Coaster reviews

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

Disney got their money's worth out of this ride. They built this coaster to be the best roller coaster in any Disney theme park and they absolutely nailed it. Regarding the best Disney coaster, it was razor close between this and Tron, but Guardians gets the edge for its theming alone. This ride has the best theming I've ever seen. That reverse launch is intense. But that spinning feature is really what makes this ride stand out. Going in, I did not watch a single video on this ride, so I didn't know what to expect, but it was turned out to be the biggest surprise of my trip. Disney and Vekoma both get a standing ovation for Guardians!

Theming Comfort Intensity

Oh. My. God. This ride is incredible. I was one of the lucky few who could snag an AP preview for this ride, and it was worth it. The theming, the music, the seating position, and everything about this ride are well done. Guardians still has the better theming, but it's close between this and Guardians in terms of the best Disney coaster. I know many people had issues fitting on the ride, but I'm 6'3" and could get on without problems. All I can say is wow. It's an absolute must-do when you visit MK.

Masterpiece Intensity Duration

This is, without a doubt, the best B&M invert I've ever ridden. The ride was pretty intense, and that batwing completely surprised me. And those trenches are perfectly placed throughout the layout. If you're a fan of inverted coasters, this one is right up your alley.

Airtimes Intensity Ejectors

This is hands-down the best roller coaster I've ever ridden. That first drop in the back row is the best I've experienced. The airtime and the inversions are intense. And that death roll and outer-banked wave turn are mental. Busch Gardens and RMC built this coaster to be the best in the world, and they nailed it. Get down here, ride it; it's fantastic. RMC gets a massive standing ovation for Iron Gwazi!

This is the coaster that I've ridden the most and it's actually pretty legit.

Fun Pointless

This is a kiddie coaster so I don't have much to say about it but I will say it's actually decently enjoyable.

Great family coaster

Intensity Layout Duration Rattle

I actually thought this ride was super intense. The inversions are just great and although I noticed it had a bit of a rattle to it, it did not take away from how great this ride is.

Nice surprise! Location Rattle

I know that Peter from Theme Park Crazy said that this was one of the worst coasters he's ever ridden, but believe it or not, I actually enjoyed it. If anything, this ride (at least for me) was not painful at all! The location on the edge of the water is great for a family coaster like this. Simply put, great family coaster.

Inversions Layout Headbanging Discomfort

I didn't really enjoy this coaster the first time I rode it. I found it to be a little rough and headache-inducing but I've seen many coaster fans call this ride underrated. I also admire its layout and the intensity of its inversions. While I still found it to be a rough ride, I am willing to give it another shot the next time I visit Great Adventure.

Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity Theming

This was my first B&M and it was CRAZY! You really can't talk about this coaster without bringing up that pretzel loop, by far the best inversion I've ever experienced, not just on this coaster, but on any coaster. I won't lie when I tell you that I was screaming my head off on that pretzel loop from its intensity alone. The only bad thing I have to say about this coaster is that there isn't any in-ride theming. Other than that, this coaster is truly a hidden gem at Great Adventure and you may just be surprised by it.

Theming Intensity Duration

The Walt Disney World Resort is by far my favorite theme park destination and as if it wasn't really awesome enough with Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Cosmic Rewind, Everest is truly a hidden gem. I first rode this coaster in 2016 when I was 12 years old and I was BLOWN AWAY! The theming is amazing and the ride as a whole is incredibly forceful. There's a reason my first ride on this coaster was the highlight of that trip for me. Yes, I enjoyed this coaster more than Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, which is also a great ride, but Everest is a MUST-DO when you visit Animal Kingdom. Only Cosmic Rewind outclasses Everest in my rankings, but this ride is still, without question, my second favorite at WDW. It's just awesome.

Airtimes Theming Location Rattle

This is actually a really solid coaster. I don't exactly remember the first time I rode it in 2011 when I was 8 years old but I remember that I didn't really like it the first time around because I thought it was a little janky. Now this is one of my favorite coasters at Magic Kingdom even if it bruises me up a little. Overall, solid family coaster.

Smoothness Pointless

I don't exactly remember when I rode this as the Ladybug Coaster when I was 5 years old, but I remember it being a lot of fun. As Adventureland was my home park at the time, I thought it was OK. Now that I'm a Florida resident, I've gotten into the bigger rides but I still think this is a decent family coaster.

Fun Intensity Duration Dead spots

I really don't have much to complain about this ride. That first launch is unquestionably the best one I've experienced, and I won't lie, it kind of scares me a little given how intense it is. The inversions are so well done and the theming is pretty top-notch too. The only thing I didn't really like about this ride is the fact that some of those helixes can be a little boring, but other than that, I think this is a great coaster. Believe it or not, this is my sister's favorite coaster and after my first ride in April 2016, I can definitely understand. This ride is just awesome and it's a must-do when you visit Hollywood Studios.
