Coaster reviews

Comfort Pace Disappointing!

Really isn’t as great as people make it out to be. Hard to fault but didn’t have wow factor.

Airtimes Comfort Layout

Perfect balance between intensity and fun. It is absolutely relentless.

Airtimes First Drop Intensity Rattle Too short Theming

Craziest drop ever. Back row felt like it pushed the limits. Every element is good, with the roll after the outer-bank probably being the most insane element I’ve ever done. It’s a shame that the brakes hit hard and all that momentum is killed so quickly. If it was longer, it’d be world class.

Location Comfort Fun Rattle Reliability

This ride does what it says on the tin; it gives the simulation of flight. It isn't intense or fast, but it doesn't feel like it needs to be. Just live in the moment and fly.

Location Intensity Layout Dead spots

Unique layout with some very intense moments, but there are multiple dead spots that really kill the pacing for me.

First Drop Smoothness Ejectors

Never felt so ecstatic on a coaster! The hills had powerful ejector air, as well as some floater. There was a particular hill with extreme ejector air straight into a series of banked turns which was my absolute highlight. It was very smooth. The last two hills and the middle section felt weak compared to the rest of the ride though, hence the 4.5 stars.

Theming Fun Intensity Too short Airtimes

A family coaster which is intense enough for thrill seekers and tame enough for the kids. The central piece of theming is very imposing, and the theming is consistently good throughout. The pre-show is a nice cherry on top. The smoke in the station really does make you feel like you are being sacrificed to the Wicker Man. The turns had AMAZING laterals but the hills were lacking the airtime I expected, even in the back seat.

Theming Inversions Smoothness Too short

I really liked this mini dive coaster! It had intense inversions and banked turns, compared to larger models such as Sheikra. It also had a decent airtime hill! The theming is obviously some of the best in the world. It is a truly beautiful coaster and it is a pleasure to ride. Sure it isn't huge or long in duration, but the ride itself is top notch.

Airtimes Pace Fun

So much fun! Doesn't get boring after re-rides. The airtime and laterals were decent and the pacing was excellent!

Launch Fun Layout Intensity

This wasn't anywhere near as intense as I was expecting, but it still gave a pleasant and fun ride. The layout is pretty unique.

Airtimes Launch Intensity Too short

Very intense. I feel satisfied every time. I preferred Stealth to Kingda Ka. The launch is punchy, the incline is sharp and forceful, the twists are sharp, the airtime at the tophat is insane at the front and back, the drop is insane and the bunny hop packs strong airtime. Overall, smooth and intense coaster, very comfortable and visually stunning. The theme is perfect and the countdown is class.

Airtimes Fun Layout Lap Bar

I only rode this in the back seat. The airtime was ridiculous for a coaster of it's age. The reason I mention the lap bar as a con is because I lifted about a foot out of my seat on one of the airtime hills and the bar lifted with me. The lap bar did absolutely nothing. If it was locked and I raised a foot out of my seat, then great. The coaster passes through many tunnels through a gorgeous mountain and the onride brakeman added both to the vibe and the decent speed at which the layout was traversed, unlike Rutschebanen at Bakken that is now fitted with automatic brakes. With locked lap bars, this would go up to a 4.5 stars rating for me.

Capacity Fun Duration

It isn't as rough as people say. It has some decent double drops and hills. The laterals are also good.

Airtimes Pace Fun

Excellent pacing, with decent laterals and airtime. Rated it 4 instead of 4.5 just because I prefer water side to fire side!

Airtimes Smoothness Ejectors Dead spots Intensity

The hills had great airtime. The banked turns were forceless and pretty dead. It doesn't deserve to be a top 50 coaster, but it is a nice woodie for sure.

Inversions Hangtime Duration Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

It isn't an awful ride. It has a weird layout, with 5 heartline rolls at the end - being turned over 4 times in a row is hilarious. The inversions are decent. The ride just feels a bit slow, the trains aren't comfortable and it is pretty rough. Overall, an OK ride that hasn't aged well.

Theming Smoothness Disappointing! Layout

Apart from the pretzel loop, the layout is pretty bland. The coaster is nice and smooth with awesome theming though, with plenty of near misses. Overall, it is enjoyable, but the experience didn't live up to how imposing the ride looks before you get on it.

Nice surprise!

I hate the standard SLC clones. This was a lot of fun, though. I can remember being very impressed by the smoothness and the intensity.

Location Headbanging Tear it down! Pointless

I wasn't even smiling on this coaster. It hurt, it was very uncomfortable and it wasn't fun. This was my first Arrow looper. I am not looking forward to riding another. Probably the worst coaster I have ever ridden.

Nice surprise! Pace Intensity

I was blown away by Hair Raiser! I had an annual pass to Ocean Park when I was living in Hong Kong. I would go to the park just to ride Hair Raiser on some days. It is very intense and every single element is perfect. I haven't got anything bad to say about this coaster. If I could select more than three "pros" to the ride, I would! It deserves to be up there with the other legendary B&M coasters of the world. It is also built on a mountain surrounded by the sea!

Nice surprise! Dead spots

The first half of the ride was fantastic. I laughed so hard at the launch into the airtime hill. I was pleasantly surprised by the airtime and intensity. My only problem is the finale being less intense than the rest of the coaster.

Airtimes Intensity Ejectors Dead spots

The first drop in the back seat was great. The airtime over the first hill was comparable to the first hill on El Toro. The stengel dive was fun and not too intense. The positives during the helices were surprisingly intense, only let off by the twisted hills out of them. The twisted hills were the dead spots of the ride, with very low forces on the body. The final 3 ejector hills were great and the final turn was nice and intense. Overall, a great solid ride with a nice variation of elements.

Inversions Nice surprise! Layout

A very good inverted coaster with a decent launch and intense inversions. It isn't rough like other Vekoma coasters I have ridden and had a unique layout. I was very impressed with this one! The speed and intensity is maintained throughout.

Intensity Too short

Much more intense than expected. It is a really thrilling coaster, but over in a flash.

Pace Theming

The ride doesn't let up! It maintains intensity throughout and is a good fun overall experience. Not a dull moment. The airtime wasn't insane, but satisfying enough for a good wooden coaster. A bit rough. But tolerable. The laterals were nice and intense.
