Not a noticeable difference in experience between the two tracks, so I'll copy the same review from the other side: "I liked these two even more than the KD version. Excellent pops of airtime, the first drops felt even better, and overall, these two were super smooth. The capacity on it is incredible too, since they can fill two whole trains each time. Unfortunately, the red side ride I got did not race, and they weren't able to time it accordingly. The blue side ride I experienced got back on track, and we had an entertaining race. 3/5 stars"

Another Flight of Fear ride that was really enjoyable and just as good as Kings Dominion. I really like the location for this one, being completely indoors and nice to get away from a hot summer day. This, unfortunately, results in the longest line at the park, but it's a great option when you need a break. The theming is also excellent and on par with Kings Dominion. My queue felt a lot longer in the Fast Lane at Kings Island compared to KD, and I felt like they could have shortened it a bit, but it wasn't a bad wait with the great operations. It's another spaghetti bowl type layout, which isn't great but also not bad either. This one has a pretty momentum-killing brake run halfway through. You almost come to a complete stop, which seemed unnecessary when Kings Dominion didn't slow down that badly. Overall, a great ride that I would ride again! 3.5/5 stars

I've ridden the version at Kings Dominion, and this iteration was worse. It still had a very nice, punchy launch to start, and it's a great coaster to step up in thrills. The problem is I got stuck on the brake run midway through for over a minute, which means the capacity was terrible. It really kills the pace when you just have to sit there. The KD version had a burst of fire for the theming at the same spot I was stuck, but this one didn't do it at all. I may have gotten extremely unlucky, and someone got stuck either getting off or getting on, but I think KI should have done better. 3/5 stars

This was a lot of fun and probably my favorite coaster in the kids' area out of the 4. I'm used to thrilling boomerangs that are rough, so it was great to experience a more tame concept that wasn't rough at all. The first drop isn't as intense as a boomerang drop, but I was surprised by how much speed this one generated during the first turn. It's a pretty short layout, so if the line gets very long, you might not get as much value. It was a lot of fun going backwards as well. I definitely would not ride the other 3 coasters in the area, but if I'm at Kings Island again, this one might convince me to pop in a get another ride. 2.5/5 stars

This family coaster has a relaxing layout, and the paint job on it looks fantastic. I still think they should either consider retracking it or tearing it out for a new ride. The headbanging is just as bad on this one as it was when I rode Kiddy Hawk at Carowinds. It's just enough to annoy you but not enough to feel pain where it would be unsafe for a child. It also has a horrible rattle, and I thought that with the paint job, they would have considered the rattle and fixed it up better. 1.5/5 stars

Another iteration of Woodstock Express at Kings Island, and the same review still applies. It's a great family coaster and a step up from the kiddie rides at the park. It has some pops of airtime, and the loose lap bar makes it a fun ride. I wouldn't ride it again with so many other better coasters at Kings Island, but it still has a great purpose in this park. 2/5 stars

Maybe it's because I only got one ride on it but surprisingly this is my favorite dive coaster now out of the 3 I've ridden (SheiKra and Griffon). What it lacks in height and smoothness, it more than makes up for it with a more unique layout. I think my biggest gripe about the other 2 is they throw in Immelmann inversions too much and the layout becomes stale. This one still has a fantastic drop albeit a bit shorter but more steep and it gave me fantastic whip in the back. I was also fortunate to ride in the middle of my row so I barely experienced rattle. Maybe if I get on this more I will get hit with the roughness but for now it's completely fine albeit a bit concerning that it's brand new. That zero-G roll into the sharp turn is unique and nothing I've experienced before. Fantastic addition to my home park! 4/5 stars

I love these models and actually look forward to grabbing these credits at the parks I go to. This was my 4th one ever and it happened to be the first time I was facing forward on the first drop giving me a new ride experience compared to the others. It's random how many inversions you get, and I didn't get too many, but at least it flips you near the brink of a full rotation, so it always feels out of control either way. The capacity was abysmal, though. I had to Flash Pass it, and it took over an hour in the app to be ready. I feel so bad for the people waiting in the sun. They need better shade in the queue area. 3.5/5 stars

I love the Sky Rocket II models and this one was the best so far. I liked it because the station was indoors and had a nice aesthetic look to it compared to Tigris and Tempesto being outdoors with no theming. It's also the first one I've ridden that felt like the backwards launch almost went too far. The other two I had ridden in the back row seemed to go up the track but not past it. This one went far enough to almost catch in the mid-point which is bizarre. The hangtime is always amazing and I love how intense it gets on the backwards launch. It's just a ton of fun to ride. I would lap it more, but the capacity is pretty bad. 4/5 stars

This is probably one of the more underrated RMC coasters I've ridden. I loved the first drop, and I think the angle to the right as you fall gives a unique feeling of G-forces horizontally and vertically. The inversions are also great, and I was impressed with this layout. It was able to blend sharp airtime and drops with inversions, so it doesn't feel one-dimensional. This one ended up being my favorite coaster on the entire northwest trip. 4.5/5 stars

This was the biggest surprise of the park for me. I expected to be in a ton of pain and have a horrible experience, but I had an overall positive time on this one. There may have been an inversion or two that were a bit too sharp, resulting in slight headbanging, but overall, it wasn't painful. The inversions are quite intense and are on the same level as the smoother B&M inverts. I don't think it's better than any particular B&M inverted coaster I've ridden, but I don't feel like they should tear it out unless they've made a significant investment to improve on this model. 3.5/5 stars

B&M Floorless are usually my least favorite models by the company in the intense category but this one was quite a bit better than I expected. It was way smoother than coasters that gave me issues like Kumba/Dominator/Kraken. I experienced the least amount of headbanging, and the inversions were really well done. I was also impressed with the pacing, and it didn't seem to have any dead spots. The first drop is a bit too shallow, and I wish it were sharper, but for the most part, it stayed intense after that. I also have to give props to the color scheme. Not sure if it received a paint job recently, but it looks well done. 3.5/5 stars

Boomerangs are pretty hit-or-miss for me on the pain scale, but at least they're consistently very intense. This one might have been the most painful I've been on, but it still wasn't overwhelming (it does hurt the experience a bit, though). The problem is always the inversions in the middle near the top. They designed them just a bit too sharp when they should have used more land to space them out. The backwards loop is such a wild trip, though, and I enjoy that part in the second half. If they could fix the headbanging, this would be much better. 3/5 stars

Weirdly, I rode this same model at Fun Spot America in Kissimmee, but this one rates a full star lower. I was excited because I loved the Fun Spot version and had a blast with it, but I blame strict rules at Six Flags for not having an enjoyable experience. The line wasn't long at all, yet they forced me to ride with multiple kids. This model works best when you're by yourself and on one of the edge seats because the counterbalance weight makes you spin like crazy. We barely spun on this version, and it was a one-and-done for me. 2.5/5 stars

A step up from Roadrunner Express as a family coaster, but still doesn't do much. The train length is crazy, and I've never seen a coaster designed that way. This allows for pretty nice capacity, although I rode this one fairly early, and I'm not sure how big the line got as the day went on. Unfortunately, it just meanders around after the first lift hill and doesn't do much, even when I sat near the back, but it's an additional option for young riders or riders who want to avoid intense coasters. 1.5/5 stars

My favorite one in the park! The first drop seems crazy. I've ridden a single rail before with the SFMM model but this first drop had something special to it. Maybe because after the lift hill it falls into that dip with a quick turnaround then feels like a sharp first drop. The rest of the ride is crazy intense with a lot of ejector moments. I also enjoy the inversions but they didn't particularly stand out with all the other RMCs I've ridden. Yes it has a slight rattle and seems a bit short but those two aren't enough for me to penalize my review or experience. Users also marked this as bad capacity but I don't remember a long line and the ops were doing just fine that day with a 2nd train being dispatched normally when I was approaching the station after my ride. 4.5/5 stars

Captain Coaster's users are spot on with the pros and cons of this coaster. It is one of the more intense wooden coasters I've ever been on. It's super relentless the entire way through and with the loose lapbars it felt like I was constantly out of my seat. But the #1 con is the exact problem I have. For it to be as intense and incredible as it is, it needs way more love and tender care with the track. I really hope they retrack decent portions of this because the rattle slightly over takes my enjoyment of it. I like a rough woodie but if my teeth are chattering then that's a problem. It could bump up half a star if they take care of this problem. 4/5 stars

Such an underrated invert! It doesn't have as many inversions as some of the top-tier inverts but this one packs a punch! I especially like how intense the second half is where you do a quick half-batwing flip, then dip near the water, and do a fast turn around to complete the set of elements. The theming isn't the best but the way it incorporated the water and fountain with the quick turnaround was a great touch. I also have to give it props for capacity since there was no wait and they were churning out riders quickly. If it had the top speed like Montu, Afterburn, etc. it could belong in the same discussion but it's still an above average invert and I put it over the typical Batman clones. 4/5 stars

For being one of the first B&M coasters ever built, this one has aged remarkably well! It's quite a bit shorter in height than I'm used to with their other floorless coasters, but it still has great speed with a couple of nice inversions. The capacity on this one is also solid, and it never had a line all day. The headbanging is a bit normal on models like this, but I didn't experience as much pain as I did on the more intense versions. Overall, a solid coaster that I enjoyed multiple times. 3.5/5 stars

I prefer the one at Six Flags Great America only slightly but this is fantastic and I'm glad there's another one across the country. The theming is pretty cool for when it was first released and I feel the history behind it with the theme song. The first drop wasn't as sharp as Six Flags but maybe that's just in my head. The double loops are always so intense on an arrow and this is no exception. The double corkscrews can be a bit rough if you're not bracing properly but I didn't have any issues on this one. Overall a fun coaster and I rode it multiple times. 3/5 stars

Just a very mid wooden rollercoaster to me. The first drop is alright, but then the momentum dies at the very top. It doesn't have much airtime and kind of meanders around, but if it gets lines away from other coasters, then I guess it fills its purpose. It wasn't as rough as I expected, either, compared to rides like Hurler. 2.5/5 stars

Never been a fan of mouse coasters. This one reminds me the most of the one at Hersheypark. Seemed a bit more janky than a typical mouse coaster, but had some random pops of airtime. If you like mouse coasters, this should fill your needs. 2/5 stars

Just a very typical kiddie coaster seen at all parks. This one had nice landscaping compared to some of the cheaper parks, but wasn't as immersive as a theme park coaster. 1/5 stars

A supplementary coaster to Lucy's Crabbie Cabbies as a kiddie coaster. I was expecting the wood version of Woodstock Express I saw across the chain, but this one was metal. The first drop is okay, but the pacing is abysmal. It almost gets stuck at the top and comes to a complete crawl. It's a kiddie coaster, so I can't complain, but it should have been designed better. 1.5/5 stars

I loved this one. Not as good as ArieForce One, but it's the better stand out coaster compared to White Lightning and was well worth the spontaneous visit after SeaWorld. The first drop is pretty sharp and generates a lot of speed. I shared one of my rides with a person who didn't know it was going to do an inversion, so it was a hilarious reaction to hear her go crazy. The double down after the inversion is probably the only spot that is a bit too much. Maybe if they retrack that portion or do something, but it's taken way too quickly (still a nasty airtime moment though). The whole thing is chocked with airtime and is a blast to enjoy. Even the train is kind of cute, how it looks strapped with dynamite. My only suggestion, if they have the extra money, is to retrack some parts so the whole community can enjoy it. I can endure the pain, but it's not something I can lap for half an hour straight either.

I felt like this one was a step up from the Fun Spot Atlanta version. It's janky like their other mid-tier steel coasters but in a great way. I got excellent airtime on this. It has sharp drops and quick turns throughout the layout. My only complaint is how ridiculous the location of this one is. I couldn't even find the coaster at first, but it's a second plot of land where you have to cross an active street and walk around a residential building. I gotta give props to Fun Spot for maximizing land area by splitting the park but it's very confusing without a map. 2.5/5 stars
