Coaster reviews

First Drop Intensity Rattle

X2 is easily one of the most intense roller coasters at any amusement park I’ve ever ridden. That first drop was nuts and the fact that this is a 4th dimensional coaster where the seats rotate, it just makes the experience even crazier. My favorite part of the whole experience is the final raven dive with the fire effects because of how crazy that moment is. Overall, X2 is one of the most intense roller coasters at any amusement park I’ve ever ridden with its crazy first drop, great intensity, and some cool fire effects.

Airtimes Pace Ejectors

This dueling hybrid coaster just blew my expectations away. I was surprised by how good Twisted Colossus actually turned out to be. The 80 degree drops are crazy insane & I got jolted by the strong ejector forces on every single hill. The inversions were also really snappy. The G-forces (especially the negative's) are super powerful and the layout is actually really cool (in my opinion). Overall, Twisted Colossus is one of the best hybrid coasters ever built and it is one of my favorite coasters I've ever ridden.

Airtimes Pace Ejectors

Holy moly! I was blown away. This is got to be the best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. Wildcat’s Revenge packs an insane drop, powerful & violent airtime forces galore, snappy inversions, snappy transitions, excellent pacing, & a great finale. In my opinion, this scream machine blew my expectations away & it’s now my #1 roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. And it just gets even better after each re-ride. Overall, Wildcat’s Revenge delivered a truly wild experience and it is my favorite roller coaster I’ve ever ridden!

First Drop Location Fun Dead spots

I only got 1 ride on this wooden coaster. My experience on it was a bit underwhelming because I was expecting some strong pops of ejector airtime forces on that first drop because I sat towards the very back row. But the drop did deliver some decent floater airtime forces. However, the twists & turns delivered insane lateral forces as my body was sliding from side to side. The other hills delivered nothing but weak pops of floater airtime forces like I was flying very slowly out of my seat. What makes up for this ride experience however is the location since this wooden roller coaster is actually located on a beach & it adds on to the experience. Overall, Great White delivers an enjoyable ride experience, despite some dead spots and the weak floater airtime forces.

Airtimes Pace Fun Capacity

Slime Streak is really intense for a kid’s coaster with it’s open lap bars, which they allow room for great pops of ejector airtime & great lateral forces. Despite its size and capacity, I really enjoyed this ride! Every hill gives strong pops of ejector airtime and the turns pull great lateral forces! I also really like the drop, especially in the back row since it also gives some sustained ejector airtime! The back row is the way to go on this ride!

Airtimes Pace Intensity

I only got 1 ride on this during my 2021 Ohio Trip and I got to admit that Rougarou is a pretty solid floorless coaster. Nothing too special, but the inversions are fun, the pacing is pretty good, and the 2nd half features some pretty intense moments. The ride also features a couple of airtime moments, like the drop-out of the mid-course block brake. Overall, Rougarou is one of the better floorless roller coasters out there and it’s a great fit for Cedar Point.

Airtimes Comfort Fun Dead spots

Nitro is one of the better hyper coasters out there in my opinion. While the airtime on some of the hills may be weak, the large camelbacks in the first half of the experience give some nice and sustained floater airtime. I also really like the helix before the midcourse block section, because you gray out as the train is navigating through the upward spiral helix. That moment also pulls strong positive G-forces. While it may not be the best hyper coaster, Nitro is a really enjoyable ride and is one of the most popular rides at Six Flags Great Adventure.

Inversions Pace Intensity

It’s definitely one of the better inverted coasters out there. It’s got a really nice cool layout with 4 forceful inversions, really intense turns, and a couple of airtime moments. My favorite part of the ride is probably the Immelmann loop, because the valley into the inversion pulls really strong positive G’s. You also get some nice hangtime at the top, but on the descent, the hangtime becomes weak floater airtime. The turn afterwards also pulls strong positive G’s.

Inversions Pace Intensity Rattle

In my opinion, The Great Nor’easter suspended looping coaster delivers a great experience with a great amount of intensity, snappy inversions, and great pacing. Despite the slight rattle the ride may have, it’s actually surprisingly pretty smooth, especially in the back row. Overall, The Great Nor’easter is one of my favorite coasters in NJ, and is by far the best attraction at Morey’s Piers.

Inversions Fun Intensity Dead spots

Medusa is also one of the better looking ever built with its cool layout, some snappy inversions, really intense moments, really good pacing, and some great add-on effects. While it could add some airtime hills, I still enjoyed Medusa, nonetheless. My favorite part of this ride is probably the zero-G roll since it delivers some great hangtime and pulls great whip! On the descent, the hangtime transforms into weak, but sustained floater airtime. I also really like the cobra roll because it actually feels pretty snappy as well. Overall, Medusa is a really good floorless coaster and it is one of the best coasters at Great Adventure.

Airtimes Lap Bar Fun

Steel Force is one heck of an airtime machine! All the hills actually deliver strong negative G-forces, thanks to the lap bars which allow plenty of room for airtime. And the helix is really intense too and also delivers some laterals! My favorite part of this ride experience is easily the finale with the three mini camelbacks because those three hills actually deliver violent ejector airtime and the airtime is also snappy! If you want to feel the most ejector airtime, I would highly recommend sitting in the back seat! Overall, Steel Force is one heck of an airtime machine and is one of my favorite rides at Dorney Park!

First Drop Inversions Hangtime Rattle Dead spots

Despite the bad rattle the ride may have and some of the dead spots such as the finale with the mini twister section, Hydra still delivers a fun ride experience nonetheless! The inversions really deliver great hangtime, especially the heart-line roll! And the drop delivers a nice pop of ejector airtime if you sit in the back row of the train! Overaall, Hydra is a pretty unique floorless coaster with its unique layout, and fun inversions, and a cool-looking drop!

Fun Intensity Ejectors Harness

Galeforce delivers an incredible ride experience with some powerful launches, strong positive & negative G-forces through the valleys, snappy transitions from element to element, and great pacing throughout its compact layout. The kick-flip is easily the best element since it’s the snappiest element on the ride and it delivers violent ejector airtime on the descent. Despite Galeforce having vest restraints, those restraints still gave me enough room to feel those powerful negative G-forces. Overall, I absolutely had a blast riding this thing and it truly packs a punch!

Airtimes Pace Intensity Rattle

This ride has a really intense drop and delivers great pacing, insane lateral forces, some strong pops of ejector airtime, and it pulls some strong G-forces through the twists & turns.

Intensity Headbanging Harness

Green Lantern is one of the better stand-up roller coasters out there with a cool layout with some snappy inversions, pretty good pacing, and really intense moments. Sure, it’s far from the best roller coaster in New Jersey because of its awkward location and the bulky over-the-shoulder restraints, but the intensity of the ride does make up for it. Overall, Green Lantern is an enjoyable ride experience with some snappy inversions, pretty good pacing, and really intense moments.

Airtimes Masterpiece Intensity

On my Ohio trip, I was able to get a total of 6 rides with about 3 rides being in the back row, 2 rides in Row 11, and 1 ride in Row 10. Let me say this now, Steel Vengeance is a wild airtime machine! Every hill delivers super strong ejector airtime, the inversions are really snappy and so much fun, the drop is insane, and the pacing is great! This thing is also mental especially at night because it absolutely hauls and just takes the experience to a whole new level! In the morning, however, it runs a bit slow but it warms up later in the day. During all of my 4 visits to Cedar Point on my Ohio trip, I got 3-afternoon rides, 2-night rides, and one 1-morning ride. The trims weren’t hitting that hard on any of my 6 rides, which is good because the train starts to pick up speed again on the drop-off the mid-course and doesn’t slow down until it hits the final brakes. My favorite part of the ride is probably the outward-banked hill, because of how sustained the airtime is. I also really like the first drop because you just get yanked over that drop and the finale with a set of bunny hills delivering violent ejector airtime. I really like that twisted snake dive as well, because it’s such a unique inversion and it gives some great hangtime and insane whip entering and exiting the inversion. That element is my favorite inversion on the ride and one of my favorite inversions on a coaster. No matter the time of day, Steel Vengeance will always have great pacing. This thing is a true masterpiece with its cool layout, an insane drop, powerful ejector airtime on every hill, snappy inversions, and a great finale! Overall, Steel Vengeance is a world-class roller coaster and it’s by far the best I’ve ever ridden!

First Drop Pace Intensity Harness

This coaster is incredible! It’s really intense, there is ejector airtime in the first half and insane hangtime. The inversions are also snappy and the drop in the back row is absolutely wicked! Easily my favorite part of the ride. The second half of the ride is pretty weak though because those final hills don't deliver much airtime. But that's just because of the harness restraints which don't allow much room for airtime. Other than that, Jersey Devil Coaster slaps! It is overall a nearly perfect fit for Six Flags Great Adventure and truly packs a punch!

Launch Intensity Too short Reliability

This scream machine is out-of-control! The launch is insanely powerful as it pulls really strong positive G-forces. The camelback hill before the brakes also delivers some decent floater airtime if you sit in the front row. While this ride may have a rattle, it actually adds to the experience. Even though the ride experience only lasts for 28 seconds, despite the rattle it may have, Kingda Ka is one of my favorite roller coasters I’ve ever ridden!

Location Fun Duration

So much fun with great scenery, stunning views & some fun drops along the way down those mountains.

Theming Fun Capacity Disappointing!

Laff Trakk is a pretty tame spinning coaster in my opinion. Depending on the number of riders in each car, the number of times that the car spins during the ride experience do vary. However, the theming does make up for it and makes the experience quite enjoyable! While it may not be the best ride at Hersheypark, Laff Trakk is a must-ride attraction for families!

First Drop Fun Disappointing! Pointless Dead spots

Skull Mountain is a decent indoor family coaster. Nothing too special, but it offers a cool experience of being in the dark. The drop gives some decent floater airtime if you sit in the back row. Overall, it is an okay indoor coaster for what it is and it packs some nice theming.

Inversions Intensity Dead spots

Great Bear is one of the unique looking inverted coasters that has a great setting with a unique layout. Great Bear also delivers some snappy transitions through 4 inversions, strong positive G-forces through the valleys, a glossy smooth ride experience, and the ride interacts with another ride, SooperDooperLooper: the first looping coaster on the east coast. My part of Great Bear is probably the corkscrew because that inversion and the zero-G roll actually pull some ridiculous whip! I also really like the loud roar from the train as it navigates through its layout and I absolutely love hearing it from an off-ride perspective. Overall, Great Bear is one of the most unique inverted coasters that delivers some snappy transitions through 4 inversions, strong positive G-forces through the valleys, a glossy smooth ride experience, and it has a great setting with a unique layout. It is one of the loudest and smoothest roller coasters I’ve ever ridden!

First Drop Intensity Ejectors

Skyrush is easily one of the most intense roller coasters in the world. The ride is packed with a cable lift hill that brings you up incredibly fast, 5 zero-G airtime hills, and insane low to the ground turns. This thing gives some of the strongest ejector airtime on a coaster and is also considered one of the best in the world! This is by far one of the most intense and greatest roller coasters ever built. The first drop is absolutely mental because it feels like the train is going to derail every time! It’s also my favorite drop I’ve ever experienced! Every hill also gives powerful ejector airtime, especially that first camelback! You just get sustained for a few seconds as you go flying out of your seat! I also really like the back-to-back Stengel Dives because they both give some insane laterals and the first one gives some great sideways airtime and the low-to-the-ground turns pull insane positive G’s! My favorite parts of Skyrush are easily the drop and the first camelback because they give the strongest airtime on the ride! This thing hauls too, especially at night! It is one mad powerhouse and is overall one of my favorite coasters I’ve ridden. It's definitely the most intense hyper coaster I've ever ridden!

Location Intensity Duration Rattle Dead spots

I only got 1 ride on this during my 2021 Ohio Trip and I got to admit, This thing is nuts! Many of the turns pull insane positives and lateral G-forces. There are also a few great moments of ejector airtime, two lift hills that give some nice views of Kings Island, and four tunnels. My favorite parts of the ride are those turns through the tunnels because of how intense the forces are. I also really like the first drop because it gives great ejector air! I like the setting as well because the layout goes through a forest. Overall, The Beast is the longest roller coaster I've ridden and one of my favorites at Kings Island.

First Drop Inversions Intensity Rattle

This ride is super intense. There are two great moments of ejector air; the drop and the bunny hill, Almost every valley pulls insane positive G's, the cobra roll and the corkscrews are super snappy and pull great whip, and the pacing on this ride is really good. Fahrenheit is one underrated coaster with a great beyond-vertical drop, snappy transitions, and many intense moments along with a couple of great moments of strong ejector air! Overall, It is one of the most underrated Eurofighter coasters out there, and one of my favorite roller coasters at Hersheypark!

Inversions Launch Intensity Too short

Despite that the ride is pretty short, it packs a punch! This thing slaps and it is very underrated. The launch is super powerful as it pulls insane positive G's and the inversions are pretty snappy. My favorite parts of the ride are the powerful launch because it pulls insane G's, and the flying snake dive because it's a really unique inversion and it pulls great whip! Overall, Storm Runner is one of the most intense roller coasters I've ever ridden and one of my favorites at Hersheypark!

Pace Fun Ejectors

This thing just hauls throughout its layout! Every single hill gives violent ejector air, the turns pull some great forces, and the setting is really cool! My favorite part of the ride is all of the airtime hills because you just get yanked over those hills! Overall, Mystic Timbers is one of the best-paced wooden coasters and one of the best roller coasters I've ever ridden. Despite the stats, it packs a punch!

Airtimes First Drop Fun

Diamondback is by far one of the best hyper coasters out there with a fantastic drop, beautiful setting, and strong airtime, and some intense moments! During my first visit to Kings Island in September 2021, I was able to get two rides in total with one being in row 13 and my second ride in the front row. I personally prefer the front row because you feel the air and the wind more than towards the back. This thing is an airtime machine! Every single hill gives super strong and sustained floater air, especially the first camelback which actually gives 5-second sustained flojector airtime and also feels similar to Candymonium’s first camelback. The helixes on this ride were also really intense, as both of them made me gray out! I also grayed out on the hammerhead turn as the train was entering and exiting the element. That turn also felt a bit snappy towards the back row! My favorite part of the ride is probably the first drop because of how good the airtime is on that drop! If you sit towards the front of the train, you go flying as you get the strong sustained floater air but if you sit in the back of the train, you just get ejected out of your seat as you just go flying! I also really like the splashdown effect towards the end of the ride, which adds some great scenery to the ride and also adds on to the experience in general. Overall, Diamondback is one airtime machine and by far one of the best hyper coasters out there with a fantastic drop, beautiful setting, and strong airtime, and some intense moments!

Airtimes Intensity Ejectors

Lightning Rod is one of the greatest roller coasters ever built. This thing is non-stop action. It’s got the strong ejector airtime, intensity, and great pacing. My favorite part of the ride is the quad-down finale since I got ejected and I went flying out of my seat as I got whipped all around as the ride was zig-zagging all the way through! It is truly one of the best finales on any coaster! Overall, Lightning Rod is by far the best wooden coaster I’ve ridden as of 2021.

Airtimes Launch Intensity

Maverick is one helluva ride! This is a great example of when size doesn't always matter for a roller coaster to be great. With an insane drop, insane laterals and positive G's, snappy transitions, powerful ejector air, a super powerful launch through a tunnel, and great pacing, this thing is a true masterpiece! I honestly don't know what else to say about this ride because of how good it is! Overall, Maverick is a world-class attraction that packs everything you can find on a coaster and it is one of the best in the world!
