Velocidad Intensidad Layout

What a fun classic coaster. Surprising intensity and excellent airtime and laterals are hallmarks of John A. Miller's pre-depression design, making this a ride that stands the test of time.

Tematización Lap Bar Launch Demasiado corto Tiempo muerto

A one trick pony with a strong launch but not much else. It's a good gimmick, but it doesn't feel like a full coaster. A full layout like Formula Rossa, while impractical in the available space, would have been a better experience - I'd sacrifice Iron Dragon for a layout after the tophat.

The layout would be great if it wasn't built by a pre-CAD Arrow. As such, the transitions are horrendous - the observation area on the pathway gives a few great views of riders getting their necks snapped by the unsmoothed banking changes. The park needs a good, intense sit-down looper, but this one ain't it. I wouldn't be disappointed if this was the next ride to leave the park, especially if it was to make way for a ground-up RMC, Mack launcher, or Intamin blitz.

Inversiones Tiempo muerto Layout

I wanted to love this relic of my defunct home park, but it just wasn't great. The pacing was loose and it didn't maintain a feeling of speed. The layout doesn't hold a candle to its New Jersey brother Bizarro.

Airtimes Lap Bar Suavidad

Some really solid airtime, but the ride falls short everywhere else. I will say that the trims were not nearly as bad as I was led to believe - definitely odd to trim on the way down after an airtime hill, because it makes it feel like much more speed is sapped than actually is, while a trim before the crest (like on Diamondback) just adds to the feeling of floater.

Intensidad Incomodidad Tiempo muerto

I respect what this ride does. I got severe tunnel vision from the pullout of the drop all the way to the crest of the first airtime hill - that's some insane sustained intensity (to the point of discomfort and a bit of panic). But after that, it just seemed to durdle aimlessly to get back to the station. The transitions were whippy, but it was just long low turn after long low turn. I found it a bit monotonous; it's called the Maverick turns section, but there's so much more variety and better pacing on Maverick than just sharp transitions between s-curves.

Situación Fun Layout

The side-by-side helix is a very interesting element on a traditional-style racing coaster. Unfortunately, dispatches were staggered when I rode, so I didn't get a racing run, but it was a pretty fun, if forgettable, ride.

Comodidad Fun Layout Demasiado corto

Surprisingly intense for a suspended model, The Bat is a very fun ride through a picturesque part of the park. A second half would add a lot to this ride, but it's still quite good.

Situación Intensidad Ejectors Incomodidad Tiempo muerto Lap Bar

She's tall, she's fast, she's reasonably smooth - until you get to the jank transition into the turnaround and remember that pre-CAD Arrow built this ride. The triangular airtime hills give great ejector, but the transitions are nowhere near smooth and the lapbar is quite uncomfortable even when bracing. Maybe a Morgan retracking or new B&M trains would make this a great ride, but for now, I just lament that Schwarzkopf and Stengel couldn't have designed and built it instead.

Tematización Inversiones Suavidad

Not a whole lot to this one, but the near miss elements are incredible and salvage a mediocre ride.
