Coaster reviews

only good because it has a launch. long lines all the time

I personally love both the Hollywood and Orlando Mummy rides. This one does feel longer and has a better backwards section. The practical effects are great and totally worth seeing. Good ride.

Theming Location Duration

I've rode this while it was California Screamin' and Incredicoaster and loved it everytime. This was my first inverting rollercoaster so it hold a place in my heart. Its launch isn't that great but it gets you up to speed for the massive hills. The ride is so long so it is worth waiting in a long line. It has gotten rough over a few years but its maintained well. Absolutely must ride if you are at DCA.

Theming Location Pace

Big Thunder Mountain is my personal favorite ride at the main DisneyLand park. The theming is great and there are multiple lift hill with good drops at the end of each. I've been riding this for years now and I have fun riding it every time I come.

ez credit.

Location Rattle

The only reason why this ride is kind-of good is because it is in the dark and at a Disney Park. It's pretty rough but I just let that go and enjoy the ride. It is a classic.

Duration Discomfort

Matterhorn is a classic ride at Disney. It is a very old ride manufactured by arrow so it hasn't aged very well. It is very uncomfortable but you should get on it if you are at Disney.

Duration Discomfort

Right side is better in my opinion

Inversions Launch Hangtime Harness

This is the best Premier SkyRocket2 model out there. It runs the smoothest out of all of them and is extremely re-rideable. As a ride itself, it is very short but the point of this ride is a small and compact but high scale rollercoaster for parks to buy. The swing launch picks up speed quick and the heartline roll at the top gives some killer hangtime. If this ride didn't have comfort collars and had full throttle style lap bars, it would be ranked so much higher. You then go through a quick ending with another inversion and a few turns right back into the station. Very fun ride and recommend it when you come to SeaWorld.

First Drop Fun Hangtime Too short

Emperor is (in my opinion) the inferior dive of SoCal. I did enjoy Hangtime at Knott's more but that doesn't mean this ride isn't good. It has great moments of hangtime in the inversions and pulls pretty good forces. My only problem is how short it is. I really wish it was a longer ride because by the time you get off, you need to get on a second time or else you won't be satisfied. It is a pretty fun ride and is my personal favorite in the park.

Location Duration

It's a very fun launch coaster. Not too intense but it gets the job done. You get an enhanced sense of speed with low to the ground turns and quick pops of airtime. The launch itself does crawl up to speed but it's ok. It's an overall good ride.

Launch Duration Theming

Seaworld's newest coaster. It's pretty fun but I really just did it for the credit. It is directed towards families and not hardcore enthusiasts so it's not really my type of ride. I do recommend it as a kid's first launch coaster.

Theming Duration

A really fun water coaster. It ran smoothly and had some cool elements like the elevator lift. Good ride overall.

Intensity Duration Rattle Headbanging Harness

This ride isn't as bad as people say it is. It isn't good but is not unbearable. There is a rattle and the comfort collars kill you. I like how intense some of the elements are and the long duration of the ride. My favorite coaster in Vegas.

just a regular kiddie. ez credit.

ok wild mouse and kinda hurt

ez credit but fun for families

hurt my balls and required a little kid. I had to steal one.

Theming Nice surprise! Launch Rattle

Well themed ride. I really enjoyed the practical effects in the beginning of the ride. It has a fairly punchy launch and most of the ride is just simple low to the ground turns in the dark. There is a turntable in the middle of the ride that sends you backwards for a little bit and that's pretty cool. At the end, there's a little fake offloading station and goes into one last small drop before the ride ends. There is a small rattle but otherwise it's a solid ride.

Theming Nice surprise! Smoothness

This dark ride/coaster hybrid is one of the best experiences at Universal. Everything from the queue to the ride itself is filled with little easter eggs and themes from the Harry Potter franchise. I haven't watched or read too many of the books and movies but it was still awesome seeing everything there was. The dark ride sections alone make this a great ride but some of the coaster elements are great too. The tilt track TOTALLY caught me off guard and really kicked off the ride with a bang. The rest of the ride has a great and easy to follow story. Overall amazing ride and you should totally do it if at Universal.

did it for the credit. only an okay ride that's cloned everywhere.

Inversions Location Hangtime Rattle

Hangime is a very enjoyable ride. In my opinion, it is the better dive coaster of SoCal. The inversions give decent hangtime and the Beyond-Vertical first drop is great. The capacity kinda sucks and there is a small rattle on one of the trains. Overall fun ride though!

Inversions Launch Intensity Rattle Dead spots

The Hulk is a pretty good ride. The first inclined launch is one of the punchest i've been on and all the inversions are some of the most intense out there. In the second half, you lose a lot of speed and go through more graceful and shorter inversions and turns until the final brake run. The first half is one of the best and most out of control of any ride but slows up so much by the mid course. Decently good ride. Totally recommend it.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

This is an absolutely amazing attraction. The lines can get long, but it's usually worth it for this great ride. 7 launches is absolutely insane! One of the best family coasters out there by far! (SPOILERS AHEAD!) I went into this seeing no spoilers (which was hard) but I was not expecting the spike and backwards section! You wind through the forest backwards and then go into a cave WITH A DROP TRACK! This ride is top tier and a must ride at Islands of Adventure!

Theming Fun Smoothness

Best coaster at the Disney World Resort. The theming and ride system is just great. This ride is like space mountain on steroids. Must ride at EPCOT!

Pace Masterpiece Smoothness

Holy Crap. If you ask me what the perfect ride is, I WILL say VelociCoaster. Everything about this from the pacing, length, and speed is just absolutely remarkable. The first half begins with a fairly punchy launch that puts you into an immelmann that goes straight through a great headchopper moment in the raptor paddock. If you sit in the back, you get some airtime getting whipped over it. Then you get sent into a very snappy dive loop that give decent force once you get out of it. You then go through some low to the ground, quick turns and small pops of airtime until you reach the second launch. The second half is what makes this ride the best in the world. The rolling launch absolutely rips. You get sent up to the 70 mph max speed and rocket all the way up to the 150 ft top hat. In the back row, you get some unholy ejector coming down into one of the best hangtime moments ever, with the zero-g stall. It feels like you hang there forever as you are secured in with only a lap bar. You then go through a series of overbanked turns with a ton of speed. But now, you reach the greatest inversion of any coaster ever, the mosasaurus roll. I have no words for how truly crazy this element is. You'd have to ride it yourself to find out the true insanity this single inversion has. You somehow get ejector airtime UPSIDE DOWN! And then, after this you finally reach the final brake run. Man, this ride is amazing. It's miles better than any RMC i've ridden and is the best paced, most exciting ride on this planet. Get out to Islands of Adventure and ride this beast. You won't regret it.

First Drop Capacity Rattle

This ride receives too much hate and I won't stand for that. The vertical lift is great because it adds on to the suspensefulness as your music builds and you reach your way to the top. The first drop is pretty fun and I got some decent floater in the back row. This ride does have a lot of mid course brake runs so that's one thing you can hate about this ride. The pacing is okay but it's very enjoyable overall. (Just make sure you choose a good song)

Location Rattle Discomfort Dead spots

Just an old Arrow Mine Train. It's a fun little ride but I really just did it or the credit. It's one and done for me. Pretty rough because it opened with the park in the 70's and hasn't gotten much work done. Good ride to ride if you have little kids to satisfy though.
