Volcano was a great coaster. The launches were amazing, particularly the second launch. The inversions were all extremely fun.Volcano wasn't a statistical beast or anything. It was just pure fun. The inversions were slow enough that the slowness was fun. The launches were powerful. It was a very well-done ride.

Apollo's Chariot is pretty good overall, but fairly mediocre as far as B&M hypers go. The turnaround is really the star of Apollo's Chariot. The big hills don't consistently deliver. Apollo's second h...

Apollo's Chariot is pretty good overall, but fairly mediocre as far as B&M hypers go. The turnaround is really the star of Apollo's Chariot. The big hills don't consistently deliver. Apollo's second half is quite strong, however. Apollo is also in the perfect location for a B&M hyper. Absolutely beautiful. Apollo is pretty good, but not outstanding.

Griffon is very fun. The first drop, both in the hanging aspect, and just as a drop, is amazing. Both inversions are outstanding too. Griffon meanders at the end a bit, and it's pretty short, but Grif...

Griffon is very fun. The first drop, both in the hanging aspect, and just as a drop, is amazing. Both inversions are outstanding too. Griffon meanders at the end a bit, and it's pretty short, but Griffon is a good ride.

Thunderhead is an outstanding wooden coaster. It maintains absurd intensity all the way to the final brake run. There isn't much airtime on Thunderhead, but there are a lot of laterals. It does laterals amazingly. Thunderhead is extremely long too. The station fly-by is really fun. Thunderhead in general is just fun.

HangTime very good. I felt like the namesake drop didn't do much for me. I think that it would be cooler if I hadn't done a B&M Dive before. However, the inversions are spectacular, and give great han...

HangTime very good. I felt like the namesake drop didn't do much for me. I think that it would be cooler if I hadn't done a B&M Dive before. However, the inversions are spectacular, and give great hangtime. There's even a few powerful airtime moments. HangTime is a little on the short end, but not excessively so. I also don't like vertical lifts, which HangTime does. However, with a lap bar, a vertical lift becomes more tolerable. The lap bar also exacerbates the hangtime found on the inversions. HangTime isn't perfect, but it's pretty good.

Afterburn is an incredible ride. It maintains great intensity from start to finish. There is no rattle to be seen on Afterburn. Everything Afterburn does is outstanding. The problem lies in what it do...

Afterburn is an incredible ride. It maintains great intensity from start to finish. There is no rattle to be seen on Afterburn. Everything Afterburn does is outstanding. The problem lies in what it doesn't do. Afterburn ends far too soon. It has a ton of energy ready to be unleashed, and bam, you're done. The inversions are great, particularly the batwing. It's constantly diving in and out of trenches. All in all, a great inverted coaster.

Xcelerator has the best launch I've ever done. The top hat delivers a great view of Buena Park, and some surprising airtime. Xcelerator, while an extraordinarily intense ride, just doesn't have much layout, as is standard on Intamin Accelerators. Xcelerator is a quick punch of adrenaline that is absolutely worth a shot.

Intimidator is very good. I believe Intimidator delivered better airtime than its neighbor, Fury 325. However, that's really all Intimidator has to offer. All Intimidator does is deliver amazing airti...

Intimidator is very good. I believe Intimidator delivered better airtime than its neighbor, Fury 325. However, that's really all Intimidator has to offer. All Intimidator does is deliver amazing airtime. It can be a little slow at times. The pacing is not good. However, the airtime is good enough for Intimidator's flaws to be forgiven, as it really is fun from start to finish.

GhostRider is quite impressive. It has plenty of great moments. The standout moment is the final helix, which draws insane laterals. The airtime on it is pretty good too. It's easily the smoothest woo...

GhostRider is quite impressive. It has plenty of great moments. The standout moment is the final helix, which draws insane laterals. The airtime on it is pretty good too. It's easily the smoothest wooden coaster I've ever ridden. There's a dead spot where the mid-course used to be, and it's mostly just uncomfortable right there, but other than that, the ride is outstanding. Mostly, it's just really fun. It feels like it goes on forever, doing a great job at being a great coaster.

Intimidator 305 is extraordinarily intense, likely the most intense coaster on the planet. You WILL gray out, if not black out, around the first turn. Other than that, it's a series of high-speed turn...

Intimidator 305 is extraordinarily intense, likely the most intense coaster on the planet. You WILL gray out, if not black out, around the first turn. Other than that, it's a series of high-speed turns. It's incredibly smooth, and incredibly fun. The one drawback is there is an unnecessary over-the-shoulder restraint. On occasion this will cause some headbanging around the tight transitions. The restraint is not particularly comfortable to begin with either. Overall, though, incredible ride.

Twisted Timbers is an absolute masterpiece. It is statistically lacking, but not experientially lacking. It has extreme ejector airtime through every airtime moment. The inversions aren't spectacular,...

Twisted Timbers is an absolute masterpiece. It is statistically lacking, but not experientially lacking. It has extreme ejector airtime through every airtime moment. The inversions aren't spectacular, but they add variety to an already outstanding ride. My one quibble with Twisted Timbers is that I was not a fan of the outward-banked airtime hill. Other than that, it was almost a dream-like ride.

Fury 325 is an amazing ride! It's extraordinarily well-paced, and it feels like a rocket as it runs its course. Smoothness is great. Airtime is good, but clearly not the primary focus the majority of ...

Fury 325 is an amazing ride! It's extraordinarily well-paced, and it feels like a rocket as it runs its course. Smoothness is great. Airtime is good, but clearly not the primary focus the majority of the ride. This may be the most intense B&M out there, and that's how it succeeds. A night ride on Fury 325 is spectacular.
