Comfort Pace Fun

-
Inversions Fun Dead spots
wheeee fun!!!! my first inversion. really fun ride.
-
Launch Disappointing!
Out of the 5 elements this ride has (launch, tophat, cobra loop, snake dive, lateral snaps) only 3 of them do something for me. The launch is amazing and intense. No denying that. The tophat has alright air, the cobra loop is one of the worst inversions ever, it just has absolutely zero force to it. The snake dive is vicious and I love the whip it offers. And the lateral snaps are alright just not outstanding. Overrated as hell. Nowhere near as good as the other Intamin in the park.
-
Airtimes Lap Bar Fun Capacity
The operations are horrible, but the ride is a really solid hyper. Great airtime and fun! It’s pretty good.
-
Inversions Intensity Smoothness
Holy FUCK this ride is underrated. Super intense, amazing zero g roll. Absolutely the best invert in PA and my second favorite invert personally. A powerful ride that never lets up until the very end. Amazing invert.
-
Smoothness Capacity
Smooth and fun but doesn’t do all that much. Theming is meh, I hate the one screen thing that has “LOL!” On it it’s so inaccurate to old funhouses and just kinda bothers me. Capacity is garbage.
-
Pointless Airtimes Dead spots
Boring, zero airtime up front or in the back. Does nothing for me. One of my least favorite woodies. Anyone who says there is airtime on this ride is delusional.
-
Theming Duration Capacity
Boring as a coaster, however it’s really well themed! Shoutout to centrailia, that place is creepy as hell. Trains cramped as hell but still fun. Also the better dark ride out of the 2 in the park, Haunted mansion is overrated and also just sensory overload. I hate the constant noises of haunted mansion compared to this more relaxed dark ride. Haunted mansion while i commend knoebels for taking care of it, is just too much overload for me. I’ll take this over it
-
Meh. It exists. Credit moment.
-
Fun Smoothness Capacity
Not the best bobsled ive done, but the smoothest. Amazing how knoebels revived this ride type. Capacity nightmare tho!! Awesome ride.
-
Inversions Nice surprise! Fun Capacity
A really solid ride! Capacity is dog shit but it has a solid set of 4 inversions, great hangtime, and really fun! The helix is a bit shaky though, so be warned. Other than that it’s smooth. The lap bar does lower a bit during the ride but still really enjoyable!

Fun Capacity
Line moved at a snails pace but it was fine i guess. Nothing much to say here.
-
Location Rattle
The setting is really nice under the trees in a rather unshaded part of the park. It’s a credit and that’s the only reason i rode it. It’s jerky and shakes around a bit more than the other versions of this ride, but i found the setting to be what made this ride :)
-
Airtimes Nice surprise! Location
Y’all need to stop bitching. It is not rough even in the very back, but I wouldn’t advise riding there. It’s boring back here, but up front you get 3 of the funniest ejector pops out there. In no way is it my favorite woodie and it’s not even close, but up front it’s solid. The trims suck and yadda yadda yeah yeah but seriously underrated. Sit up front for the best experience.
-
Launch Rattle Headbanging Discomfort
How a ride without turns, manages to deliver headbanging is beyond me. It bounces, it shakes. And it hurts. If i was a local i would ride it once a visit just for the launch which is alright but god this ride is terrible.
-
Capacity Smoothness Inversions Disappointing! Pointless
This ride does absolutely nothing. My least favorite invert by a long shot. I am just baffled by how little this ride does. A meh drop, a meh loop, a horrible zero g roll that has neither float like newer B&M rolls or whip like the old B&M rolls, a meh Immelmann, and then a alright corkscrew. Just not my cup of tea. Great bear sweeps. One of the most underwhelming and disappointing coasters ive ever ridden.
-
Nice surprise! Location Fun
Y’all bitch about this ride way too much it’s really fun, has great interactions with other rides and actually does something. Solid little ride
-
Launch Fun Duration
If you think this is rough, you’re made of glass. Awesome intense ride. Awesome launch.
-
Airtimes Ejectors Capacity Harness
This ride is pure airtime and I love it, just please rmc just please make it sustained I love the 3 hills but the little pops are just too quick for me to truly take in the moment of airtime and appreciate it. I will say tho the outerbank under the lift is one of my favorite airtime moments of all time it’s outta nowhere and I love it. Rmc shin guards can die in hell tho <3
-
Airtimes Discomfort Dead spots
Just going to say this before we get to the actual main review, but I got 8 minimum verify rides during six flags thrillathon 23, in addition to 15 other rides that day, rounding off for 23 for the day and 24 overall (we had morning ert). I prefer el toro up front, not only because it’s smoother, but the airtime is stronger charging up the hills, absolutely unreal being ejected on the way up and being thrown out of your seat even farther at the apex of the hills. Yeah the drop is better in the back but everything that follows is much. MUCH better up front. Half a star off for the roughness that tries to put my spine in a soda can and also for the snooze fest that is the turnaround and speed hill, plus the switchbacks.

Rattle Discomfort Tear it down!
This ride is fucking horrendous. I have to put a half of a star to submit this but this ride gets a score of 0/5 and a 0/10. It’s fucking horrific. It looks good but then you actually ride it. There is nothing redeeming about this ride. The rattle is unbearable. It rides like a fucking shopping cart going down a cobblestone road. I’m happy zamperla is improving but this is the Worst coaster ever for me personally. I’ve given it 4 chances and it just keeps getting worse. There is no fixing this ride. Piece of shit. Also this is coming from someone who likes skyrush restraints but these are the worst restraints I’ve ever experienced by far. The operators make you sit completely back, and then they slam the plastic panini press of a restraint down so hard that it feels like you’ll lose circulation in your legs. They keep tightening the entire ride. Horrific ride. Burn it down or unleash steel eating termites on it, just get rid of it and I can die happy.

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors
Skyrush. What a ride. The best airtime focused ride I’ve ever ridden, insane sustained ejector, lateral ejector, positive g’s, a first drop that launches you into orbit in the back left seat. I honestly do like the restraints? I didn’t get any pain with them. Do they tighten? Yes 100%, but it’s not unbearable. I can put up with it for the greatest airtime focused coaster ive ridden. Pure masterpiece of a coaster. Nothing can beat this and my no1, I-305. I give that ride the edge for focusing on positive G’s more, as that’s my favorite force on a coaster. I think airtime should be done this way, I’m not a huge fan of the rmc quick pop of ejector, I want sustained airtime. Floater or ejector. This coaster perfectly demonstrates sustained ejector airtime perfectly and I’m here for all of it. I love this ride. One of the 2 coasters I consider to truly be a perfect coaster.
