Jaguar is a family style coaster. I feel that it had more of an out of control feel than I was expecting. Still pretty tame, but a little rough; I slammed my arm a couple times into the side. For the most part, a tame coaster that’s long. Ops were a disaster though.

Silver bullet is one of the most disorienting rides I’ve ever been on. Throughout most of the ride I didn’t know where we were going and I was greying out for most of the ride(that’s pretty hard to do). There are plenty of inversions and it has great speed. The only problem is the first drop isn’t great and is pretty gradual. Solid invert for sure though.

So, the first drop isn’t bad and I kinda of enjoyed it. The problem with this ride stems from the terrible restraint system. They use a shin guards on...

So, the first drop isn’t bad and I kinda of enjoyed it. The problem with this ride stems from the terrible restraint system. They use a shin guards on the ride, which really hurt. The theming is really lacking the ride looks pretty rundown. Just a ride that sucks to ride and that is hella painful.

It is wild mouse so there isn’t much to talk about. I will say, it is one of the better wild mouses and the drops were untrimmed and intense. Unfortunately it is only a wild mouse, and the theming has definitely deteriorated over the years, especially for Disney’s standards. Also, be careful, there are a lot of abrupt stops.

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. I rode the left side a couple days before and loved it, but the right was just a lot less lackluster. There was not as many drops and a lot less sharp turns and out of control feel. The theming was better on the right side, and it was more smooth. But I just thought the left side was a lot better.

Used to ride this a lot as kid as California screaming and really enjoyed it. I do believe that the original theming is superior, but the Pixar theming isn’t bad either. In terms of the ride, it is a tame thrill coaster with some airtime and drops. The airtime isn’t great, but it’s still pretty fun. The launch is more ínstense than the stats, and the theming and music help out the ride alot. The ride is pretty smooth, but there is a rattle on the loop. Ride the back for more airtime, and ride the front for the wind in your face(both were good). Overall just a solid coaster, but a must ride at Disneyland(California Adventure).

Some people might say Matterhorn is too bumpy, although I may agree, it definitely adds to the ride experience. Since the restraints are only seatbelts, and the turns are really bumpy, it gives a completely out of control feeling. I love the intensity of the this ride and the bumpiness adds a lot. There also is great theming and the turns are really sharp. All in all, a surprisingly intense coaster with solid ride time.

It’s a tame Disney family coaster, you can’t really expect intensity and big drops. The theming is pretty good and I like the noice the train makes throughout the layout. Unfortunately the drops are shallow and doesn’t have much intensity. Mainly just a well themed family coaster with som good effects.

If you were to give me the Star Wars version of this ride, which they offer in may, I would give it a 5 stars. I believe the theming of Star Wars made this coaster so much better. With that being said, the coaster is definitely better than it’s stats and has a decent ride time. The line is always super long and the drops are nothing special. The laterals are pretty intense, but just not enough without the Star Wars theming to make it impressive. The darkness ads to the intensity, and great roller coaster for kids.

I rode this two times in the back row, and I was pretty impressed. GCI did a great job with this coaster. The pacing is great and the first drop in the back row is excellent. The layout is fantastic with plenty of airtime and fun moments. All around, it is a great coaster that is intense and just plain fun to ride. The intensity comes from the violent dips and turns, which in my opinion makes it better. Great woody! Only downfall is that it can be a little rough in certain spots, but I think that it adds to the intensity more than actually hurting the experience.

I thought it was alright. Solid wooden coaster. Didn’t give too much airtime and the drops seemed a little lack luster. The speed and pace was great. Recommend the back row for most intensity. Last half of the layout seemed to be tame and not much positives to it. My friends loved it though, but I thought it was alright.

It is a stand up coaster. Rode it back in 2015 before it got changed to Patriot. Nothing to write home about, lack luster layout and B&M stand up coasters just aren’t great.

Unfortunately this is one of B&M’s first inverts and it shows. Flight deck is fun and has good pacing. But it suffers from its short layout and lack of inversions. There are only three inversions, although intense. The problem with flight deck, is there are many other better B&M inverts that are better and I believe many of the Batman clones are better. The first drop into the first loop made me grey out, and the layout was fun. But the lack of inversions and a short ride make me have to give it a lower grade.

The grizzly is just an outdated coaster. The drops aren’t bad, but there are only a couple of them, and the layout mainly consists of the train going about 10 mph, making its way to the next drop. There are so many dead spots, and the grizzly definitely needs to be torn down. The layout consists of a drop, than a long 10 mph turn to the next drop. Half of your ride is just nothing. The final downfall, is this ride takes up so much room in the park. California’s Great America already has developed 100% of their land, and the grizzly takes up a good chunk of it. CGA, can so use this room for something so much better. I believe that the Grizzly definitely deserves the RMC treatment.

Can’t really put too much blame on why this coaster is bad. Patriot was originally vortex, and vortex was one of B&M’s first stand up models. The problem with patriot is mainly it’s layout. There are 2 inversions and everything else are just dips and turns. The ride is pretty smooth and there wasn’t much headbanging. The ride was just pointless and although the inversions were solid, we need more than just 2. And Finally, the ride is just too short. There are 2 inversions and just a couple dips and turns and than the ride is over. All in all, just a below average coaster.

Goliath does not live up to its looks. The first drop is alright, but Goliath lacks forceful drops and sustained intensity. There is a mid course break run that kind of ruins the momentum. The only major positive for this ride is the downward helix towards the end that greys you out. Outside of that, not much to write home about. Recommend sitting in the front for the best ride.

It is a wild mouse, so you can’t really rate it that high. Not worth the wait. It doesn’t offer much as a coaster, and you can really find this kind of coaster at every theme park. Pretty smooth though overall, but not much to offer.

Demon is underrated in my opinion. People over exaggerate its roughness. For an old arrow looper, it runs pretty well. Yes, it is a little rough, but ...

Demon is underrated in my opinion. People over exaggerate its roughness. For an old arrow looper, it runs pretty well. Yes, it is a little rough, but not that bad. The inversions are solid, but it does lack a good layout. The theming is great and I can see all the work Cedar Fair has put in over the past couple years. Enjoyable, but nothing to write home about.

Twisted Colossus is a very unique coaster. You get that trademark ejector airtime that RMC offers, but with a twist. Unique elements on the ride like a top gun stall and a dueling track. Drops are well hidden and surprising at times. The coaster is two tracks in one and you ride both, which is a positive. The tracks are able to dual and interact with one another, major positive, but rare. Unfortunately both sets of track aren’t very long and RMC could have increased their track length. Overall, great coaster.

Rode it a couple years ago. Writing this review for the credit because I won’t be going back. Nothing impressive about this wooden coaster. Seems old and outdated.

This coaster is short but sweet. The coaster is pretty fun, but it is too short to be a great coaster. The first launch is gradual, but forceful enough to be decent. The loop is amazing, and the hang time and view is ridiculous. The tunnel has some surprising and fun moments and the final drop at the end has insane ejector airtime. Just too short of a ride for the wait time and the capacity isn’t enough to make it a great coaster.

I’m just gonna be honest, I’m not a fan of B&M stand up coasters. I feel like they lack intensity and just aren’t really worth the wait half the time. Riddler’s Revenge is probably one of the better stand up coasters, and the amount of inversions makes this ride better than most. The pacing is good on this ride, but there isn’t much intensity. Overall, just a decent coaster, but if you love stand up coasters you will love this ride. Wouldn’t ride if the line is long and the restraints aren’t very comfortable. I feel like stand up coasters are just pointless and don’t really have any positives specifically to the stand up feature.

It is basically a tame suspended coaster. Not much to it and isn’t intense at all unless in the back row. Recommend the back row for most intensity; whips you around a good bit in the back. Only worth riding in the back, unless there is no line. Pretty tame family coaster for the most part and just doesn’t have much to offer. Feels pretty slow and pointless towards the front.

For the most part it is fun coaster. It is a two in one coaster, and offers two tracks that race(positive). The first track is pretty fun and more int...

For the most part it is fun coaster. It is a two in one coaster, and offers two tracks that race(positive). The first track is pretty fun and more intense than the second track. Some airtime on the first track. The second track is lack luster and doesn’t have much intensity. Overall just a fun coaster that duals. Last downfall is that the coaster lacks capacity and the line is too long. Not worth riding for the line.
