Coaster reviews

Capacity

It's fine. Not much intensity. The only element I thought gave you something was the helix. I rode in the back row, so I imagine the front is even more relaxed. I'm sure this is a very fun coaster for a kid, but it just didn't do a ton for me. Only one low capacity train, so the operation is very slow. Love the sight of the sideways track over the entrance though.

I got the credit!

Theming Lap Bar Fun Too short

It's a very fun family coaster. I enjoyed this more than Cheetuh Hunt (is that okay?). I loved the theming and the spinning cars. Each of the three rides I did was different. So fun to be facing the car behind or in front of you and wave while laughing. The first part of the coaster is a little underwhelming, and overall, it's too short, but it's hard to deny the big smile I had after riding each time.

Fun Hangtime Harness Discomfort

I really didn't expect to like this as much as I did. This one messes with your head. I love zooming through the station. I really enjoyed the various elements. The hangtime at the top, where you are 150 feet upside down over the pavement while traveling very slowly (so you completely hang from the harness), is VERY disconcerting and kind of awesome. This is a wild and short ride. The cars ARE terrible, though. I'm 6'5" and trying to maneuver through the car to get to the other side was awful. The restraints are equally as terrible. Despite that, I had a great time!

Launch Fun Smoothness Harness Dead spots

Cheetush Hunt is a fun ride with odd pacing. It wants to be fast AND meandering. The first launch is kind of a nothingburger, but the other launches (is it multiple?) are fun. The high figure-8 is so slow it doesn't really make sense. The harnesses are also not very comfortable (especially for a tall person). That said, the ride is a good time. I LOVE the zig-zagging over the water. That element is worth the whole ride. In the back, there are some pretty great airtime moments too. This wasn't my favorite on my visit, but I did enjoy my 3 rides.

Airtimes First Drop Fun Too short

This was my first dive coaster... and now I know I love dive coasters! SheiKra is a blast! If you love airtime, this has got a healthy dose of it. It's a very smooth ride. The first drop is amazing, but I almost think the second drop (through the tunnel) is even better. Both are fantastic. The splashdown is pretty fun. The back and middle rows were great for extra airtime, but it's hard to beat the view from the front row when you hang off that lift hill. Operations, when I went, were subpar. No one was directing people. It was kind of a free-for-all all. Not very fast at sending out trans. No biggie, though. The ride is so fun, it's worth the minor annoyances.

Inversions Intensity

Wow. This is a positive G coaster! Especially when you ride in the back. It's like you're at the end of a whip. The blood will rush to your feet, and I greyed out a little and got dizzy on one or two of the elements. The back row is more intense and surprising. You don't get to see what's coming. You just experience it. The front row was really fun. Less intense. More like flying. Both are great experiences. I also did a night ride in the back row, but I think that would have been better in the front. In the back, the intensity + not seeing what's coming + flashing lights/shadows/rushing noises all make for a "what just happened to me?" experience, but not in the way I prefer. Great ride! And a pretty long one too. FEEL THE TERROR OF MONTU!

Airtimes Pace Intensity Harness

Wow! With Iron Gwazi ranked at #2 in the world... I had very high expectations. After my first ride, let me tell you, it exceeded them. What a trip. As soon as I got I off, I thought, "what in the world just happened to me??" This ride is relentless. The pacing is amazing. The transitions are amazing (and surprising). Airtime in the back row on the first drop is stellar. I LOVE that downhill barrel roll that I just learned they call "The Death Roll." What a wild element. I rode this in the back row, front row, and a few spots throughout. Every spot is a great time. Back is definitely going to be more intense and give you more airtime, but the front row, especially on a night ride, is so much fun. On that note, riding at night is a completely different animal. Highly recommended. I'll be coming back for more Iron Gwazi!

Airtimes First Drop Fun Too short

My first RMC! And... wow, that first drop! Also loved the zero go roll. Fun interactions and drop off the quarry wall. Pretty smooth. Nice airtime. Feels like it should be a little longer though. Amazing ride overall. Truly one of a kind due to its location and scenery!

Theming

Super fun ride (for what it is). Amazing theming. Even more fun at night.

Fun and quick ride. I highly recommend at night ride. Even better if you time it with the fireworks show. We manage to do that and it was a pretty magical experience to hear the music, watch the fireworks, and ride the mine train.

First Drop Inversions

The first drop is pretty wild because you can't really see it until you're on top of it. I would have guessed it's only half as high as it really is until I was riding it (when looking from the queue or the park). Some fun inversions and transitions. Lots of people complain about the rattle, but honestly I didn't notice it too much on my ride. Fairly smooth as well. The loop is pretty big and fun, but is probably one of the least intense elements. Great location with the quarry wall.

It's iconic, but it's a rougher ride. It's not super comfortable if you're tall like me (6'5"). I want to try the analogs to this in the other parks to compare.

Theming Harness Smoothness Too short

Beautiful theming. Incredible soundtrack. Extremely smooth with a fun riding position. Just too short and I wish it had a few extra elements.

If you don't spoil this one and go in blind, you are in for some fun surprises.

Fun ride experience with great theming. Love the ceiling of fire.

A fun family coaster that I recommend riding at night time.

Launch Fun

Is it the most intense and technical coaster? No. Is it an absolute blast and smile-inducing experience? You bet. 5/5 because it never fails to put a massive smile on my face. The cars are comfortable and the helium around the moon is unforgettable. A+ soundtrack makes the ride.

Theming Intensity Ejectors

I have been avoiding and afraid of coasters since I was a kid. I only recently jumped on my first coaster in multiple decades (Guardians Cosmic Rewind) a couple of years ago (which ignited a love I didn't know was there). I was very nervous about Velocicoaster. I came off the my first ride completely SHOOK. I had an amazing time. It was so much fun. But I also had no idea what just happened to me. I was shocked and at a loss for words. My second ride was just pure fun. You think that big top hat is going to be the wild part, but I still can't get over the Mosasaurus roll. You feel like you're being launched out of your seat and that you could simultaneously nearly touch the water. I'm inexperienced with coasters, but I can see why so many say that this is a world-class coaster.

Launch Harness

Fun ride with an iconic start. Excited to see what they do with the re-theme/update. The harness is really bad for tall people. I'm 6'5" and had to majorly slouch for it to be even kind of comfortable. Not super smooth, but smoother than I expected!
