    Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

    This just sucked in every way possible. Ouch. Definitely the worst coaster I've ever done. No wonder that even Zamperla isn't proud of this garbage. It actually isn't too bad if you ride it in the middle, but it is absolutely horrible on the outside seats.

    Theming Fun Layout

    This ride has some typical wild Mouse turns with great laterals while also mixing in other elements that switch it up a bit. The ride has 2 big drops though the barn structure that have some good floater airtime. The ride also features plenty of banked turns that flow nicely and have some light positive forces. Asside from the main drops, the ride also has 2 bunny hops that feature some weak but consistent floater airtime. The coaster has a very long ride time for it's insanely small footprint, this is achieved by the genius layout design that kinda reminds me of the Poler Coaster, it starts up high and gets lower as the ride progresses. It really blows my mind how long of a layout Gerstlauer came up with and came uw with a way to make it so compact. This coaster is a masterclass on how to design a fun coaster for the entire family all while being super compact with a diverse layout.

    Harness Intensity Smoothness Too short

    THIS WAS MY 100TH COASTER and oh man was it worth it. The first drop is unexpectedly steep and features some decent floater airtime in the back car. The Helix following is the most intense part, the forces gradually build up and near the end it's really intense. You might grey out in that helix, I sure did. I expected it to be intense, but I did not think it would be that intense. The rise into the Mid-Course brake is not particularly forceful, but that's ok. The mid-course barely hit during my 3 rides. The drop off the MCBR is once again unexpectedly steep and has some good floater in the back. The Helices following that have some good and sustained positive forces, although they are not as strong as in the first helix. Overall this is a seriously underrated coaster and definitely a hidden Gem.

    Theming Fun Duration Intensity

    This is a really, really great Disney ride. I just wouldn't call it a really great roller coaster. It is among the most enjoyable and exciting experiences you'll find on a Disney property, but I find it far less intense than even The Mummy at Universal. I went on it only 3 months ago and I'm having difficulty recalling all the elements - it's not necessarily forgettable, but it lacks the POW! factor that I am personally looking for in a coaster. I think I've always been puzzled why Disney hasn't just let it rip on 1-2 rides over the years...and I think I've subconsciously held this against the parks since my first visit at 13 years-old (which is too old for a first visit.) I recognize the need to appeal to a broader, younger, family-audience, but Universal manages to do this AND include something like the Velocicoaster. Give me one ride with a 100 ft+ drop Disney! But back to the ride itself...it breathes some really necessary life into Epcot. It has some really strong, modern elements...and the theming/music that everyone raves about really is top notch. A great experience, just not a great coaster.

    First Drop Lap Bar Inversions Too short Capacity

    A fun looper with a great drop (that's made even better by the lap bar), Monster is a super solid ride that you just wish was just a little longer.

    Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity Too short

    Easily the best S&S Freespin, this one actually makes use of the two sides of the rides by offering different experiences. The "squire" side is your standard Freespin fare that, like Tumbli at Kings Dominion, suffers from the abridged length of the smaller Freespin model; but the "knight" side is like, ABSURDLY intense in how much you will be spinning. Seriously, I was blown away by how much I was spinning, it's crazy.

    Lap Bar Smoothness Dead spots

    A smooth woodie that has buzzbars, though Tornado doesn't really do that much to make use of them. There is like 1 nice airtime moment of note; but Tornado shines in its role as a family woodie.

    Airtimes Nice surprise! Location

    Fantastic, and super underrated, Prowler is an elite woodie at a less than elite park. The wooded location is expertly used with the layout of the ride; and there is a deluxe assortment of airtime to enjoy, including a wonderful sustained airtime moment mid-way through the ride. It's a shame that this ride doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

    Dead spots

    A rather unremarkable woodie, Timber Wolf didn't really do much for me, nor did it really offend me. It's ok.

    Airtimes Nice surprise! Layout

    It's a little short, but I think this invert is pretty underrated. It's paced pretty well, and the transitions are very well done; I especially loved the airtimes you get, especially that drop right after the zero-G roll.
