Coaster reviews

Airtimes Capacity Comfort

Wow, this ride was spectacular! The 200 plus foot drop off the ravine, the ejector bunny hills, the interaction with Thunderbolt, and the comfortable restraints made this one of the best rides I have ever ridden. My only complaint is the long walk from the ride’s exit to its entrance. That made lapping the ride a bit tedious.

Harness Discomfort

The old restrains were miserably uncomfortable, and they completely ruined what could have been an enjoyable ride. I hope the updated 2024 restraints make this ride fun.

Comfort Launch Fun

Much to my surprise, Verbolten was my favorite ride at Busch Gardens. The launches packed a punch, the drop track was a blast, and the theming was fun. This ride was pure fun and was a nice change of pace from the many derivative B&M’s at the park.

Airtimes Smoothness Harness

The Grizzly is a spectacular classic woodie. The Gravity Group did an amazing job refurbishing this ride. It’s smooth with great pops of airtime.

Airtimes Comfort Layout

GCI makes fantastic wooden coasters. This one was had just the right amount of roughness for me. I’ll take a ride like this over a typical B&M coaster any day!

Airtimes Pace Layout

Best ride at Dollywood. Yes, I enjoyed it more than Lightning Rod, which was an amazing ride too. I am a sucker for GCI and Gravity Group wooden coasters. Those manufacturers make such fun rides.
