Awesome B&M invert. After my first ride it was my least favorite but when it warmed up it became one of my favorite inverts. This ride does have a few decently snappy moments and even a surprise pop of airtime. but positive g's is really where this ride shines. The exit of the vertical loop is a guarantee grey out and I'm not one to grey out much. The 2 helixes are also have very sustained positive g's throw in a bunch of other moments with good forces. Not to mention the pacing on this ride is excellent, no dead spots and the ride hauls and feels like it just keeps getting faster which is weird but I like it. Overall this ride is extremely intense and should not be overlooked because its a top tier B&M invert for me.

Very underrated coaster. Sit in the back and you will get insane ejector on the first drop. The vertical loop gives great positives and the batwing gives great whip going into it followed by crushing positives. The corkscrews can either give amazing hang time if running slow or they give some positives and this very weird sensation that’s hard to describe if running fast. The final helix also gives some solid positives. If the ride is running really fast you can even get airtime coming into the MCBR and final brake run. The ride is also butter smooth with only 1 or 2 awkward transitions. This ride is an absolute hidden gem.

The definition of Intamin death. The pacing is insane since you stay low to the ground the whole ride and even the trim can’t kill the pacing. If the pacing isn’t enough then you have the crushing positives, I don’t grey out much but that first turn had me every time and even made me blackout once. And don’t sleep on the rest of this ride there were like 3 or 4 other moments I was greying out, I’m pretty sure I greyed out more on this one coaster than every other coaster I’ve ridden combined, I was literally seeing grey for half of the ride. The airtime was actually really good as well, the first drop and first hill are sustained strong ejector, the transition after the first hill somehow gives powerful ejector, and even the trimmed hill and the hill following manage to give flojector on a good ride. Also the s bends and pop into the brake run somehow give airtime ranging from strong floater to weaker ejector. So even though the ride doesn’t focus on airtime it still surprisingly excels in that category. And don’t even get me started on the whip. Those s bends and turn into the brake run whip u so ridiculously hard it feels like you break your neck, you can’t even see yourself turning you whip that hard it’s like you teleport. And also because this ride is just that insane you get airtime on these s bends. The ride doesn’t have the longest duration but it still feels long due to the amount of elite elements packed in and how physically draining the ride is, I rode it 3 times in a row once and after that I was just completely out of it. Also I don’t have any problems with the restraints either, yeah t bars would be nice but I don’t mind the ones it has. Overall this coaster has everything I look for in love in a coaster which is why its one of the best on the planet.

Solid RMC overall. Not my favorite of the small RMC's but still packs a punch. the barrel roll down drop has great hangtime mixed with whip in the back row. The first ejector hill is RMC at its finest and my favorite element on the ride. The next 3 sustained ejector hills are also great too. The trick track double up is very overrated, barely providing ejector but the ride makes up for it with the excellent double down following. Overall Storm Chaser doesn't have a large quantity of airtime moments, but what it does have more than makes up, especially those 4 sustained hills in the beginning.

Definitely a top tier invert. The ride hauls and keeps getting better as the ride progresses. The first drop is excellent for an invert. All of the inversions are very intense, with that pretzel knot, 2nd loop and ending helix packing in the most g's. You even get a unique hangtime with that final inversion. the ride also is very long and has a nice and sort of unique layout for an invert. The vests and rattle also don't bother me at all. Really the only thing stopping me from ranking this higher is that it doesn't have the snap of the older inverts, but for what it is it is an amazing ride.

Phantom does pretty much nothing for the first half of the ride, but after you rise out of that ravine you get some of the wildest airtime on the planet, and that lap bar makes it feel even stronger as you are yanked completely out of your seat.

Pretty overrated. A lot of the airtime hills are weak and the pacing is horrendous. However there is a few great airtime moments, especially the it happens hill which is one of the best airtime moments I've ever experienced. The helix in the middle of the spaghetti bowl is also surprisingly intense too. The restraints also a really great despite what people say. Overall the ride has a lot of dead spots and definitely has the potential to be a lot better if it could run faster.

Pretty chill ride like every B&M hyper. However this is definitely my favorite because you can get some ridiculous room and enjoy all of the amazing extremely sustained floater and then violently slam back down in your seat.

Best coaster at KI. Needs a little time to warm up but back row at night with about a foot of room sealed the deal for me. Most of the time they honor row requests and allow you to get a lot of room, which definitely makes a big difference for the ride. The trains are comfortable and the ride is butter smooth. The color scheme and appearance of the ride and area in general is nice. As for the ride itself, the drop is one of the best out there giving seemingly eternal airtime and will violently slam you back into your seat at the end. The wave turn, speed hill and final off axis hill stand out as good elements as well. The ride does have a bit of airtime, positives and laterals but isn’t really that strong in any particular force. However the pacing is amazing, it’s fast in the first place and it’s able to maintain that speed for the entire layout. The ride looks short or as if it is lacking a few elements on paper but once you actually ride it feels perfectly satisfying. Overall the ride kind of reminds me of a B&M version of millennium force, which is great because I love that ride. Overall I think Orion was great addition to the park and a fantastic strata coaster.

Rode it for the last time 2 days before closing in the front row, and that was a really good ride. The launches have a little force to them, and the spikes give a weird and fun sensation. Wicked Twister also doesn’t hurt like possessed did for some reason but I’m glad it doesn’t. Overall nothing special but it was a pretty fun ride

It’s a fun ride but nothing special. The Jojo roll and first drop are pretty good but the rest of the ride doesn’t do much. Overall one of the weaker floorless coasters to me.

This is an amazing coaster and actually a bit underrated. By far the best pacing on a coaster I’ve ridden. It feels like your face is ripping off the whole ride. Your eyes literally water from the wind in your face and it’s the only ride where I literally could not see because of the wind. The ride just absolutely flies through every foot of track on the layout. The ride is also very intense too with the first overbank being a guarantee greyout and a lot of underrated moments of positive G’s later in the ride. The airtime is also underrated and is for some reason a lot stronger in the front row, and you can add one of the best drops every created to that mix of airtime. Plus the t bars make you feel so open and give you so much room. Overall I just love the insane pacing and speed of Millennium Force that is unmatched by any other ride with the nice intensity and airtime thrown in.

I wish I could put ejectors for all 3 pros. This ride is just never ending airtime and all of it is ejector. I man what hasn’t been said about this coaster that hasn’t been said by thousands of others. It’s a never ending ride with all different types of ejector moments and some fun inversions and turns. The first drop is one of the best, the outer bank is amazing sustained and and strong off axis ejector and the best part of the ride is the finale with all the rapid fire strong ejector pops. There’s actually a lot of really underrated ejector moments on the ride just because of how many there is, and the ride never gets repetitive, I mean what’s wrong with almost 30 seconds of ejector airtime. The airtime isn’t the absolute strongest but a lot of the moments are pretty strong especially when warmed up and trimless. The pacing isn’t amazing but it does take each element at a pretty rapid pace and there’s no dead spots. Overall I prefer some of the intamin rides that try to kill you and have more variety but SteVe is still too 3 for me and one of the best coasters ever made.

This ride moved up from being not even in my top 10 to my favorite coaster I’ve ridden, on my most recent trip to the park I got 7 rides including a night ride and this ride is just on another level. It felt like an even crazier version of Intimidator 305 with launches. Anyway this ride is just so good at everything. It has 3 insanely strong and sustained ejector moments including possibly the best first drop in the world, the ride is actually very intense with 6 possible greyout moments including the turn over the lake which made my black out once. And then there’s the snappy moments, The s bends at the beginning we’re some of the whippiest moments I’ve experienced but those are just a warm up for the insane Stengel dives. These Stengel dives are the only moments I’ve felt that are so snappy they actually kinda hurt just from the pure whip, these things blow any other moment of whip out of the water, even the snaps on Intimidator 305 and now maverick’s Stengel dives are my new favorite elements. The launches on this ride are good too, with the first providing a surprising little punch and the 2nd is almost on the level of hydraulic launches it’s that good. The pacing on this ride is relentless, there is no dead spots or breaks from feeling like your gonna die and the ride feels like it goes 100mph especially after the 2nd launch. Maverick also has the best layout on a coaster I’ve ridden and it isn’t even close. Overall this ride just has insane forces of every type and the variety mixed with the relentlessness that tries to kill you makes this ride my new #1. I always wished for a coaster that does what this ride did on my rerides and it was hiding in plain sight. I could literally put every possible thing for a pro I’m not even joking. This coaster is just heaven on earth.

Great sustained floater on the 3 drops. Nothing else really but those 3 moments are good enough for it to be a decent ride plus its relatively smooth and just a fun ride. Definitely an upper tier arrow looper.

Nice fun ride. Definitely the best family coaster I've ridden by far. The indoor section is actually kinda intense and fast paced and the drop track is a nice fun airtime moment and suprise.

Definitely an underrated ride. No wattle and the restraints are actually good. The ride is actually very intense, the inversions are fun and the 3 helixes slam you with positives. The first drop was not as good as I expected but thats the only con with the ride, definitely was just surprising how intense it was.

I was not expecting this ride to be as good as it was. The restraints are so good they feel like buzz bars so you get awesome standing airtime on so many moments. The helix also has great laterals and feels very fast. I also really like the weird transitions that slam you up and then back down into your seat. Overall I was not expecting the ride to be as fun and have as many good moments as I did, solid hyper coaster.

this ride is SO underrated, the top hat and drop of the mid course have violent ejector airtime, there is also really good whip and laterals, i really like those lap bars as well, just wish there was some more elements it felt a bit short

This ride blew me away. When I put intensity for a pro I'm talking about the laterals. The laterals are some of the strongest I've felt and they are even strong in random sections like in between the 2 lifts. The only ride I've ridden that does laterals better is Legend and Twister isn't even that far off, there is just so many great moments of them. The pacing on this ride is also very good especially in the 2nd half where it feels like its just gonna rip the track off it feels way too fast. The ride has a little airtime but really not much, the majority of woodies I've ridden have better airtime so I think that's an area of improvement. Also I feel like the ride could be a little longer. Overall I was expecting this ride to be nothing special but it turned out to be an absolute powerhouse.

although im not as big of a fan as most, this ride still gets a 10/10 from me, the strength and length of the airtime is like no other, but i feel like this coaster could use more airtime moments and some variety as well, thats why i think its slightly overrated

This ride is unbearable. It really sucks because I think the ride would have great forces but I honestly don't know because the only thing I could focus on was the immense pain in my thighs. These restraints are the worst ever, the comfort collar and the shin guards don't bother me, but the lap bar portion will crush your thighs so hard its 10 times worse than Skyrush or T3. If the thigh crushing alone wasn't enough the position the restraints had your legs in made it even more uncomfortable and awkward. There is also no way to stop yourself from getting stapled as soon as you start getting positive g's that lap bar will come down and crush your thighs. At least on other rides that are uncomfortable I can still enjoy the elements and ride defensively if I have to. On Tempesto there is no way to avoid it, it hurts the whole ride and its simply unbearable.

I was able to experience Voyage trimless at night at Holiwood Nights, and those rides were in a league of their own, the ride never ends, it holds its speed seemingly perfectly from start to finish, and although not the strongest in the airtime or lateral department, it makes up for it with the sheer amount of airtime and lateral moments, and just flying through the woods at breakneck speed for a minutes and a half, not being able to see anything and just getting dragged around like a rag doll is simply magical. However I do not like that this ride is rather lacking in the positives department and that it has a few dead spots, but it really doesn't take away from the insanity of this ride, some of my rides did have a bit of a rattle, but its tolerable and doesn't take away from the ride. As far as traditional wood coasters go, this destroys ever other one out there, and Voyage deserves all of the hype it gets because it is a ride that is just on such a massive scale and is so much different from anything else out there. It is an absolute endurance test.

this is the only small scale RMC ive ridden so far and i love it, the ride never ends and there is great ejector everywhere, the pacing and inversions are also pretty good as well, the only bad thing is that it doesnt have good positives and whip

Probably the best of the small scale RMC’s, this ride is insane. There is over 15 moments of ejector airtime which is insane and their is just so much different types of airtime and it’s so strong. The trick track double up and following hill give airtime matching the strength of el toro and lightning rod it literally hurts your thighs and the 3 camelbacks give so much sustained ejector. The outer bank was not as strong and wild as I expected but it’s still nice, and the rest of the airtime moments are just nice pops of strong ejector that u can expect from an RMC. This ride has great quality of airtime as there is some really sustained moments and it’s some of the strongest airtime I’ve experienced and great quantity of airtime too, it’s a perfect blend. The inversions on this coaster are very enjoyable too but the main focus is definitely the airtime, everything else is filler. This ride also has some surprising moments of laterals too, some while you are getting airtime which is cool. The pacing also surprised me, you fly through the layout and never feel like you slow down, the elements progressively get more rapid fire and this ride is just wild and relentless. It’s also a very long ride that will have you more than satisfied. I also love these restraints, I heard some bad things about them but I got so much room that the lap bar wasn’t even touching me and I never even noticed the shin guards. Overall this is a great ride filled with some of the best airtime out there.
