Coaster reviews

Fun Layout

A solid wild mouse with it’s fun drops, laterals and spinning but it’s still just a wild mouse.

Theming Fun Capacity Discomfort Layout

These spinning mice are some of my favorite wild mouse coasters and this one is no different. This one has cool theming and since I wasn’t sitting next to someone the laterals from the turns pushed me into the other seat which was interesting. It’s just a wild mouse and the layout is very bland so it’s not going to rank too high but for a wild mouse it’s solid.

Theming Fun Dead spots Intensity

Definitely an upper tier mine train with the theming and unique layout. Doesn’t pull too many forces but it’s a fun ride.

Fun Smoothness Dead spots Intensity

A unique, weird and fun ride for sure but it just doesn’t really do anything.

Theming Fun Discomfort Dead spots Layout

I don’t remember too much about this but I remember it being a solid family coaster. Definitely didn’t have the ejector that some people say it has and some of the transitions were a bit jerky but it’s a fun and well themed ride.

Fun Smoothness Airtimes Dead spots

A pretty lackluster ride except for the nice laterals on the last helix and fun tunnel drop following. At least it’s a butter smooth ride though.

Inversions Location Dead spots Layout Reliability

I only got 1 flip on this so it was pretty boring. I also was barely able to ride this due to reliability issues throughout the day. At least it looks nice right next to the lake.

Airtimes Location Rattle Discomfort Dead spots

I’ve ridden this many times and a few of the times the ride actually had a few good airtime moments and was relatively smooth but most of my rides on it do nothing and are very rough. That turnaround next to the lift in particular was the worst for roughness. Averaging out all of my rides this is how I would rate it. Predator has potential if smooth and it’s running fast but most of the time it’s terrible.

Inversions Fun Rattle Dead spots Layout

It has some fun elements and inversions but the SLC layout is just really bland and boring to me and the ride is still a bit rough and uncomfortable despite the new restraints.

Theming Fun Capacity Dead spots

Despite the theming I find this ride to run slower than the other Maurer spinners that I’ve ridden so it’s my least favorite. With that said it’s still a decent family coaster with some fun moments.

Fun Dead spots

These Maurer spinners are solid family coasters with fun spinning and random forces, but nothing more than that.

Fun Dead spots

These Maurer spinners are always fun and have some cool and weird forces at some spots. However they do have a lot of filler track and overall aren’t too forceful.

Fun Dead spots

It’s a fun family coaster that does spin a little bit but it has a lot of slow and forceless sections.

First Drop Theming Pointless Dead spots

The skull with the waterfall is cool and the first drop gives some airtime in the back but other than that it crawls and does absolutely nothing.

Inversions Hangtime Dead spots Layout

The inversions were fun and the corkscrews gave hangtime. The ride wasn’t even rough but the layout was just bland and the ride is slow and forceless.

Location Fun Duration Capacity Dead spots Intensity

These alpine coasters are always plain fun. This one doesn’t pull too many forces but it does have some fun turns and dips. Not to mention it’s beautiful too, especially at night with that great light package. The throughput for these rides is also not great so I had to wait a while since there was a lot of people there. Overall it’s nothing that amazing but still a fun experience.

Nice surprise! Location Hangtime Discomfort Dead spots Intensity

It’s really not as bad as people say. It hurts a little bit due to the bad transitions, especially during the helixes but the pain is definitely manageable. This coaster also surprised me with the random airtime and lateral combo entering the mid course and the insane hangtime during the corkscrews. Most of the ride is boring, pointless and forceless though so it still isn’t that good.

Nice surprise! Location Dead spots Intensity

This kinda surprised me with the butterflies on its first drop and one really good swing later during the ride. Other than that it’s pretty slow and forceless, but at least it’s relaxing and scenic.

Theming Launch Disappointing! Discomfort Dead spots

People always told me that these backlot clones were some of the best family coasters but this coaster really didn’t do much for me. The launch was fun and the helix was decently intense but everything else either did nothing or was uncomfortable.

Intensity Headbanging Too short Layout

I’ve ridden this a lot and it’s pretty inconsistent, some days it’s very intense while other days it’s almost completely forceless, sometimes it’s smooth while other times it gives a lot of head banging. On average this is probably what I would rate it, it’s still just a boomerang so pretty bland and mediocre.

Intensity Too short Layout

Pretty intense ride and relatively comfortable thanks to the vests. It is a boomerang however so it has an unoriginal layout and is pretty short. These boomerangs are just mediocre rides to me and this one is no different.

Pace Intensity Duration

This ride is an absolute beast. It has by far the best and strongest laterals I’ve experienced and probably on any coaster. The whole ride is very fast paced and out of control as you travel through a great setting in the woods. There is lots of laterals throughout the whole ride but the best moment is undoubtedly that helix. Even though this helix is towards the end of the ride you still hit it at breakneck speed and immediately get slammed with the strongest laterals I’ve ever felt, and these laterals keep getting progressively stronger as you are pinned to the side of your seat for about 15 seconds straight and you even get a floater pop while these laterals are happening towards the end. It is one of the most insane elements I’ve ever experienced. This ride even has some nice airtime on the first drop if you are in the back and on the double up. This ride also is extremely long and has a nice layout and collection of elements. The ride is a bit rough but I can handle it fine. Also night rides are spectacular. Overall this ride has top notch pacing and laterals and is one of the best as far as traditional woodies go.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Dead spots Intensity

This is definitely one of the best mine train coasters. The theming is cool and the ride has some surprising moments of laterals. The ride is also just plain fun and not rough at all. It’s a family coaster so it doesn’t pull that strong of forces but it’s great for what it’s intended to be.

Theming Nice surprise! Discomfort Dead spots

It’s more of a dark ride so the theming is cool but it doesn’t really do much, however the ending has 3 solid drops that surprised me but these hurt your back a little due to the unpadded seats. The ride is really just mediocre overall but it is kind of strange.

Launch Intensity Harness Discomfort Layout

The launches are fun and decently forceful and going into the spikes you pull some good G’s. Unfortunately the seat mold is really uncomfortable and the metal from the thing the seat belt buckles into hurts your arm that’s forced to rest against it. I had neither of these problems on wicked twister which is strange, and wicked twister just runs better than this overall. Decent supporting coaster but it can be a bit painful.

Theming Launch Duration Discomfort Dead spots Layout

Pretty mediocre ride. The launch is solid and the inversions are fun but the ride is pretty forceless, has a lot of slow and pointless moments and a bunch of jerky transitions.

Capacity Inversions Smoothness Dead spots Intensity

This coaster pulls pretty much no force and runs slow but the inversions still are somewhat fun. Overall pretty mediocre ride and low tier B&M looper.

First Drop Smoothness Duration Disappointing! Airtimes Dead spots

I find Gemini pretty overrated overall. The first drop has the best airtime on the ride but other than that it has pretty much none. There is also a lot of slow turns that do nothing. However it’s a long and smooth ride and I do get some enjoyment out of it.

First Drop Smoothness Duration Disappointing! Airtimes Dead spots

Pretty disappointing just like the other side. There isn’t really much airtime except for the first drop and it has a lot of slow and boring elements but it is still decently fun.

Location Fun Smoothness Dead spots Intensity

Definitely a tame ride but it still has some fun moments like the loop, 2 helixes and s bends. The location is also stunning and the coaster is one of the smoothest I’ve ridden. Overall it’s pretty mediocre and feels like a family coaster despite the inversion but it’s a nice relaxing ride.
