First Drop Inversions Comfort Too short Capacity

I knew people raved about this being the best Arrow looper, but it still surprised me with how enjoyable it was. There wasn't a moment of headbanging and the first drop actually was profiled to give airtime. It's a shame the layout is as short as it is, both because I would love a few more elements and because it comes into the brakes with enough speed to prevent the park from running a second train. 7.5/10 - why is it so awkward and quiet in the maintenance shed

Inversions Location Harness Discomfort

One of the better B&M loopers I've experienced. Though it unfortunately lacks any near-misses, I'm still satisfied with it as my first wing coaster. The mountain location is gorgeous, as is most of Dollywood, and the inversions are very fun. This was my first experience with B&M vests and I despise them. Though they do dig into my shoulders a bit, the real pain comes from the lap brick piercing into my hips. I might just have too skinny of a build for them, but they left a sharp, piercing pain for hours after riding. 7.5/10 - I'm embarrassed to say that "Mild Eagle" almost made me black out. I think there might be something wrong with me but I'm very susceptible to high positives.

Fun Smoothness Duration Airtimes

This was my first new-gen Vekoma, and even though it's a family coaster I'm still quite impressed! It has an incredibly smooth, long layout with some fun twists and turns and a couple solid launches. I'm a sucker for onboard audio, and this ride has a joyous little tune playing throughout. I wish it had a few moments of airtime, but it's not a big deal, it's still a great time overall. 7/10 - shoutout to the woman who approached me when I was walking towards this ride and gave me an extra TimeSaver

Location Pace Intensity

I'd never heard my son screaming in a coaster before riding Eejanaika! Which means a lot! This ride in unreal! Soooo special! The first drop backwards and the seat spinning facing the ground is absolutely crazy! You must know that you have to remove any loose object, including your jewelry and shoes before riding! Be prepared for this crazy ride! On clear days, Fujisan is visible from the whole park, and it really feels almost like a spiritual experience. You can literally hear people saying "kowai" (I'm scared) when their turn is approaching. This ride is insanely good. I rank it second just ride behind my number Toutatis, but to be honest, to me, it's beyond ranking. It's a proper experience of its own.

Airtimes First Drop Duration

This is yet another great coaster at Fuji-Q Highland and my #3 overall coaster. Better than OzIris. Fight me. It is a behemoth and an airtime machine. My first ride in row 8 was good but only worth 4.5 stars at best. The airtime was there but my seatbelt was way too tight to really lift our of my seat. My second ride in row 10 was a different story. The airtime was fantastic. Even in the infamous janky ending, including the brake run. That first drop was incredible too. A masterpiece from none other than Togo. A manufacturer known for delivering lackluster rides in the US. Update August 2023: I can't leave this at 5 stars. I got some rides on OzIris that were better than those that I got on Fujiyama and I left OzIris at 4.5 stars . I'm lowering this to 4.5 stars.

Intensity Layout Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

Great layout, but it HURTS...

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors

This one exceeded expectations. What a phenomenal ride. The first inversion provides some amazing hangtime and the rest of the layout is filled with very strong airtime pops and whip. Pacing is incredible, elements follow each other in rapid fire succession so you don't really have time to catch your breath. Absolutely love when coasters are that relentless! And that swing launch sequence *chef's kiss*. Intamin proving once again they're the king.

Lap Bar Fun Duration Capacity

To everyone who said this should have been done by RMC: no. But to be fair I think the helix was the best part of the original Tonerre de Zeus and they sadly took it out. I wish that they altered more of the layout like steepening the drop or something. Timberline's trains are great, shame about Parc Asterix is that the capacity being average means the queue gets long very easily. Other thing is you need to take backpacks with you which means your belongings will take a beating. Backwards back row is a ton of fun! I dislike Fury at Bobbejaanland backwards but I found this to be far more entertaining considering you get backwards airtime, thumbs up to the Gravity Group!

Rattle Discomfort Tear it down!

Tear it down! Oh wait, they already did. Thank goodness. What a horrible ride. I rode it as a teenager, and it will forever stand out as my worst coaster experience. Some day, I'll get back to Cedar Point to ride its replacement, which appears to be a better coaster :}

Theming Fun Duration

The line moves fast and it's a fun family coaster. Don't really have anything bad to say about it.
