Situación Fun Tiempo muerto

This is a nice and pleasant ride, with a lame finish. Not a whole lot else to say about it - it doesn't stand out at all, but it's fun and has great views.

Primera caída Launch

God, this ride lives up to the hype. It doesn't have the jolting immediate speed of Xcelerator - the acceleration feels relatively slow, but it just keeps speeding up until you can't even believe how fast you're going. Then you're suddenly almost 500 feet in the air, and yeah, it's just an incomparable ride. It's not quite a 10/10 ride for me but it needs to be ridden to be beliieved.

Tematización Fun

If I had a nickel for every bizarrely themed indoor wild mouse at SFGA I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Tematización ¡Buena sorpresa!

Literally just Scream at SFMM without the painful rattle and with significantly better scenery. Brings the ride up significantly! Guy next to me said it was better than Ka which is complete lunacy but it’s good anyway

Airtimes Primera caída Inversiones Incomodidad

Found this one to be more comfortable than its near-clone at SFMM, but mostly identical. For some reason the seat felt better. I still wish these had a lap bar and a little more legroom but this thing hauls through the layout and does some truly insane stuff

Airtimes Primera caída Duración ¡Decepción!

I was a little disappointed by this one. I’d heard it had gotten rough and less good as time has gone on but I was still holding out hope that it would enter my top 20. No such luck. Still a fantastic ride but nowhere near the bliss described by other enthusiasts who rode it in its best years. Update - got a night ride after writing this, back row, and unfortunately it was even worse than the first. The rattle was so strong I had to stop screaming because I thought I might bite my tongue. I hope to ride this again after some maintenance and maybe then I’ll love it - for now dropping from a 4 to a 3.5

Airtimes Primera caída

Really fun ride, number 3 or 4 in the park despite its age. The layout is absolutely massive and full of crazy massive airtime hills. Rode it in the back and had a blast

Tematización Tiempo muerto

What the hell is this thing

Inversiones Incomodidad

Preferred this to batman the ride at SFDK pretty significantly, not even sure why I just had fun on this one and I don’t remember batman being this fun. Maybe just a state of mind thing. But yeah, pretty good fun but I wouldn’t want to marathon it due to the intensity of the flipping.

Velocidad Fun Torta

First half was super fun but then the second half had some pretty bad head banging issues that really hurt my ears. Didn’t mind it overall but probably wouldn’t ride again

Hangtime Incomodidad

The gentleman two reviews below me must have some massive testes bc I felt no testicle pain at all. Fun enough ride that’s mildly uncomfortable but fun enough and short enough to be worth it to some degree

Situación Hangtime Demasiado corto

Fun little ride with a great location but 10$ for a 20 second ride is a little insane

Inversiones Layout ¡Decepción! Launch

I really didn’t get much of a kick out of this launch. I really appreciated the longer than normal layout than the average intamin accelerator but compared to xcelerator or stealth the launch just doesn’t have that same oomph. I’d say the full throttle launch is better as well. Still a good ride

Fun Sin interés

Completely unremarkable, fun enough to go on a walk on but I wouldn’t ever wait more than 15 min for this.

Airtimes Fun Tiempo muerto

Butter smooth and oddly relaxing. It’s such a thrill but the epic airtime bills are spaced out enough that you have breathing room in between which is very unique to me and made it an interesting experience for me

Comodidad Suavidad Ejectors

Good lord this thing is so smooth and purely thrilling. I was so excited for wildcats revenge that I didn’t get hype enough on this fantastic coaster. Absolutely loved it.

Situación Velocidad Layout

This ride is just ridiculous. I was worried I might overhype it in my head because it's so talked up online, but honestly, after 2 rides (one in front, one in back), I'm just astounded by this ride. It's such an all-in-one type of ride, it's got the theming, launches, airtime, intensity, location, and I could go on. I mean seriously it's just incredible. The only thing that disappointed me was that I thought there would be more on-ride theming (I went in pretty much completely blind aside from the massive level of hype) but on reflection, it's plenty. I mean, the ride kind of loses the plot after the queue, but the experience is so great that it's hard to care. It would be a 10/10 ride if the ride itself felt as cohesive plot-wise as the queue, but it's pretty much perfect as a coaster alone. If you like coasters, get on this ride, no matter the cost.

Airtimes Primera caída Duración

Good lord, so smooth and so jam packed with elements. New top ten for me for sure. Lives up to the hype for me unlike its dueling relative at magic mountain.

Tematización Fun Tiempo muerto

Fun little ride, mid course brake runs kinda kill it but I thought it was really fun, smooth, and the theming was fun although simple.

Primera caída Duración Tiempo muerto

I loved this one! Admittedly the brakes in the middle totally kill the momentum, but this one just swoops around for the first half and then hits you with an insane extended helix in the last half. That first drop is absolutely insane and the helix had me graying out big-time. Definitely recommended despite the setbacks.

Situación Vibración Incomodidad

Fine enough ride with a mediocre layout and pretty bad seats. Inversions are cool and forceful though and the views of the park are very nice

Fun

Lotta whip for a kiddie coaster, I’d call this one a family coaster tbh

Launch Intensidad Demasiado corto

This is easily the craziest launch I've ever experienced. For whatever reason, Stealth at Thorpe Park, which has similar stats on the launch itself, felt less intense (the top hat felt much more intense though, I feel like I didn't get much airtime on this tophat). This one felt like it was trying to push me through the back of the train, it was insane. Never felt anything like it. Velocicoaster has "better" launches in terms of their pacing and the continuity of the ride, but in terms of pure intensity, Xcelerator takes the cake. So great that it's finally open to the public again!

Inversiones Velocidad Demasiado corto

This was down when I went to Knotts in late 2021 so I had to do it on this trip. It’s really fun and that hanging over the drop gimmick is fucking awesome, but it is really brief.

Situación Demasiado corto

Nice little ride, but it's over before it feels like it's really getting started. I like it for what it is but it's just too short.

Fun Duración

If it were not for the incredible GhostRider, this would probably be my favorite woodie in the world. So fun and worth the wait!

Tematización Vibración Layout

Cool ride with some nice theming but the rattle is a bit much and there's really nothing that makes it stand out.

¡Decepción! Tiempo muerto

What a snooze fest. I won't rate it lower than a 2/5 because there isn't any major discomfort, but there's no forces or fun to be had on this. Timberhawk is a better wooden coaster and that's at Wild Waves of all places.

Fun Capacidad

Holy shit this thing loads slow, other than that pretty much a typical wild mouse without much to stand out. I remember riding this back when I was really young.

¡Buena sorpresa! Situación Demasiado corto

This one was an unexpected winner from my trip to CGA. That final turn over the water is incredible, but it is a pretty short ride without a lot to make it stand out.
