I went into Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Fuji Adventure with pretty low expectations, but I was quite impressed. It’s only a family coaster, and I’d expect better theming for it, but the ride itself was surprisingly fun and forceful. It’s not going to fight with the other giants of Fuji-Q, but it absolutely deserves to be a part of the park. Also the first launch was shockingly punchy for some reason. Best hold onto those handlebars tight.

This ride is evil. It starts in the dark with a drop, barrel roll, and launch, and from there it is a bunch of inversions broken up by the steepest operating drop in the world. It’s fun, and undeniabl...

This ride is evil. It starts in the dark with a drop, barrel roll, and launch, and from there it is a bunch of inversions broken up by the steepest operating drop in the world. It’s fun, and undeniably very forceful. The only real con that I can think of is that the restraints aren’t great.

My new #1. Put simply, this ride is X2 if it had no restraint whatsoever. It absolutely tears through it’s layout and leaves you breathless and wondering what the heck happened when you hit the brake ...

My new #1. Put simply, this ride is X2 if it had no restraint whatsoever. It absolutely tears through it’s layout and leaves you breathless and wondering what the heck happened when you hit the brake run. It was running one train ops for some reason and I did bang my head on the headrest when I sat on the outside seat, but that does very little to hurt this amazing ride.

It has great theming and fits in perfectly, but let’s be real it is basically a wild mouse with a vertical loop. It is a tad rattley but not unbearable. The restraints also prevent tall people from ri...

It has great theming and fits in perfectly, but let’s be real it is basically a wild mouse with a vertical loop. It is a tad rattley but not unbearable. The restraints also prevent tall people from riding it. All-in-all, it’s fun but far from perfect, but it makes the already great park better with it’s theming and by scratching the thrill itch in a park that focuses far more on theming. Also Disney works with Intamin what?!

This ride is just plain scary. A giga monster, and the longest coaster in the world. It is very fast from beginning to end, and keeps hamming you with airtime (floater to start, but ejector and headchoppers later on). It also feels pretty sketchy, largely due to the rattle. The rattle is kind of a double edged blade; it makes it feel dangerous and thrilling but also pretty uncomfortable. Either way, the world’s longest coaster (until Falcon’s Flight I guess) is a great time. Also, it technically has a maximum height limit of 6-1, but but my brother is 6-4 and was allowed on with no issues so they seem pretty lenient about that.

Another mad underrated ride. To be clear, I am rating this as a ride, as in the whole package, not just as a coaster. The theming is cool, the pacing is phenomenal, and it is generally just a really c...

Another mad underrated ride. To be clear, I am rating this as a ride, as in the whole package, not just as a coaster. The theming is cool, the pacing is phenomenal, and it is generally just a really chaotic and great time. Best wildmouse that I’ve been on in a landslide.

For a 100 year old coaster this thing is fairly smooth and seriously powerful (in the back row at least). I genuinely got some of the craziest airtime all day on this, which the buzzbar helped with. ...

For a 100 year old coaster this thing is fairly smooth and seriously powerful (in the back row at least). I genuinely got some of the craziest airtime all day on this, which the buzzbar helped with. The only cons are its repitition and short length (it seems that Kennywood in general struggles with length).

Underrated ride. Everybody talks about how great the zero G roll is, and rightfully so, but I also got some serious airtime on the top of the top hat in the front and on the mid course drop in the bac...

Underrated ride. Everybody talks about how great the zero G roll is, and rightfully so, but I also got some serious airtime on the top of the top hat in the front and on the mid course drop in the back. It’s just plain fun.

This one is intresting because it isnt the tallest coaster in the park, it doesnt have any inversions, and even watching a POV had me like, “… that’s it?” Riding it is another story. First off, I love the trains. They look cool, they are glass smooth, and the restraints probably couldnt staple you if you tried. The lifthill is long and gives a good view of the park. One it actually drops (which gave a solid whip in the back) you notice how insanely fast it is. It literthad tears streaming out of my eyes from the sheer speed. After the straight track. There is a solid airtime hill, and an even taller drop. Then it slams you with positive Gs and drops a few times, and then it goes full ejector mode for the rest of the ride. All in all, it rides way better then you’d expect.

This is a really fun and aggressive ride from beginning to end, and if it were dueling it would be an easy 5/5, but it didnt for me. That really sucks because it feels like a very easily fixable issue...

This is a really fun and aggressive ride from beginning to end, and if it were dueling it would be an easy 5/5, but it didnt for me. That really sucks because it feels like a very easily fixable issue that would make the ride 10x better (just look to West Coast Racers in the same park), but for some reason they didnt do it. I guess the cool colors of the wood and tracks bump it up a bit, but it loses that when you realize that it is a parking lot coaster. Still a fun ride, and that stall on green was probably the best stall I’ve been on.

I’m a bit harsher on this ride than most, and dont get me wrong it was still cool, just flawed. My main issue comes in how the ride handles intensity, because the ride feels like it is fighting with i...

I’m a bit harsher on this ride than most, and dont get me wrong it was still cool, just flawed. My main issue comes in how the ride handles intensity, because the ride feels like it is fighting with itself on whether it is a scenic flight, or inversion packed thrill ride. And then the pretzel loop comes out of nowhere and is 1000x more intense then the rest of the ride, causing me to gray out. It also doesnt help that the seats dont rotate back until you have entered the station so you are quite literally left hanging outside the station for who knows how long. I still had a lot of fun with it but it is fundamentally a flawed experience in my opinion.

This ride was hilarious. I was genuinely laughing by the end. It was mostly due to how weird it was in a few ways. First off, it has a really noticeable rattle. Second, I got sprayed in the face by water from the log flume ride above. Probably not intentional but really funny. Third, this ride was considerably more intense than I anticipated, so much so that I grayed out a bit on a turn near the end. Only the infamous pretzel loop made me gray out in that park besides that (not even X2 did). Last, the lift hill at the end that pranks you by just going straight into the station broke me. This ride is actually so bad that it is kinda good, except for the awful capacity.

A train got stuck at the top of the lift somehow which took a while for the ops to deal with, but other than that it was a solid ride. It is probably the most intense invert that I’ve been on so far a...

A train got stuck at the top of the lift somehow which took a while for the ops to deal with, but other than that it was a solid ride. It is probably the most intense invert that I’ve been on so far and has decent theming for six flags.

In one word, this ride is just fun. It doesnt make you crap yourself like X2 or try to kill you like Twisted Collosus, it is just a fun multi-launch dueling coaster. The harness isnt ideal, but didnt really bother me. It bridges the gap between family coasters and thrill machines nicely, and makes for a very enjoyable ride.

As my first RMC raptor, this blew me away. It was super fast throughout and packed in lots of elements. Also, nobody seems to talk about the headchoppers on this thing. I kept ducking because there were so many, so that was interesting. I really struggle to think of a single flaw; it is just a really good coaster.

This is hands down the best ride I have been on in my entire life. Even with the music, animation, and fire all down, and only one train being used, it was still incredible from beginning to end. It isnt perfect, especially with the crazy headbanging at the end basically making you lean forward and the obvious unreliability of the effects, but that is not enough to make it anything less than 5 stars because it is just so dang good. The first drop made me feel like I would die, the backflips were great, and it was just chaotic fun from start to end.

This is basically the perfect ride to get warmed up on. Its pretty short, but it has some punchy launches and crazy hangtime on the huge loop. The… surprise was cool and ride operator had a bit of a s...

This is basically the perfect ride to get warmed up on. Its pretty short, but it has some punchy launches and crazy hangtime on the huge loop. The… surprise was cool and ride operator had a bit of a sense of humor asking if we want a countdown and then immidiately launching us. Fun ride!

As far as ‘kiddie’ rides go, this one is actually pretty intense and fun. My main complaint though is that it hardly spun for me even though the weight distribution should have made it which was a bit...

As far as ‘kiddie’ rides go, this one is actually pretty intense and fun. My main complaint though is that it hardly spun for me even though the weight distribution should have made it which was a bit disappointing, but not enough to ruin the ride.

I find this ride to be a bit underrated. I think it bridges the gap nicely between the super thrilling inverts and the more relaxed ones. It feels like you are flying, but the layout is still fairly aggressive with all of the inversions. I did gray out a bit on the helix at the end which I wasnt huge on, but other than that its a good invert.

This ride is pretty forgettable, but it is still a fairly solid family coaster. It’s surprisingly good theming and length are its strongsuits, but it is annoyingly loud for some reason and I kept slam...

This ride is pretty forgettable, but it is still a fairly solid family coaster. It’s surprisingly good theming and length are its strongsuits, but it is annoyingly loud for some reason and I kept slamming into the person i was riding with due to the restraints.

The ride itself is pretty solid; just a bunch of loops with the expected hangtime and the ocassional drop, but holy crap was it a mistake to go on the front row (in the best way) with just a lap bar I was actually terrified that I would fall out and die, so that was pretty neat. That and the lights bumped it up to 4.5 for me.
