I rode this just yesterday around 8PM as of the time i'm writing this, and holy crap, it runs FAST. I had brought an accelerometer and strapped it to my leg, Why? Well one of my friends said "Holy Sh*t, its fast at night but slow in the morning. Strap one of those g force tellers (he's not good with grammar) and give it a go." So i did. I rode this thing in the front row. The accelerometer i had strapped had estimated that at night, Silver Bullet pulls 4.5 G's on the helix and corkscrews. Wow. It's Phenomenal at night.

This was my first roller coaster, when it was pretty new in the 1970s. It's short and mild even for an Arrow mine train: there's only one lift, and the most thrilling moments are a sudden dip under the Dry Gulch Railroad tracks (baby's first headchopper!) and a helix near the end. But it's a good family coaster to take little kids on that is not a kiddie coaster per se. Many years later, my daughter loved it.

I rode this in 2014 when it was very new, and at the time, it was a smooth, absolutely wild ejector airtime machine, the kind of serious thrill ride you'd never expect to ride at a kiddie park like Story Land. It's short, but it maintains such intensity that I'm not sure it would make sense to make it longer, especially since fairly young kids are getting on this ride. They had a chalkboard in the station where they maintained a running tally of unsecured rider possessions lost to the negative G-force. I have heard that it has gotten rougher with age, but I have not ridden it lately. The lead car has a cute dinosaur head.

This is my home-park favorite, the first new coaster I saw being constructed after I got back into riding coasters. It's a short ride but a lot of fun--it was my first experience with a vertical lift and beyond-vertical drop, and there is something uniquely unnerving about going up flat on your back, seeing nothing but sky as you crest the top. The drop has a nice pop of sideways airtime and then it's into a lovely, hangtimey loop. There's a quick cutback inversion, then a turn into another hangtimey inversion, a twist. Then a helix and you're done.
It's a standard model, but the thing that stands out with this one is its elaborate theming, with a station styled as a backwoods hunting lodge with deer antlers everywhere, bear-themed trains, supports painted like birch trunks, and locally-sculpted little wooden bears all around. Also, it's got a single-rider line: go around the back of the station to get on almost immediately. I can ride this one any time I visit without taking up too much time.
This ride has over-the-shoulder restraints and many people report rough transitions and headbanging. It's never been a problem for me, possibly because of my height.

Shambhala, un hypercoaster qui est très imposant avec sa drop et ses airtimes très haut qu'on aperçoit dans presque tout le parc.
C'est l'un des meilleurs BM que j'ai rider dans ma vie, il a un dosage de sensations juste parfait avec de la légèreté sur certains airtimes sur un airtime on se fait éjecté et puis ce fameux demi tour qui est juste impressionnant de l'intérieur comme de l'extérieur.
Cependant shambhala manque un peu de théma dans sa file d'attente je trouve personnellement, ce qui d'ailleurs est dommage (on retiendra tout de même que le layout en lui même fait une parti de la thema vu que le thème c'est l'Himalaya donc tout ce qui avec les montagnes imposantes et très grandes ce qu'on retrouve sur le layout de shambhala), le débit etait malheureusement assez mauvais le jour de ma visite ce qui est dommage car pour la plus part des coaster j'ai pû rider de ce constructeur ils avaient de bon voir même très bon débit.
Mais sinon shambhala est un très bon coaster a rider et dont je vous conseille fortement de le faire si vous êtes amateurs ou fan de sensations fortes.

Silver star est un coaster qui franchement est impressionnant de l'extérieur mais moins de l'intérieur malheureusement, ses points positifs, sa drop, ses airtimes qui nous donne cette sensation de légèreté, son s-turn a la fin du layout qui est surprenant, mais le gros plus gros point de silver star ses sont débits, c'est rapide et efficace. Ses points négatifs, déjà sa Thema qui est pour moi est inexistante et ses deux trims sur le deuxième et le troisième airtime !!! Please enlever ses trims !!! Mais sinon c'est bon coaster a la base :-)
