Sin interés

I support this ride existing solely because Cedar Point is lacking in the family thrill department, and this is a great first 'big' coaster for anyone getting their feet wet. For enthusiasts, it's a great ride to take a quick nap on as it gently rocks you to sleep.

Inversiones Tiempo muerto

Eh. Rougarou is kinda fun, but completely forgettable. Some good forces and inversions in the first half, but nothing particularly memorable. The second half after the mid-course does absolutely nothing but meander around. The rattle is enough to be a bit annoying but it's not overwhelming. Cedar Point definitely made the right call to convert it to a floorless, and it's not a bad ride by any means, but it's by no means essential. Do it once for the credit, twice if this has a short line on a packed day. You're not really missing out on much.

Situación Comodidad Velocidad

This is probably the least objective review I can give - I rode this for the first time at 7 years old, and it is by far my most ridden coaster with an estimated 500 rides over the last 25ish years. I hear the critiques about it - less than stellar layout, not very forceful. Part of that blowback comes from being so highly rewarded by the Golden Tickets for so many years. And I get it, my preference is for ultra-intense coasters, and there's plenty of more recent coasters that are better thrill machines. But there's something about Millennium that transcends its shortcomings and still places it very high in my rankings. One of the best views on any lift hill going up near the lake. Surprisingly intense pullout/overbank that does provide the force people claim isn't there. And speed... so much speed rushing through the most isolated part of the park. There's a magic to it I can't put my finger on, but that magic is still there after all these years.

Airtimes Velocidad Layout Demasiado corto

Orion's only weakness is its length. If it had a couple more elements it would be a contendor for my favorite coaster, but Fury's final hills eek it out. Orion is an outstanding coaster. Ride in the front row near the end of the day and you'll see what I mean. The speed is incredible, the airtime is excellent, and every element brings something unique. The scale of the ride is enormous and every element feels huge. And it has the huge benefit of being a B&M hyper model, with its high capacity and very comfortable restraints. The giga speed and size make this one absolutely world class and somehow my new favorite coaster at Kings Island, beating out the truly incredible Beast, Diamondback, and Mystic Timbers in dramatic fashion and becoming my second favorite Giga, somehow beating out Millennium Force and 305 somewhat effortlessly.

Fun Duración Capacidad

This is more than just a regular kiddie coaster. It has some decent whip and is janky enough to provide force. Also, it manages to run 3 laps and goes over a stream that boats go under, so that's nice. Unfortunately, this is going to have a wait because of the poor capacity and the fact that this isn't a tiny boring kids coaster.

Tematización

It feels weird to review a ride that barely even is a coaster. There's a few dips and some turns, although they're fun and have some decent laterals. The theming is nice, not as much startling as haunted mansion, which is a good thing. Without theming, it's boring as hell. However, with theming, it's a 2.5 star ride because I don't know how else to rate it.

Intensidad Duración Vibración

While Phoenix is the superior wooden coaster, Twister still provides a great experience filled with laterals. The majority of the ride contains laterals, including the double helix surrounding the station. The views from the station are already great in its own right, and the lack of gates lets you take in the view better. Just like phoenix, there were only one train ops on the ride. However, just like phoenix, the operations were great. The lack of seatbelts (just like phoenix) greatly improves the loading times. It's interesting how there's half of a lift, some turns, then more of a lift. Weird, but fun feature that helps improve the build up to the drop. The drops are decent. Despite the focus on laterals, there are some pretty good airtime moments. The ride also lasts a long time with it's almost 4000 foot long course. My main critique is the rattle. It's prominent throughout the ride. With some track work, it can be a pretty great wooden coaster. Even with the roughness, it causes Knoebel's top 3 to be amazing.

Fun Intensidad Suavidad Capacidad

While I did have to wait 40 minutes for a relatively short-lengthed queue line, it is still a bobsled and generally only had slightly worse capacity to the defunct bobsled formerly at my home park. The first half is pretty mild, only there for entertainment. The second half provides a pretty thrilling experience. The bobsled banks pretty far and even has a little whip. The transitions from bobsled to track are surprisingly smooth, unlike the aforementioned Alpine Bobsled. It took many years to build, but now Knoebel's has a rare and fun ride.

Primera caída Inversiones Intensidad Arnés

It's kind of funny that my first vertical lift hill wasn't on a gerstlauer but on a zierer. Anyways, Impulse is quite a fun ride! The lift hill itself is pretty freaky and the drop provides decent whip. The pullout after the drop causes the lap bar to staple you, so that's unfortunate. There are several moments of high positive Gs, particularly the vertical loop. It feels quite a bit more forceful compared to normal vertical loops. All four inversions had decent hangtime, with the most being on the inline twist. What's most surprising is the helices. I almost grayed out on them! Anyways, it could be a big longer, but it's a great, modern addition to a park centered around preserving history.

Primera caída Inversiones Vibración

Front row center ride was fun. Drop was great, so were the first few inversions. The inclined loop is quite good with the short cars maintaining the speed. Back row left side featured a very noticeable rattle, it is seriously odd that it's already as bad as it is. The ride is short, but the elements it has are enjoyable, and it doesn't waste any track.
