Airtimes Location Masterpiece
Giant Dipper is an underrated masterpiece, considering its age, location, and airtimes. It has an AMAZING pre-lift section in the dark. Its hills give some Magnum XL-200 magic seat ejector airtime in the back seat!!! Also the back seat just tosses you so much its insane! It also offers good laterals as well, to top it off. Wow

Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure - Universal Islands of Adventure
NorCal C. 6 months agoTheming Nice surprise! Launch Intensity Reliability
While this coaster is fun, it's a little overrated. The fun launches, the surprise elements, and the immersive theming blew my initial expectations out of the water, but still, the coaster itself is tame, so I would not really consider it a world-class coaster. However, the real big issue is reliability. I recommend heading straight to this ride once the park opens in order to avoid both the long lines and the potential downtime.

Airtimes First Drop Fun Disappointing!
The airtimes are ok, they all feel the same, although granted I rode towards the front. Inversions were forgettable. Drop is best element. Looking forward to eventually coming back to Cedar Point to get a back row ride.

Airtimes Nice surprise!
This is the craziest wild mouse I've been on. The airtime and laterals are pretty good. The only downside is that there is one transition that is so jarring, you snap out of reality for a moment.
-
Launch Fun Intensity Reliability
This coaster is too mild, although it does have a good launch. It also was down half the time during my visit.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Dead spots Intensity
Very immersive. The drop itself was forceless, but it was still awesome because of the the setting/theming. Though except for the drop, it feels like a dark ride.

First Drop Pace Ejectors Capacity
RailBlazer is an incredible twisted journey of track. The pre-drop and first drop are executed to perfection, as it provides an insane amount of whip and ejector forces. The following raven dive is an improvement over a regular dive loop, as it gives greater airtime and whip sensations. The highlight of the ride is definitely the following s-hill - what a demonic element! The greatest combination of ejector and lateral forces I have ever felt on a coaster. Following the s-hill is a very cool transition with positive forces that then leads into a airtime moment. Now this airtime moment is a little overrated, but it still fits well into the ride layout. Then comes a sequence of satisfying inversions, a whippy overbank, and a pop-up airtime moment into the brakes, which overall felt like a great way to conclude the ride after being so airtime-focused. Now it does seem a bit short, but for the footprint the ride is working with it felt like the right expected length to me, so I wouldn't consider length to be a con. However, capacity is definitely an issue on this ride, causing long lines, and it's unfortunate it can't really be fixed. Fortunately, for us enthusiasts there is a single-rider line that can skip the standby! Single rider shares the same queue as the fastpass queue; depending on ride ops, if you are up next, you will have to wait until there is an empty seat available, or you will just get treated as a fastpass rider and assigned a seat immediately.

First Drop Inversions Ejectors Launch Reliability
Time Traveler consists of incredible airtime moments on the first drop and the hill after the vertical loop, and the spinning enhances the inversions to make them above-average. The launches, despite being noticeably slow, get the job done, as the main focus of the coaster is the spinning. Also, on my visit Time traveler showed poor reliability by being down half the time.

Airtimes Fun Smoothness
Awesome family coaster with airtime... imagine if Big Thunder at the Disney parks was like this. Also shout out to the ops who were making sure that it duels every time!
-
Theming Inversions Nice surprise!
This coaster is very underrated. The corkscrews give satisfying laterals and the loops are surprisingly very forceful. No discomfort at all, except a minor jolt that happens when transitioning into corkscrew.
-
This large-scale kiddie coaster would be the next step up from the park's small-scale kiddie coaster, Lucy's Crabbie Cabbies. However, Woodstock Express does not make the best use of its scale, as the elements are very drawn out. If you're a credit ***** who just needs this credit, be warned that the small train cars will be uncomfortable on your legs, due to lack of leg space.

Theming Rattle Dead spots
While the Matterhorn is cool to observe from offride, the ride itself is not that interesting.
-
Inversions Launch Pace Discomfort
First wing coaster I ever rode did not disappoint, providing my favorite inversion ever - the in-line twist into the brakes. That twist has surprising laterals, probably because of the train design. The launch and pacing are also good. My main complaint though is that I almost fully greyed out in the first loop, it really caught me off guard.
-
Theming Nice surprise!
Well-themed dark ride with a shocking three consecutive dips! I thought there would only be one dip at the end, so I was definitely caught off-guard. Also shocking is that the coaster goes through the dark ride at a really quick pace, so it's hard to notice all the theming details.
-
In the back row it has pretty good laterals.
-
Location
The best kiddie coaster I have been on. You get so close to the trees that you could touch them (I would not recommend it though!)
-
Launch Fun Too short Theming
A fun launch coaster at Universal Hollywood that is just way too short. Also, the on-ride cutouts and the ending are awful; the only good theming is before the launch, but that part is more like a dark ride than a coaster...
-
Nice surprise! Fun Duration Dead spots
More intense than I was expecting, but it does have a few dead spots. I did not feel any major rattle when riding.
-
This is the park's small-scale kiddie coaster. Surprisingly, this kiddie coaster actually has a custom layout.
-
Airtimes Discomfort
Rode this at its currently operating park (Scandia Fun Center Sacramento). It is named Crazy Dane coaster. This wild mouse is pretty janky and a little discomforting, but it does have stronger airtime than most wild mouse coasters.
-
Fun Layout Dead spots
First half is filled with fun memorable moments, while second half is full of only dead spots. Still, it's impressive how the model manages to cram this whole layout in a small space.
-
Fun Smoothness Headbanging Too short Pointless
This coaster does little. All it really has to offer is a vertical loop and a corkscrew . Despite having both a simple layout and minor headbanging, it was still pretty smooth and fun to ride. A great first looping coaster for younger audiences.
-
Duration Dead spots
It's fine, I guess. Only uncomfortable moments were the first two valleys.

-
Fun Rattle Tear it down! Pointless
Very mild and forceless
-
Inversions Smoothness
Pretty good floorless coaster with fun inversions
-
Airtimes Discomfort Lap Bar
Airtime is so violent, but the lap bar is so crappy, that it hurts. Maybe it should get new trains where the lap bar doesn't staple your thighs...
-
Nice surprise! Location Smoothness
This mine train has a great setting and the ride itself has some fun lateral forces. Great night rides as well
-
Inversions Location Smoothness Too short
This B&M has a remarkable setting, which really is what makes this ride better than most B&M looping coasters. Ride in the back for the airtime on the drop.
