Coaster reviews

Theming Fun Intensity Headbanging

B&M invert so yeah it's good.

Theming Masterpiece Smoothness

Absolutely incredible. From the JP theming to the ride itself, this coaster is the complete package. It has 2 incredible launches and the entire ride is smooth as silk. The lack of over the head restraints add to the intensity. Recommend anyone riding try to get a front seat ride!!

Theming Pace Fun Too short

Fun indoor coaster. Decent intensity but kinda short. One of the few rides that alittle bad weather doesn't shut down and it's a nice place to chill out and wait on a hot day in the park.

This thing is insane. Love the soft restraints and so far this and Fury 325 are the only ones I've ridden to make my world go small from the Gs. Front seat is a must!!

Theming Inversions Fun Harness Layout

This ride is an enigma. It has all the worst qualities of a wild mouse for the first half but is saved by the cool theming and 2nd half of the ride where it kinda turns into a legit roller coaster...🤣 there's 90 degree lifts and drops, fire and 2 killer inversions at the end of the ride. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but with Lightning Rod being up to its usualy shenanigans, it was easily the best ride experience of our visit.

Inversions Smoothness Too short Capacity

Arrow has a formula and this ride sticks to it but is surprisingly smooth. Could stand to be a longer because it's over very quickly. For an old ugly Arrow, it gets decent marks.

Nice surprise! Comfort Fun Capacity

This rise was a pleasant surprise. It is a family coaster that gives little ones a nice introduction to inverted coasters and this ride doesn't disappoint. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Only reason it loses half a star is capacity. Only runs one train and the way Dollywood handles their fast pass riders, the wait can get very frustrating for a short family coaster.

Theming Inversions Duration Discomfort

Ride has a nice look and is a pretty smooth, comfortable ride. Love the restraints used on this ride. The leg guard for the inside rider is a pain as I smacked my shin on it several times.

Nice surprise! Intensity Duration Rattle

At first glance it looks like another Wildcat but this ride doesn't beat you up nearly as bad though it maintains similar intensity.

Discomfort Tear it down!

Nothing good to say. Gets half a star for being classified as a roller coaster. Tear this neck wrenching POS down..

First Drop Pace Smoothness Capacity

What's not to like aside from the wait times but it's a long wait for a reason. 90 degree lift followed by a 97 degree drop and some of the smoothest elements in the park. The shoulder restraints are some of the best but am I the only one who hates the seat design? The front of it digs into your pelvis and is really uncomfortable.

Intensity Layout Lap Bar

This ride gives one of the best rides in the park but has some of the WORST restraints. There's a reason it's called Thigh Crush...lol

First Drop Capacity Comfort Pointless Intensity

While the coaster is a good ride, it isn't worth all the hype. Honestly if you put this ride's restraints on Skyrush, this ride wouldn't have any reason to exist. For being the new "centerpiece" of Hersheypark, there are many rides in the park better than this which will likely include an RMC Wildcat if they go that route. On the plus side, keep adding more coasters and it'll cut the wait times down on everything else..lol

Theming Intensity Ejectors Rattle Discomfort

Not sure why the Wildcat gets all the hate because this thing is just as uncomfortable.

Capacity Inversions Intensity Rattle

This one holds a special place in my heart. I was in the 8th grade the first time I rode it and it was my first legit aerobatic coaster. It has it's flaws for sure but I rank it high just on nostalgia alone.

Intensity Rattle Discomfort

Fini flight on the old Wildcat. Gotta say as much hate as this thing gets for its ride, there is something about having that one coaster in the park that just beats the hell out of you that is kind of appealing to me..lol

Theming Capacity Discomfort Tear it down!

This is literally the only coaster that I have become nauseous on. Other than some cool themeing they literally took an old turd (Sidewinder) and put it in a new dress. I'll never ride this thing again.

Airtimes Pace Fun Rattle

There's a reason why this is a famous woody. What an awesome ride and it does a great job contrasting with Lightning Racer and Wildcat.

First Drop Layout Ejectors Inversions

As rough as it was, I miss the original steel phantom. Thankfully this retracking kept alot of what made the old ride special.

Inversions Rattle Headbanging

Typical arrow. Decent layout but rough and dated.

Inversions Masterpiece Layout Capacity

This hybrid has it all. By far the best coaster at KD. RIDE IT IN THE BACK SEAT! If not, you're cheating yourself. It has all the speed and intensity you could ask for, smooth inversions and some good airtime.

Fun Intensity Discomfort

It's interesting to say the least. Fun ride but not very comfortable and on a hot day, you bake in line and on the ride.

Launch Harness Too short

This one made my daughter a coaster nut and we now get to share a passion that I've had since childhood. Aside from being a great coaster, it gets 5 stars for giving me a riding buddy.

Pointless Layout

Glad it's gone. Shame this was even considered a coaster.

Inversions Launch Smoothness Reliability

Seemed like you always got caught in a wait because it was shut down for one reason or another. I know maintenance was hell on this thing but that aside, it was one of the smoothest coasters I've ever ridden. My wife gets severe motion sickness yet she could ride this thing. RiP Volcano.

Smoothness Too short Disappointing! Pointless

Very lackluster replacement for Volcano the Blast Coaster which aside from its mechanical issues, was a 5 star coaster and highlight of Kings Dominion.

Inversions Intensity Headbanging

I liked this coaster. Today it hurt me and unfortunately that's points off. Had an ear and neck injury from the headbanging from this ride.

Smoothness Layout

Rather muted version of its sister coaster at KD.

Capacity Masterpiece Intensity

There's just nothing bad to say about this ride. It can have a long wait but it has large trains that can move 30+ at a clip.
