Fun Layout Ejectors Dead spots
Inconsistent, and that last 3rd can be slow, but still a solid ride that’s a middle of the pack RMC for me.
-
Airtimes Lap Bar Ejectors
Love this ride. A personal comfort ride and a happy place, the Phoenix can always surprise me again when I least expect it.
-
First Drop Fun Hangtime
Time Traveler is the best looper I’ve done, far and away. The spinning is not a lot but it definitely makes no 2 rides the same, with laterals and airtime pulling you in every which direction.

Airtimes Intensity Layout
After the new restraints, I’ve come to see them as a slight downgrade, but not enough to even lower it in my rankings. This ride is truly special and one of a kind, and I hope we have it here at Hershey for years to come.

Inversions Pace Ejectors
Wildcats Revenge is a hard ride for me, because it stole Wildcat from me. But, as time has gone on, I’ve come to respect this ride as a worthy replacement. Its rapid fire elements and ejector really make it something special.

A true Pittsburgh classic. A ride that shows sometimes second chances can make a difference.

Nice surprise! Fun Ejectors Too short
Great wood coaster, I don't understand how people don't talk about it more. One of CCI's finest works and definitely worth the visit to IB.

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar Rattle
Aside from the historical value, this really is a great ride. Iconic, airtime filled, and has the "seen better days but is as dignified as ever" feel. Goes back to the glory days of Coney Island in a way only the Wonder Wheel comes close to doing. On top of that, this is truly an elite wooden coaster to this day.

Airtimes Smoothness Duration
Mamba is all about that Magnum vibe but with the smoothness of a Cadillac. I still prefer Magnum, but this gives it a run for its money. Better than Phantom’s Revenge even.
-
Airtimes Nice surprise! Duration
Shivering Timbers is one of the best wooden coasters in existence. My God, this is one of the few new rides for me recently that got a guttural reaction out of me. This is so good, makes the trip up to Michigan worth it.
-
Airtimes Capacity Location
This was a slow burn ride for me. I didn’t like it that much my first 2 visits. But my third visit blew me away. This ride is now in my top 10. For that reason, even if you’ve ridden this and didn’t like it, try it again. It might surprise you.

First Drop Intensity Ejectors Capacity Lap Bar
Steel Vengeance’s second half, the ride. Still very good, towards the end you are saying “oh my God” on every bunny hill.
-
Inversions Launch Layout
Best Intamin at Cedar Point easily, and would easily be number 1 at any other park. Underrated.
-
Masterpiece Ejectors Duration
I really have no complaints. I don’t think I need to say much because so much has already been said.
-
Inversions Intensity Ejectors
Iron Gwazi is the pinnacle of what RMC as a company can do. To match El Toro style airtime with Steel Vengeance sized elements makes this a great and hard to replicate thrill. I don’t see them topping this for years to come, if ever.

Airtimes Inversions Masterpiece
Velocicoaster in my opinion is the perfect rollercoaster. It may not be my favorite, but whatever you want in a rollercoaster, this ride has. Airtime? Check. Laterals? Check. Positives? Check. Theming? Check again. The amount of checked boxes this ride has can’t all be listed here, but what I can say is this ride is gonna be a thrill to Universal guests for years to come.
-
Masterpiece Ejectors Duration
This ride deserves the name Voyage. You feel that you are going on one by the halfway point of the ride. The airtime, the setting, it’s all amazing. Imo the trims don’t even matter much, once it’s warmed up it’s gonna be elite regardless.
-
Lap Bar Nice surprise! Ejectors Rattle
Best ride at SFStL hands down. Mr. Freeze Stans are just deniers of the real truth that the most elite ride in the park is this. Was not expecting this to be as good as it was, totally blew me away and was a great way to end coaster production for PTC. Talk about going out with a bang.

First Drop Inversions Fun Intensity
Not the greatest floorless, I've ridden 3 that are better. I've ridden 6 total floorless coasters.
-
First Drop Inversions Intensity Harness Discomfort
One of the most intense B&Ms out there, I really like how intense it is. Keep your head forward and it becomes enjoyable.
-
First Drop Inversions Intensity Rattle
Demon is in my opinion the best Arrow I've ridden. Sure it's rough, but I honestly don't care (I ride defensively anyway). Do not skip! Number 5 at Great America for me.
-
Pointless Dead spots Layout
I get this is a kiddie coaster, but this is like the all time low of rollercoasters. I don’t think it can get lower. Wacky Worms are 10x more creative than this design.
-
Inversions Hangtime Rattle
An ok floorless, I need to give it another shot.
-
Inversions Location Intensity Discomfort Reliability
As with any S&S, reliability is always an issue, but nonetheless Ive had some great rides on it.
-
Airtimes Launch Fun Too short Layout
Has airtime on the straight spike, even if it doesn't do much it's fun.
-
Inversions Launch Layout Dead spots
Was kind of boring my first ride, but after riding the FoF clones I think I have to ride this again.
-
Airtimes Intensity Duration
Twister is a great underrated ride that most people who've ridden rave about, myself included. Night rides are just a different breed on this and its counterpart Phoenix. The airtime is on the front of this ride (so most people miss it) if you don't understand why the airtime gets so mixed reviews.

Airtimes Location Fun Rattle Dead spots
Hoosier Huricane is a generic CCI, not much to it but it has 1 good airtime moment.
-
Theming Launch Fun Dead spots
The best family coaster out there.

Inversions Pace Smoothness Theming Layout Intensity
Kinda boring but an ok floorless nonetheless.
