This has a solid layout, with a second half that plays low to the ground and bangs your head around a bit. The standup factor is uncomfortable, but not bad enough to take away from the overall ride experience. Two great inversions make this a complete ride, however small it is. My favorite traditional stand-up, and I warm up on this every time I go to SFOG. Bonus: Ever noticed how the turnaround looks kinda like Fury's treble clef?

I'm tall enough to avoid headbanging on every coaster but B&M stand-ups, and I rode front row yet still came off in considerable pain. Not even Michig...

I'm tall enough to avoid headbanging on every coaster but B&M stand-ups, and I rode front row yet still came off in considerable pain. Not even Michigan's Adventure would deserve this bad of a ride, why have it at a headliner park?

Honestly better than Hurler, and looks like CC agrees with me. At least this ride has a point, and some decent airtime pops. Sucks that the trains are...

Honestly better than Hurler, and looks like CC agrees with me. At least this ride has a point, and some decent airtime pops. Sucks that the trains are so small- waitaminit... RMC Hurler and move its trains over to this!

You couldn't tell it from a morning ride, but this is one of the greatest coasters ever conceived. Alan, thanks for the goodbye present. This rivals SteVe in every aspect, and even beats its first drop. The only reason it isn't number one is because of length and operations. Adding a second half like SteVe's plus a mid course to run three trains would absolutely shove this to number 1, but I can only dream. BGT, please staff this properly and get it to under 2 minute dispatches. Masterpiece. Shout-out to Jenn, she is an awesome and friendly ride op. If any of y'all see Malik, tell him to get his fat a** to work and help instead of eating a twix bar and making an off duty op do his job.

I get that Disney prefers heavy theming & building a full experience, but this leans way too heavily into the theming aspect. They could have pulled back from that for the 2nd launch, and did it Big Bear style so that you actually get some speed, instead of stopping so an audio piece can play then accelerating slower than Copperhead Strike. Mack really needs to step up their game on their launches, just based on their ones I've ridden. I rode this on its public opening day, and they haven't changed anything. It does have a better night ride, and honestly that's the only way to get a shorter queue on this.

Night ride on a mild October night. 2nd from back row. This packs a punch. My number two invert, now that I've gotten on Montu. These both use terrain/trenches to keep pacing and speed up elements later on in the ride. The major limiting factor this has is dead elements, mainly that airtime hill over the station, and occasionally the helix before the brakes. I love it, and will ride it every time I go to Carowinds. (Which is often.)

This is sooooo good. Best ride in the park, for me. I just love The Mummy, and this blends the story so well into a coaster. I'll take this over Gringotts any day, and the surprise is immaculate. Lapped it in single rider to see first time reactions.

It took 2 hours for the ops to add a second train. They were lazy and slow during dispatches, and just slowly crushed the restraint down on my shoulders. I was in pain for most of the ride. The second half was good. :)

Happy birthday Stan! You get an elite B&M launched looper! Love the ride, you get a little headbanging and a lot of intensity. 4 rides in the back car in 30 minutes was great. Ride this then Velocicoaster for the best 1-2 punch you can find.

It's a good family coaster. For some reason, it just feels poorly maintained. I don't know why, Universal cares about this, but that's what it feels like. Also, I got stapled fairly uncomfortably.

Wow. I can't believe Vekoma did this. I could ride this all day even if the rest of the park had 5 minute lines. Disney needs more like this and Guard...

Wow. I can't believe Vekoma did this. I could ride this all day even if the rest of the park had 5 minute lines. Disney needs more like this and Guardians. It feels short, but it's a complete ride. If you can, get in line about 7:15 for the best family coaster in existence.

It's big, it's fast, and the finale hits different. Not a top 10 ride, but the 2nd half is easily some of the best airtime I've experienced. The restraints are awesome, though I wish they would run the third train. It didn't the whole week I was there, so it kept a 45 min line. I got the last ride of the night and the views of the water park are neat.

Oh dear God how is this safe or legal????? Those dingbats have no idea what banking is or why you shouldn't take a tight turn at 50kph with only a sea...

Oh dear God how is this safe or legal????? Those dingbats have no idea what banking is or why you shouldn't take a tight turn at 50kph with only a seatbelt. At least Anakeesta knows something's up, they make you sign away all rights before you ride it.

Excellent dark ride, wimpy coaster should just about sum this up. I don't like the 3d glasses. But it's worth it with that awesome queue and dark ride...

Excellent dark ride, wimpy coaster should just about sum this up. I don't like the 3d glasses. But it's worth it with that awesome queue and dark ride sections.

Hey Dolly, any chance you're hiding a third train somewhere? This runs 2 trains, but can do 3 pretty easily, based on how the block zones are set up. This pulls the longest line in the park, no questions asked. Aside from having a minimum 45 minute wait on a low-crowd day, this has some decent airtime, and a neat little backwards section. 2 stars for creativity & theming, I can't in good consciousness give it more. Sorry, Johnny Cash. You aren't enough to save this ride.

I got the kiddie credit! I couuuld have ridden Magnum again, but where's the fun in that? Nope! Waited 30 minutes for a kiddie credit! Great job with 1 train ops, an open station, and booster wheel lift hill! What's wrong with that? On the plus side, I was much closer to SteVe when the rain cleared out!

Honestly, this has a decent layout. I get that it's janky, but that just makes you love it more, and wouldn't really be a problem except for the restraints. I've ridden Tennessee Tornado & Carolina Cyclone, and those handle their restraints and leg room SO much better. If Top Thrill 2 re-opens and this sticks around, I'd say new trains & marketing for this in 2026. This pulls the image of a classic looper well, and Cedar Point needs to use that.

The Wingover drop might be one of the best starts to any coaster I've been on. This has big, graceful elements and uses its speed so much better than Wild Eagle. The head chopper is a lovely bonus, and puts it over the edge into the elite category. If only Carowinds wasn't so close to Dollywood, and even then I'd still say that Six Flags needs to give them something of this fashion. This is a must-ride at Cedar Point, and a top 25 coaster.

I seriously hope this is better midday. I got a ride ~30 minutes after park opening, and it was disappointing. My other inverts are the Bat clone at Six Flags Over Georgia & Afterburn, and comparatively, this sucked. It had a decent intensity, and a good loop, but the cobra roll and everything after just didn't hit for me. Hopefully I'll get back up there again and get all the way in the back. Cedar Point would do good to give this the Nemesis treatment, and slap whatever wheels Over Georgia uses on it. I'll see if it hits harder in the future.
