Coaster reviews

Theming Rattle

I'm not a big fan of water rides, at least not on dry parks, so I'm not a huge fan of this thing, but the coaster section was fun!

Dead spots

This was very smooth when I visited, but it was just... boring? I'm sure for its time this coaster was a huge milestone, but in more modern times, it did feel a bit pointless. It just went so sluggishly over these turns, and the ride wasn't racing when I went, so that took away the last chance for this ride to have a redeeming quality! Still, it's always sad to see a classic go, even if it didn't age well, rest in peace Colossus.

Capacity Pointless

I actually didn't hate this myself? I don't know how because everyone complains about this thing, and understandably so, but to me this was much more boring than uncomfortable. I think I got one flip if that, and it just like wiggled its way down, but I do not genuinely recall any discomfort. It was just kind of a pointless ride, which is a shame, I'm sure if it spun more it would have been more fun, but as it was, it felt like an overbraked wild mouse on its side.

Theming Fun Duration

Probably the best Mine Train out there? Going backwards and in the dark is always fun, and this coaster does pack a surprising punch on a helix or two!

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

It's hard to wrong on a coaster when going backwards, and it's hard to go wrong on a coaster when in the dark. This ride, while otherwise forgettable, becomes a very fun attraction thanks to the backwards section and being enclosed and in the dark. Very fun little coaster!

Theming Fun

The forward-facing part isn't particularly novel, and the backward-facing part is too short, but the spinning part, that's where it's at. It's genuinely so fun going through those horseshoes spinning. For a family coaster this ride definitely gets its job done, it's a great addition to the park!

Airtimes Launch Duration

This thing is a great family-thrill type ride! There's that one S-hill with some really wild whip for no reason (and the turn after the second launch is also very whippy) and the launches are surprisingly punchy, but other than that, the coaster maintains its pace nicely for a family coaster. You get some very light float, and the ride is just plain fun! Great addition to this park.

Inversions Intensity

This thing is such a sleeper hit at this park! Schwarzkopf loopers have a simple formula, but one that most definitely works! The lone vertical loop is of course the highlight, and it's great, the rest of the layout rounds out the experience. Great ride!

Airtimes Rattle Dead spots

This coaster is alright! Most of it isn't too intense or forceful, but there are some nice floater pops sprinkled throughout, and the turnaround is a good bit intense. The on-board music does a lot to cover up the less interesting spots of the ride! People also like to complain about the mid-courses, but they don't bother me, as you get some nice floater coming in and out of them. Enthusiasts definitely throw too much hate at this coaster, but it's nothing super special either!

Nice surprise! Smoothness Discomfort

I've been wary of getting on a FreeSpin for a while after a truly awful experience with Green Lantern: First Flight back in 2017. However, the different axis of rotation makes this ride SO much more comfortable, and actually pretty fun! I'll definitely ride one of these again, although there is still some mild discomfort for me due to the unpredictability of the flipping.
