This was hands down the best Arrow mine train I’ve been on because the theming was really great and the ride wasn’t as spectacularly painful as usual. It was still much too rough but it might deserve a re-ride.

I loved this classic wood racer. It doesn’t have much intensity compared to the other two wood coasters at Kings Island but it was lots of fun and eve...

I loved this classic wood racer. It doesn’t have much intensity compared to the other two wood coasters at Kings Island but it was lots of fun and even a little airtime here and there.

The stunts were all working and it made a huge difference compared to my home park’s version at Kings Dominion. It’s a great ride that I could actuall...

The stunts were all working and it made a huge difference compared to my home park’s version at Kings Dominion. It’s a great ride that I could actually want to re-ride, though not with a long wait.

Wow, after riding the other Arrow swinging coasters I wasn’t prepared for the amazing layout and location at Kings Island. Plus it was super smooth and just a lot of fun in the last row.

This ride deserves every accolade a coaster can get. The intensity is there but so is the super long duration and weird custom layout. It’s the wood t...

This ride deserves every accolade a coaster can get. The intensity is there but so is the super long duration and weird custom layout. It’s the wood terrain coaster to end all terrain coasters. Ride it at night in the back.

It’s a bit more fun than Orion and the night rides I got in the back were so much fun looking at the moon going up the second hill. There’s lots of ai...

It’s a bit more fun than Orion and the night rides I got in the back were so much fun looking at the moon going up the second hill. There’s lots of airtime but Goliath at SFoG is still my favorite B&M hyper.

It’s a lot of fun and that first drop has me graying out every time, but it doesn’t have much personality or uniqueness. I like it better than Fury 32...

It’s a lot of fun and that first drop has me graying out every time, but it doesn’t have much personality or uniqueness. I like it better than Fury 325 but neither hold a candle to the two Intamin’s Millenium Force and Intimidator 305.

It’s just pure adrenalin with nonstop pacing and elements. It’s a little too short, especially when compared to its neighbor The Beast, but it’s an ex...

It’s just pure adrenalin with nonstop pacing and elements. It’s a little too short, especially when compared to its neighbor The Beast, but it’s an excellent coaster at being super intense. It reminds me of the intensity of El Toro a little bit.

The launch is forceful and fun. After the launch, the layout is compact but given that limitation is works really well how the ride seems to have this increasing speed at the end. It fits well with the Joker insanity theme so it's a good but not great ride. Compare this launched coaster to the amazing 'Storm Runner' at Hershey Park.

It’s a rough family coaster, like an Arrow mine train where you have to ride defensively. The wait inside the building hallways I felt like I was going to suffocate.

These flying coasters are trying to replicate Tatsu and the terrain is flat so it just doesn’t work very well. On top of that I always get sick to my ...

These flying coasters are trying to replicate Tatsu and the terrain is flat so it just doesn’t work very well. On top of that I always get sick to my stomach on these.

This ride is your normal spinning mouse in a dark building with some theming. There is a long outdoor queue and an even longer indoor queue. If there’s any line outdoors then skip it. They really should do a better job with the tunnel entrance and indoor queue area theming and tell a story throughout to help add interest. The ride is a wild spinning mouse so that’s also a negative. I would much prefer a smooth smaller indoor ride with well integrated story elements.

This ride is very smooth and comfortable, unlike a similar B&M flyer at Great Adventure that I did not enjoy at all. This is like a mini Tatsu of sort...

This ride is very smooth and comfortable, unlike a similar B&M flyer at Great Adventure that I did not enjoy at all. This is like a mini Tatsu of sorts, and it’s a bit short but it is fun for a flying coaster.

I’m an Arrow fan but ouch, this thing sucks. I love these old school mine train coasters in theory but the rough transitions make it unfit for kids to ride, defeating the purpose of a family coaster. It probably needs to go at this point and get replaced with something smooth like Big Bear Mountain, or maybe an RMC mine train.

It’s not my favorite giga. I’ve ridden Millenium Force which is all about huge hills taken at high speed which I love, and I305 which is about one drop and then insane high speed whipping turns along the ground for the most part. Fury seems like B&M wasn’t going for airtime so they mostly stay near the ground at high speed but then the elements just don’t seem very interesting (I don’t even remember the ride other than the tunnel, it’s not memorable). I like the tunnel under the pathway and overall it’s a rush but Fury just doesn’t seem up to the level that Intamin set with its gigas.

I love Arrow coasters, especially the custom loopers like this. They always look amazing and have a sort of quiet old school smoothness to them when they’re moving slowly. I have to mention I loved the train colors that were so 70s/80s with their yellow/orange/brown stripes. I rode it in the front and in the middle and probably recommend the front a bit more for a smoother ride. I hope these old Arrow coasters are preserved for a long time more just because they represent a cool era in the 70s and 80s when 4 inversions on a steel coaster was brand new technology. It’s kind of like getting a chance to drive an antique car once in a while.

This old Arrow mine train was actually not bad. It wasn’t nearly as painful to ride as most of the others I’ve been on, though I still had to ride defensively. I liked the way it stayed close to the ground and the helices were not too intense.

It didn’t make much impression on me. I was forced to ride it in the half-crouched position. These standup B&M’s are just dumb because why would standing on our feet make a ride better? How about a coaster where we pedal a bicycle? Maybe they could make a coaster where we run on a treadmill! Maybe they make a coaster where we try to give each other haircuts?

This was better than I thought except it gave me an upset stomach due to motion sickness when I wasn’t facing the direction of motion. The lift from station to top of the ride was really fun and different and I’m glad it wasn’t a free spin but it would be better with no spinning at all.
