    Lap Bar Intensity Rattle Discomfort

    Desert Storm is extremely aggressive. Sometimes that’s a good thing. Sometimes that’s a bad thing. It has some incredibly janky moments, but it also is a lot of fun.

    Nice surprise! Pace

    Patriot isn’t trying to be much, but it’s pretty fun. Some really great moments, particularly in the final helix. Also features the same Hopkins jank you can see on Desert Storm

    Inversions Rattle Disappointing!

    Batwing was awful. The ride was excruciatingly uncomfortable. It's in an amazingly awful location. The capacity is terrible. The vertical loop was good and that's about it. Really disappointing after ...

    Location Dead spots Layout

    West Coaster is a mediocre coaster in a stunning location. It has some mild floater air, and it has a fun finish, but it isn’t a particularly large-scale ride. It’s just a pleasant little coaster.

    Location Smoothness Disappointing! Intensity

    Wild Eagle is very large and very tame. There's some strong forces near the bottom of the first vertical loop, but it's largely pretty meandering. However, this ride is super smooth, it's super beauti...

    Discomfort Pointless

    This is by far the worst Wild Mouse I've ever ridden. The restraints are incredibly uncomfortable. The ride fails to produce the laterals strongly associated with Wild mouses. The drops aren't excitin...

    Discomfort Tear it down!

    This ride gave me motion sickness. This is the only roller coaster that has ever done this. It very nearly ruined my entire trip to Carowinds.

    I don't really remember it, but the picture I have of me riding it when I was little looks like I was insanely happy, so clearly they were doing something right,

    Dead spots

    It's a wacky worm. It's slow and tiny. It's not special, but it was there.

    Intensity

    This was a surprisingly violent kiddie coaster. It has some serious whip around that final turn.

  • Nathan F 5 years ago

    Cramped trains and a small layout? Sounds like a kiddy coaster to me. Not really special in any way, but not failing at being a satisfactory kiddy coaster either.

  • Nathan F 5 years ago

    Eh. It's a kiddie coaster. Not a good kiddie coaster. Not a bad kiddie coaster. Kinda on the small end.

    Layout

    This is not a special model of roller coasters, but it is worth noting that the ride overshoots the station and goes backwards for a time. It's not a good ride, but it's a unique ride. It's not worth ...

    Headbanging

    How does a ride so small cause so much headbanging? It feels like it shouldn't even have an opportunity to do that, yet it manages it. Awful large-scale kiddie coaster.

    Discomfort

    This was my home park for several years, and I rode this one time. It was fine. The helices were decent, but it's not an amazing kiddie coaster. Spend your time at other rides.

    Theming

    Neat dark ride part. The rest of the ride is a standard kiddie coaster.

    Layout Headbanging Discomfort

    This ride is bad. It's extraordinarily rough. It feels like it's falling apart. It's a thoroughly unpleasant experience. That said, the layout on SLC's is pretty good, and keeps up some nice intensity...

    Theming

    Barnstormer is basically Gadget's Go Coaster's crappy Floridian cousin. The ride is a bit cramped. The theming is poor by Disney standards, but not atrociously bad either. It's just a solid kiddie coa...

    Theming Discomfort

    Gadget's Go Coaster is a fun little kiddie coaster at Disneyland. It's pretty well themed. The cars are a bit cramped. It's a kiddie coaster, and it's not trying to be more than a kiddie coaster, but ...

    Theming

    Flight of the Hippogriff is not an amazing ride. Compared to Forbidden Journey, the theming is lacking, but the queue is subtly well themed, and the ride itself doesn't do anything wrong. It's a kiddi...

    Discomfort Dead spots

    Ricochet is a bad Wild Mouse. It has extremely sudden and uncomfortable stops. It had a fairly long line compared to the rest of the park. It's not comfortable. Ricochet is even bad compared to other ...

    Theming

    Blazing Fury, from a pure coaster perspective, is awful. It's barely even a coaster. As a dark ride, it's just okay. It's nice that Dollywood has it. It's an absolute classic that should stick around ...

    Discomfort

    This wild mouse is a little on the uncomfortable side, but not extremely so. It's not all that different from any other Wild Mouse coaster. It's not special in any way.

  • Nathan F 5 years ago

    It's a wild mouse. It does wild mouse-y things. It isn't special. It isn't bad. It's just a wild mouse.

  • Nathan F 5 years ago

    Fun

    Ragin' Cajun is fun, but isn't a particularly special Wild Mouse. There's a little theming to go with it, which is better than most of the park, but it's not anything special. This is just another run...

    Nice surprise! Pace Discomfort

    Wild Lightnin' is a sketchy looking Wild Mouse, and it rides like a sketchy looking Wild Mouse. However, it does so in an incredibly fun way. This is the most violent Wild Mouse I've ever ridden. It s...

    The best part of Jaguar is what's around it. You get amazing interactions with a ton of Knott's Berry Farm rides. That's basically the only redeeming quality to this ride. The trains are tiny and unco...

    Fun

    Carolina Goldrusher doesn't really do anything wrong, but it's a mine train, and those are generally pretty small. It never packs much of a punch. It doesn't blow you away. It just provides a fun, sma...

    Goofy's Sky School is a standard Wild Mouse with above-average theming. This theming is pretty bad by Disney standards, but only Primeval Whirl has done it better on a Wild Mouse. Nothing special to s...

    Nice surprise!

    Woodstock Express is actually a decent kids' wooden coaster. It's on the big side for a kiddie coaster, but it delivers some airtime and provides a pleasant ride for everybody, not just kids. As is to...
