Coaster reviews

Inversions Headbanging

It's a conversion of a stand-up coaster. Of course there's headbanging. I did like the inversions, though, even if they're cookie-cutter.

Intensity Smoothness

This was an OK ride. I was a bit daunted by the lay element, but once it reached the fly position, it was kinda like Superman Ultimate Flight. No rattle, despite other reviews. My ride was quite smooth. I sat in the middle so maybe that's why?

First Drop Intensity Ejectors Theming

This thing was a doozy. I got to go twice. I fucking blacked out after the first drop and the way the second hill JOLTS your vision back is divine. The turns make you feel like you're gonna fly out. It made me wanna puke at the end of the second time. It's THAT GOOD. I could go on about this Discord user traumatizing me with a ChatGPT-generated retheme of the ride (back when we didn't know it was gonna be jaguar-themed) about a little-known Disney character (from the PARKS) I liked at the time, but to save your sanity, I won't.

Theming Inversions Launch

I've been simping for the alien leader since 2021. Back then, KD still had him turned off. THANK GOD they're retheming I305 and opening Rapterra, because this means HE IS BACK. I finally got to experience the ride today, and it was a BLAST. HEARING THE ALIEN LEADER'S VOICE FOR REAL WAS A TOTAL W. The op is hilarious, the launch is amazing and the rest of the ride is a doozy. The fucking final inversion is KILLER. (in the same cadence as "I LOVE YOU KITCHEN GUN") I LOVE YOU ALIEN LEADER

Theming Fun

Nice laterals for a kiddie credit. Love the theming too, as a fan of Looney Tunes. I helped a girl overcome her fears on this ride.

Fun

Liked this one.

Fun

The back produces some good laterals.

Theming Discomfort

Every time you turn round, you feel like you're gonna fly out. Not recommended... except maybe highly recommended.

Theming Smoothness Intensity

This thing wasn't a bang like most Boomerangs, but it made my life flash before my eyes. Way too intense.

Airtimes Pace Layout

I loved this ride. Not as good as Skyrush, but up there.

Inversions Ejectors

I didn't even feel like I was exiting a B&M invert loop on the first drop. It straight up felt normal to me.

Fun Rattle

This thing is even scarier than Storm Runner. I did like the dueling aspect. I didn't get a prize for winning over the other side, however.

Inversions Headbanging

I rode this in the back. The back is rough. I would've gotten a better ride in the front, but they assigned me the back. Whatever.

Location Rattle Capacity

I heard many things about this being an elite woodie, but when I got on it yesterday, it just... didn't deliver. First of all, it was running one train. (ONE TRAIN OPS!!) Second, I thought the back seat would be the best for airtime, but instead I got rattle and only mild ejector (don't know if they stapled me or what.) I may have gotten a wheel seat or something. Later, I found out it was in the process of getting Titan Tracked. Although I do say, it was scenic at least. BTW, I got the picture, and it looks like I'm in fucking pain due to the jankness of the thing.

Theming Fun

The best part is watching the movie at the beginning, because when the "I Believe in Harvey Dent" screen appears, I shout, "I'LL TAKE THE CASE!!"

Inversions Harness Intensity Theming Discomfort

On my school trip to Great Adventure, a friend told me this ride wasn't that scary. So when I went back, I tried it. The harness is coumfy, and the pretzel loop is majestic, but the con of this ride is the FACE DOWN FEELING. Absolutely EXCRUCIATING on the brake run. It's not bad when you're in motion, however. It does feel like you're flying. Also, Brainiac in the queue looks weird AF. He should have been his DCAU incarnation.

Inversions Fun Intensity Too short

It was September 29, 2018. After pussying out of several coasters, mom decided to take me to Six Flags Great Adventure for my birthday, since I hated myself for being a scaredy-cat. We get to the park, and we head in the direction of Cyborg Cyber Spin, since I thought Vic was hot (and still kinda do.) That was closed. But we saw Batman going nearby, and I decided to try that, knowing it couldn't be that scary. I got kinda nervous in the station, but I got on the ride and it disembarked. On the lift hill, I didn't know what to think. But as soon as we went down that drop, everything changed. Those lovely inversions, the whole intensity of the thing... I had my eyes closed, but I could feel it. It was like an adrenaline boost. Totally life-changing. As we were on the brake run, I shouted nothing but praise for the ride. I felt like I were Batman. I went on it again shortly thereafter. On my next trip, I rode it 5 times. For years it was my #1. Then I rode Steel Force at Dorney and Nitro, and this ride moved downwards on my list. But you never forget your first. And this was mine.

Fun

Nice laterals for a kiddie credit.

Inversions Intensity

I first heard of this ride in 2009, when it recently had been renamed Bizarro. This was my first time hearing about the character in general. I thought all the quotes in the audio were interesting back then. But I didn't get to ride it until 9 years later. It was great. The intense inversions, especially that sea serpent in the middle, made me consider this ride a favourite. I didn't ride it again until October 2021, since it was closed on Autism Day 2019. After that, the next time I rode it was in June 2022, as Medusa. Better theming than Bizarro, TBH. This is coming from a DC nerd. It could have got rethemed to Medusa from Birdman, however. Haha.

Launch Masterpiece Ejectors

I discovered this ride back in 2018, and immediately fell in love with the sexy dudebro voice before the launch. However, I was too much of a pussy then to actually do it; so I didn't when I went in 2019. Fast forward 5 years later, and I've become a seasoned enthusiast who doesn't get the stomach drop anymore. I was still nervous to ride this ride because of the "gut punch" on launches people were talking about, but after seeing it wasn't as big as Skyrush or Candymonium in the skyline, I did it. I memorized how many seconds it took to launch (it usually happened right after the voice, David as I call him, says "Go"), but even then, I still got a gut punch. It took a few seconds for the punch to really hit me, which is when I started screaming. I still did it three times over the course of the trip (it broke down when I was in line on the second day, and when it was fixed, I waited an hour in line.) I'm ready to go on Kingda Ka now!

Fun Intensity Ejectors

This was my first new credit at Hersheypark, and I loved it! The theming makes for a better Green Lantern ride than the actual one at SFGAdv. I got a front row ride the first time, but the second day at the park, I rode in row 4 on an edge seat. I completely LOST IT while that thing was going. It was so much more amazing. I even greyed out! Even without the new restraints, I can't see why that one Wicked Twister op thought their (defunct) ride was better than Skyrush.

Discomfort Dead spots

Yes, everyone thinks the location is good. What no one remembers is the brakes JERKING YOU FORWARD every time you hit them. Plus, there are virtually no drops/laterals. May sound entitled-ish, but hey.

Theming Masterpiece Ejectors

I rode the OG Wildcat in 2019 and absolutely hated it for its jankness. Come 5 years later, and I finally went back to Hershey. This ride was one of the highlights of my day. First of all, the line wasn't that long. Second, the STATION. It feels like a Zumiez circa 2001. They have TWO DAVID HAYTERS in the park now (the announcer spiel on this and the Storm Runner voice.) So I was defo in love. The ride itself was a blast. This thing's got ejectors on par with SteVe, if not even BETTER. I know everyone considers SteVe their favourite, but honestly, with the theming, this has got to be my new #1. Yes, I am going to ride Twisted Timbers this summer. But that won't compare to WiRe.

Discomfort

I rode this with my non-verbal older brother. IT HURT!!

Launch Fun

I was always scared of this ride because of the face-down feeling, but after I rode Phobia at Lake Compounce, it was nothing. Turns out there isn't any hangtime at all. Feels like Superman at SFGAdv, but without the hangtime. My middle brother who went with me got dizzy afterwards, though.

Theming Discomfort

I love Snoopy, but DAMN! This ride HURTS!! When I went on it, I was screaming "MY THIGHS!! MY SHINS!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS EXACTLY, BUT THEY HURT!!" I was unlucky enough to sit on the right which meant I had to be SMACKED against the border every time we turned round. The only reason I do not want to tear it down is because of the theming.

Fun Ejectors Hangtime

I LOVE this ride. I was a bit scared to go on it, but it turned out to be fun as fuck. You get some unreal hangtime on the in-line twist and the pop of ejector after that is KILLER. The best ride in the park (Boulder Dash was jank; don't @ me.) Rode it 4 times.

Airtimes Inversions Ejectors

THIS THING WAS AWESOME. When even watching a POV of it has you going "OH MY GOD," you know this is a hell of a coaster. I can only compare it to Wicked Cyclone, but even BETTER. Those near-inverted turns are everything. Worth 7 hours.

Fun

It's a kiddie coaster. That's all there is to it. But I got a zen ride on it.

Airtimes Fun Smoothness

I just went on this ride today, after getting scared of the steep first drop for about a year. I LOVED it!! The drop wasn't scary at all, even in the middle (I got tricked into riding in the middle, because I thought it was the front.) The airtime was amazing and the smoothness is stellar. Even better with wet track! My current #2. (Nothing can beat Nitro!)
