Airtimes Layout Duration Theming Dead spots Lap Bar

Twisted Colossus is an excellent RMC with great ejector airtime, a long duration because it is a Mobius loop layout, and other great elements, such as the original zero-g stall. However, there is one large dead spot, that being the lift hill on the green track. The RMC lap bars are also not my favorite, not because of the shin guards, but NO GRAB BAR! I love using the grab bars most restraints provide in order to hold up the restraint from coming down throughout the ride. I also measure the forces each ride offers with my Apple Watch's Ride Forces app. In this case, I had to hold on to the metal bars on each side of the restraint in order to get an analysis of the forces. It is also hard to get a duel, as on my first ride, I did not get one, but on my second ride, I did get one. I am actually considering myself lucky, as most people do not even get duels at all! Theming was a minimal steampunk theme as it was in the park's Screampunk district, which is typical of a Six Flags park. It is a close second in the park, after another one of Alan Schilke's creations, X2.

First Drop Location Duration Dead spots Layout Reliability

The Big Apple Coaster was better because of the new Premier Rides Sky Rocket trains. However, these are the Sky Rocket trains with comfort collars, so there is some mild headbanging, but not deal-breaking. The first drop is divided into two drops: an initial small drop and significantond large drop. You do get some good floater airtime on the second drop. The location and views are the best I have ever seen on a coaster, out of my 21 credits. TOGO couldn't decide on whether the Big Apple Coaster would be a multi-looper or an airtime-centric hyper, so they decided to combine together. The end result is just a pointless layout with many dead spots. The coaster also tends to close down during high winds, which happens quite often in Las Vegas. It is a decent ride for what it is.

First Drop Fun Intensity Too short Theming Reliability

I have ridden X2 two times, both in the front inside seat. It was not a rough experience (though as I said, sat in the front inside seat). The first drop is probably the best I have experienced out of my 21 credits. It is just a purely insane ride experience that is the only one-of-its-kind in the Western Hemisphere. The reliability is garbage, as said by many others. The music and fireball effects have not been operating during both of the times I visited SFMM. The duration of the ride is a little short, but overall, the ride is #1 of 21 in my credit rankings.
