    Masterpiece Intensity Hangtime

    Simply perfect, my favorite coaster in the World. I've never experienced anything like this ride, the felling of freely spinning whilst going through intense launches and inversions is unreal!!

    Fun Duration

    This ride is iconic for Hopi Hari! It's a family spinning coaster, but enclosed in the dark which makes it feel a lot more special than if it were just plopped down anywhere. It absolutely fills its role in the park lineup!

    Inversions Launch Hangtime Too short Capacity

    This thing is so fun! Best ride in Brazil as of now. The launch, while not as immediate as more modern technology, has a nice feel and pull to it that really makes you appreciate it. You then traverse a classic vertical loop that absolutely delivers. Go up a spike, and do it all backwards. Such a forceful loop backwards is completely insane, and backwards hangtime on the return run is completely out of this world. It's a fantastic ride for a park that has been struggling to afford something better for a while, but it absolutely gets the job done!

    Inversions Launch Intensity Dead spots

    This thing has the perfect start: A very forceful tire-driven launch, into a super whippy zero-g roll drop, sustaining the positives into a cobra roll and a vertical loop! absolutely nuts! Some of the parts after let their foot off the gas a bit, but I don't think it's anywhere near enough to be a problem. This ride is a classic and for good reason!

    First Drop Pace Ejectors

    This was my first RMC, and — wow! — the ejector is so completely unlike anything I've ever ridden before, the death roll is an absolutely brilliant moment that always baffles how it is even possible for the train to roll that quickly, and the pacing is out of this world. Every hill has either killer ejector or is one of the two fantastic inversions. Instant #1

    Airtimes First Drop Smoothness

    This thing is absolutely fantastic! The only B&M Hyper I've been on is Nitro, and this thing completely dunks on it, and I enjoyed Nitro a lot, too! But Mako is just so much better, it has some real nice flojector airtime, and the ride is just pure bliss in the form of airtime. People like to complain about the part after the MCBR, but I think it was a reasonable finale to the ride. Of course, more airtime is always welcome, but I don't think Mako's ending is bad, by any means!

    First Drop Ejectors Dead spots

    I don't have the clearest memories of my rides on Toro, but I just recall the drop, and first two camelbacks having some absolutely batshit ejector. The section after the second camelback and before the notorious Rolling Thunder hill lets its foot of the gas a bit, but it's still fun! And of course, I did really enjoy the parts after the RT hill too, the low to the ground transitions and quick pops of airtime at the end are a reasonable finale for such a fantastic ride.

    Airtimes Inversions Pace

    This really is a phenomenal coaster! The Mosasaurus roll is as awesome as everyone describes it, and all of the second half is genuinely killer, perfect pacing throughout. You have a fantastic drop of the top hat, a world-class stall, a wave turn, a twist and shout, an overbank that doesn't overstay its welcome the glorious Mosasaurus roll, and a close with an S-hill double up into the brakes. Absolutely fantastic. And the first half, while not the star of the show, absolutely gets you up to speed with fun inversions, quick turns and transitions, and some great head-choppers. I genuinely can't think of a single negative or something I'd change with the ride, it's that good!

    First Drop Fun Intensity Rattle

    That first drop will forever be etched and live rent-free in my mind, it is completely out of this world to go down facing the ground, and last minute perform such a quick rotation. This thing feels unreal in the best way possible. Not to mention the fly-to-lies both of which are incredibly disorienting and remarkably fun! The ride definitely loses steam a bit on the turnaround, but it doesn't detract from the ride for me, and neither does the bounciness of the seats and rotation, it wasn't discomfortable in any way, inner or outer seat, as far as I remember.

    Fun Smoothness

    Best B&M invert in the Midwest! Raptor has a solid layout, some great inversions, good pacing, and is glass smooth. Just make sure to brace for the transition into the break run.
