Once the world's most expensive roller coasters, and the money shows. The environment feels quite authentic, and the ride itself was good enough to once be my favorite coaster.

A great floorless coaster with some awesome inversions and a cool tunnel. The zero-g roll and dive loop personally stand out to me, as the dive loop gives great forces and the zero-g roll gives awesome floater. There’s definitely some headbanging, as Kraken is a bumpy ride, but I know you can handle it.

One of the most intense coasters in Florida, and it’s got a nice long, incredibly well paced ride to boot. You’ve got the absurd batwing, two great vertical loops, a good zero-g roll, and great positives everywhere. Couple that with some decent theming and those awesome trench dives, that’s a recipe for one of Busch Garden’s best coasters.

Cool, with nice theming and a surprising boost out of the station. It’s not super intense though, and it’s discomfort leads to Seven Dwarves being onl...

Cool, with nice theming and a surprising boost out of the station. It’s not super intense though, and it’s discomfort leads to Seven Dwarves being only the second best mine train at Magic Kingdom.

Disney World’s only looper, with a great launch, cool inversions, and music blasting in your ears. The theming is pretty hit or miss, and there’s quite a lot of filler track.

A good, albeit short layout following a quadruple swing launch, Ice breaker is a well-rounded family thriller. Unfortunately, the trains are super cramped, leading to slow dispatches and constant stacking. New captain coaster update is crap, change it back.

A really fun ride that flies through it's environment and has some solid near-misses and theming. Unfortunately, you combine Seaworld dispatch times with a complex restraint at the front of the park and the wait times get quite high. On the flip side, the queue is one of the best with a literal aquarium in it and you get the pretzel loop.

The opening dark ride section is cool, the middle section is rough filler, and the finale is spectacular. Do beware the stupidly catchy station s...

The opening dark ride section is cool, the middle section is rough filler, and the finale is spectacular. Do beware the stupidly catchy station song.

The tallest and fastest I’ve ever ridden and B&M’s peak, Fury has no right to be so smooth at 95 miles per hour. Front row *might* be the best ride on any coaster. Applicable pros that were not listed: Airtimes, Capacity, Comfort, Duration, Fun, Harness, Intensity, Lap bar, Layout, Smoothness,

One heck of a thrashing sensation, this thing is a real masterpiece. The ejector is crazy, and the first drop is absurd with ejector the whole way down. The death roll is probably better than the mosasaurus roll, and every element hits well. It does benefit from a warm-up, so wait until the afternoon or evening if you really want to experience the madness. Unfortunately, they often have only one train, so wait times are pretty bad.

The world's worst B&M still open, and it's honestly not horrible. Sure, much of the layout is filler, and the standup gimmick is a harm, but the inver...

The world's worst B&M still open, and it's honestly not horrible. Sure, much of the layout is filler, and the standup gimmick is a harm, but the inversions are cool and it isn't too uncomfortable to be unenjoyable.

I had zero expectations, and I was still massively disappointed. Woodstock express was much better, and that's practically a kiddie coaster. The first drop was okay, and the rest was entirely useless. There was about zero airtime, not much in the way of laterals or positives, and the ride was very rough. Please Cedar Fair, RMC this pointless piece of revolting rubbish.

Feels like a B&M looper thanks to Tennessee Tornado having massive inversions, like a B&M. The first drop plunges through a cool tunnel before flying into the vertical loop, which is cool. Unfortunately, the ride is obnoxiously short, but I guess that's okay if you want to hop back in line, it's a walk on from my limited experience at the park.

One of the most forgettable coasters I have ever ridden. It does exist, but if you want to ride a roller coaster at an animal park in Tampa, go next door to Busch.

Good fun, and a good shuttle coaster. Georgia Surfer is very good for how small it is, and I would’ve rather gotten it than any Skyrocket II. You do have bad capacity, but that’s a given with shuttle coasters.

Another great 90’s B&M Looper, this thing’s got everything you want in one. In particular, Kumba is absurdly intense, only beaten out in forcefulness ...

Another great 90’s B&M Looper, this thing’s got everything you want in one. In particular, Kumba is absurdly intense, only beaten out in forcefulness by Hulk, another B&M sitdown looper. Kumba is a little bit rough, but who cares?

Great mountainside setting like the rest of Dollywood, and Lighting Rod makes full use of that in the layout. I never rode it with the launch, but it’s still great without. Despite it technically having more prime ride time than Iron Gwazi and ArieForce 1, Lightning Rod somehow manages to feel *much* shorter than any other RMC I’ve done, save Twisted Cyclone.

A solid flyer, with that great pretzel loop and the rest of the elements are fun. However, one train isn’t a lot when the ride is down almost all day ...

A solid flyer, with that great pretzel loop and the rest of the elements are fun. However, one train isn’t a lot when the ride is down almost all day (atypical for a B&M).

My hundredth coaster, and not a bad one at that. It isn’t very intense, but it is a family coaster. I will note that there is a rattle, especially towards the back. It’s nothing absurd, but it is concerning for B&M’s future. Phoenix Rising is pretty fun, and has some good overbanks and a fun helix. I will say that Phoenix Rising has AWFUL capacity for a B&M due to only having one train at all times, but it’s not the worst and Phoenix Rising isn’t as bad as people say.
