Coaster reviews

Location Intensity Smoothness Too short

Rougarou is a fantastic B&M Floorless Coaster. I love all the Floorless coasters I’ve ridden and Rougarou is at the bottom of that list but it’s still awesome. The ride is very intense throughout and sits in an awesome location with the first drop and Loop Over Water. The inclined loop is one of my favorite elements and the twister section at the end is pretty fun. The only reason Rougarou doesn’t get higher is because the layout is quite short with only 4 Inversions.

Inversions Intensity Layout

Raptor is a crazy intense B&M Invert. It reminds me a lot of a expanded and far superior Batman clone. It’s tight compact layout is so intense. The loop, cobra roll, and helix make your feet tingle and you feel the Gs. This is my 4th favorite Invert simply because Banshee, Montu, and Alpengeist are just so good. No real complaints about Raptor.

Airtimes Location Smoothness

The OG Hyper. This massive arrow is very good. There are some great airtime moments throughout and it’s layout right up against Lake Eerie is really awesome. The coaster is surprisingly smooth for an older Arrow as well. The only reason I don’t rank it higher is because of the lackluster layout but you can’t expect too much from considering it was the first of its kind.

Location Fun Layout

This Arrow Suspended Coaster seemed very mediocre. The ride is pretty fun with it’s nice turns over the water but it didn’t really do too much else. It wasn’t intense, it didn’t do antpyhting special, just a few turns and that was it.

Location Rattle Headbanging Layout

This Arrow Looper is really pretty to look at as it’s two corkscrew go directly over the midway. However the ride experience itself is not great. The ride is uncomfortable with lots of headbanging and has a short layout with one loop, and airtime hill, and two corkscrew. This is an early Arrow so you can’t expect much from it but it’s not very good.

Location Rattle Dead spots Layout

My least favorite Arrow Mine Train. Has a great location with the water but it suffers in all other categories. This ride didn’t really do anything and when it did it failed to do it comfortably. Mine trains like Thunderation at Silver Dollar City do it right where they have decent sized drops and fun helices while this doesn’t really do anything whatsoever.

Airtimes Fun Smoothness Too short

This is a fun classic PTC woodie. It’s not rough by any means and there is some pretty good airtime moments on it. Classic woodies are always fun and this is another great one. Isn’t one of the best though simply because of its small size and short layout.

Location Layout Rattle Headbanging

This is definitely one of my least favorite Arrow loopers out there but even so I didn’t find this ride to be as bad as people say. It’s in a great location and is a very picturesque coaster and has a fantastic long layout. There is definitely headbanging throughout however I didn’t think it was too severe and I wasn’t expecting there to be more painful moments. A pleasant surprise but still not a coaster I would ride all day.

Airtimes Intensity Smoothness

Easily my favorite GCI. I love everything about this ride. The entrance plaza is beautiful with one of the coolest logos for a coaster there is on the sign and the truck right up front. The first drop is great and then the rest of the ride is pure intense ejector airtime. The out and back layout is awesome and I love flying through the woods while being thrown out of my seat. The shed is also a fun addition much better then a normal break run. Mystic Timbers is an elite wooden coaster.

Theming Launch Intensity

Flight of Fear is an awesome Premier Launch Coaster. The LIM Launch is very intense and heads straight into the spaghetti bowl. The Inversions are fun and forceful. The ride is great in the dark and the theming throughout the queue is awesome. I love this ride and is my fifth favorite in the park.

Airtimes Location Layout

Diamondback is my second favorite B&M Hyper just behind Mako. I love the rides consistent floater airtime throughout its unique and great layout out in th woods. I love the splash down finale but do have one complaint. The ride is not well paced. The trim kills a whole lot of the speed with those long staggered trains and then the MCBR finishes the job. This probably wouldn’t have been an issue if I went in expecting the slower pace but I was expecting Mako. Still a great smooth Hyper with some awesome floater.

Inversions Smoothness Layout

Banshee is my favorite B&M Invert just narrowly beating Montu. The layout is definitely the best of all the inverts and I found it to be incredibly smooth. I got 4 rides on this and didn’t feel a rattle once. I didn’t think it was overly intense like the earlier B&M inverts which is why I can understand why some don’t like it that much but to me this is the best for its superb layout, smooth ride experience, and semi intensity.

Theming Fun Smoothness

All the Disney Mine trains are great. Seven Dwarves Mine Train is the newest of them all. The new Vekoma makes the ride the smoothest coaster I have ever ridden. It is a fun ride with fantastic on ride and in queue theming. It’s not that intense since it is a family coaster but some of the transitions throughout the layout can be real fun and whipped with the swingin trains. I love the landscaping around the whole area and the ride is one of the best mine trains I’ve done.

First Drop Intensity Layout Rattle

A great GCI. Currently my second favorite. Some very intense lateral G-Forces and a great layout. The banked first drop is a lot of fun and the station fly through is great. The ride is a little rough but the layout and g forces completely make up for it.

Location Intensity Smoothness Too short

My favorite Arrow. Very intense with fantastic Inversions and a great drop. The location is great with the mountains around. It’s a shame it’s just a little short.

Theming Launch Fun

My two favorite steel family coasters are this and Cobras Curse. They both execute what a family coaster is supposed to do perfectly. A well themed, not too intense ride with some fun moments that everyone can enjoy. On this ones it’s the two launches and a few moments with some decent airtime. A great family coaster.
