Basically the exact opposite of an SLC, in that it’s insanely smooth instead of insanely rough. Layout isn’t too much to write home about but the interactions with the buildings are pretty fun. Close second to Cu Chulainn at the park.

Thoroughly uncomfortable. I rode alone in the back left and it has a lot of hard left turns so I was going slammed into that bar in the middle of the backseat. At least it’s not the one at Knotts I su...

I love this ride so much. It was great as California Screamin', but as a huge fan of The Incredibles, the soundtrack and theme brings it to a new level for me personally. Beautiful scenery as well, and probably my favorite ride in California Adventure.

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.

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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, pre...

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.

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

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 expe...

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.

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. Th...

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.
