Launch Pointless Dead spots Layout
the launch makes a funny noise, and the supports look like cigarettes. i prefer to laugh at this ride than to go on it

Airtimes Lap Bar Location Rattle Capacity Dead spots
the water interaction and original restraints make this significantly better than the clone in maryland. seems to run faster too.

Airtimes Location Layout Rattle
great layout and amazing use of terrain. i just recently came back here to get some evening rides on ravine flyer, and i was blown away by the view at sunset. most gorgeous breathtaking location for a coaster ever.

Airtimes Lap Bar Rattle Discomfort
sketchy old thing. has one or two solid moments of air, but you immediately get rattled to death. it's not awful but really not worth more than one ride.

Fun
don't let the people claiming this thing has crazy airtime fool you. it throws you a bit, which is admittedly neat with no restraint, but it's nowhere near the level of something like phoenix. you don't ride leap the dips for airtime, you ride it because it's a living fossil. keep your expectations for the actual ride experience low and you'll come out pleasantly surprised like i did.

Airtimes Inversions Fun Rattle Capacity Harness
What a weird little thing! Lots of funky forces with negatives, positives, and laterals all present. I love what this ride does in such a small plot. S&S vests aren't great, and it still has some tracking issues. I want to see more of these things pop up.

Theming Fun Smoothness
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is, in my opinion, easily the best ride at Epcot, and the #3 roller coaster in the state of Florida. The sheer amount of fun this ride is cannot be overstated. Normally, I lean toward higher intensity rides with my preferences, but the way the track, cars, sound, and theming interact make this ride truly magical. I was smiling and laughing the entire time I was riding this. It's incredibly smooth, the spinning is seamless, and the theming is top-notch. I only had minor nitpicks with the story, and there are zero flaws with the ride system. Cosmic Rewind is very nearly a perfect themed attraction.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun Theming Harness Discomfort
I went into this ride very skeptical. I thought I would hate it like I do every other stand-up I've ridden. Getting into the train, the harness dug into my collarbones and I feared this ride would not be an enjoyable experience. Boy was I wrong! The launch had an excellent kick and seemed to throw me into the air a bit, which I was not expecting. The hill gave nice floater, and the overbank took me off the ground! The rest of the layout has lots of moments of the unique standing airtime, which you really can't find on any other ride. I found the bit of theming they attempted to add to be to the ride's detriment, as it is in parts actively painful to look at. Overall a very nice surprise and will be something I make sure to do every time I come here.

Lap Bar Smoothness Ejectors Launch Layout
This ride really shines with the new restraints. The airtime feels better, the trains are easier to get in and out of, and the height requirement can finally be 48" again. Definitely a contender for most improved coaster of 2023. The ride is so much more enjoyable now that the airtime doesn't hurt. The launch is still pitiful, though.

Airtimes Smoothness Layout Rattle Discomfort Dead spots
This ride used to be a great example of a modern gravity group layout, showcasing their consistently great pacing and airtime. It had a bad rattle before, but it was consistent and predictable. Now, this ride is all over the place. The RMC sections are freakishly smooth, but the transitions in and out of the new steel are back-breakingly rough. Just these huge jolts out of nowhere. It bleeds speed because of this, which you can really feel in the second half. It's a shame, because it used to rip all the way through the layout. The last RMC section is weird. It pulls odd laterals and just sort of weirded me out. It wasn't like that before. Mine Blower is a ride that I've always loved despite its flaws, and that hasn't changed. I like it a little less now due to the changed pacing though. I think this is the only coaster I'll ever put both "Smoothness" and "Rattle" on.

Fun Smoothness Capacity Dead spots Reliability
Worth riding at least once for the novelty. You can tell Knoebels really cares for this ride, which shows in the fact that they actually can get it operating once in a while. Not particularly intense, but it's the best bobsled out of the four I’ve done. Capacity is awful at 3-6 people per car, but the operators do their best with sub-minute dispatches which give the ride an hourly capacity in the low hundreds.

honestly not awful. the first drop has a nice kick in the back. it's smooth, and has a fresh paint job. very shiny.

my favorite mack bobsled, but the bar is low. pulls decent forces and lasts a while.

Airtimes Comfort Layout
perfect ride. there are almost no moments that don't hit. seriously everything about this is amazing. my only complaint is i wish i got to ride it more!!!
-
Airtimes Fun Duration
wow! i had heard some not great things about how it was running this year, so i went in with low expectations. after riding in the backwards seat, i was thoroughly impressed! so many fun pops of air, and the layout just keeps going. excellent trains too.
-
it's fine. inoffensive. they cycled an empty train with the restraints up, which was funny. also, for some reason my train specifically only got one lap instead of 2. weird.

Fun Duration Rattle Dead spots
good family coaster! didn't do as much for me as firechaser express did, and it had a noticeable rattle throughout. good long ride, and the launch out of the station is nice.
-
Airtimes First Drop Inversions Intensity
very good b&m invert, but very different from any of the other ones i've done. there is zero whip in any seat, but it has a few solid pops of air, which i haven'r experienced on any other b&m invert. i like alpengeist and afterburn more, but top 3 invert is high praise nonetheless.

this isn't a coaster.

Airtimes Pace
good solid gci. drop is good in the back, everything else is good in the front. everything up until the end is taken quickly, but it does lose steam quicker than other gcis.

Airtimes Dead spots
really didn't do a whole lot until the second half. after the midcourse, though is some of the strongest air on a b&m.

Fun Rattle Discomfort Dead spots
this ride is silly and dumb. it's definitely possible to have fun on this with the right people, but the actual ride leaves a lot to be desired. i enjoyed myself, but i can't reasonably rate it higher than 2.5 stars.
