Coaster reviews

Airtimes Pace
Great wooden coaster full of a lot of small pops of airtime. I feel as if the ride was a little too overhyped to me since it does not hold up compared to the Gravity Group coasters I've ridden. I surprisingly enjoyed the front row more than the back on this attraction

Location Intensity Duration Dead spots
The helix makes this ride what it is, if I was given only the helix then I would be happy. The ride is a very long trip through the woods with not much going on most of the time with a mostly smooth experience except for a few places. The modified drop was a great improvement that makes the back row experience even better.

Comfort Pace Intensity
Personally, my favorite B&M Invert with a great first drop that yanks you to the side when sitting in the back of the train and to the forceful inversions that don't cause any discomfort. Towards the end of the ride when the pace starts to slow down, Banshee perfectly utilizes it's slow speed to provide hangtime to end the ride. The soft restraints have never caused me any discomfort and I actually prefer it over the old hard restraints. The scream at the top of the lift hill is a nice touch too.

Airtimes Capacity Comfort Too short Dead spots
Best first drop in the park which obviously has a similar feeling to Fury 325. The first waveturn-like element provides no forces but the hills do provide fantastic airtime. The helix is fun but not forceful like Goliath at SFOG. It just strange that King's Island has a B&M hyper from 2009 that still surpasses this in most categories.

Airtimes First Drop Pace
Still one of the best hypers ever built. The first drop is excellent and only second to Orion in the park in that category. Diamondback seems to feel a little faster as the day goes on. I personally preferred the back row for the best riding experience. There is a tiny rattle in the valley between the first turnaround and the next airtime hill, nothing that effects the ride though.
