    Time to review everything at Cedar Point. Steel Vengeance has developed a reputation as the best coaster in the world for many, but with time, that hype has faded. I think the hype made the ride worse for some people, so this ride is like the Hamilton of roller coasters. However, while I admit it is not my number 1 anymore and it is not perfect, I still think it's one of the absolute best roller coasters. Steel Vengeance focuses on what RMC does best: airtime. I think this ride still has the best overall airtime of any RMC. From the first drop to the following hill to the outer bank to the finale, each one is different and gives the feeling of weightlessness or getting thrown around that you would expect from floater or ejector airtime. No other RMC has as many top tier airtime moments. This ride is also incredibly long, but it never loses steam. Even with the midcourse break run, the second half of the ride always feels aggressive. The only issue is that the finale does slow down substantially on cold mornings. This is the only noteworthy flaw I can say and it's very situational. What more is there to say? This ride is a marvel of roller coaster engineering and I think some people overlook how impressive the layout really is because they instead talk about how it compares to the hype. For me, the ride lives up to the height and is an easy 5 stars. A must for any American theme park fan.

    I'm feeling generous. It's definitely better than Time Warp, but this is just an awful ride. Avoid if you can.

    Absolute classic. The dragon tunnel is iconic for me and I think the pacing, smoothness, and airtime are all understated overall. It's not as intense as a modern wooden coaster, but this is one of the better classic woodies in my opinion and the park clearly takes good care of it. I definitely recommend it if you ever end up in Rye.

    Velocidad Obra maestra Intensidad

    Let me just start with this. I prefer positive g force, pure speed, and pure sustained ejector or floater airtime over quick pops of airtime, pacing also plays a huge part in how I rank rides. I also have an extremely high g force tolerance and I have to be very very dehydrated to start greying out. That being said, Intimidator 305 is in my opinion, truly the greatest coaster ever made. It has insane speed, positive gs that cause most to grey or black out (even if I didn’t since I rode it right after having a meal and drinking a bunch of water) and insane sustained ejector airtime, insane airtime pops from the lateral snaps. This is truly THE greatest coaster ever in my opinion and I don’t believe anything can beat it. It’s absolutely perfect. The transitions were designed in a masterful way, so that while you’re viciously being tossed around by the ride you get ejected out of your seat on the snaps. There is no coaster that can ever beat this ride for me, it’s absolutely the perfect roller coaster. If you haven’t ridden it, ride it asap. I love this ride. One of the 2 coasters I consider to truly be a perfect coaster. Nothing will ever beat it. It’s unreal.

    Lions are cooler than tigers and the lion side of the logo is better, so I preferred this one as a kid. However, they are about the same in quality for me. They realistically deserved 1-1.5 stars in the final years, but I did have a good time on Gwazi.

    This ride was insanely bumpy, but I still loved it. I definitely thought it was one of the worst roller coasters ever back when it was around, and it probably was, but there's no denying I had fun on it and still rode it every time I went to the park. I somewhat miss it, even though I'm very happy with its replacement.

    I'll cover the defunct coasters too. I was going to go 1.5 stars but the weird brush sticking out was so much fun to try to reach out and touch as a kid. This is one of the more painful and unspectacular wild mouse coasters, but it provided a few good moments. Not a great ride, and probably worth skipping, but I rode it nearly every time I went to the park.

    Overall a great ride, but way too short! It's powerful, it's intense, but the length is its main issue.

    What a nice surprise! People tend to say they're disappointed by this coaster for some reason, but it wasn't disappointing at all! I really enjoyed every bit of this ride, it's intense, it has great elements, the theming is ok tier. The second launch is a bit slow imo, but overall a great ride!
