Coaster reviews

Airtimes Rattle Capacity Discomfort

All in all it's a nice ride, but for someone like me who gets anxious after not riding roller coasters for a while, the wait times are horrendous, even with two train operation you have to wait in the station for ages. It's loud and it rattles, the ride feels smoother than big loop at least. The lifthill is extremely slow, which usually scares me even more. Some of the inversions are quite painful. My head usually hurts for a few mintues after. The new theming is nice, but it looks quite cheap in daylight. Haven't seen it in the dark, maybe that'll look better. It got stuck on the lifthill when i was there the other day, though a few hours after i had been on it.

First Drop Comfort Too short Discomfort

My favorite coaster, however only on the left side. It's amazing and smooth on the left side, however rough and straining on the right side.

Launch Too short

A ride i usually start with when i visit the park as it kills the anxiety i feel whenever i ride roller coasters again after a while. Lovely launch, nice thrill. A little short.

Pace Ejectors Hangtime

Karacho avait du mal à me convaincre sur les premiers rides, mais au fur et à mesure, j'ai su l'apprécier de plus en plus et ce, pour mon plus grand plaisir !

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

I know this isn't a TRUE coaster, but WOW! This ride is absolutely amazing, DEFINITELY the best on the Universal side. The theming on this ride is spooky and absolutely spectacular, and the ride itself is very fast-paced and fun with tons of surprises, not to mention, an awesome launch! With Jaws, Kongfrontation, and T23D all gone, this HAS to be the most advanced ride on the Universal side. It's a shame too, a lot of these great rides like this, the aforementioned, Nickelodeon Studios, Spider-Man, E.T., Jurassic Park, MIB, Back to the Future, we're never getting there ever again other than Velocicoaster and the Harry Potter stuff. Too bad that stupid Fast & Furious ride still exists! But in all seriousness, this ride is awesome, and it's so good that I actually want to come back to the Universal side now!

Nice surprise! Intensity Layout Headbanging

Didn’t know what to expect and it was a nice surprise! Didn’t realize there would be inversions and as many turns

Comfort Fun Smoothness Too short Intensity

This changed my mind about mouse track coasters. Wild mouse was so smooth and had some fun turns in a location where a boardwalk coaster should be. Due to the spinning car, the flat turns weren’t nearly as rough as normal mouse track coasters and this had more banking turns than flat. I know people like the flat turns but I am not a fan so this was nice. I’m sure in 10 years if I ride It again, I’ll drop it .5-1 star but for now this is a nice inclusion to CP’s roster.

Inversions Intensity Layout Headbanging

The name raptor is very fitting for this coaster. With a fast paced, inversion coaster, it flips and whips you around every corner. One head banging inversion but it’s just a part of the ride. I felt like I was riding a raptor screaming bull as it misdirects you on tight features. Plus the green suits it well

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun

I remember first riding this, I thought it was going to be awful and the worst thing ever. You can thank freaking Blue Streak for that! However, when I got off this, I was blown away with how much fun it was! Same for Lightning Racer. For its age, this ride is butter smooth. This ride also has amazing airtime due to the lap bars, and it is also so much fun! Unlike that stupid Blue Streak, this is a wooden coaster done right. I love Comet and Lightning Racer for restoring my opinion on wooden coasters, and I CAN'T WAIT to ride stuff like Mystic Timbers or ESPECIALLY El Toro!

Nice surprise! Pace Fun Rattle

I don't give a crap about what others say. This and Comet were what saved wooden coasters for me. Before this, I rode Blue Streak at Cedar Point, which is currently the worst coaster I've ever ridden due to its roughness and lack of excitement and airtime. Riding this, I was expecting it to be the same thing. However, I was blown away with how enjoyable it was, same for Comet. This ride isn't extreme on airtime, but it makes up for it with its fast-paced nature and fun factor. Not to mention, this is the winning side. Unfortunately, this ride does have a bit of bumpiness to it, but it's nothing awful. Overall, Lightning Racer was a very nice surprise, and I would definitely recommend it if you're going to Hersheypark.
