Coaster reviews

Airtimes Nice surprise! Location Reliability

Before I rode, I’ve heard that Apollo is one of the worst B&M hypers. I strongly disagree. Riding on a hot day in the back in August may have affected my ride; but every airtime hill (except for one near the end) provided a pop of floater, ejector (notably the pre drop), or a mix of both; at least in the back. The main issue is that especially compared to other B&Ms is that Apollo is much more unreliable. It broke down 3 times on my visit while I was waiting in the station. Overall though a super underrated hyper.

First Drop Nice surprise! Intensity Too short Capacity Harness

Despite the Jerkiness, Short Duration, and Strange Harness, this is by far the best ride I've ever been in. The extreme intensity and forces pulled on this ride is insane, and throughout the entire ride I had no idea what was happening and it felt like I was travelling through space time, which all makes up for the cons of this ride.

Inversions Fun Duration Reliability

It's a good time, but it didn't give me as many big "wow" moments as other RMCs. Still, it's better than most coasters you'll ride. Worthy of its top 100 ranking on here. Very frustrating reliability. It was shut down when the park opened, and four hours later it finally opened but with only one train. I got only one ride because the wait time quickly ballooned to two hours.

If you want both forward-backward head banging as well as side to side, this is the ride for you.

Fun Intensity Theming Capacity

The reason theming is marked as a con was my ride during Hersheypark in the Dark, where the lights were off. It would have been a better ride with them on.

First Drop Location Headbanging Too short Harness

I was expecting a park headliner out of this, but it was quite short, and so rough it killed the whole experience. Nice view from the top of the lift hill, however.

Nice surprise! Dead spots

A shockingly fun ride that made me laugh the whole way down, although the chain lift at the end kind of kills the momentum.

Nice surprise! Location Capacity

This was shockingly the best coaster in the park, due to Defiance's rattle and restraints. However, when I went, the operations were horrible for all the rides, and this one was no exception.

Inversions Launch Pace Harness

Great ride, a bit on the short side but that's okay, although the restraints are a bit uncomfortable.

Airtimes Comfort Fun

This ride is amazing, not only the theme is. but the ride itself as well. Obviously the GCI trains are very comfortable and the lap bar is great, it doesn't hurt and along with the ride, which is a bit rough, it's actually quite comfortable. Since I've done Heidi the Ride I now know what smooth GCI's are like, Joris isn't. Even tough its not the smoothest, it runs great, its not bothering me. theres loads of airtime and transitions, like you'd expect from a GCI. Yet another great GCI this is.
