Airtimes Fun Layout
Solid wooden racing coaster. Its a pretty smooth ride but there are better racers out there but overall good pacing and airtime's here and there. Its a good addition to Kings Island and its equal to its counter part and is a must do with your family.

Airtimes First Drop Fun
One of if not my favorite B&M Hyper. You get great views of the whole park and the drop is insane and feels like your floating the whole time. The airtime's are also great on this time so that means that every foot of track serves a purpose. Lines can get long so try to do your best and get there before the park opens then go straight to Diamondback and ride it before the lines get long. Sometimes you may even get a second chance to ride it again later in the day. Even though I haven't ridden Orion yet with all the research and countless POV's I have been through. I think myself and many others agree that Diamondback is a little better then Orion. But there both Hyper's so they have similar elements except Diamondback has the water element at the end. Overall Diamondback is an amazing Hyper and is a staple and must do at King's Island.

Fun Layout Discomfort
Really fun coaster to ride with the whole entire family. Its a good way to start or end the day and you get a great laugh. The ride can get a little uncomfortable at some points but not so bad that it can't be tolerated. But the worse thing about this ride is the line waits I have waited almost 2 hours one time to ride but I would say if your going with multiple people it's worth it.

Airtimes Theming Fun Reliability
Overall solid wild mouse coaster. Really good theming around dc with mist, trains, crates, sign, etc... Lines can get pretty long and dispatches could also be slow at times. But overall its a smooth ride and a great coaster to do with the whole family.
-
Inversions Fun Layout
Amazing B&M Invert one of my favorites that I have ridden. With a great 7 inversions this ride never gets boring and every foot of track is well placed. It is starting to show its age with a tad bit of rattle but its not bad enough to put it as a con. Dispatches move pretty quick so you should be able to get on quickly and maybe even have chances at re rides. The highlight is definitely the loop over the chainlift and is satisfying to look at. Banshee is an amazing B&M Invert and is a must do when you visit Kings Island.

Fun Layout
It was one of if not my favorite Vekoma flying coaster when it was around. Definitely great transitions and obviously feels like your flying the whole entire time. Was sad to see it go but Orion definitely lived up to its potential and was a good trade off.
-
Fun Too short
Never thought there was a kiddie invert but here we are. Overall slow pace fun layout for new coaster riders. The lines do get way to long but if you have the time and need to knock it off your coaster list I would suggest going for it.
-
Theming Fun Discomfort
Adventure Express although very uncomfortable at times is a very solid ride. Lots of good turns, tunnels, and hints of airtime here and there. The best part is hands down the end chain-lift but it is the most disappointing thing ever though since you think its going to be this huge crazy track section with all this build up but no the ride end right at the chain-lift. But once again this ride is a fun family ride and is a ride you should try when you visit Kings Island.
-
First Drop Fun Duration Discomfort Airtimes
In simple terms it Magnum's brother. Very similar layout with a good but not steep drop and a solid duration. There is one big difference though Steel Force has almost no airtime which is kind of disappointing. One of if not the best part of the ride is the helix section although at the end of the section it does get a bit jerky. You also get a really good view up the chain lift with the view of the whole park. But jut in general a very good coaster and a must do coaster when you visit Dorney Park.
-
Inversions Pace Smoothness
One of the best B&M Inverted Coaster to date. The inversions are amazing and definitely get you a couple inches off the seat. The pace is amazing and every foot of track serves a great purpose. Overall a very smooth ride might get one or two head bangs due to the over the shoulder restraints but overall a smooth coaster. Talon is a master piece and is without a doubt a must do and is a staple with Hydra and is a must do coaster when you visit Dorney Park.
-
Airtimes Fun Discomfort Pointless Layout
Why are there so many of these Maurer wild mouse. What makes these the worst is that every single one is the same layout. Its honestly just filling room at Dorney when I feel like there can be something way better there. Overall its something to knock off your coaster list but not the best Maurer wild mouse.
-
Fun Rattle Pointless
Its a Zamperla kiddie. Nothing special but why not do it for the credit even though its a bit rough.
-
First Drop Layout Rattle Too short Pointless
I feel like this ride is honestly just taking up space at this point just so they could have another coaster on there list. Its not the worst ride ever but its just shaky not unbearable but shaky. But the worst part has to be the duration. Its such a short ride. I wouldn't say its a must do because Steel Force is next door but if you have the time I would say "Do it for the experience".
-
Launch Fun Intensity Headbanging
Very solid Intamin Impulse. The spikes are decent and give you some pretty good hang time at some points Overall there is a decent amount of headbanging but the intensity of the ride make up for it. I would rather ride Wicked Twister over at CP but still isn't a ride you should skip over when you visit Dorney Park.
-
Inversions Smoothness Layout
Such an underrated B&M Floor less. Amazing layout including 7 inversions and the jojo roll right out off the gate really gets you out of your seat. The first drop I do feel like could be better but the amazing layout pays off for it. Overall really smooth ride even with its slight age. Its definitely one of if not the best coaster at Dorney and is a must do with 3 of your friends or family when you visit Dorney Park.
-
Inversions Fun Smoothness Dead spots
Honestly great B&M flying coaster. The highlight is definitely the pretzel loop which is kind of unfortunate because I feel like they could have did a little more. But overall Superman is very smooth and very fun to ride with your friends. And is most definitely a must do coaster when you visit SixFlags Great Adventure.
-
First Drop Theming Fun Too short
Decent indoor family coaster the theming is great except during the ride its almost as if they ran out of money so all they put was a 100 dollar eye glowing skull from Walmart. The ride has a solid layout but it is so wicked short. Its definitely a ride that you should ride with the family but it would be better if it was longer and had more on ride theming.
-
Launch Fun Intensity Rattle Harness
Overall very solid ride for tallest coaster in the world. It has shown its age over the years because of how shaky it is but the speed and height 100% pays off for it. The harness does cut off some of the freedom but its not to bad. The best part is definitely when you get to the top because of the amazing view. It is unfortunate with the little airtime you get which is kind of sad because you would think you would get some airtime on the hill at the end but none can really be found. I would rather ride Top Thrill Dragster but overall Kingda Ka is definitely a coaster wonder of the earth is 100 percent a must do when you visit SixFlags Great Adventure.

Location Discomfort Tear it down! Lap Bar
PAIN. PAIN. PAIN that's all this ride is. The start of the ride is solid but then as soon as you hit that mid-way break run that's were the fun really starts. As you head down the hill after the break run there is the most painful turn in the world which will leave you questioning why you even got on. The lap-bars are also horrendous especially if your over 6 feet tall it feels like spikes are getting shoved into your legs. The lake run is basically the best part of the ride. Runaway mine train is good to ride once or twice for the experience but is most definitely not a must especially since you could visit its amazing neighbor Bizzaro.
-
Inversions Fun Intensity Too short Pointless
ANOTHER S&S 4D I honestly don't have to much hate against this one. But there just pointless at this point because of the duration of the coaster. I would most definitely rather ride a long X2 type coaster then a short Joker coaster. I wouldn't say its a must do but if you have the chance take a spin on Joker.
-
First Drop Lap Bar Smoothness Airtimes
Great B&M Hyper Coaster. Nitro's view is amazing as you get a great view of the park. The drop is also great because of the Lap Bar which gives you a good amount of freedom. The only thing that does disappoint me is that there is not as much airtime as expected in a B&M Hyper. But overall Nitro is smooth and they have solid dispatch time. And is definitely a must do coaster when you visit SixFlags Great Adventure.

First Drop Layout Ejectors Inversions Discomfort
Well did Intamin do an amazing job constructing El-Toro its top 5 for a reason and hands down the best wooden coaster on the planet. The first drop really gets you out of your seat and makes your heart drop. Then after that it's all airtime and turns. This could be a great thing if you don't like inversions and love airtime but I do feel like this ride could be a 6 star if it just had a couple of inversions. This ride could be a little uncomfortable at some times but the layout pays up for it. Overall this ride is a masterpiece and 100 percent deserves to be top 5 and is also a MUST DO coaster when you visit SixFlags Great Adventure.
-
Theming Fun Discomfort
Probably my favorite wild mouse to date because of the great theming. The pres-show is pretty decorated and the ride itself has a-lot to look at. The layout itself is identical to all of the wild mouse rides but with a twist in the theming. The trains also look great and its definitely a coaster you have to do with the whole family when you visit Great Adventure.
-
Theming Inversions Location
Amazing B&M floor less. It starts off with an amazing chain lift as you get a great view of the Safari. Then I love the first drop through the logo's straight into a loop. Then a dive with fire when its not winter and effects are on. Then the next highlight is the great banana roll that goes right over the entrance. After the banana roll you go into the mid break run then into the part that's sort of like free roam. There's building cutouts you go around as well as 2 corkscrews that go over this spike/saw thing. This ride has amazing theming and you will never get bored at the stuff to look at. Even though Bizzaro is a little off to the side of the park it is most definitely a must do coaster at SixFlags Great Adventure.
-
Inversions Pace Smoothness Too short Theming
Overall solid B&M Inverted coaster. I do feel like they can do way better with the theming though, especially since its themed after Batman which is a great favorite. Its on the smoother side and has a decent but weak layout. But prepare to wait a while because the dispatch time is slow but not to bad. But at the end of the day Batman The Ride is a must do at SixFlags Great Adventure.
-
Layout Duration Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!
I'm just upset with B&M here this is probably one of the worst feeling rides ever. Its super hyped up because its a stand up coaster. But then as you get on you can tell it will be uncomfortable. The drop is decent but then as soon as you hit the first inversion which is a loop your already starting your pain train. This ride feels like an eternity. I feel like if it was just a sit down it could have had much more potential because the layouts great. But the worse thing about this coaster is when you get off it feels like your legs are gonna blow. Green Lantern is definitely not a must do coaster when you visit SixFlags Great Adventure.
-
Airtimes First Drop Layout
Well did SixFlags get lucky and did RMC out do themselves. This roller coaster is nothing but a master piece. The airtime you get is insane and the almost vertical drop give's you a great feeling as well. The inversions are also great especially the slow corkscrew at the end. I'm blessed to ride this ride at least 2 times every visit. It feels almost as if your getting chased by a storm. There are also head cutter moment which really get your blood pumping. This is 100% a must do when you visit the great SixFlags New England.
-
Airtimes Fun Too short
Fun little coaster that will please the kids. Most intense and best ride in the kiddie land.

First Drop Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!
I have nothing really much to say except i'm upset with Vekoma and with SixFlags. This ride looks extremely fun on the outside but as soon as you ride it you will not want to go on it again. I think everyone should ride it once for the experience but overall its a very painful roller coaster. I feel like they could have built a way better coaster here or even a different ride. I wish they would replace it with a ride like battle for metropolis over at Sixflags Great Adventure. I honestly think they should have kept the name Mind Eraser because it definitely lived up to that name.

Airtimes First Drop Fun
Nothing really bad about this coaster. On the smoother side for Wooden roller coaster's which is a surprise for this one due to how old it is. There is also airtime here and there which gives this ride a little intensity. Over its a great roller coaster to ride with your family and a great classic.
