Location Intensity Layout Rattle

I'm a sucker for absurdly intense inverted coasters, and Great Nor'Easter is exactly that. I was blown away by just how much I enjoyed this unique Vekoma SLC. First of all, it HAULS through it's layout. I assume that the track and train tolerances were tightened during the retrack, which helps this ride from bleeding momentum. The first drop and the rollover are the standout moments to me. The first drop provides a great gut punch, while the rollover has some absurdly strong Gs. The rest of the ride is just as solid, with breakneck pacing and consistent intensity. I will say however, Great Nor'Easter is still very rough. Even after the retrack, there are many jolts and bad transitions. But they didn't bother me at all due to the fact that the ride runs with vest restraints.

This was the first major coaster I ever rode, and although my opinion of it has fluctuated, I've come to adore the unhinged airtime. I am SHOCKED that noone has ever fallen out of the train with how minimal the restraints are. The valleys are glass smooth, every turn has fantastic laterals, and the multiple airtime hills throughout the ride provide some of the scariest airtime you'll find on any coaster. Knoebels has taken great care of this 77 year old relic, let's hope it never changes.

WOW. Raging Bull is a powerful hypercoaster. Even though lots of people seem to dislike the twister layout, I thought it was one of the best hyper layouts I have ever experienced. The drop is no joke, and every moment of airtime is very powerful. Raging Bull has a lot of turns that the train hauls through, some allow you to soar high above the park, while others hug the terrain. The twister section at the end of the ride was EXTREMELY entertaining. There is not a dead spot the entire ride. I should add that I got three rides on Raging Bull, and every single one was in the back row. I can't speak for the experience anywhere else in the train, but I imagine it would be just as stellar. My only complaint was the very strong rattle throughout the entire ride, but it didn't bother me too much. B&M hyper trains are nothing if not comfortable. On top of the quality of the ride, the crew that was working Raging Bull on the day I went was one of the best crews I've ever seen at a park. There was great communication among the members of the team, and each crew member was giving it their all. They had trains ready to go before the previous train had even hit the mid course. Bravo guys, thanks for making my experience even better!

Goliath is an incredible B&M hyper! This is my second favorite B&M hyper as of now. For a B&M hyper, the airtime is surprisingly strong, as are the positive Gs! Goliath even has some whippy moments! As with all B&M hypers, the trains are amazing and the ride is smooth outside of the first few valleys. It's ranks above Candymonium and Apollo's Chariot for me, it just has so much raw intensity. I'd compare it to Superman Ride of Steel before I'd compare it to Candymonium honestly.

Pace Intensity Ejectors Rattle Harness

We will never again get a coaster like the original two raptors. These are the best paced coasters on earth. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster hauls through it's layout at an unnatural pace, yanking you through the absurdly strong airtime moments and whippy inversions. It's almost perfect, but the terrible restraints really make a couple moments on this coaster painful. Shockingly, it's also a rather rattly ride, which is odd considering RMCs track record. Overall though, the positives aspects of this coaster far outway the minor complaints I have of it. I can't wait to ride this again someday.

Lap Bar Pace Fun Airtimes

Millennium Force is perfect... in the front row, when it's dark out, and the ride is hauling. Morning rides on Millennium Force don't compare to night rides, but no matter what time of day or row you're in, Millennium Force will still provide a great ride experience. My main complaint with the original giga coaster lie with the two large camelbacks. They just don't give airtime when the ride is running slower. The final airtime hill however, is always incredible. The over-banked turns and low-to-the-ground turns provide a great sense of speed. Overall, Millennium Force is a very important piece of roller coaster history that still hold up today. There's no aspect of the ride that I would describe as "bad", there are just a couple of mid moments sandwiched between the amazing parts. I'm really looking forward to the day that Millennium Force receives a new cable motor.

Airtimes First Drop Comfort

Iron Rattler was a little disappointing, mostly because I didn't find the cliff dive to have airtime as strong as I was expecting. However, every aspect of Iron Rattler is still amazing. The fantastic open air Gerstlauer trains give you an amazing sense of freedom as you fly through the graceful layout. The cliff section, especially the banked turns, felt a little awkward, but it was still fantastic. I need to get back to Fiesta Texas so I can get more rides on Iron Rattler

Comfort Launch Smoothness Capacity

Steel Curtain is one of my favorite coasters, so you can imagine how excited I was to ride it's sister coaster. I only got two rides on Maxx Force due to the hour long line (the capacity is extremely low) but WOW those two rides were amazing. It reminded me a lot of Storm Runner honestly, except with a better launch. Beyond the world's fastest accelerating launch, Maxx Force offers 5 amazing inversions. The Dog Tongue (which is just a weird cobra roll) has amazing hangtime. That is followed by the barrel roll, which has amazing whip and laterals. The roll into the dive loop has whip that is just as strong, if not stronger. The dive itself is killed by the final breaks, just like it is on El Loco. Outside of the layout, Maxx Force has everything I like about Steel Curtain. Steel Curtain and Maxx Force feature the best trains and lapbars on any coaster, in my opinion. Maxx Force is glass smooth and has a great sense of speed, just like it's sister coaster. I don't prefer Maxx Force to Steel Curtain, but I do prefer it to Storm Runner, which is extremely similar.

Airtimes Capacity Fun Discomfort

I LOVE janky old airtime. Magnum has a couple of moments of sustained airtime, and some incredible ejector pops. Surprisingly, it still runs relatively smooth. My only issue with Magnum is the painful, unpadded lap bar. I really hope this classic sticks around.

Airtimes Fun

I do not remember what my ride on this coaster, I'm rating it based on how much I want to reride it.

Airtimes Comfort Fun

I have never and will never care if an amazing ride is short. An elite ride that lasts for 20 seconds ranks the same as an elite ride that lasts for 50 seconds. Twisted Cyclone has an amazing first drop, three great inversions, and very strong airtime. The wave turn in particular is spectacular. It's so impressive to me how amazing this layout is with so little height and length. It's like a little Steel Vengeance.

Airtimes Fun Smoothness

Wild One is a smooth, airtime packed, classic wooden roller coaster. It's simple, but it does everything right. Shout out to Six Flags America's carpenters for keeping this 107 year old coaster elite. I happily rank it within my top ten.

Discomfort

There's something about the way the hills transition from curving up to curving down that just hurts so bad. Easily one of the worst major coasters I've ever ridden. I did ride in the back, so it might be better in the front.

Location Comfort Duration

Fun, scenic little mine train that isn't too painful. I prefer Trailblazer, but this ride is still really good.

Airtimes Discomfort Dead spots

This isn't the worst ride in the world, but it isn't anywhere close to the best. The drop had some wacky airtime in the back and the loop was rather intense. Everything else is too poorly profiled to enjoy.

Airtimes Comfort Duration

WOW! I went in expecting nothing from this ride and I was absolutely blown away! The drops have fantastic airtime, the entire ride is glass smooth, the slow turns are a great opportunity to high-five people in the other train, the hills all have this heavenly flojector, the trains are really well padded actually, and the helix at the end is VERY intense! This is one of the best rides in the park and I prefer it over Magnum and Top Thrill Dragster.

Fun

I was told that this ride was "boring", and I got off wondering how a ride like that could possibly be considered boring by anyone. The first drop had some great airtime, and the twister second half is deceivingly intense. It's also one of the more scenic rides in the park, and I much prefer it to Dragster.

Capacity Comfort Fun

This ride is a staple of the Cedar Point midway, but it's a lot more than a pretty structure. This thing seriously intense. The drop, loop, zero-g-roll, and cobra roll are all very intense and thrilling, the drop off the midcourse is way more fun that it has any right being, the two corkscrews have some serious whip, and the last helix is a great out moment. My only issue with the ride is that the transition out of the first corkscrew and the one into the final brake run are kindof painful. I got 5 rides on this during my two days there, including one front row rain ride that hurt like you couldn't imagine.

Fun

Very underrated floorless. I love the helix and S bend. I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed this, because everyone trashes this thing, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

First Drop Comfort Fun

This ride is crazy! I loved the drop, the first Immelmann and the sideways airtime you get on the zero-g-winder. Y'all need to stop hating on this thing, the vest restraints are a lot better than the original OTSR restraints and make the ride a lot more enjoyable. I think I prefer this to Griffon.

Launch Fun

This is just a bigger Possessed. It is as rough, as intense and as fun. I think I prefer Possessed, just because the straight backwards spike is more thrilling than the twisted one. I don't know why people hate Impulses so much, they're really intense and very fun!

Intensity Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

My main problem with this ride is that it's very boring. It has some awful transitions in the second half, but it takes them way too slow for them to be especially bad. I did actually really like the first half of this ride, it was way more intense than I expected and is fairly smooth.

Oh yay, a credit.

Smooth kiddie coaster with a nice 0 g hill.

Fun Smoothness

Not a bad little ride. It was pretty smooth. This was my first Pinfari and I was expecting the worst, especially with the over the shoulder restraints. But the ride defied all odds and was actually smooth, there are one or two bad transitions that jostle you a little, but over all, this ride is better than your average ride.

Fun Intensity Discomfort

There are a few uncomfortable elements on this ride, but its still a really fun family coaster. The drop is fun, the first turn is WAY too intense for a family coaster, and the helix was nice. I really didn't like the twisty section though, all it really does is slam you repeatedly into the sides of the train.

Fun Harness Intensity

WOW! This boomerang is incredible! This is a very strong looping coaster! The new trains are very comfortable and the track is surprisingly smooth! Also, noone ever talks about how freaking intense these boomerangs are. On that backwards lap, you absolutely SLAM into that loop! I wan't a big fan of Sidewinder at Hersheypark, and this ride completely blew that one out of the water, despite being 7 years older.

Fun

The downward helix was a lot more fun that I expected. I really enjoyed this ride for a kiddie coaster. It does have SBF Visa's signature, weird, janky tire lift that feels like it's trying to tear the train off of the track.

Better than expected, but I had to ride with this guy who vaped on the brake run. Also the car didn't spin, which I found funny
