Coaster reviews

Airtimes Launch Hangtime Too short Theming Harness

Needs better theming, getting in the ride vehicle is difficult, and the ride is very short. Still, it's very fun. Ejector airtime, fun launches, hangtime on the apex of the spikes, nice little layout.

Inversions Launch Smoothness Harness

Always duels, it has airtime, 4 inversions, forceful helixes, good theming, and you get to ride twice. This ride checks all of the boxes for an excellent ride.

Location Pace Intensity

By far the best stateside flying coaster. One train ops work in this one's favor because you don't have to sit on the brake run waiting to unload. The pacing on this is immaculate. Forceful first drop into back to back Corkscrews in different directions is disorienting and awesome, and the views are incredible. The two overbanks after are also very Forceful and aggressive. Then the pretzel loop at the end is huge and seemingly never ending. If anything the last barrel roll and helix are there for you to recollect yourself after the nosedive, and gives one last scenic panorama before the ride ends. The location at the top of the Magic Mountain is incredible and the theming and pacing complete it.

Lap Bar Location Layout Rattle

A fun scenic coaster with janky transitions and some surprisingly fast spots.

Inversions Intensity Smoothness Theming

Scream is a very fun floorless coaster, great inversions, a forceful helix, and nice spots of floater. The lack of theming feels like a novelty that's fun to make fun of.

Airtimes Capacity Intensity

Goliath is a great coaster. It's smooth, comfortable, and fun. I think the extra helix sends Titan over the edge as the better ride.

Airtimes First Drop Duration

Absolutely wicked coaster. Huge airtime, great inversions, two first drops, smooth, fun.

Theming Smoothness Too short

Nice little family coaster but a little short and uneventful.

Airtimes Lap Bar Hangtime

A little short but really fun. There's a little jolt during the Corkscrew but that's it. Hangtime, airtime, comfortable, smooth.

Location Theming Capacity Discomfort

Crappy mouse below disney standard.

Airtimes Location Harness Headbanging Inversions

Scenic, a few good airtime moments, better restraints, fun... but unfortunately the two inversions are terribly shaky and have rough trackwork.

Airtimes Location Fun Too short

Scenic, fun airtime, nice helixes, interacts with other rides, beautiful and photogenic.

Theming Location Fun Capacity

Line moves slow but really fun ride. Sharp drops and turns, great theming and location in the park, awesome effects and animatronics, and a fun splash at the end.

Theming Fun Masterpiece

Smooth, well themed, well paced, a variety of elements, comfortable, intense, and fun.

Airtimes Fun Intensity Too short

Awesome E&F Miler kiddie coaster. I love their rides to bits. This ride has good airtime and laterals and goes around twice. It was easily better than Looping Thunder before they replaced it with Adrenaline Peak.

Location Fun Intensity Harness

Though the OSTRs feel unnecessary on this no-inversion, floored suspended coaster, the swinging is still fun and well paced in a cool forest location.

Theming Location Fun Discomfort

Though not that comfortable, it's a well paced and well themed mine train with a cool setting and ending.

Theming Inversions Pace

Though shorter than Pyrock, I think Blizzrock was the complete package. A zero-g roll, a cobra roll, a loop, and a corkscrew. And since it was shorter, it was much better paced, and got more intense as the ride went on. Because of this, it was my favorite of the two, and I'll definitely miss it the most.

Theming Intensity Duration

Pyrock was a long invert, with two whippy flat spins and two forceful immelmanns. The dueling was amazing, the layout snappy, and the theming excellent. I'll truly miss this awesome Invert, as Dueling Dragons was the best coaster on Universal property.

Pace Fun Layout Rattle Discomfort

Lion felt like the definitive Gwazi experience, while Tiger felt quirky and unique. The elements went farther out, and side we rode this side less, it felt like a new spin on an old favorite. Still pretty lousy, but badass when it dueled with millennium flyers.

Pace Fun Layout Rattle Discomfort Dead spots

As bad of a ride it was, this was my first woodie. It's long, well paced, and twisty. The ride was at its peak when it dueled with millennium flyers, and without there was still fun to be had. I love the memories it gave me, and I'm glad it's getting reborn as a better ride.

Intensity Layout Discomfort

This ride was terrifying, but nostalgic. It was one of my first big coasters, and I adored it. Forceful, long, intense, and ready to fall apart. I don't really miss it much, but I'm happy for the memories it gave me.

Airtimes Fun Layout Rattle Discomfort

I think Georgia Cyclone was a much more fun ride than Scream Machine. It had great laterals and airtime, and a nice location. However, it was ridiculously rough, and that made the hilarity of riding it go up even more. The lack of historical significance and better layout makes me glad this was RMCed instead, but the park now needs a good wooden coaster.

Rattle Pointless

Mean Streak was so lousy. Forceless, unmaintained, neutered, and really really slow and long.

Theming Inversions Launch Too short Layout

Volcano is a ride that really added to the uniqueness of King Dominion, and it's a shame it never got to coexist with Twisted Timbers. The launches were great, the theming was outstanding, and the ride was exciting. The barrel rolls are fun and the volcano is awesome. The layout is repetitive and too short, but that adds to how unique and quirky this ride was.

Theming Fun Smoothness Dead spots

The main draw for this one is the amazing onride OST. However, there are very few drops, and the last half of the ride is only right turns, and I think that's lame. Still a really fun family coaster.

Theming Launch Duration Dead spots

This is a really weird coaster. I rode this as California Screamin', and I enjoyed it. The launch is great, but most of the layout is awkward meandering. The loop is fun, but the airtime hills didn't have airtime. Still, it's a really long ride and it's quite fun with the music.

Lap Bar Launch Fun Too short

Xcelerator takes off like a bullet and leaves your stomach in the station. It's intense, and the layout is over quickly. No launch has come close quite yet, except maybe TTD.

Inversions Pace Fun

Silver Bullet is more B&M awesomeness at work. Six inversions (I might argue seven because of how hard the stengel dive banks), two helices, great pacing, and a great location make this a fine invert indeed.

Pace Fun Layout

Pretty fun ride. Smooth, twisty, and compact.
