First Drop Dead spots
A night ride is spectacular, and really makes the big one for me. The history it has adds to it, and it has one of the best views of a rollercoaster I have ever been on

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors
Iron rattler is my favorite ride in all of Texas right now. It has a great first drop that can take you by surprise if you don’t expect the turn. It has also good airtimes moments, and the drop of the quarry wall in the back car can eject you out of your seat. I also slightly prefer these trains compared to the more modern RMC trains, they have slightly more room

First Drop Launch Ejectors Harness
Maverick is the 2nd best ride at Cedar Point. The first drop in the back car ejects you out of your seat. It has whippy transitions and some good inversions. The launch inside the tunnel is also great. I am still tying to imagine this ride with that deathly looking heart line roll it could have had.

Airtimes Theming Launch
Velocicoaster could just be my #1. It has incredible theming in the ride and through the queue. The indoor part of the queue tells a story. The launches are also good. In the first half you are inside a raptor paddock and is pretty fun, but the 2nd half is much better. The 2nd half has a launch to the top hat which gives great airtimes. The drop is also great. Velocicoaster also contains one of my favorite finales, the mosasaurus roll above the water, It’s also one of my favorite inversions. Velocicoaster is one of the best coasters out there it’s a complete package.

Airtimes Intensity Ejectors
I might be overrating this coaster due to the fact that it's closing soon, but I absolutely loved it. It has the most insane airtime I've ever experienced mixed with laterals and positive G forces. It's quite smooth, charming and is absolutely insane in the back and especially the front row. It throws you into that tiny lap bar. In the back the notable airtime moments are the first hill, drop off of the helix and the drop after the turnaround. Up front, it's the first hill (again), the iconic hill next to the trees and the absolutely insane hill into the turn, which is the strongest airtime moment. The final hill has some airtime too, especially up front. The drop has a bit of force at the bottom, then the helix has pretty good G forces The following pullout also has a bit of G forces but the pull out of the drop after the turnaround crushes you and then sends you flying (or the opposite if you're in the back). And don't get me started on the final turn into the station. It's the most auto-complete thing on a real life roller coaster in the best way possible. It's relentless in the front and only the back travels slowly over this element. Wild Train also track pretty well and just had one or two abrupt but not jerky transitions. The operator also went onto the track to fasten people's seatbelts, which is quite weird. Also one interesting thing is the the brakes blow smoke from the compressed air when they release. Fantasiana sold wheels from Wild Train for its last days in operation and had exclusive T-shirts as well. I hope that Helios lives up to Wild Train as it was a unique and awesome experience. I left the park with tears in my eyes because this amazing ride will soon be gone and although I think it's highly unlikely, I hope another park can pick Wild Train up.
