Fun Intensidad Hangtime

This is my first time ever experiencing a Sky Rocket II model and I was thoroughly impressed. The launches are a bit lacking and don't have that punchy feeling but it's such a cool and unique experience compared to coasters I've experienced before that it doesn't hurt my overall outlook much. It basically rocks you back and forth until the 3rd launch taking you over a top hat and into the actual course. The 2nd launch backward is quite intense and seems to be Premier's signature element on their rides. I rode both the back and the front with the back having a more intense experience on the backward launch but the front has intense elements on the top hats. Maybe I have a bit of a bias towards Premier's collection but that manufacturer continues to pack in great g-forces and always delivers a great experience. 4/5 stars

Airtimes Lap Bar Comodidad Tiempo muerto

I had a couple of very solid rides in the mid-back and third row. The first drop was pretty decent in the mid-back but definitely doesn't compare to Fury 325. I had a much better ride in the third row because it sacrificed that first drop intensity but really gave awesome airtime every time we reached the top of each hill. I think I would have maximized my ride by riding in the very front row but I've heard the very back row is a great ride as well. The lap bar was comfortable and still gave enough room to feel airtime. The day I rode this was super windy in that coaster's area so we didn't experience much trim but we also didn't get as much speed throughout the entire run as I would imagine it could reach. It barely made the score it made for me and almost lost another 0.5 stars but it's still a B&M hyper and those always seem to give consistently good rides. 4/5 stars

Airtimes Fun Layout

I really loved this one. The triple launch throughout the duration was awesome and kept the pacing very random. I got a ton of airtime on a few of those hills after the launch while I was in the front row but overall I prefer riding the back row. You get a surprising amount of ejector on each drop when you sit in the back. The layout was also cool how it worked its way through the water and cave patterns. Those quick turns where you zig-zag through the water made this a perfectly named coaster since it really replicated how a cheetah hunts through the grass. 4/5 stars

Primera caída Fun Capacidad

This is a really fun and underrated ride. I thought the lift hill was so nerve-wracking to be vertical and so tall. This lift seemed even more intense than Hangtime from KBF. The first drop was also fantastic. I only rode this thing once but you get a ton of whip in the back row during the first drop. It also maintains its speed well compared to the Gerstlauer Eurofighters I've ridden. The layout is a lot of fun and also includes a great moment of airtime 3/4's of the way through the ride. The only downfall of this one is poor capacity. The train is short and only seats two per row which leads to long lines. 4/5 stars

Primera caída Capacidad Ejectors Demasiado corto

This is my first experience on a B&M Dive and it exceeded my expectations. I rode once in the front row and in the back row and the first drop gave me completely different experiences. I enjoyed the front row for the view and especially for the long hang moment you get before it releases. The back row ended up being more fun though and this worked on both drops. The first drop in the back was pure ejector and caught me by surprise. The second drop was also massive in the back row. I agree with most reviews and just wish this one was slightly longer but it's still worth a wait. Its capacity is very good though so as long as you don't wait for the front row they start pushing out the second and third rows frequently. 4/5 stars

Inversiones Velocidad Ejectors

This is an incredible addition to the park! This is the first RMC I've ridden where it seemed to get faster as the ride went along which makes for amazing pacing. I thought the first drop was pretty decent and quite steep but I prefer Goliath at SFGAm for now. Where it really shines is the inversions and how whippy they are. I think I got a better back-row ride than front because the front took the inversions too quickly and might have been a bit too intense to enjoy (disorienting). I think the sweet spot would be something like the 3rd or 4th row from the back but I never tried it. The back-row inversions are still incredible but the middle might be the best of both worlds. I thought the first airtime drop midway through was fantastic and so intense. These are the types of airtimes where maximizing intensity is what I strive for. My least favorite part is what most people's favorite part is: The double down. If it was taken at a straight angle I would have enjoyed it so much more but that little kink to the left is slightly jarring and rough. 4.5/5 stars

Tematización ¡Buena sorpresa! Fun Capacidad

This coaster is just straight-up a lot of fun! I don't take the forces too seriously but rather enjoy the effort they put into the theming and just how unique this entire experience is. It's a dark ride but they were able to speed up the typical dark ride experience and make it a fun coaster. The animatronics during the ride are also fun to hear and watch (shouting out the taco stand next door is a cute touch). Like most people said though, the capacity is pretty awful to only send 8 people at at time and have the slow loading and unloading process of a cart with one small entrance/exit for 4 people. Taking the slow elevator lift also kills capacity so it's probably the longest coaster from beginning to end in the park. Ops were great and friendly though! 3/5 stars

Primera caída Obra maestra Ejectors

This is an absolute masterpiece and has become my new #1 coaster. The first drop can go toe-to-toe with any other coaster and I'm torn between Skyrush and this as my favorite first drop. It's pure ejector through and through and the beyond vertical drop is phenomenal. The rest of the layout is just top-notch. This coaster is packed with perfect inversions, violent ejector, and sustained airtime making this just about perfect from beginning to end. I rode this four times in the back row and had no desire to switch because it was great. I wish I marathoned this a bit more but I'm so glad to get as many rides in as I did. I prefer back left over back right just based on how some of the inversions work. 5/5 stars

Capacidad Inversiones Duración

This is my favorite inverted coaster to date. It's everything I want in an invert with the speed, whip, and duration. The first drop is fantastic and you really build speed into that first loop. It was very intense and reminded me of the speed on Afterburn at Carowinds. This also included a batwing element which has easily become my favorite type of inversion/inversions on these inverts. Speeding through the beautiful trenches also added to the amazing experience. The wait was no time at all because the capacity of these B&M inverts is always top-notch. 4.5/5 stars

¡Buena sorpresa! Fun Capacidad

This was such a fun coaster and very unique. I knew it was supposed to be a spinner but when I got on I was very confused as to why the train stayed facing forward during the 1st quarter of the duration. The initial elevator up is also very cool and such a fun way to start a ride. Once you hit that mid-course brake run, spin around, and take that lift hill backward it took on a whole new type of ride. The train becomes loose and spins during that last quarter of the ride and I was able to take some turns quickly while I was completely sideways. I did get a bit nauseous after I got off but I attribute that to not pacing myself during the day. I was able to take some Dramamine and got stabilized. Very fun and I recommend checking it out! 3.5/5 stars

¡Buena sorpresa! Fun Intensidad

This one surprised me the most on my trip to BGT. I thought this layout looked like a pretty normal mid-tier coaster but I was very surprised at how intense it got. The drop into the loop was pretty solid. What really caught me off guard were the helixes but especially the long sustained one at the end that basically did two or three laps around. I normally don't gray out on a coaster but this one got me close and I was quite surprised given how short this coaster actually is. It's very fun and I highly recommend a ride! 3.5/5 stars

Capacidad Duración Torta ¡Decepción!

This one was the most disappointing of the park. Maybe with the high Captain Coaster rating and percentage I thought I would love this one but it just didn't do much for me. I felt like there was way too much headbanging to actually enjoy it and it felt like an old Arrow looper more than a B&M. The layout was pretty solid and this one had amazing capacity but I don't remember too many forces on this one. There were a couple of inversions with fantastic whip to them but I feel like I've ridden better rides. 3.5/5 stars

Airtimes Primera caída Obra maestra

This one is an absolute beast! I've never seen POV videos of this ride be so deceptive and look innocent compared to what you actually feel. The lift starts off super quick and hardly slows down when you get to the top. This is my favorite first drop and it's not even close. That midway kink through the drop practically feels like it ejects you from your seat! Then you get thrown through so many rapid airtime hills throughout the course of the run that is so violent but so rewarding. The turns are a bit whippy and intense leading to some pain but I'm very surprised it's nicknamed "Thighcrush" since my thighs were just fine getting off both times. I rode back row on both the far left and far right wing seats and I slightly prefer the left although they are both fantastic. Both times I got off this one with a massive headache and my only regret was not riding this even more to sacrifice additional brain cells. Controversial opinion but I think this one is better than Wildcat's Revenge and the best in the park! 5/5 stars

Airtimes Primera caída Capacidad

This one is probably my favorite B&M Hyper to date. The first drop has a great max vertical angle and builds up quite a bit of speed. My favorite moment might be the way up on the first hill though. I got such long sustained floater airtime on that first hill and I couldn't believe how long it lasted. This out-and-back layout is great and provides plenty of floater airtime. I really enjoyed the lap around the fountain during the 2nd half and it really had a great touch to interact with the environment. I rode this in the back row two times and the front row once. I got nice ejector airtime in the front but the overall experience is best in the back row. 4.5/5 stars

Capacidad Duración Torta

A solid B&M invert with a somewhat unique layout. It's the first one I've ever ridden that doesn't start with a big first drop but rather a small curve into the much larger one. This is a pretty cool way to introduce the layout and build anticipation. It also felt like a very long duration from the other ones I've ridden. The speed on this one doesn't seem as quick as the Batman's and definitely less whippy. I also experienced a moment of headbanging which I'm not used to on any other B&M invert. Capacity is always outstanding on these though and give very short lines no matter how packed the park is on that day. I would definitely like to ride it again one day. 4/5 stars

Airtimes Launch Ejectors Demasiado corto

I absolutely loved this one. The launch was fantastic and way more "punchier" than I was expecting compared to some launches I've ridden with better stats. Then you get to the top hat and the ejector feeling at the top is incredible. I felt like the inversions were fantastic as well but I ran out of "pro" slots lol. The flying snake dive is something I've never experienced before and it lived up to the hype I was expecting. My only con is it is too short. I've seen Intamin layouts with multiple launches and this one could have been an all-timer if they had room to expand the track and introduce a 2nd launch and experience. Great coaster though, my third favorite in the park! 4.5/5 stars

Fun Capacidad

I really enjoyed this Maurer spinner. The ride itself was very light on spinning compared to rides like Pandemonium and Sierra Sidewinder but it made up for it with a cool, visual experience. I loved the dark setting with the bright neon theming. The drops were quite nice too. You were guaranteed to have drops backward and forward. The downside to this one is awful capacity which is expected on a semi-popular ride with barely any seating (4 to a car). Definitely check it out early when you enter the park and you'll have a fun time! 3.5/5 stars

Duración

I started off the day at Hersheypark with the kiddie coaster. I've been on some with one lap or two but I was surprised this one had you do three straight laps. The hill after the first lift hill surprisingly had some good whip in the back once you got to the top. This should be a great one for kids but the duration might be a trade-off between ride length and line waiting. It depends on what you want out of this but on crowded days I could see the length become an issue. 1/5 stars

Fun Layout Capacidad

This one is probably my favorite spinner to date (excluding Joker vertical spinning). The layout was a lot of fun and even though I experienced a ton of spinning it didn't lead to excessive dizzyness or anything. It was very unpredictable but in a good way where you could take turns backward and not know a clear orientation. Very fun and would ride again! Capacity is abysmal like most mice coasters and spinners so the line was long if I didn't have a Flash Pass. 3.5/5 stars

Fun Intensidad Hangtime

What an intense coaster. The launch is a bit tame compared to others I've experienced but going backward makes it way more thrilling. The really intense part is the first top hat, especially in the back row. I've never felt something like that before. It's quite disorienting but in a very good way. The final vertical spike has some insane hangtime and intensity. The momentum keeps going with the assistance of the magnet to pull you quite high at the top. Then you hit the actual drop doing everything forward and it feels like you get a brand new experience the other way around. I can't say enough good things about it. Although short, it's well worth the wait. 4.5/5 stars

Airtimes Primera caída Layout Incomodidad Tiempo muerto

An awesome wooden coaster in their lineup and I do not think this one needs the RMC treatment like the community suggests (*cough* do it to Screamin' Eagle *cough*). It is a bit rough and retracking wouldn't hurt it but I still had a great time. The first drop is fantastic in the back row and gives great airtime. The laterals on most turnarounds are a bit rough but I don't mind a little roughness around corners anyway. Some parts were so rough my phone fell out of my pocket which was terrifying and never happened to me before. I love the layout of this one too and the duration is fantastic. There are some dead spots where the pacing gets killed a bit (especially on the mid-course break run). I still definitely recommend riding this one and check out the back row for some amazing drops! 3.5/5 stars

Layout Duración Tiempo muerto

A very nice mine train coaster ride. I remember growing up loving this one and feeling it was so intense when I was a kid. After my review ride, I realize it's definitely not as intense as I remember it. It does have a great layout going low to the ground through the terrain and making it feel faster than it actually is. The duration is also quite long so you get a lot of value for a short line ride. Unfortunately, it does feel like it has some dead spots and I think I counted 4 separate lift hills including the one after the tunnel drop which continually kills the momentum. The tunnel drop at the end is still super fun and always packs a surprising punch for what you would expect on this ride. 2.5/5 stars

Tematización Inversiones Layout

There is a reason there are so many Batman clones throughout Six Flags parks and this just confirms how solid the ride is. Although this version is mirrored compared to most versions I've ridden, it still packs the intense forces and inversions you would expect from the layout. The first drop is fantastic and then you get the typical backflip, corkscrew, and backflip which comes at you so quickly that it's hard to process each inversion. This one had no rattle compared to Magic Mountain so it should belong above it. I rode my reviewed ride at Great America and it is still the best clone to date but I also rode it in the evening when it was warmed up. This one still felt very fast and I actually rode it within one hour of the park opening so I was surprised how fast it still ran. 4/5 stars

Inversiones Torta

Surprisingly this is a solid Arrow looper in my opinion. I experienced your normal headbanging on most Arrow loopers but just keeping your head back makes the experience way less painful. It comes with your standard double loop in the beginning then throws in a double corkscrew which is where the pain is. The helix near the ground at the end was decently intense and pretty enjoyable. I would still ride this one again if I were in the St. Louis area and feel like it gets a horrible reputation compared to the other higher-rated Arrows. 3/5 stars Edit: I can't believe this is a Vekoma. Please ignore the Arrow looper comments but this feels so much like one.

Tematización Inversiones Layout

I've ridden a handful of Batman clones and even if this was the original one built, it is the best one so far in my opinion. To this day it still runs so well with hardly any rattle. My review ride was the very front and I think it's worth the wait. You get the most intense whippy elements since the coaster is at its fastest in the front. The drop might be a lot slower than if you were to ride in the back but it's a sacrifice worth making for the intensity of the inversions. Compared to most B&M inverts that aren't this clone, it throws so many inversions and elements to you at a rapid pace. I love the loops, the corkscrews, the batwing element, etc. The theming is a nice touch in the queue line regarding Batman lore. All of this makes for a fantastic ride that doesn't look to be closing any time soon. 4/5 stars

Another fun kids' coaster to pair with Sprocket Rockets. This one is rich with history since it opened all the way back in 1929 at Kiddieland. Again, you won't find intensity but it's a perfect coaster to introduce new riders to since it has a nice drop and decent laterals. 1/5 stars

Suavidad

Fun little junior coaster. Great fit for the park in the kids' section. Not intense at all but also a lot taller and faster than some of the kiddie coasters I've seen in the Cedar Fair parks. I was impressed with the smoothness of this one being from the 90s. 1/5 stars

Primera caída Intensidad Ejectors Demasiado corto

I believe this one is the best coaster in the park. I've ridden it at least 5 times and will always come off shaking because of how intense it is. The lift hill alone gets my nerves going because it's so steep. Outside of Hangtime at Knott's Berry Farm, the lift hill generates the most nerves for me personally. The first drop is absolutely incredible. I've sat in plenty of different rows but the back row is where it's at for the drop (pretty much for all RMCs as well). The first looping right turn is a bit boring but completely understandable given the small area to work with. Once you hit the hills you'll get absolutely fantastic ejector airtime. The zero-g stall is also incredible and probably my second favorite part of the ride outside of the first drop. It would be a bit better if the stall was slower but I still got some great hangtime. As most people said, it's one of the shorter RMCs and could use a little bit of length but also has incredible elements that make this a fantastic ride. 4.5/5 stars

Primera caída Capacidad ¡Buena sorpresa!

This is a fantastic B&M Hyper. I was finally able to get a real ride in the back row and it made all the difference to earn it an extra half-star. I feel all B&M Hypers should have incorporated the pre-drop bounce to get momentum for the real deal. It truly does whip you over the hill for one of the better drops I've experienced on a coaster. Don't sleep on a front-row ride though. I know most B&M Hypers have more airtime hills for sustained floater but even with random trims, I got a lot of floater in the front. Plenty of great drops in the back row throughout the ride though. The helix near the end is also pretty intense. It doesn't keep the speed the entire way through which is a negative but I feel the positives outweigh the negatives. I've never had Raging Bull in my top 3 for the park but this one can comfortably slide in at #2 behind Goliath based on a back-row ride alone. 4.5/5 stars

Tematización Situación Torta

I feel like the theming on this one is fantastic. They introduced their own song when it first opened and continue to play it in the queue line today. It also contains great rock structures and lighting through tunnels showing they put a lot of effort into making it an overall great experience. The first half is way better than the second half. After the lift hill, you turn into an actually decent drop with airtime in the back. You are then hit with a couple of loops that aren't exactly back to back but still give you great sensation. After you crest the hill you get to the part where it's essential to keep your head back. Even if you're very careful I still felt a lot of headbanging with the double corkscrew. I don't believe Arrow ever got the corkscrew correct without discomfort but later models don't hurt as much as this one. The location right in the middle of the park is fantastic too and gives you plenty of options for the next ride. 3/5 stars
