    Airtimes Situación Vibración

    Now that I know how to ride it, I love this thing. If I get stapled, it is quadriceps hell. The ejector airtime is wild and it's crazy for being a 60 year old PTC. Because it's near the front, the line tends to be longer, which is a bummer, but I usually ride it once near the end of the day.

    Inversiones ¡Buena sorpresa! Fun

    I had no expectation on this thing other than pain. It looked like a tame Arrow looper, but it was quite smooth and fun. especially the 2 loops. Much like the Batman clone, I wished we would've rode it again.

    We got near this thing and it was a ghost town which was quite perplexing because it dwarfed the entire park at the time. The first half was fun I'm sure, but what I remember is the 2nd half. I blacked out more and for longer than I-305, the break run was so violent as it completely stopped us, and it crawled through the rest of the course when I just wanted it to be over. I'm glad I rode it this piece of history but I'm also glad that B&M has improved the Hyper model since.

    There's a reason these Batman clones are everywhere, they're great fun. The pacing is perfect and packed with inversions and tight turns. It was running pretty smooth when I went 7 years ago in the afternoon, it's probably got more of a rattle now. I wish my sister and I rode it a few more times since we found out later how packed the New Texas Giant line was at the other end of the park.

    Launch Intensidad Demasiado corto Confiabilidad

    The line was so long for the first 5-10 years that it was tough to justify the ride time. Top Thrill is hardly a roller coaster and more like the world's best and most intense flat ride. It's also unreliable and I often wait until the afternoon when it's warmed up. For all of those reasons, I usually pass it on my way to Magnum or Valraven.

    Airtimes Fun Suavidad

    Always a good midway ride between Magnum and Maverick, SteVe. Gemini is just plain fun. It looks like a woody but it's steel, making it super smooth for its age. There's some great airtime, a head chopper, and a dueling element when both trains are running (mixed bag but it was dueling this time). I'm copying and pasting to the blue side. There's very little difference between the two. Red usually wins by about a second.

    My first ever world class roller coaster at the age of 11 and the Raptor holds a special place in my heart. Absolutely blew me away then and is still intense now. Maybe the best B&M Invert ever. I'm sad every time the helix starts because I know the ride is almost done and I'll have to wait another 45 minutes to ride it again.

    Situación Layout Hangtime

    It's not the biggest and the restraints are a bit uncomfortable, but this roller coaster makes me happy. Gatekeeper is the first thing people see when they enter the best park in the world and it's absolutely beautiful. The flying sensation during the inversions is almost soothing, and the near miss through the keyholes is brilliant... it's a great way to start a trip to the Point.

    Velocidad Intensidad Demasiado corto

    Now, it's been 5-6 years since I rode this and I really really want to ride it again. I'm all about intensity and I liked it, but I only clearly remember the first turn. I greyed out like most do. Compared to Millennium force and watching POV's again I-305 it's a little shorter and more intense. At the time, it was the best coaster in the park so we rode it 2 or 3 times before we got extremely tired which never happens! It's not Fury or Orion, but it's still world class.
