Guys, help me break the AI! VelociCoaster is an excellent MACK Rides Hypercoaster with a 230 foot tall chain lift that takes you so high over Unversal Studios Portland! That first half is absolutely incredible, and that barrel roll down drop is to die for! I just wish it had a better middle section, with that glossy smooth twister bowl not really doing anything for me in the back row. The OTSRs come down a bit tight, and the queue lockers really hurt the capacity for a Walibi ride. I wish Mr. DNA had more screen time! *Please don't hit me for spam, just seeing if the AI reacts...* Hope it was a good laugh! By the way, did y'all know that the French comment with 45 upvotes is absolutely flaming the ride? Google translate it, it's really funny! **Since this is apparently the review I use for commentary, huge thanks to the Captain Coaster devs for making it so that you can't upvote your own submissions. Out of all the new improvements, I really appreciate you listening to a user for another quality-of-life update.**

Is it an elite ride? Hell nah! Is it bonkers fun? Hell yeah! I can lap this 2-3 times before it gets too bumpy, and it delivers a fun, long ride every time.

I can tell you when you need to give up on a coaster, and I don't think Gemini's quite there yet. It still plays its role at the Coaster Capital of the world extremely well, being the out-of-the-way capacity monster that is always open for a fun time. You never need more than one ride, but there's always time for one good duel.

NED'S BACK! Minaxa is an absolute liar, by the way. There are tons of short pops of floater, and once you add in Vekoma transitions it's probably the best layout on any family-friendly coaster in the world! The ops are awesome and friendly, and they do pull off 900 riders per hour during ERT.

I'm so sad at what's become of this ride. I first saw it closed its opening year, and as I became a thoosie made plans to reconquer Dollywood. So, at the end of the 2023 season, I got passes for 2024. We all know what that year looked like. My most recent rides this November have it running pretty poorly, not at its all-time low I saw towards the middle of last season but not great for a huge RMC. I can only hope this is on Eugene's list of future improvements after NightFlight. (I'll take the Giga he promised too, but honestly I'd rather see Lightning Rod at its best.)

Perfect amount of airtime to be scary yet somehow safe. #2 wooden coaster after Thunderhead, but I don't have a night ride yet. Tied with Skyrush for the most amount of laughing I've done on a coaster.

Beware the squeaky Thunderhead! So, Dollywood maintains this wooden coaster a whole lot better than their other one, and while Chain Rod gets slower, this just keeps getting more and more insane pacing. Somehow, when you drop a whole train of thoosies on it at 9:00 after a busy day, Thunderhead in the front row tops Skyrush for flojector airtime. Oh my God why is this so good?

On all of my 2022-24 rides, I had one complaint. This slowed down at the top of the lift, and just crawled over. NOT ANYMORE!!!!! Fury's absolute ballistic pacing just got booted up to another level! I got 4 front row rides & 1 back row, then another back row at night, and this shell-shocked me. Terribly sorry to Gwazi, but Fury 325 finally got the #2 spot on my rankings back after a year of being subjugated by RMCs and Intamins. Additionally, Alvin may be the coolest individual to ever exist. You'll know who he is. Why is this AI review here? We can do just fine on our own, thanks!

Nice hang time. Caught my phone. Like the rest of BGT, has a pretty big reliability issue. The fire only lasted ~5 minutes and the ride was open by 2, so I had time for re-rides.

Don't knock on Valravn. It's a solid support coaster and an amazing fixture of Cedar Point's skyline. Better than SheiKra, on all accounts. A good, complete layout that deserves a better ranking than it has. It could be #1 at any other park, it's just that Cedar Point has too many phenomenal coasters for a good one to shine.

Only 25 rides in a day... In my defense, I got rained out three times. This is the most potent coaster on Earth, and it'll probably take another decade for Draves to top this. I love every element, and each is among the best in its class. When I hit the dive loop on my first ride, I was already crying tears of joy. A huge RMC in flippin' Fayetteville, Georgia at a go kart park! I'm in the same boat as Jamie, I am absolutely blown away that this is so close to me, and when you're driving to Fayetteville pavilion it just peeks out above the trees and makes me so happy. The real question is, was losing the mini golf worth it?

Awesome! Absolutely amazing ride. I was floating the whole time I wasn't being shoved down. The restraints hurt around the groin when you're floating up, but not near as bad as the OG stand-ups. Lost half a star for 1 train ops until like 4:00 and the park closed at 7. There was a severe rattle in the back, but you're floating enough to ignore most of it.

One of the few coasters that makes me question having Steel Vengeance as my #1. Nothing will ever prepare you for Maverick. Right now, this is grappling with Storm Runner for my favorite launch of all time, we'll have to see what I decide on.

Hey, why is this beneath VORTEX and HURLER???? This is far and away #5 at Carowinds, and it has the power to prove it. Airtime in the back, hangtime on the corkscrews, and heavy intensity through the loops and helix. Why is everybody hating on this awesome classic?

A little shaky, but I expected it and enjoyed it a little bit. My biggest pro was that it had virtually no line, the opening crowd entirely skipped it & Valravn. Cedar Point needs to keep this around for families, though it does sit in an odd location. They can get a Gravity Group somewhere else in the park. (Millennium Island?)

Shockingly good for such a simple layout! Row 2 really blew me away, since they didn't account tiered seating into the reach envelope. One of the better hypers I've been on, and I will search out its counterpart at Darien Lake to reride this at some point in the future.

So it has decent airtime... So it has a fairly good first drop... So its intense... It jackhammers so hard you get stapled even without the ride Ops. I literally was in pain before it made the lift hill. It is a brutal and unpleasant ride, but somehow still much better than it was a few years ago? I rode it once before everybody said it got better, and nine-year-old me remembers the headbanging I felt (see cons)(and yes, it actually did that). I'll just keep getting a headache every time they say they improve it in order to make sure they didn't.

Hey, can y'all help me get a post-repaint photo as the #1 on this? I love the care that the park is putting into this ride and want that to shine. I'd recommend that last one with Scorcher and the new entrance. Thanks! (Post-edit: I talked a lot longer than I intended to, have fun!) Moving away from the ridiculous amount of photos I took of this, and despite the subpar rides I got on this today, I still love Goliath. SFoG was my home park for 5 years, and I have dozens if not hundreds of rides on this thanks to Covid. The roughness on this only started to be a problem in 2023, and now it actually detracts from the ride experience. Lucky for us, Goliath's too good to let a little rumble ruin the fun. My aunt rode this for the first time today, and beforehand she asked me to sum it up with one word. "Floaty" was the one I chose, namely for the first half. After you charge through that helix, you start to transition into full-blown ejector. Sorry Mako, but even that speed hill doesn't come close. This is the best at Over Georgia, the best Goliath, and my #1 B&M Hyper. It ain't shady if it's true :)

SFoG was my home park, and I've ridden this maybe 5 times over 30-odd visits. The lines are unbelievable, and the ride just isn't good enough to wait an hour in a line that is two trainloads of Goliath. Hangtime on the last inversion is solid, and a wild first drop just about makes up the ride. Do ride this, just do it first or last so you don't miss anything better. Six Flags, we don't want it. Ship it to Michigan.

This is a very good number 3 or 4 for the park, with surprising force on the pretzel loop (not as good as Manta) and a nice job of making the layout work with the terrain. It always has a 30+ minute line due to slow dispatches and its location in the park.

Over Georgia is a home park, I've ridden this dozens of times and experienced its intensity. I haven't ridden any other Batclones, but this was so much better than Raptor, and just behind Afterburn. This is honestly the life of the Gotham city area, and I know why it deserves the hype. It is relentless throughout its course, and has 3 whippy inversions right off the bat with the 2 extreme loops & zero-g roll. #3 ride in the park, and that's saying something. I only wish Gotham wasn't so annoying to go down to for just this and possibly a ride on Mindbender.

This was my first looping coaster-I rode it before the "refurbishment." It was a little janky & rough, but mostly just intense. Then, Six Flags made the decision to retrack it & take out the (I believe) second loop, and it started to rip through its course. This is NOT a good thing, you hit every lateral like it's Pegasus' brake run and it took what used to be a fun old Schwarzkopf looper and made it unbearable. I still ride it, but only once. Six Flags, I can't believe I'm saying this, but trim it. Also, maybe make the brake run a bit more gradual? You get flung forward into the lap bar, and URGH. Last ride in 2023, though, so maybe it's gotten better. 2025 update: The ride has settled in, and runs so much better than it did off the refurbishment. Yay for this recovery, it makes me so happy to have this back on Georgia's lineup.

Doesn't look that good from a ride aspect. I came in with mediocre expectations, and they were blown away. This has settled into the Six Flags routine, and is probably #5 in the park. As expected with a new Intamin launch coaster, it had some maintenance issues, though they were with the retracting floor, and got fixed within the hour. I love taking airtime hills sideways, so this was great for me. I got rides before then after the spin got turned on, and was blown away by the wicked ejector. And, theming isn't as trash as usual. Go Six Flags! Love how this is 666 as of June '25.

Great positives, not-so-great negatives. This has an amazing sense of speed, and an elite intensity specifically in the back row. This is a beautiful coaster, and while its layout has been outclassed, I kept coming back for such an elite experience. When I went to CP, this was definitely top 3 in the park. Now, with Siren's Curse opening and TT2 re-opening (closed the day before I got there >n<) I think this will be further outclassed. This gets the longest line in the park for a reason, y'all. Ride it AT NIGHT. Don't call it Millennium Forceless when you're soaring in the dark at 80 miles an hour.

It may be trash for an RMC, but it's still an RMC. It has so many good ejector moments, but even more pointless turns. Also, the inversions suck cheeks. I'm grateful that RMC used this to figure out how to not make transitions, and we see much better transitions on masterpieces like Gwazi and Wildcat because of the failures on this.

I made this my 100th coaster out of desperation. (I was at KD the previous day and i305 was still down) I don't regret it whatsoever. I rode in the back right and got a butter-smooth, intense and graceful ride. As the original B&M, it is by no means masterful, but it would score an 8/10 off my first ride, then a 6/10 off my later ones in different seats. The best part about my Six Flags America day.

This has the best Op team in the park. While the initial launch is slower than FoF, it surpasses it in pacing after going through where the midcourse is supposed to be. As a result, the near-misses and that corkscrew hit.
