first drop, it all just works. I was riding it thinking that it makes me feel like the first time I rode Millenium Force back in 2003. It’s just pure bliss and I never want it to stop.
