Location Discomfort

I didn't enjoy this mine train as much as Carolina Goldrusher at Carowinds, but it's still decent.

Rattle Pointless

Honestly, the ride ops were the best part about this ride. They were really funny and energetic.

Location Fun

I actually really enjoyed this. It has some surprising moments of speed, and it just has great run factor.

Fun ride with some intense moments. I wish the effects were working more often.

Airtimes Fun Capacity

These Wild Mouse clones that have these janky little hills at the end are so underrated. The turns are fun, and the janky airtime at the end is always enjoyable.

First Drop Inversions Location Too short

It's a good ride with some fun drops and some great hangtime on the last inversion. Nothing to write home about, but not bad at all.

Kinda rough, kinda fun, kinda boring

Inversions Pace Layout

I love this rides unique layout. That fast paced overbank after the Vertical Loop is really cool. This ride has good days and bad days. Sometimes the first half is somewhat forceless, but other days the first half has really strong positives. The second half is always great though. The drop off the mid corse gives great floater, and the corkscrews are very whippy. The low to the ground turns are also very intense, and the pacing is really good.

Inversions Intensity Discomfort

I need to get re rides on this because my memory of this thing is slipping away. I remember it being pretty fun, but I do remember the last transition into the last break run being really painful.

Inversions Location Intensity Rattle

This is such an underrated ride. The first half has incredible sense of speed that rivals even some hypers I've ridden. The positive gs in the first half are so strong and sustained that it doesn't even make sense. The positives just keep getting stronger and stronger until they crescendo in the Cobra roll. This is by far the best, and most intense inversion I've ever experienced. The positives going in are good, and then you get probably the most violent moment of whip I've ever experienced, you get crazy strong positives on the top of the cobra roll, a second great moment of whip, and then super strong and sustained positives going down. The gs are so intense that my legs go numb to an almost painful point. The second half, while slower and not as intense as the first is still fun. The transition into the mid-corse is oddly fun. You have two more fun, whippy inversions, a decently intanse helix, and some snow theming to finish the ride. The location of this ride is also fantastic. Not only is it super photogenic, but flying past trees and near misses really heightens the sense of speed. This can be a little rough on some days, and I do generally prefer airtime based coasters, but I can't deny how insane this ride is. One of my favorites.

First Drop Inversions Fun

The winged seating added a weird feel to the inversions that made it stand out from the other B&M loopers I've ridden. This coaster isn't the most intense coaster out there, but it's just pure fun.

First Drop Location Fun Too short

People hate on dive coasters, but this coaster shows that dive coasters can be great rides. Hanging over the first drop is always fun, and if your sitting in the back row with room on your restraint, Those drops give the best moments of floater I've experienced. The vallies are decently intense. The inversions are somewhat whippy. The second half has fun floater moments, and the splash down is a cool feature. For a short one Trick pony, this ride is very well rounded.

Location Pace Intensity Too short

This is a pretty intense and fast paced invert with a great location. The zero-g roll and corkscrew are also really whippy. Just wish it was a little longer.

First Drop Pace Intensity Too short

This ride is surprisingly intense. Almost every vally gave strong positive gs. Add two great moments of ejector on that drop, and last airtime hill, snappy corkscrews, and great pacing you have a great ride. People the rattle is bad, but to didn't really bother me. I also wish the ride was a little longer.

Inversions Launch Pace Lap Bar

This is a very underrated ride. The first half is great, with a fun fast launch, and three fast, forceful, and disorienting inversions. Lots of people complain about the second half being rough and boring. While I can see people calling it rough, I don't think it's boring at all. The turns and transitions have very imperfect profiling, but it makes the second half feel a lot more out of control. I also love how your constantly building up speed. The last corkscrew is also pretty intense. My only con is the lap bar and the trains. The just aren't comfortable to sit in, but they don't detract much from the ride experience.

Airtimes Location Pace Too short Lap Bar

This is a very underrated ride. This ride has many moments of strong floater airtime, along with some surprisingly strong laterals. This is put into an aggressive, excellently paced layout that has awsome terrain interaction. It can be very hard to get room on the lap bars, and the ride is pretty short, but it's well worth the wait.

Lap Bar Pace Intensity Lap Bar

This is the closest I've come to feeling like I was going to die on a coaster. First off the restraints are both the worst and best part about this ride. They do get super tight, and would be nice if they didn't, but they don't cause to much discomfort during the ride, and I can still feel all the forces so it's not that bad. However, the restraints are so small, and the way they come down, it makes you feel so exposed, and this is what makes Skyrush what it is. The airtime is the strongest I've experienced. The drop really does feel like the train is going to fly off the tracks. The camelbacks give insane sustained ejector, and the last hill is so intense I couldn't help but just scream every time I went over it. The large bank turns in the first half are also amazing. Since the train has no lateral support, the positive gs push you to the side, and I had to literally re align my body during these turns just to stay upright. The laterals in the second half are on a different level though. Once again, the open trains make these elements much more intense. The stangel dive gave crazy laterlas and airtime, the transition after the stangel dive gave the single most intense moment of laterlas I've ever experienced. My body literally just got folded over and it was insane. The twisted hill also give a very aggressive moment of whip. My favorite part of skyrush is that the ride is always doing something, even the transitions between elements are intense. My favorite seat is the back left wing seat, for the drop, laterals, and the feeling of not having a floor beneath you really adds to the insanity that is this ride. This is solidly in my top three, and it will probably stay that way for a while.

Airtimes First Drop Fun Dead spots

All though the weakest of the B&M hypers I've ridden, it's still an awsome ride. The whip, and the floater airtime you get over that first drop is amazing. The camelbacks give good sustained floater, and the open trains really let you feel all the speed on this ride. The post mid-corse section could be faster, but it doesn't detract much from the ride.

Airtimes Location Rattle

I almost guarantee that this ride would be in my top 10 if I rerode it today, but I can only judge it of my one ride in 2018. I was just becoming an enthusiast back then, and my tolerance for roughness was much lower back then. I do remember the incredible view, and some great airtime, but until I can get a reride, it's one of my lower ranked coasters.

Intensity Rattle Capacity Discomfort

This ride has a solid layout with many intense moments, but the rattle and the standup trains suck up almost all enjoyment out of the ride. The awful operations don't help either.

Pace Fun Intensity Capacity Discomfort

This ride is criminally underrated. This ride has some of the most intense and disorienting maneuvers I've ever experienced. This was my first flying coaster, and I love that sensation. This is one of those rides, that feels like it's going to fall apart, but it just adds to craziness of the ride. That Vertical Loop is one of my all time favorite inversions. This is one of maybe 2 or 3 coasters where I was uncontrollably laughing by the end of the ride. The operations are abysmally slow, and sitting on your back on the brake run isn't exactly fun. My only real complaint is that the reride value isn't super high, but I can't deny how insane this ride is.

Location Launch Fun Too short

Unfortunately, I only got one ride on this. I became an enthusiast in early 2018, during the last couple of weeks before volcano's closing. However it was probably in the best conditions possible. It was a station wait, front row, in light rain. I remember it being an awsome ride. Forceful first launch, fun first turn, crazy launch out of the volcano, and a fun second half filled with fun heartline rolls. You will be missed.

Discomfort

If this is one of the best boomerangs, the I don't want to know what a bad boomerang is like. This thing wasn't even that rough, and the restraints eliminated any head banging . But this ride is just so uncomfortable for me. I don't get nauseous on coasters, but this made me feel like I was going to throw up. I love intense rides but this was just unpleasant.

Launch

Launch go zoom

Pace Intensity Layout

This ride is insane. The pacing is amazing, and every element delivers. Literally every vally has strong positive gs, and I mean every vally. The vally between the Immelmann and the Zero-G roll has positives. The entrance and exit of the batwing have positives. Even the exit of the corkscrew has positives, and that corkscrew is probably the whippiest corkscrew ever. The ride is intense, compact, and relentlessly paced. Everything I could want in an invert.

Launch Intensity Layout

I remember really enjoying this ride when I rode back in 2018. Unfortunately, stupid 2018 me, didn't ride in the back, so I can't testify to how insane the drop is back there, but I remember it being pretty intense in the front though. The ride is fast and intense, the transitions are whippy, the airtime is strong, the launch is amazing, and the location is awsome. A little overrated, but still an amazing ride.
