Coaster reviews

Pace Layout

It’s fine but for being a part of a parks top 3 coasters it’s not a coaster I really want to re ride. I’m also not a huge B&M invert fan to begin with so that doesn’t help. It comfortable enough and the layout is decent but not super memorable or fun either for me. Definitely better B&M inverts out there. Feels overrated on here.

First Drop Intensity Rattle Disappointing!

Was a lot better when I visited 10 years ago. Noticeable rattle now and seems to have lost a lot of the ejector airtime. I actually got more in the middle of a train vs the back. Not sure if it was train dependent. WOF line up is pretty weak so this is still one of the better coasters but mamba is now my fav vs prowler.

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar Rattle Dead spots

Taking off half a star because I found the rattle on the outer back seats to be surprisingly rough. However, the front or the middle seats on the back provide a smooth ride with stunning elements and an out of this world first drop and camel back hill.

Launch Intensity Rattle Too short

Rough as f.... The launch is so much fun, and the sense of speed built on such a low to the ground layout is great, but my god is it rough. Admittedly I only experienced the outer seats, but I was literally bouncing along the layout. The insanity of the ride experience actually matches the theme quite well - it's bonkers.

Airtimes Masterpiece Intensity

THIS. RIDE. IS. SO. FUN. It seems to just keep going and going. It has a slight rattle, but it isn't uncomfortable and adds extra intensity. I love how it seems to go a lot faster than it actually does. All the turns are taken at a fast pace and give good G-Force, and the airtime on the surprise hills and first drop is extremely good. The T-bar lap bar surprisingly gives you a lot of room to float, so the airtime feels natural and not painful at all. 100% would do again.

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness Too short

The turn before the drop gives some nice laterals, and the drop surprised me with some nice flojector airtime. The double corkscrews are nice and smooth, and I got some good hangtime. The ride operator also sends you around twice if the line isn't too long, so that's an extra plus. Overall, it's a nice introduction to inversions and more intense coasters.

Airtimes Pace Layout

A fast paced, intense coaster with plenty of airtime and tight turns. The transitions are zippy, the drop gives airtime in every row, the airtime gets more intense as the ride goes on, and I love the cheetah hunt turns and the outer and overbanks. A flawless ride whose only flaw is not being as fast or long or tall as typical hyper, if you could call that a flaw.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun Rattle

I literally got insane standing up airtime on the first airtime hill, and the second two are no slouch either. The rest of the ride doesn't give any notable airtime, but the laterals get more intense as each u-turn gets tighter. The surprise hit of the park and it's still in 3rd place.

First Drop Location Duration Rattle

The best part, or the worst part, is the finale. That fast rush through the woods. Crazy laterals and incredible speed with the cold forest air in your face, if you're in the front. In the back, it's a rough as shit beatdown that slams you around. The rest of the ride has amazing drops in the back with awesome airtime, but in the front it's just okay. Wherever you sit you're trading something off. The front row ride is amazing for the finale alone, but the rest of the ride is just okay.

Airtimes Pace Duration

Thunderhead is a monster of a GCI. It's unpredictable, long, and has no breaks in pace or dead space. The terrain is used very well, the views of the rest of the park is great, the Millennium Flyers are incredibly comfy, and the ride is smooth, especially for its age. This is my favorite GCI and it beats out Mystic Timbers for its crazy twister layout.
