Rattle Discomfort Dead spots

To be frank it’s a run of the mill miler kiddie coaster and rides like the majority of them. That being said it’s a good first time ride for the kids but as someone who rode it as a young teenager I found it to be dissatisfying for me personally. Keep in mind I’m not the target audience though

Smoothness Too short Dead spots Layout

This is a standard layout Zierer force 190 and has been cloned 8 times. That being said this is a very smooth ride with a mild bit of positive force and no airtime. These facts are not at all surprising when you consider this is the park's only true junior coaster. I did not go as low as half a star simply because I did not dislike this coaster, in fact, I found it to be a relaxing albeit forceless ride that allowed me to get a coaster credit that gave me a break from the larger and more insane coasters at the park. Overall Air Grover does what it was intended to do, nothing more, nothing less.

Airtimes Intensity Layout Rattle Discomfort

Well, where do I start with this incredible CCI creation? It has an excellent layout that I personally prefer over the Legend at Holiday world, which is an impressive feat considering how much I love the legend. To continue I will break down what makes this ride great. To start this ride had some surprisingly good floater and ejector airtime moments, all of which were very strong for a CCI creation. The ride also has the strongest and most violent laterals I have ever experienced. The laterals are what makes this ride for me, I have never experienced anything quite like it. The pacing is awesome and the ride maintains speed well over its nearly 4000 feet of track. You know a ride is well-paced when you come into the brake run and the upstops are spinning like crazy. The ride never lets up and throws a variety of different types of forces at you. Now for the one problem with Rampage, the roughness. Despite the recent track work on some sections I personally think the park needs to do the entire ride. Rampage seems to have square wheels during certain moments of the ride which is rather unfortunate but not surprising given the high stress on the track and supports. Overall this is an epic coaster that offers a lot and did not by any stretch of the measure let me down, in fact, it exceeded expectations.

Too short Discomfort Pointless

I dont have to say any more than here we go again with those blasted SBF spinners

Fun Masterpiece Intensity

Kentucky rumbler is one of those hidden gems, I mean who would have thought a tiny little park in Kentucky would add such an awesome wooden coaster from GCI. The intensity, fast pace, surprise airtime moments, and out of control feeling of the ride allow for a top notch guest experience. I highly recommend finding your way to this nice little park that in addition to this great ride has 2 other coaster credits and most notably a very solid flat ride line up with a mix of new and classic thrill rides.

Fun Intensity Rattle Discomfort

Well this was a really rough janky ride from a past time, but that is what made it cool to ride. I found the ride historic but incredibly uncomfortable with its sit on the floor seating not to mention rough tracking. Overall a fun coaster that is good if you are willing to sacrifice your body a bit for a ride!

Comfort Fun Smoothness Too short Dead spots

Legend is a solid family friendly wooden coaster. I feel it is a step up from the woodstock express clones but not a legendary ride. But for an old wooden rollercoaster it is smooth given its near complete retrack and refurbishment which added modern magnetic breaks. This smoothness helps make the ride more fun but sadly the ride had very little airtime and basically no other forces, overall a wash to be honest. But the ride is still thrilling enough to earn three stars and it has a nice fun factor, its good fun but nothing special.

Comfort Intensity Layout Too short Capacity

Turbulence is a great Mack rides spinner with very intense moments and an overall awesome ride experience. While the employees were rude and disrespectful toward guests the ride itself offers great positive force, spinning action, and overall fun factor. I can not give it a perfect score because of that length, it is a ridiculously short ride lasting maybe 25 seconds from first drop to brakes, but what a sweet 25 seconds that is for sure!

Fun Too short Dead spots

Ok I like a good tivoli so no hate here, but they are basic family rides so honestly I had fun but its not really a special ride, not bad, not great, just fine.

Theming Fun Duration Rattle Capacity Dead spots

Wow, as one of my only experiances with dark ride/ rollercoaster hybrid I absolutely loved it. This is a great ride, the theme is dark yet well executed. It was basically a legit coaster turned into a creepy and awesome adventure as you seem to travel deep underground and slowly climb back to the surface. I absolutely love this ride and it will be a priority when I return. One thing that should be noted is this consistently had a 30 to 45 minute wait, so its a popular ride so hit it first, I did not hit it first because I did not know so now yall know and can avoid the line!

Lap Bar Rattle Disappointing! Pointless

What the heck, this ride was more boring than hurler at carowinds, like what made anyone think that this was a good layout concept. While it is nice to see a buzzbar wooden coaster operating, it doesnt matter much as there is absolutely no airtime so who the heck cares. Boring and rough this ride is just a disaster. I will say it because no one else has the guts to, William Cobb can not design rollercoasters, I have yet to ride a good ride from him nor have I seen one, talking to you Anaconda at Walygator parc, no way im looking forward to that ride much like I will probably avoid a reride except for footage reasons and that goes for all future William Cobb rides to be honest, what a one and done ride.

Smoothness Capacity Disappointing! Dead spots

For my first Maurer spinner I had high hopes after seeing pov videos of European Maurer spinners and spider at lagoon. Boy was I disappointed by phoenix. Basically no spinning, stacking so much that each midcourse would slam you to a near stop which further hurt the intensity. Overall this ride is a disastrous attempt at a spinner, I prefer a freaking Zamperla mouse to this ride!

First Drop Fun Intensity Rattle Discomfort

Outlaw rides like an outlaw, rough, rowdy, and out of control. With Legendary coaster designer Mike Boodley Designing this ride before leaving CCI this ride is a preview of GCI. Mr. Boodley and I speak often and he looks back on all his rides with humble thoughts which I think is amazing considering the high quality layouts and twisted track Mr. Boodley designed masterfully. Was outlaw a pretty rough ride at the start, I am sure not, He designed this ride to have tons of intensity with a small height of just under 70 feet, an amazing achievement. The ride twists and turns through a bumpy but intense course and was a great ride overall. Was I a little bruised, well yeah but i am younger so I can handle it!

First Drop Inversions Hangtime Too short Capacity

This ride is epic and quite frankly carries the entire park, by far the best coaster and overall ride in the park. This is what Gerstlaur can do beyond those eurofighters, Gerstlaur is quickly showing me that they are a top tier manufacturer and a trip to europe someday may change them to my favorite manufacturer beating a current four way tie for my favorite with Gerstlaur, B&M, Intamin, and RMC. But back to the ride, Hang time, Hang time, Hang time, and more Hangtime is what this ride excels at. With unique inversions and a trim that may be the only trim in history to add to the ride experiance, making the corkscrew very slow and full of even more hangtime, and best of all those Gerstlaur lap bars make it even more epic. This ride is unique and thrilling, great criteria to meet for a great coaster!

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness Dead spots

Wow this was a heck of a ride, I am not sure how to describe how it made me feel riding a ride like this for the first time. I felt myself travel back in time to Busch gardens when it operated there, how guests must of felt on their first ride on this thrilling new rollercoaster. I loved the smoothness and pure fun factor of Wildcat. This is a perfect example of what a classic ride can be if properly maintained and carefully designed. I maintain to this day that Anton Schwarzkopf is a freaking legend. Also a little bit of floater airtime after the drops when I rose up the hill to the next turn i floated up, which was a nice surprise. Overall goes above and beyond what it looks like it does, a great design!!

Fun Layout Rattle Discomfort Lap Bar

I wanted to find this to be a mid to upper tier coaster, but instead it was like a 2 star hotel, does the job, has a few good things, but definitely not a comfortable stay, just a survivable one. The diving turn is awesome and the ride offers some great forces as well. But the ride was brutally rough with unpadded restraints. The roughness rivals that of the worst arrow and vekomas... no scratch that, this is way rougher and I will stand by that. This was still intense enough to be fun and the layout is awesome, but its clear its relocations have not treated it very well sadly. It was so rough I did not try that dive turn in the back row, I kind of regret that in retrospect but if the front was brutal, the back may attempt to murder me in cold blood.

Airtimes Fun Duration Discomfort Dead spots

While a kiddie coaster I got a little bit of airtime and that is better than most kids coasters. I love it when kids rides surprise me with a bit of thrills and this was not an exception!

Airtimes Fun Ejectors Layout

New texas giant proves that a prototype can hold it's own against later rides of the same model! This was the first rmc and it holds up as an amazing ride, this ride may be weaker than some of its counterparts but you just cant go wrong with an rmc. The airtime is solid in the front but I dare say elite in the back. The first drop is a strong pop of ejector and that will be a common theme throughout the ride. Unfortunately the repetitive over banks in place of inversion are what make me give this a 9 out of ten, still an awesome and must do at six flags over texas!

Launch Masterpiece Intensity Rattle Discomfort

I must start by saying this might be the greatest cloned ride ever built. I wish premier had built one at every six flags park, it's that good. The ride has an intense launch, and did I mention your going 0 to 70 freaking backwards, I Typically dislike going backwards but this is an exception no doubt. The ride then enters an inverted top hat. This moment will make many gray out with its intensity. Then the ride traverses an over banked curve that is pretty forceful. then the ride is boosted up a vertical spike before doing everything forward. I recommend sitting in the back row which in a way is also the front row, it's the magic seat. The only cons are the ride has that premier rattle and the trains are a little cramped.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun Rattle

This is so underrated, this is a kiddie coaster with an airtime moment! The ride itself is pretty short but it had decent theming and is much better than its larger counterpart runaway mine train. Yes I said that and I stand by it. That being said this is one of the best kiddie coasters I've ridden, its awesome!!!!

Smoothness Disappointing! Pointless Dead spots

Let me start by saying I enjoy classic women coasters, I enjoy them a lot, however this one just didnt do it for me. This was one of the most disappointing rides of my massive trip and I hate saying that but it's simply true. The ride had very weak to no airtime, tons of dead spots, and seemed to crawl over some of the "airtime hills". The bright side was how shockingly smooth this ride was for its age, I'll give credit where it is due this was a butter smooth ride. Other than that I feel that I may have ridden this ride before it warmed up and th as t may be why it was not that good, so I'll definitely give it a chance when I revisit the park.

Intensity Capacity Discomfort Layout

Let me start by saying that this is better than batman at fiesta texas but still isn't great. I just find this ride very uncomfortable and somewhat nauseating. I wanted to like but I just couldn't:(

Inversions Pace Intensity Rattle

Another fun and intense batman clone, I must say I really like these fast paced, intense, and well designed layouts. The first 3 inversions are insane in the front row more than the back, honestly these batman clones are more intense in the front row. The wing over elements are my favorite part of the ride due to how whippy they are. Overall, a clone but a good clone.

Smoothness Capacity Disappointing! Discomfort

ricochet is just meh. This ride is heavily trimmed to the point where it really ruins the ride experience. I love a good wild mouse as im a fan of laterals, but this ride is simply not a great wild mouse. Due to the trims the ride has many sudden and uncomfortable slowdown points that are really a huge con about this ride. I gave this ride 2 stars because it still has some okay lateral forces, but other than that the ride is pretty terrible.

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors Harness

Where do I start with this legendary coaster, it is fast, intense, and full of the most legendary airtime moments I've ever experienced!!! The first drop in the back row is literally insane, and the pacing is impeccable. The ride has 3 inversions, all of which offer positive force, but there is one moment that stands out from all the others. Back row, twisted airtime hill, this element violently ejects riders and is so extreme that it feels surreal. This is one of the greatest rides ever built in my opinion and I cant wait to see more of this model built.

First Drop Location Intensity Rattle

I absolutely love the setting of this ride, you cant go wrong with the worlds tallest floorless coaster, the layout is amazing but sadly many six flags b&ms are developing rattles as of this year, likely due to a cut in maintenance budgets. That being said this has my favorite drop on any b&m looper I've ridden and it shines because of the strange ability to give the force of a twisted drop at first but then the airtime of a straight drop as it gets toward the bottom. The rides inversions are massive, and its 70 mph top speed is insane and you feel it. This ride has one of the best cobra rolls ever created, its as snappy as an invert cobra roll! The rides mcbr barely trims you at all and the rattle is prevalent more on the ending of the ride. I also want to give a shout out to the ride ops for being engaged and excited, not to mention some of the best covid era operations I saw on my massive summer trip. This ride is amazing, and with a little TLC to fix the rattle this ride will be 5 stars!

First Drop Masterpiece Ejectors Too short

Where do I start with irat, this is one of the best creations from the legendary Alan schilke, from the twisted drop that paid homage to the original rattlers drop minus the 7 lateral gs lol. The drop does give insane ejector and some reasonable lateral force as well. The ride than has many more ejector moments and an awesome zero g roll that offers a nice bit of hang time which I think is a nice contrast from the ejector airtime. Then after a less speedy but still fun section atop the quarry wall comes the greatest airtime moment on the ride, the drop off the quarry wall. This is one of the greatest ejector moments ever created, it beats the first drop by a mile. The ejector tanks you upwards and is sustained for a second or 2 adding to the insanity that is irat. Then after that there is a cool tunnel before a nice pop of air into the brakes. Overall iron rattler is a top tier rmc that is short but incredibly sweet!!!

Airtimes Masterpiece Ejectors Rattle

This ride is just straight up amazing, the back row is the way to go with this one, no doubt. The ride has powerful ejector airtime in the back row, but the downside is that it is not exactly smooth in the back. The ride is 150 feet tall but delivers a better experience then the much larger mamba at worlds of fun. I cant say enough how amazing this ride is and it sits firmly in my top 50. The first drop has ejector like an rmc and the double hill is insane, then in the giant downward helix the positive force is pretty insane and also has a great head chopper at the end. The ride is amazing from start to finish and in my opinion is the best in the park, just edging out texas stingray.

Smoothness Capacity Dead spots Layout

This ride is not bad or anything it does exactly what it is supposed to do, it gives the kids their own coaster to ride, other than that it's just a little cred to get

Location Intensity Ejectors Rattle

This is one of the best arrow mine trains ever built. It has as intense, thrilling layout that drives off the quarry wall and has a couple very aggressive helices that bring the trade marked intensity that the legend Alan schilke is known for! The ride is a true top tier arrow and gives the classic feel with modern day intensity and for that it is a must ride!
