Coaster reviews

First Drop Pointless Dead spots Layout

The grizzly is just an outdated coaster.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.

Smoothness Too short Pointless Layout

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.

Comfort Intensity Dead spots

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.

Fun Too short Capacity Dead spots

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.

Theming Inversions Headbanging Discomfort Layout

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.

Airtimes Capacity Smoothness

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.

Location Intensity Smoothness

This coaster is a pretty smooth flying coaster. The view that you get while riding tatsu is unreal. The terrain and view on this ride allow you to feel an authentic flying experience. The ride is fun and has some intense elements, but is kind of short. The pretzel loop is insanely intense and you better brace yourself for it. Overall great coaster and just fun overall.

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.

Headbanging Discomfort

Rode it a couple years ago. Won’t be able to go back, so Im writing this review to keep track of the credit. It is a vekoma Slc, so not a great coaster.

It’s a boomerang. Rode it 6 years ago. Just for credit

Nice surprise! Hangtime Too short Capacity

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.

Inversions Pace Duration Discomfort

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.

Pace Layout Dead spots

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.

Launch Smoothness Too short Reliability

Superman is an interesting ride to judge. It is just a simple launch and fall. The launch is pretty gradual and is lackluster if you aren’t sitting in the front. The fall from the top of the tower is underwhelming and only gives a good view. MUST SIT IN FRONT! The Front gives the best ride and the wind gives the ride much more intensity. It is too short to be a good coaster and you are basically limited to the front for the a good ride.

Fun Smoothness Duration Capacity

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.

Masterpiece Intensity Layout Capacity Discomfort

This ride is insane! One of the most intense roller coasters you will ever experience. The intensity makes this ride great and if you are looking for intense roller coasters this one is for you. The spinning seats puts the coaster on a whole different level. But, it is pretty rough at times. The raven turn at the end is brutal. If you sit on a seat closer to the track, your ride will be much smoother, but you will lose some intensity. The back outside seat is the most intense seat by far, but you will be thrashed around more. This ride has a limited capacity and the line takes forever, recommend riding on a Monday or Tuesday. Does break down occasionally.
