This is a little different than your typical RMC, but it was way better than I expected.. This is more inversion focused, and those inversions are all spectacular. The airtime moments are all super powerful too. Easily the best coaster in the park and among the best I’ve ridden.

This ride doesn’t really do anything well. It’s just kinda there. It’s a little too big to be a kiddy coaster but it’s not really thrilling. Regardless, it was still an enjoyable ride. Glad to have ri...

This ride doesn’t really do anything well. It’s just kinda there. It’s a little too big to be a kiddy coaster but it’s not really thrilling. Regardless, it was still an enjoyable ride. Glad to have ridden it.

The only reason this doesn’t get 1 star is because it doesn’t fail badly enough in any category to be special. Grizzly may be the most underwhelming coaster I’ve ever ridden. It’s slow and boring, wit...

The only reason this doesn’t get 1 star is because it doesn’t fail badly enough in any category to be special. Grizzly may be the most underwhelming coaster I’ve ever ridden. It’s slow and boring, with a decent rattle, though there are certainly worse. Grizzly isn’t the unenjoyable wreck it gets made out to be, but it’s bad at everything that makes a good coaster.

This lays on the positive G’s almost nonstop. A lot of inverts are intense, but Flight Deck has a special consistency to its intensity. It is kinda short though and has one notable dead spot before th...

This lays on the positive G’s almost nonstop. A lot of inverts are intense, but Flight Deck has a special consistency to its intensity. It is kinda short though and has one notable dead spot before the second corkscrew.

This ride is substantially rougher in 2023 than it was in 2020 when I first rode it. This ride still has excellent pacing/intensity. This is a good ride. Unfortunately, the re-track has not held up we...

This ride is substantially rougher in 2023 than it was in 2020 when I first rode it. This ride still has excellent pacing/intensity. This is a good ride. Unfortunately, the re-track has not held up well and it can be quite uncomfortable as a result.

Wonder Woman is awesome. It has some killer airtime, and keeps its pace really well. It did run much more sluggish in the morning than in at night, but even the slow ride was still very good, while th...

Wonder Woman is awesome. It has some killer airtime, and keeps its pace really well. It did run much more sluggish in the morning than in at night, but even the slow ride was still very good, while the night ride felt like it was trying its best to toss me out of my seat. Excellent coaster. Also, a decently themed queue by Six Flags standards.

Electric Eel is a fun coaster. It's not amazing by any means. It's pretty short. The comfort collars are annoying. But all in all, you still get a great inversion and some really forceful, whippy mome...

Electric Eel is a fun coaster. It's not amazing by any means. It's pretty short. The comfort collars are annoying. But all in all, you still get a great inversion and some really forceful, whippy moments.

Emperor is really fun. It's not a particularly impressive Dive Coaster in comparison to other dives, but the model as a whole is a fun line and Emperor keeps that going. Fun inversions. A great first ...

Emperor is really fun. It's not a particularly impressive Dive Coaster in comparison to other dives, but the model as a whole is a fun line and Emperor keeps that going. Fun inversions. A great first drop. You can even make out Giant Dipper at Belmont Park from the top of the drop. Probably the best coaster in the park at the moment.

This unassuming Mack multilaunch coaster is one of the stars of the park as it currently stands. Some great laterals. Several strong pops of airtime. A super smooth ride. Some fun theming. I had a bla...

This unassuming Mack multilaunch coaster is one of the stars of the park as it currently stands. Some great laterals. Several strong pops of airtime. A super smooth ride. Some fun theming. I had a blast on Manta.

I expected more from this ride. The shoot the chutes style portion is kinda rough, and the coaster portion isn't forceful at all. The elevator lift tried to substitute audio for theming. All in all, I...

I expected more from this ride. The shoot the chutes style portion is kinda rough, and the coaster portion isn't forceful at all. The elevator lift tried to substitute audio for theming. All in all, I'm not really a fan of Journey to Atlantis.

Steel Dragon isn't a particularly memorable coaster. It's a standard Maurer spinner. It's not a particularly great coaster, nor is it trying to be. It's just a standard spinning coaster, and that's st...

Steel Dragon isn't a particularly memorable coaster. It's a standard Maurer spinner. It's not a particularly great coaster, nor is it trying to be. It's just a standard spinning coaster, and that's still fun enough.

Ravine Flyer II is a phenomenal wooden coaster. Its setting is fantastic, going back into the woods and over a road near Lake Erie. This ride is intense. It's long. It does feel like it loses some ste...

Ravine Flyer II is a phenomenal wooden coaster. Its setting is fantastic, going back into the woods and over a road near Lake Erie. This ride is intense. It's long. It does feel like it loses some steam towards the end, but overall it's still a wonderful coaster that alone is reason to go to Waldameer.

Thunderbolt is very fun. My favorite of the three classic wooden coasters at Kennywood. It has some great laterals, and one moment in particular where the airtime was simply insane. It's on a larger s...

Thunderbolt is very fun. My favorite of the three classic wooden coasters at Kennywood. It has some great laterals, and one moment in particular where the airtime was simply insane. It's on a larger scale than the other two wooden coasters, and it uses that to its advantage.

Steel Curtain is all about inversions. And it does them really well. It's also got a Pittsburgh Steelers football theme that isn't the greatest theming in the park or anything, but executed well enough to be fun. Only running one train though, and that lift hill takes forever.

I rode Sky Rocket first train of the day, so I admittedly likely got a slow ride, but it didn't look like it had really sped up much by the time I left the park. The hangtime on the top hat was great,...

I rode Sky Rocket first train of the day, so I admittedly likely got a slow ride, but it didn't look like it had really sped up much by the time I left the park. The hangtime on the top hat was great, and it had some fun inversions, but the second half of the ride was so random it detracted from the good first half.

Racer doesn't do a whole lot, but for a nearly 100-year old wooden coaster, it's running really smoothly. It seems like it's designed so that one side will always end up winning. It's a fun ride, but ...

Racer doesn't do a whole lot, but for a nearly 100-year old wooden coaster, it's running really smoothly. It seems like it's designed so that one side will always end up winning. It's a fun ride, but not particularly impressive.
