Coaster reviews

Lap Bar Nice surprise! Ejectors

This is the most underrated coaster I have ridden and its not even close. Going in I expected pretty much nothing out of this coaster because I hadn't heard anyone say a word about it, but this coaster completely blew me away to a level no other coaster has. Every single hill has a crazy ejector kink at the end of it that sends you flying feet in the air due to the absurd amount of room that the restraints allow for. I don't know why this ride is so insane but I'm sure glad it is and I'm proud to say that Judge Roy Scream is an elite roller coaster.

Airtimes Pace Layout Rattle

Fantastic layout, incredibly forceful for a modern traditional wooden coaster. Near unacceptable and ride ruining roughness

First Drop Ejectors Duration Dead spots

New Texas Giant is fairly underrated and definitely not the worst RMC. While there are some dead hills, there are still more than plenty of moments that hit. I also found the ejector to be strong even for RMC standards on several of the moments. New Texas Giant also features one of the better RMC drops and this one turn that provides an amazing moment of sustained lateral ejector. I also love how long the ride is and that it holds its pace quite well despite what some people say. Overall New Texas Giant was a lot better than I was expecting and a solid mid tier RMC.

Lap Bar Intensity Ejectors

Shockwave is extremely underrated, even by its fans. The drop has a powerful jolt of ejector that no one talks about. Then the loops are a hard greyout every time. The turns are kept interesting by weird lateral kinks during them. Then the 2 drops off the turnarounds and the ending triangle hill have some of the most violent ejector I have ever felt. People always rant about how strong magnum's triangle hills are but I honestly found the one on shockwave to be 5 times as strong it was ridiculous. There is also this great sustained ejector moment after the 2nd turnaround drop. All of this wild ejector is made even crazier by the lap bars that allow for plenty of room, meaning you will be launched out of your seat and get amazing standing airtime. I also just love how this ride sort of looks like a carnival coaster that's falling apart, I don't know why but it just makes me laugh and adds to the ride. The only slight problem I have with this ride is that it sort of feels slow but everything else is done perfectly, especially for the time it was built. Overall Shockwave has some of the most extreme forces in both the positive and negative direction which is why it finds a spot inside my top 20.

Disappointing! Tear it down! Pointless

Trash

Airtimes Nice surprise! Intensity Discomfort

This is the most intense coaster I've ridden by far. Titan is the only coaster that has made me lose consciousness on the ride due to how strong and sustained the positives are. On top of that, the fact that this ride has only a lap bar makes the g's even crazier because it pushes your head into your lap and it feels like your skin will melt off your body. People say that this coaster has dead spots, and they wouldn't be wrong as this coaster has many spots on the ride where you feel like you're dead due to being passed out. The midcourse is absolutely needed because I honestly don't think you would survive without it and it isn't even boring or a buzzkill as you are either still blacked out or recovering from a blackout. If anything, the midcourse is too short of a break as everything still feels very fuzzy and distorted after the midcourse is over. Titan is also the most unrerideable coaster ever, but in a good way. I can ride the most painful coasters 20 or so times in a row before tapping out, but when I tried to marathon Titan midday, I was done after just 4 rides and I think I might have actually died if I rode it anymore. It took such a toll on my body that I didn't even ride any coasters for the next 2 hours because I couldn't function at all. On top of the unreal intensity, Titan also has an underrated ejector filled first drop, a CCI style lateral heavy turnaround and an awesome speed hill with super sustained flojector airtime to help spice the ride up. Thoosies be raving about B&M and Intamin hypers when this ride demolishes all of them. I don't know what kind of mental illness people can have to think this ride is forceless, because it is the least forceless coaster I've ever ridden. Overall I found Titan to be criminally underrated and while it might not be objectively the best coaster ever built, its perhaps the most purely insane coaster I've ever ridden and that's why I consider it a world class roller coaster and it finds a spot inside my top 15.

Theming Inversions

This has the best theming of any Arrow coaster I’ve been on by far. I love the Demon laugh at the starting tunnel and how you start the corkscrew by entering the demon’s mouth. Imagine if every park put this kind of effort into telling a story with their coasters. It’s still an old school Arrow custom looper but it’s very smooth and re-rideable compared to most Arrow loopers. The second vertical loop always makes my head spin and so my vision blurs as I enter the tunnel with the red lights right after. It’s an interesting effect, I never thought how the devil could use a coaster to work his evil will ;-)

Nice surprise! Intensity Discomfort

I read everyone’s negative reviews before riding it so I was surprised how intense and weird and interesting this ride actually was. It has a big unique personality and could be a solid fun ride, except the park stopped giving it much needed new lumber. You have to ride it very defensively and it’s just not good like that. Come on CGA, do the right thing with your wood coasters.

Smoothness

It’s a wild mouse so it’s not a great ride by default, but it’s probably the smoothest and least annoying wild mouse I’ve ridden along with the one at Cedar Point. If you gotta ride a wild mouse, why not choose one of the last rides from a dying legend in 2001, Arrow.

Comfort Smoothness

This is a really good B&M floorless looper. It has snappy transitions and I love the vertical loop that you later helix through the center. I feel like this ride has a the right balance of intensity and smoothness without hurting my head too much. It reminds me of a Batman clone in terms of size a little but seems like a custom layout. It’s one of the few B&M loopers that I enjoy re-riding along with Flight Deck.
