    Airtimes Velocidad Ejectors

    There comes a point in the grand arc of roller coaster quality that enters the realm of ineffability and RailBlazer is unequivocally a member of that category. Gosh, what is there to say? I'm more than willing to overlook he meager 1800-foot-length. There is such a simultaneous feeling of ultimate control, aided by the single-rail seating configuration, and utter frenzy, that's inimitable, even on other RMCs. Trying to explain the ejector on the off-axis airtime hill and the surprisingly sustained floater on the final zero-G roll will not do this ride service. Buckle up; this just might be the zenith of coaster creation.

    I'm a sucker for B&Ms in general but as a ride, Patriot was just... underwhelming. I'm not offended by Standup-to-Floorless conversions at all, but the deceased Vortex had the bad luck of being more in the "Iron Wolf" category than the "Mantis" category. Oh well.

    Fun Torta

    That signature Arrow jolt right before the corkscrews kills me every time but I always have fun on Demon, especially now that they've added a modicum of theming to the ride. Certainly not worth a 90-minute wait, though, like I had the displeasure of experiencing last month.

    Would be a hell of a lot less disappointing if the operations on this ride weren't so anemic. I'm not a fan of the nitpick-prone, whiny enthusiasts, but I'm gonna use my card here: Grizzly just isn't a good ride. And probably not interesting enough to be RMC'ed, quite frankly; the layout in the abstract (even with its shakiness and pacing issues removed) leaves much to be desired. Intamin Mega-Lites can be compact, CGA... think about this valuable real estate...

    Ride's gotten noticeably rougher and darker brown since the glossy opening-year experience but wow, Gold Striker gets me every time. That little bunny hill before the final banked turn is delightfully forceful. Proud to have this at my home park :)

    Intensidad

    My first (and home park) invert that does just the right job for its stats and layout. Manages to be compact while also spread out and surprisingly picturesque (that zero-G roll over the entrance)! Surprisingly forceful and more noticeable each time I ride it. I don't get around much -- this is one of only two inverts I've ridden, the other being a Batman clone -- but this is superior, I think.
