    First Drop Intensity Layout

    I dunno man, I like it! There's a guaranteed greyout on the helix and I find those old school forceless hyper drops charming. The washed out paint only adds to the appeal. Sue me!

    Launch Pace Fun Too short

    Only been on it with the backward launch. almost seems pointless without it

    Inversions Fun Too short Dead spots

    Truth be told I haven't been on this guy in over a decade I just think the "jojo roll" is the funniest element ever

    Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity Too short Discomfort

    Did I hallucinate doing this with VR goggles? Did it come to me in a fever dream? Surprisingly fun and forceful old dinosaur regardless. That it looks moments away from collapsing into a dust cloud ad...

    Nice surprise! Fun Discomfort

    I like the flying coaster gimmick so much I'm willing to overlook the fact that this is objectively a bad one

    Capacity Smoothness Pointless Layout

    The go-to "Toro and Nitro have hour long lines because it's a June weekend" ride. filler

    Smoothness Duration Harness Disappointing! Dead spots

    Seat hurts your balls, harness hurts your shoulders. Mostly forceless with some tiny airtime pockets and a cool water section (when the water is on). Usually the longest line in the park because of dr...

    Airtimes Fun Dead spots

    Adore the logo. Every coaster should have a little cloaked figure on its trains. Cool airtime hills that sometimes have actual airtime

    Inversions Launch Too short

    Didn't know it was possible for a coaster to have cringeworthy theming. They're lucky the ride is fun

    First Drop Intensity Layout

    Where's the first helix? Why does the midcourse brake run completely stop you? Titan clears 🥱

    Intensity Headbanging Discomfort

    Too disorienting for you to comprehend the forces you're feeling. Not terribly comfortable. Pretty bad operations. None of this matters because it's one of the only genuinely frightening coasters in e...

    Theming Layout Duration Dead spots

    Has no right to be as forceful as it is. Lovely theming and queue, fantastic layout for the most part. Terribly slow ops but I don't think there's much they can really do about that given the nature o...

    Inversions Fun Layout

    Genuinely frightening at times. Flying coasters are easily one of my favorite gimmicks, and the views from this thing are stunning

    Too short Tear it down! Pointless

    What are we even doing here? The launch isn't even that great! "415 feet tall" but it feels like 150. A deafeningly loud waste of space. The attached drop tower is fun

    Airtimes First Drop Intensity

    The pain is real and it makes the ride better. Wouldn't be the same without it. They somehow made a 76 degree drop feel like 91

    Headbanging Harness Discomfort

    The haters are all right, the defenders are all deluded. Somehow hurt your legs (?) in addition to the headbanging. Uninspired layout, lame queue, usually managed to rack up a decently long line in sp...

    Launch Intensity Tear it down!

    There'll never be an element as nerve-wracking as this launch. I don't care if it rattled a little bit, that added to the intimidation. The "airtime hill" with zero airtime adds half a star for humor....

    First Drop Intensity Too short Dead spots

    Drops are fun but there are a couple wide turns where nothing really happens. A teeny bit rattly. Definitely wouldn't ride over Montu or Gwazi

    Fun Intensity Smoothness Reliability

    Crazy forceful for an invert. Ride near the back so you can't see which element is coming next. Usually one of the shorter lines in the park, but it's broken down a few times this week.

    Pace Intensity Ejectors

    Probably not the best RMC, but the best one I've done. Some of the moments (death roll, stall) don't hit super hard unless you're near the back on the left side. Otherwise it's got a wicked pace, sick...
