I read a lot of great reviews about this coaster, so I went in with high hopes. While I enjoyed it, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The airtimes are fun, but the thrills overall were mild to moderate. It wasn't as intense as I thought it would be.

When I first rode Banshee in its debut year, it didn't do much for me. When I rode it again in 2019, I really liked it. I'm not sure what changed for me, but for some reason the elements provided me with more thrills. The long looping inversions are sweet. The twist near the end is great!

When this was the stand-up coaster Mantis, I couldn't stand it because it always made my calf muscles cramp like crazy. As Rougarou, I can actually enjoy the ride! The layout is really good, and there are a lot of fun elements.

I was a lot more impressed with this ride when I rode as a kid in the 70s than when I rode it as an adult. It's fun. It's nostalgic. It's not a ride I desired to ride multiple times.

This has a great layout. The first drop is a lot of fun. For some reason, this ride gives me slight nausea, something I don't experience on any othe...

This has a great layout. The first drop is a lot of fun. For some reason, this ride gives me slight nausea, something I don't experience on any other invert. Still, it has a lot of good elements, and it's very smooth.

It packs a lot of punch into a short ride time. Even though I wish the ride were longer, this coaster still makes my top ten for the sheer amount of...

It packs a lot of punch into a short ride time. Even though I wish the ride were longer, this coaster still makes my top ten for the sheer amount of fun I have on it.

The first drop is great. My favorite part -- the airtime hills at the end. Overall, a really good coaster that we were able to ride a dozen times in one afternoon because the lines were really short that day. At the time, there were a lot of people saying that this was the best coaster in America. It didn't quite live up to that hype, but it's still in my top ten.

Lots of coaster sites rank this highly, but I'm not a big fan. I found the layout to be good but not great, and after two rides I was done. It was t...

Lots of coaster sites rank this highly, but I'm not a big fan. I found the layout to be good but not great, and after two rides I was done. It was too shaky for my tastes.

The layout is awesome. It delivers a lot of good "wow" moments. I just wish it were smoother. There were several moments in the ride where I winced...

The layout is awesome. It delivers a lot of good "wow" moments. I just wish it were smoother. There were several moments in the ride where I winced because of how much the coaster was shaking. I rode it three times in two hours, and after the third ride I had quite the headache.

The launch is such an incredible experience. Probably my favorite moment on any coaster. Yeah, it's a short ride, but it sure packs a lot of excite...

The launch is such an incredible experience. Probably my favorite moment on any coaster. Yeah, it's a short ride, but it sure packs a lot of excitement into about 17 seconds. Top thrill, for sure! Cedar Point does a great job maintaining this coaster to ensure a smooth ride. I've ridden this dozens of times, and I don't think I've ever felt the slightest rattle or vibration.

When you first see the ride, it doesn't look like much. However, RMC shows once again you don't need a huge coaster to provide big thrills. This was...

When you first see the ride, it doesn't look like much. However, RMC shows once again you don't need a huge coaster to provide big thrills. This was such a fun ride. It has great elements, and there are some really fun inversions on this.

B&M delivers the usual smooth ride, and while it has some fun elements, it rates about 7 on the thrill scale. Still, it's a coaster I enjoy riding mu...

B&M delivers the usual smooth ride, and while it has some fun elements, it rates about 7 on the thrill scale. Still, it's a coaster I enjoy riding multiple times in a day.

When I rode this seven years ago, I loved it and was disappointed when the ride came to an end. When I rode it yesterday, I was relieved when it was over. The layout is the best I've seen for a mine coaster, but this ride has gotten much rougher since I rode it in 2015. Seven years ago, I rode it multiple times because it was so much fun. Yesterday, once was enough.
