Coaster reviews

Inversions Comfort Fun

I'll always have an inordinate amount of affection for this because it was my first inverting coaster, I think this is where my love of Crunchy Old Vekomas came from

Theming Fun Harness

I'm so sad I only got one ride in on this :(

Airtimes Inversions Fun

For an RMC, definitely on the weaker side. It definitely lacks that killer layout that many have, but it is still a very fun ride. It has some nice inversions and still has some good airtime. The only problem I had were the 1 train ops. At the end of the day, any RMC is good.

Location Intensity Smoothness

This coaster is a pretty smooth flying coaster. The view that you get while riding tatsu is unreal. The terrain and view on this ride allow you to feel an authentic flying experience. The ride is fun and has some intense elements, but is kind of short. The pretzel loop is insanely intense and you better brace yourself for it. Overall great coaster and just fun overall.

Intensity Smoothness Ejectors Too short Capacity Lap Bar

(Revised review) I’ve ridden this coaster in the past and I was fairly underwhelmed. But today just rode this coaster 4 times. Rode it in the back row. To say the least, it was a much better experience. Railblazer is a fast, intense layout with some inversions and ejector airtime. The ejectors definitely seemed to pop more and was much more intense. The ejectors were insane this time and definitely had you complete out of your seat.The theming is meh and my major flaw with the ride is how short it is. The ride is too short, but super fun none the less. The restraints also hurt the ride, by really limiting your airtime.

First Drop Fun Hangtime Too short Theming

Honestly, I had some expectations for this ride, but thought it was just gonna be an above average roller coaster. Hangtime exceeded my expectations. The first drop was spectacular and the inversions were solid, there is also an intense airtime hill in the middle of the ride. Unfortunately the coaster is too short and doesn’t have much theming. But definitely a great ride for sure.

First Drop Intensity Too short

This was my first dive coaster and I kinda got what i expected. I rode in the back on my first ride and thought it was just ok, than i rode it in the front and it was much better. The front really makes a difference. I thought that the first drop was pretty sweet and the inversions were pretty intense. I only thought it was too short and lacked theme for a park called SeaWorld.

Theming Launch Too short Layout

The launches were nice, but the forces are just alright. Outside of a couple inversions, it’s your standard skyrocket model. Plus the last drop being heavily trimmed blows.

Airtimes Pace Fun Dead spots

Six Flags Magic Mountain is famous for its impressive lineup of 20 current roller coasters. Though, in those 20, only one wooden roller coaster stands: Apocalypse the Ride. Apocalypse is one of the older GCIs created and is one of their smaller thrill rides. Yet to say it doesn't pack a punch in its smaller stats is an understatement. From the moment the ride drops off the lift hill you are treated with many doses of intense laterals, disorienting turns and even some surprising pops of floater and ejector airtime. The ride seems to quickly take a turn or go over a hill every few seconds, with no time to breathe. That is, until the ride's finale. Apocalypse lets off a lot of speed to take two massive turns that don't do very much, resulting in somewhat of a disappointing end. The ride also has the GCI millennium flyer lap bars, which staple you as soon as the ride gains some positive G-forces. On a brighter note, the theming for this ride is very well done. The queue is very engaging with not just the ride itself but loads of theming sets that enhance the ride well. Overall, Apocalypse is a great wooden coaster that delivers a chaotic ride for the first 2/3 of the layout.

The anti roll back of one of the train flew off as we were riding today.
