Coaster reviews

Inversions Fun Intensity Discomfort

This was my first looping coaster-I rode it before the "refurbishment." It was a little janky & rough, but mostly just intense. Then, Six Flags made the decision to retrack it & take out the (I believe) second loop, and it started to rip through its course. This is NOT a good thing, you hit every lateral like it's Pegasus' brake run and it made what used to be a fun old Schwarzkopf looper and made unbearable. I still ride it, but only once. Six Flags, I can't believe I'm saying this, but trim it. Also, maybe make the brake run a bit more gradual? You get flung forward into the lap bar, and URGH. Last ride in 2023, though, so maybe it's gotten better. I was just remembering my rides after going on the Carolina Cyclone.

Theming Masterpiece Layout Discomfort

Ride row 7, train 2, left side. Top 5 layout, if only they had chosen a better launch subcontractor. Dollywood, now that you've given up on its title, can we get a full steel retracking for 2025?

Theming Nice surprise!

Nostalgia fuels this review. I rode this so much as a toddler, I accredit this to my step into the coaster world.

Intensity Headbanging Capacity Layout

Boring, Carowinds ran one train and we waited 3 hours during a school week. I'm not suggesting this be torn down & sold for scrap, I'm saying send it to Valleyfair. Not all B&M stand-ups are this bad, the Georgia Scorcher has a good layout and I weirdly enjoy the jankiness of the floorless conversion Rougarou, but this was before B&M learned how to make a good ride. Take it out of Six Flags' next headliner park and send it to one where it has a chance of being appreciated. Maybe its plot could fit that Dive we've been looking for?

Airtimes First Drop Capacity

This B&M mini hyper packs a punch. My other B&M hyper credit is Intimidator (Thunderstriker) at Carowinds, and that didn't do much. I'm here to give the devil it's due, with this being my most ridden coaster by far. Dozens of visits to Six Flags Over Georgia, every time I wait for this to warm up then go get in 4-5 rides to drink up all that elite floater. The helix has some amazing crushing G's, with a raw power that I've only seen so far on Millenium Force. This has amazing scenery, leaving & coming back into the park and just soaring over the walkways and sending a rumble through the ground around its footers. One of my personal favorites, it's in my top 10 and I'm hoping its' repaint will help it show its dominance better than a faded orange track.

Airtimes Capacity Ejectors Layout

I had an absolutely elite 9 rides, SteVe has the best total package of any coaster I've ridden of my poor 50 credits. The ride crew was amazingly efficient, and 3 trains... My home park is Six Flags Over Georgia, so that's just epic for me. Mr. Schilke, thank you for this masterpiece.
