Theming Disappointing! Tear it down!

The World War 2 death factory comes to life. Step inside and witness the horror for yourself.

Launch Intensity Too short Harness

これは一番のコースターわ〜 加速がすごくクレージーなの〜 骨が折れるなんて残念だwww

Nice surprise! Pace

I genuinely don't care about any of the lapbar haters. This ride is immensely overhated🦿

Inversions Launch Hangtime Dead spots

this rollercoaster really packs a punch all versions are whippy The launch is fantastic the first version offers Hangtime, and whip and then you get dragged down into your launch, which I already said was great the top hat was good, giving good airtime the second inversion is good, given good hang time you get some decent airtime after the midcourse then you get to the best moment the ride the dive loop super awesome and intense with so much whip the last inversion is great as well

Theming Disappointing! Dead spots Intensity

I rode this ride with high expectations, as everyone seems to have raving review for this coaster, but I just found it underwhelming. The backwards portion is rather lame, and the only redeeming qualities are its top notch theming, and the second half, which is pretty good, but nothing special. I could not really follow the storyline, and there was much less actual coaster than anticipated. I rate this lower than Rip Ride Rockit and Escape from Gringotts.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

Disney got their money's worth out of this ride. They built this coaster to be the best roller coaster in any Disney theme park and they absolutely nailed it. Regarding the best Disney coaster, it was razor close between this and Tron, but Guardians gets the edge for its theming alone. This ride has the best theming I've ever seen. That reverse launch is intense. But that spinning feature is really what makes this ride stand out. Going in, I did not watch a single video on this ride, so I didn't know what to expect, but it was turned out to be the biggest surprise of my trip. Disney and Vekoma both get a standing ovation for Guardians!

Theming Comfort Intensity

Oh. My. God. This ride is incredible. I was one of the lucky few who could snag an AP preview for this ride, and it was worth it. The theming, the music, the seating position, and everything about this ride are well done. Guardians still has the better theming, but it's close between this and Guardians in terms of the best Disney coaster. I know many people had issues fitting on the ride, but I'm 6'3" and could get on without problems. All I can say is wow. It's an absolute must-do when you visit MK.

Inversions Fun Intensity

Very good

Airtimes Capacity Location Reliability

Amazing for what it is. This is a very simple type of ride, being a B&M Hyper. This coaster does what it does very well. It slams you with floater airtime time after time. The only thing I would change is maybe the ending around the entrance but even that I don't dislike.
