Airtimes Theming Hangtime Layout
This one is just so much fun to ride. The opening jojo roll is so cool to start any coaster with and kicks you off with some great hangtime. The launches aren't forceful but just fast enough to provide a thrill. I was really impressed with the pacing of this one as well. It felt like when you did inversions or loops the train would slow down just enough to give you long amounts of hangtime but then sped up fast enough during the hills to give short bursts of airtime. The theming on this ride is also a nice touch with a cute Western intro clip before the first launch. I will say the overall layout probably works for a majority of riders but it ended up being too whippy for me. On my first ride, I felt a little dizziness but with the fast pass, I got an instant second ride. The second ride knocked me out for 30 minutes with the dizziness just not going away. Anyone with a low tolerance for dizziness might be put off by this ride but I just regret not getting more rides if my body could take it that day. 4.5/5 stars

Theming Fun Intensity Discomfort Layout
The dark ride sections are fun and the first coaster portion is a joy. The fake out station is quite charming but the layout after that is rather short and boring. The brakes are quite aggressive, especially before the fake out. 7/10 - congratulate Brendan Fraser on the Oscar before you roll into the station

Fun Intensity Duration Discomfort Lap Bar
It's a classic for a reason. Though it's clearly showing its age it packs a punch and a surprising amount of thrills. There's absolutely something to be said for the darkness of the building enhancing the experience. It's certainly gotten rough and the T-bar is somewhat painful, but it's worth it for this iconic ride. 7/10 - I had to wear my backpack like it was my firstborn

Theming Launch Fun
Does it belong in Epcot? No. Is it a phenomenal ride that every Disney trip needs? Absolutely. The backwards launch is pure fun and the rotating cars are revolutionary. I do wish they took more advantage of the unique ride system by using more physical sets, but the ones they do are the highlight. This is what a roller coaster at Disney should be, and it might have set unrealistically high standards for the parks going forward. 9/10 - I was screaming the lyrics to "September" the entire time so I don't remember the plot

Fun Too short Capacity
It's a decent kiddie, though insultingly short. Do it if it has a less than 10 minute wait. 3.5/10 - if it was 10 seconds longer it would be better than VelociCoaster

Capacity Inversions Intensity Rattle Headbanging
Solid ride, just the cobra roll causes a mild concussion,

First Drop Launch Hangtime Headbanging
The back is a lot smoother than the front.

Masterpiece Intensity Smoothness Intensity
Almost too intense - but in the best way! Taiga got it all: intensity, smoothness, speed, height, drops, airtime, inversions, theming, lap bars...

Airtimes Inversions Launch Rattle
Such a great ride! Definitely top 5 tier. Best ride in all of Universal Orlando and IOA. I could ride this over and over again, laughing and screaming my head off the whole way! A slight rattle, but nothing too noticeable.
