Airtimes Situación Suavidad Layout

Smooth. Elegant. Classic. Shivering Timbers is simply a joyride for the floater airtime enthusiast. However, that's also the main con. The layout is predictable, redundant, and uncreative. I do love the location though, away from the rest of the park, overgrown by weeds and on a dirt path. I didn't even notice we were near a parking lot, and it was cool for it to be the first thing you see coming into the park. I also love the signage with the flowers, which seemed the prettiest thing in the whole park. The fact that it was the only coaster running more than one train proves that CF knows this ride is a diamond in the rough. My favorite touch is the finale, a great helix with excellent laterals. I think laterals and helixes improve woodies tremendously, and without it I'd give Shivering Timbers a 7. But a good helix on an awesome CCI is just that good.

This ride is muuuch better than the other Fun Spot Hi-Miler. This one does not feature the wacky profiling present on the first two drops of Hurricane. It's smaller, so it's faster paced and more forceful. And instead of being placed over brick, it's placed over grass, which is a step up for location. Still, it's a little uncomfortable, and not too memorable.

Twisted Typhoon, while still a lousy ride, is my favorite SLC. The tracking, rattle, and restraints are awful. SLCs geniunely scare me. However, the color scheme is drop dead gorgeous. And the location is absolutely beautiful, for a very biased reason. The ground is absolutely littered with pine needles, and the whole layout has a perimeter of pine trees. The station feels like a backwoods cabin. Most of my childhood summer camps were out in pine forests, so the image of pine needles all over the ground with the trees towering over is a very nostalgic one. Riding Twisted Typhoon feels like my weekend campsite has a bonus roller coaster that they bought off the shelf, and I'm riding it. I love it to bits.. but I also hate it because it's extremely rough and terrifying for my pockets.

Crappy Boomerang with an ugly paint job.

Cheetah Hunt.. er, just Cheetah, is a mixed bag. On one hand, the gerstlauer trains have a very spacious lap bar, but track poorly and are not cushioned at all. And the track hasn't had a major refurbishment in years, so you'll only get a bearable ride in the front. On the other hand.. this ride is so much fun! Floater airtime, laterals, a location literally in the middle of the safari train area, and an excellent layout. My fanboy enthusiasm for CCI shines through with this one, and made the one time trip for credits to Wild Adv that much more worth it.

Fun Tematización Incomodidad

One of the less enjoyable mice I've ridden. This is one of my earliest coasters, but no amount of nostalgia can hide how this is mediocre even for a wild mouse. It lacks an extra drop, the seats are very tiny, and there is no theming once you get on the ride, which is frankly very very ugly. The ride is too small to replace, and kids enjoy wild mice, so keep it in I think.

While this isn't the best mouse in the world, it's miles better than similar ones at Animal Kingdom or the State Fair. It's smooth and the restraints are better, and the spinning is managable. The layout is ugly though, and could use some trees, grass, or pretty LED lights. I usually skip it on my FS Kissimmee runs, though. Credit is enough for me.

The only con with this coaster is the erratic pacing and that the coaster itself isn't as forceful as an extreme coaster. But those cons serve a greater purpose of making this one of the best family coasters in the world. Cool animatronics that are just detailed enough for how fast you pass by them, excellent launches that feel like a motorbike taking off, great twisty coaster sections, and excellent surprises. I will always be willing to wait an hour or maybe even two to get on this one.

While many dread screens on Universal Attractions, there are three that I believe utilize them to their fullest. Transformers does the minimum to make it effective, Spider-Man does the maximum, and Gringotts is somewhere in the middle. However, this ride has the benefit of having awesome coaster sections and speed, and as such doesn't break down nearly as often! There are so many excellent moments with Voldemort's giant fireball spell, the trolls launching you away, Mr. Weasley launching you away with a triumphant "Wingardium Leviosa!", Bellatrix making the track tilt down in a very rare coaster element, and the finale where the Norwegian Ridgeback launches you out of the Bank. Plus, the queue is one of the best in the world with a mini-ride midway through, and the onride soundtrack goes harder than the other Potter attractions. While my first rides left me disappointed, I now fully appreciate this attraction.

¡Romper en pedazos!

Screeeew this coaster! If Everest is the Magnum Opus of Imagineering, Primeval Whirl is one of their Opuscules, up there with Superstar Limo. Terribly and disgustingly themed, rough, uncomfortable, bad capacity, smelly.. and did I mention this and the whole Dino-rama are an eyesore? Please replace this with absolutely anything. A new dark ride, a new coaster, a new area, anything to replace the entire crappy section of Dinoland.
