Airtimes Smoothness Ejectors Discomfort

"Smooth" and "discomfort" sound counter-intuitive, but it's because the rides pull out at the bottom of each drop will slam you back down after each moment of airtime. It's a pretty wild ride, and must-try in both the front and back as each offer a different variety of airtime.

Discomfort Tear it down! Pointless

Unique, but garbage. Blocks slam you around. Not a very exciting layout. Can't really tell what's going on. I can do boring, and I can do painful, but I can't do boring and painful.

Airtimes Pace Rattle Discomfort

Rough but insane. The name feels apt, it explodes through the course from the first drop on. Prepare for some awful potholes.

Layout Discomfort

Another Arrow coaster that makes me wish I hadn't ridden it. The layout is good in theory, but the loops are too compact, creating uncomfortable stress on the neck and back. Glad when the ride ended. It's hours later, and my neck is still stiff from one go-around on Viper.

Lap Bar Intensity Smoothness

A total classic, and one that kicks butt. Forceful in both positives and negatives.

First Drop Pace Intensity Discomfort

I've never been a fan of flying coasters, but this one is definitely the best I've ridden. The layout is really good. However, I found the harness to be uncomfortable throughout most of the ride.

Inversions Intensity Layout

B&M perfection.

Inversions Location Duration Theming

Superman feels epic. The huge elements, the never-ending length, the dives on and off the cliff, the sculpture of Superman standing boldly on top of the loop. It's a great ride, and really harkens to the days of Six Flags being not afraid to spend big cash in pursuit of thrills.

Airtimes Smoothness Layout

NTG may be tamer than recent RMC creations, but it's excellent on its own. Great airtime and over banks, plenty of length, just a lot of fun. Glass smooth a decade after opening. I would not change a thing about it.

Launch Masterpiece Intensity Reliability

Mr. Freeze is elite. It just throws insane intensity at you and then leaves you wondering what happened. You get one chance to catch your breath on the whole ride - and it's while you are floating up the spike and staring 200 ft straight down, knowing you are about to do it all over again. Six Flags has also done a pretty good job on the theming, nice indoor queue and a very cool station with the sliding table. The anticipation of watching each train ahead of you, hearing the brakes unlocking down the tunnel and the lights dimming as the LIMs kick in and blast the train away. Chefs kiss. Mr. Freeze is awesome.
