Coaster reviews

Rattle Discomfort Layout

Boring layout. The last turn is incredibly rough. Wen RMC?

Capacity Harness Discomfort

Long, slow moving line, terribly designed harness, and janky transitions. Really not a good kids coaster at all.

First Drop Pace Masterpiece

I knew this ride was amazing going into it but it still somehow blew my expectations away. The first drop is incredible, the speed never lets up, the ride is super smooth, the airtime hills and the treble clef are great. This coaster will go down in history as one of the most iconic steel coasters of our time.

Airtimes First Drop

Underrated hyper coaster. First drop is great and the airtime is great. Probably my second favorite coaster at Carowinds

Fun Too short

Wasn’t too rough. Wasn’t that exciting. Felt pretty short. Not bad for families though.

Intensity Capacity Discomfort

This may be one of the more intense rides at Carowinds. There are plenty of cons though because of the painfully slow operations, this was by far the longest line at Carowinds. Some of the elements make your head shake all over the place. At some moments you have no choice but to look directly at the sun or to clench your eyes shut. Very interesting coaster.

Discomfort

Not the best mine train out there. Felt pretty janky throughout and uncomfortable. Not much leg room especially in wheel seats. I was glad when this one was over.

Inversions Intensity Too short

The inversions are forceful and the trenches are really fun. This one felt short for some reason. Left me wanting more.

Inversions Hangtime

The roll out of the station is really cool. Plenty of hang time on this one. Good airtime moments. Overall a very solid coaster.

Discomfort

Typical wild mouse. Don’t care for them at all. Jenky all the way through.

Theming Fun Capacity

I was pleasantly surprised with this ride. The theming is great and the little hills are really fun. The line for this ride is always super long. May not be worth the long wait times if you’re looking for something more thrilling like rock n roller coaster

Theming Fun Dead spots

As with thunder mountain, this ride is not exactly thrilling as it’s a family mine train coaster. The theming is amazing and is definitely one of the better mine trains out there.

Lap Bar Intensity Too short

Scorpion is an ok ride. The loop is forceful but the rest doesn’t do much else. It was also a little rough. The minimal restraints on it is definitely a positive though.

First Drop Inversions Harness

The harness was pretty uncomfortable on my shoulders. This was my first dive coaster and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The front row was the best. This ride was super smooth and has a really cool baggage system.

Theming Fun Masterpiece

I was a little skeptical of how much fun I would have on this coaster since it’s at Disney. After riding twice, I can say with 100% certainty that this ride was one of the most fun rides I’ve ever been on. The pre show is great, and the entire ride is just packed with pure enjoyment while also having a very long duration that I never wanted to end. It’s not the most thrilling coaster but it doesn’t need to be for what it is. This is in my opinion, the best ride at Disney world.

First Drop Harness Too short

This harness was a lot more comfortable than the other dive coaster I’ve ridden, Yukon striker. The splashdown is also a really neat addition. First drop was amazing as usual. Overall really solid ride.

Inversions Intensity Rattle

It was a good ride. It made me a little disoriented because of the rattle. I think it’s a little overrated but it’s definitely an iconic ride at Busch gardens Tampa.

Discomfort

Standard wild mouse. Was extremely uncomfortable and not very fun. Worst coaster at Busch gardens Tampa by far.

Theming Fun

This ride is super fun. I love how it’s one person to a car and the whole ride is in the dark with some space theming throughout. I’ve rode this during the Halloween party when they turn off all the lights and play creepy music and it was fantastic and even more thrilling than usual. A classic coaster at Disney that will never get old.

Airtimes First Drop Comfort

Behemoth is an airtime machine, especially when riding in the front. The first drop is more intense in the back row. Ride was very smooth and there were always three trains running so loading didn’t take too long. Restraints were comfortable and allowed for some sweet airtimes.

Theming Fun

Cobras curse is well themed and was a very fun ride overall. I thought the elevator was very unique.

Fun Duration Dead spots

Cheetah hunt was a fun multi launch coaster with a nice long duration. Besides that it was a little underwhelming. It was a good ride overall and is definitely a crowd favorite at Busch Gardens as it consistently had the highest wait times.

Inversions Intensity Layout

Montu, especially in the front row is a really great coaster. The trenches were really unique and the whole ride was intense. It is the best inverted coaster I’ve done so far.

Inversions Fun Too short

The ride was very short. It started pouring rain right before we launched and made the experience even more memorable. The launches and inversions were fun and I even got some air time at the top. The harness and leg room didn’t bother me. Pretty solid coaster overall

First Drop Pace Ejectors

I had the pleasure of riding iron gwazi 3 times in the back. The first drop had some insane ejector airtime. Every part of the ride was incredible and intense. The death roll and 0 G stall were amazing. There’s ejector airtime at several points throughout the layout. The pacing is also incredible and the ride never slows down. Iron gwazi literally tries to kill you but who cares when it’s that much fun.

Theming Fun Too short

I remember riding this a long time ago when I was very little. It was probably one of my first roller coasters I ever went on. I remember it being very short but fun nevertheless.

Discomfort

This ride was just another uncomfortable wild mouse. Very out of place being at Disney world. Can’t wait to see what they do with this plot of land now.

Airtimes Dead spots

This ride just reopened after 3 years of being closed and it did not disappoint. There are strong airtimes in the back row, and the ride isn’t that rough for an old wooden coaster. This was also the first coaster I ever rode in my childhood so it was very nostalgic. Great to have it back in operation.

Fun Discomfort

Rode this many times as a kid. Was a fun spinning wild mouse ride.
