Coaster reviews

Theming Location Intensity Headbanging Harness

Pros: Surprisingly intense in some of the turns, especially in the second half; the forest and spooky town creates a nice setting, you feel that your feet will crack against the roofs; the station is also well themed. Cons: The Vekoma OTS Restraint causes headbanging in the snappier transitions.

Theming Rattle

A pretty standard Wild Mouse, though the block brakes did not activate during the lateral-focused section, so it was actually quite fun.

Inversions Nice surprise! Launch Rattle

Front Row Review The drop after the first launch offers a lot of airtime. The launches themselves are very punchy. The inversion has a lot of hangtime, especially backwards. The spiral is surprisingly intense. However, there is a slight rattle near the station.

First Drop Inversions Pace Rattle Dead spots Intensity

Pros: Fast Paced, many cool inversions with a range of forces and massive airtime on the first drop and off the midcourse brakes. Cons: Very consistent rattle that results in headbanging. Towards the front the ride made me nauseous, but I didn't grey out.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Dead spots

Pros: One of the better Mine Train coasters I have done. It has airtime, positives and nice interactions with Silver River Flume. There is a small amount of Arrow Dynamics jank, but it doesn't ruin the ride. Cons: You will spend more time on the lift hills than on the lift hill of Shambhala, a hyper coaster. 9/10 much better than expected.

First Drop Theming Nice surprise! Rattle

Pros: Considering this is a family coaster, the first drop was very steep and quite intense. The lap bars helped in giving comfortable airtime and softened the rattle. Operations were fast and 4 trains ran at a time (2x2). Cons: Very rattly, even more so than the Grand National. There were not very many duelling moments and a lack of airtime. 8/10

Airtimes First Drop Masterpiece

Pros: The lift hill is fast, giving you less time to worry about the ride. The first drop delivers constant airtime, and the hills after do. The 8-shaped helix delivers the positives, the splashdown is a nice and short brake and the ride ends with a turnaround and some more airtime hills. Cons: are you really looking for cons about this masterpiece? 10/10 this should be your bucket list coaster

Theming Location Launch Rattle Headbanging Too short

Pros: Great theming and a nice preshow, leading to a powerful and intense launch (0-83.9mph in 3.5) and an airtime hill. The inline twist delivers great hangtime, too. Cons: There is a lot of rattle after the launch, and this can cause headbanging on the transitions of the S-bend. The ride also lasts ≈40 seconds, which is quite short (at least the headbanging ends) 7.5/10, theme and launch carries

Nice surprise! Harness Discomfort

It certainly isn't the worst coaster I've been on, but some moments (180 turnarounds) are too snappy, you don't feel secure, the first drop was surprisingly good, so 3/5

Lap Bar Ejectors Hangtime

(Both of my rides on Icon were towards the back) Launches: Not too quick but still fun Airtime: So much airtime, rivals Grand National Hangtime: Some in the inversion, quite a bit on the JR Immelman Lap Bar: Very comfortable but started to staple me. An easy 5/5

Theming Pace Intensity Lap Bar

I rode this with another person, and this ride has some quirks to it. If you are alone or have someone on your lap, you have little to hold on to and the rather quick transitions make you feel like you'll fall out. Quite fast towards the end, and quite a bit of force!

Fun Layout Discomfort

A fun racing ride. You have to wait for some time due to two rider horses. The metal balls to keep the seatbelt in place can hurt during turns, but leaning into corners resolves the issue.
