Wow. This thing should 100% be illegal, but I'm so glad it's not at the same time. It is so intense, and it has fantastic transitions from crushing positives to floaty negatives. The only con is that the ride's leg slamming is really bad, oh and it also pulls 3 hour waits because of trash capacity. I can look past the cons though because this is one of the best rides I’ve ever been on. Come out and ride this stupid thing! :)

Oh. My. God. I LOVE Xcelerator! The ride is beautifully presented in the corner of the park, and the views offered from the midways and queue are fantastic. Furthermore, the ride has extremely comfortable seats and restraints. The ride begins with the launch: WOW! It is so intense and genuinely feels insane every time. You rise into the tophat giving fantastic airtime, once through the tophat; you will whiz through two overbanked turns. The speed alone causes me to greyout on the first one, while the second one gives good whip through it. From there you head into the brakes, which finishes your ride. I honestly consider the brakes a ride element just because of how fast you slow down, it’s awesome. Xcelerator is AMAZING; every time I ride it I come off with a huge smile on my face and the desire to ride again because it is just pure joy for me, which is not a feeling I get on any other ride. This is all why Xcelerator is my #1! :)

Hangtime is a great ride at Knott's. I really enjoy the airtime, positive g's, and the split second of hangtime this ride offers (Pretty ironic, huh). The only cons are the shakiness this ride has at some elements, specifically the corkscrew, and the trash capacity. Everything else is pretty smooth and good.

Silver Bullet is a great ride. It has crazy intensity and is so much fun to ride, now this con is not listed but this ride is very inconsistent; this coaster runs like a dream in the summer, and downright horrendously in the winter. Watch out for that and you will enjoy the absurdly intense experience on Silver Bullet

Very intense and good ride for a family spinner. The ride has pretty poor capacity and it is rough. The trains are pretty bad too, but the ride is worth it though because of that intensity (it is definitely overstated though)

GhostRider is a great ride. Although I am typically disappointed by my morning rides, I found my last ride to be pretty great. The ride has fun airtime and some wicked lateral moments. The only downside to this fun coaster is the trash capacity, while it has certainly gotten better; it is still far from ideal, but I certainly enjoy my rides on this coaster when it is not 90 minutes.

(This is a review for the Celebration's Bolt, but since it's not available to review, I put it here): Bolt is a very good ride, which was quite surprising considering the mixed reviews I've heard about the coaster. You may have a challenge riding it because of its location, and even more of challenge because this is one of the most temper-mental rides I have ever experienced. I got 2 rides on bolt, on the 2nd day of the cruise; that was all I got because the ride was either down for wind, rain, or its annual maintenance. The maintenance specifically kept the ride closed the ENTIRE cruise except for the ONE SEA DAY it was open. There is no warning when you book your cruise (Or at least, I never saw one); so get your ride ASAP. While on the topic of trying to ride this temper-mental beast, I would recommend booking as many reservations as possible: this will allow you to ride whenever you please and cancel the other reservations (This is an especially important tip on sea days, which cause Bolt to be most temper-mental). The ride itself is very good. The first launch is just to get you up to speed and then you approach the turnaround, which gives surprising positives which caused me to grey out (Granted I was very tired because I waited at least 2 hours for Bolt to open). The first hill gives decent floater and the second gave slightly weaker floater. The final turnaround is the only dead spot on the ride, but if you are on the back car on the second lap it will feel as if you are dangling out of the car. After the turnaround you hit your second launch which was surprisingly forceful and complete the layout one more time before returning to the station, ending your ride. The ride overall is surprisingly smooth considering how loud the "rattle" is, and I didn't have any problem with shakiness. Because of the rides surprising forces, yes I do recommend this ride. Maybe don't book a cruise purely for the ride, but if you are choosing a ship anyway I would absolutely do one with a Bolt clone, and if you are on a ship with one, I would say my 2+ hour wait was worth it to ride (What else was I gonna do on a cruise, eat the whole time?). While this is one of the most unreliable rides on the planet, I am happy to say that I enjoyed the very good experience on Bolt.

One the most pathetic rides I've ever done. Yet another forceless B&M looper in California *cough* Bullet *cough*. All this ride does is throw you into forceless inversions and has one decent zero-g-roll thing that was definitely the best element on the ride. Also I rarely list theming as a Con but this was probably one of the most pathetic additions I've ever seen. The ride was just plopped down with literally nothing to accompany it; the ride doesn't even have a real station, just proves my point about how cheap and trash Seaworld parks are..

Probably one of the only times I was happy to see the terrible Premier skyrocket trains on a ride. This coaster honestly wasn't as bad as I was expecting, it just didn't do anything. The ride is almost entirely forceless, the only reason this ride has a decent rating is because of the dive loop inversion, it is a bizarre experience getting flipped upside down like that and it was extremely intense. Just sucks that it's on one of the worst coasters in Vegas.

Fun ride with awesome hangtime and airtime. The lap bars are terrible though as you're always stapled and hanging down from them is not comfortable. The ride also has a couple jolts that are not very pleasant either. Still a good ride though.

What a nice and extremely intense Arrow. I really enjoyed this coaster but no way am I paying $60 to ride this again. (The $60 is for price of admission, not the ride itself, still very expensive).

Very fun ride that is intense as all the other Boomerangs, I found it to be pretty smooth as well. The lapbar sucks though; it is literally a brick of metal jetting into your stomach, and even though it was a walk on; we had waited maybe 5 minutes for the ride to begin because the operations were just horrendous.

Very fun ride, maybe not as intense as I had originally expected but certainly still a great ride to add and boast to my credit count. The ride would be significantly more enjoyable without the harness though (Please remove it).

Honestly not sure what was going on with the story: it was just stupid. The capacity on this ride is also horrendous, this was probably one of my longer waits at Seaworld. I did enjoy the experience and honestly found it more intense than both Emperor and Eel, but frankly it's skippable and just made no sense.

Honestly not sure why people love these sky rockets II's. I was not a big fan when I rode this, the best element was the backwards launch and everything else just fell flat. The capacity on this ride is also trash, I only rode it once because of this: what a shame.

One of the best coasters in the worst park I've ever been to. This ride is the only reason I'd ever go back and it makes sense. The airtime is great and the theming is also very cool. Not a major pro but I'd also like to mention that the capacity on this ride is fantastic for a family coaster: 3 trains and unload & load stations, I went the day after Christmas and the most the wait ever got up to was 60 minutes; which is insane for the park's most popular (and arguably best coaster).

This was such a fun ride, and then cheap Cedar Fair decided to ruin- er "refurbish" it by hiring KUMBAK?! I don't care what kind of deal they offered, every. single. project they've touched has turned into a disaster that eventually closed.. AND THIS ONE PROBABLY WON'T EVEN OPEN! The intensity and launch were fantastic, and it is such a shame that likely nobody will be able to experience this gem ever again. Even if it does reopen, it will have bad restraints, will somehow be rougher than the OG, and will just close like the rest of the sad projects Kumbak destroyed. Shame on you Cedar Fair, cost-cutting on your coasters was I thing I thought you'd never do..

Wow.. a small scale kiddie ride is better than Coast Rider. Didn't see that coming. This is a pretty cute little kids coaster, it looks absolutely beautiful with the theming and colors plus the kids seem to really enjoy this ride. It was certainly not built for me, but even I enjoyed this tame little kids coaster.

Well, this is the worst coaster I've ever been on.. It just feels like Knott's and MACK are trolling us with this horrendous coaster. Bad lapbars, atrocious pacing, ugly colors. The ride is pointless too, we already have a bunch of family coasters and lateral coasters. There is nothing unique this ride offers, it HAS TO GO.

This ride is just so cute. It's one of the longest in the park and I just love the short little tour it gives you of Fiesta Village. Absolutely not worth more then a station wait but I always hit this ride up if it is. Capacity is trash though, maybe one of the worst crews in the park (Honestly Fiesta Village entirely might be home to the worst crews in the U.S). Fun ride that I always make a point to do if there's no wait though.

I think this might be my new guilty pleasure coaster. I had way too much fun on this thing; I loved every second of my ride and it truly was one of the better rides of my day at Knott's. It wasn't even supposed to open but did by chance with TWO TRAINS, which was absolutely shocking because usually Knott's LOVES to run 1 train on this thing. Also huge shoutout to the crew at Pony Express, easily one of the best crews I saw on my visit to California, dispatches were at most 90 seconds EVERY cycle, which made our FULL QUEUE wait just 30 minutes. Do NOT overlook this coaster because "it's a short family ride", I waited 30 minutes and enjoyed every bit of those 25 seconds.

Weakest coaster at Magic Mountain - No doubt. The ride is basically just a weaker version of literally any other B&M in the park. It has a nasty rattle, and is just not worth your time. I can't even remember the last time I rode this, it's just that mid.

(FYI: This review is Forward Superman). Not a big fan of forwards to be honest, I thought the ride was pretty mid and just shot you up into the sky and back. Which is kind of crazy because backwards does the same thing but I like it significantly more. Still, RIP Superman, it'll be missed. :(

Fantastic ride. The ride is pretty graceful and very floaty the entire time. I absolutely love that pretzel loop as it is likely the most intense element I have ever experienced. It's so hard to rank this and X2 because they're both just so fantastic. Come out and ride Tatsu, it's a fantastic ride. :)

Goldrusher is 100% my guilty-pleasure at Magic Mountain. I have a soft spot for simple family coasters and this absolutely fits that bill. The ride is a fantastic tour of the mountain, Full Throttle, and Superman (RIP). Otherwise, the ride doesn't do much other than give some decent laterals, still a fun ride that I would recommend simply because it's fun. :)

If it weren't for the fact that this ride is rumored to close, I would've skipped it. It's a fun ride that pulls decent forces, but is certainly outdated. You don't get much swing because the turns are quite overbanked, and you commonly have to wait quite a bit to ride this because Ninja consistently runs just 1 train (Even on busy days). Usually I wouldn't recommend rides like this, but because it will likely close soon (Especially with Superman now gone), please ride this thing before it is too late.

Extremely historical ride, but it is beyond outdated. The best element is of course the vertical loop which frankly the only reason I ride this. This coaster is fun, and it is worth your time if you have enough, but it pulls ridiculous waits because it commonly runs one train, even on busy days. I do recommend the ride for the historical significance, not much else though.

Probably the most mid ride at Magic Mountain. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy this coaster, but it just has the same qualities that better coasters already had. This ride combines the dueling element of TC with the launches of Full Throttle and it is fun, but not as good as either of those coasters. Hit this ride up if you have the time, but it is absolutely not a priority for me.
