I just re-rode this. Previously, I had a very hard time enjoying it because of the lap bars which killed my thighs. This time, I kept my legs up when they pinned me in so that I had a gap and room under the harness. What a difference. Super fun launch. Fun spaghetti layout. Does get a little slow in spots, but overall a great time. The theming of this ride is also top notch and probably one of the best in the park.

Some fun parts throughout. We had 3 riders, and our car was unbalanced, so we spun a LOT. And then just before the station, we just sat there spinning. That part wasn't ideal. Got pretty motion sick from that.

It IS very cool that this coaster has been around since 1966. But it also FEELS like it's been around since then. It is so rough. I was very happy to get off this ride. But maybe that's all part of the charm and true to the "mine train" feel. I think they way it uses the terrain and a lot of the theming is great, but it was hard for me to enjoy the ride overall.

INTENSE. The double helix, especially. My first ride was in the very back row, and the G-force meter on my watch hit a high of 5.6 g. I greyed out big time. My vision narrowed to almost nothing. Never come that close to blacking out on a coaster before. The first drop is also a lot of fun. The rest of the layout is fine, just not too memorable. Great views from the top! One other note, and maybe this is not normal, but the operations were SO slow. I timed them and they only got a train out every 4-5 minutes. Not sure if they were training or what, but waiting for the train turnarounds was rough.

haha, this was WAY more intense than I was expecting... given how family-oriented it seemed. There are a couple of parts that really pressed me down into the seat (I rode in the back). I was surprised. Great theming and pretty smooth and fun "in the dark" coaster!

This is my second Batman B&M inverted coaster I've ridden, and maybe it's just in my head, but this one felt more intense than Chupacabra/Goliath at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The back row is way more intense, but I love riding these in the front and feeling like I'm flying. G-force app on my watch clocked 5 g on this one. Good intensity and fun inversions.

I only got to ride this once and I rode the backwards train. The launch is punchy and fun. The very short layout packs a lot in. I found this to be quite an enjoyable ride and wish I got to ride it again. Next time!

I have now ridden this OG RMC (8 times)... and it's a lot of fun! The trains are super cool, and there is a bunch of airtime on this ride. The first drop has great airtime, but there are two moments a little later on that I think match or exceed the first drop's airtime. You can tell how RMC used this as a proof of concept and then steadily improved on what makes this one fun with later coasters like the Iron Rattler and Iron Gwazi (only two other RMC hybrids I've ridden so far). Definitely my favorite coaster at Six Flags Over Texas. Ride in the back!

This is my second dive coaster after SheiKra. While it's not as good as that one, it is a great time. Pretty smooth overall. Out of the 5 times I rode, one of the cars did have a rattle with a disconcerting "hop" on parts of the track. The theming is great, but also a bit much if you go through the line over and over... I just want to get on the ride! Great first drop. Very fun. A couple of other nice elements. If you sit on the right side of the car, you feel like you can reach out and touch the ground during the helix. This is a fun dive coaster that is worth the ride.

I tried coasters as a kid and was terrified of them. So, I went through life without riding any. Cosmic Rewind was my first coaster in multiple decades, and it awakened a love I didn't know was there. This coaster is such a joy to ride. It's not the most intense or technical coaster out there, but it's an incredible and unmissable experience. The theming, the music, the immersion, and the indoor design are all top tier. So, 5/5 because it never fails to put a massive smile on my face and because it's given me an incredible new hobby and experiences in life. The cars are also super comfortable, the track is smooth, and the helix around the moon is unforgettable. A+ soundtrack makes the ride.

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!

I thought this was just ok going forward... but the backwards round is just terrible. It's rough and the cars are cramped. The harness isn't comfortable. The whole thing is rattlely. I don't know how to describe why the reverse section is so terrible. It's just so jarring and uncomfortable. My head hurt afterward. Got the credit at least!

I dunno. It's fine, I guess. Riding in the back row this thing has such a rattle. It's also pretty rough. Maybe it would be better at the front. I liked the interactions with the quarry wall and with Iron Rattler's track, but the rest was pretty forgettable or uncomfortable.

Intense! Greyed out on each ride. Snappy ride. Not up to snuff with something like Montu, but this is my first time riding a Batman clone and I enjoyed it overall. The back was the most intense. The front was intense, just not nearly as much as the back. Riding in the front makes you feel like you're flying.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
