Coaster reviews
-
Airtimes Fun
This was the other coaster featured in that simulator. It was as hype as that thing made it out to be! I loved the airtime for a wooden (hybrid, mind you... pre-RMC!) coaster.
-
Duration Headbanging
This was a short yet uncomfortable ride. It's a piece of history, though, which means I can't go too harsh on it.
-
Fun Dead spots
It was a fun little mine train. I'll say nothing more.
-
Airtimes Fun Rattle
I knew this ride and Gemini from a kiddie ride simulator at one of my local malls, so imagine my excitement to ride it for real! The one thing the kiddie ride didn't simulate was the rattle, but the ride feels so much better in person than on that thing.
-
First Drop Rattle Dead spots
This ride was fun when I was a kid, but over the years, it got rough. But that drop was still stellar even then. RMC's version is better.
-
Theming Headbanging Disappointing! Discomfort
Fuck this ride. I was in eternal pain the whole time.
-
Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity
For a GIB, this sure was a hit! Too bad it got sent to SFNE and became a laughingstock.
-
Rattle
This ride sucked even when I was a kid. Rough-ass garbage.
-
Discomfort
This ride was way too rough.
-
First Drop Intensity Discomfort
When I rode this for the first time, I thought I was falling to my death on the first drop. However, it's gotten a bit rough over the years. Not as bad as Viper, though.
-
Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Harness
I loved the heck out of Railblazer at CGA, so I was excited to try WW. It really delivered! That first drop was a punch, and the airtimes were hitting hard. My #4 right now.
-
Fun Harness
I waited 3 years to ride this thing, and when I finally did, it was... eh. Not the new gen Chiller I thought it would be. At least it's fun.
-
Fun Intensity Headbanging
This ride was fun when I first rode it, but my god, the headbanging has gotten more prominent over the years. I always skip this one due to that, even if it's intense.
-
Fun Masterpiece Ejectors
I wasn't expecting RMC to be the breakout star of the '10s. Sure, I heard numerous good things about New Texas Giant and Iron Rattler, but this thing right here made me believe in RMC. The dueling aspect provides a fun, competitive angle to the ride, and the ejectors are great. My #1.
-
Location Intensity Smoothness
That pretzel loop is everything. 'Nuff said.
-
Launch Intensity Too short
This ride literally transformed me into an enthusiast, back in July 1997. It was my first coaster over 100 ft, and that launch prepared me for life. Those commercials were badass. I truly felt faster than a speeding bullet.
-
Theming Dead spots
I happened to be one of the first riders on this thing. Only rode it because I had time to spare. I didn't even know it'd just opened. Cute ride, but nothing special. Just dead spots.
-
Inversions Rattle
The inversions on this thing are top-notch, but the rattle. Not as bad as some other coasters I've rode, but it's made a presence since my first ride 19 years ago.
-
Fun Dead spots
Even for a Vekoma kids coaster, it's quite fun. But it lacks variety.
-
Inversions Intensity Discomfort
Even in '98, the restraint system on a stand-up coaster was cumbersome. I still adore the techno music in the station, though.
-
Location Pace Fun
I remember this being in a Kidsongs video when I was little, and I had to try it! It's not as fast as it was to me back then, but it's still fun and in a prime, woodsy spot.
-
Location Fun Dead spots
Still an all-time classic. Not too intense, not too fast, but just all-around fun, except with a few boring straight sections.
-
I don't even remember anything about this ride, except that I went on it all the time as a kid.
-
First Drop Airtimes
I remember going to the park on spring break and waiting almost an hour to ride the new ride. The drop was fun, but the airtime has disappeared with each ride since.
-
Fun
It's a fun little coaster. Don't remember much about it, though.
-
Launch Intensity Hangtime Too short
This has a better launch than Superman. I wish it were around when I was a kid.
-
Fun
I was like 12 in 1999 when I went on this ride. I just remember thinking it was a time-killer. Have never been on it since. Guess it was really underwhelming.
-
Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity
I first went on this when I was 9 years old in 1996. I remember going on it and humming "Disco Train" from Donkey Kong Country 2. Nice compact ride with killer inversions and G-forces. I miss the entire Gotham City Backlot area.
-
Theming Pace Fun Rattle
I caught this in its Terminator days one July of 2009. I admit, I was pretty impressed with its theming. The actual ride was a lot of fun; it didn't have much rattle as it does now, but I've noticed it on re-rides in subsequent years. Not in the top 40, but whatever.
