I've been on both sides of this coaster and the Hungarian Horntail/Blue/Ice side is better than the Chinese Fireball/Red/Fire side. I love that it's more diverse in inversions, while the turn around after the lift hill was lame but the inversions from what I can remember were fun and snappy. It is a little (and I mean a tiny) bit rougher than the other side but this one is a lot more exciting. If I go to Universal next time (I really don't want to because they're being lazy with their new rides lately), I will be looking forward to Hagrids to see how it counters with this ride.

I've been on both Dragon Challenge coasters as they are different. The Chinese Fireball/Red/Fire side is more critically acclaimed than the Hungarian Horntail/Blue/Ice side. While I do think the Chinese Fireball side is fun but I don't think it is really as intense as the other one. The immelmans were fun, I think this side kinda lacked something... a zero-g-roll and a cobra roll. I didn't ride it while dueling so I can't say my opinions about it while dueling. If I go to Universal next time (I really don't want to because they're being lazy with their new rides lately), I will be looking forward to Hagrids to see how it counters with this ride.

This classic mine train is more of a relaxing one rather than an intense one... probably for the better because the other one (at Six Flags Great Adventure) is a pain machine. This coaster gives off some great views of Storm Runner and just gives you time to enjoy the scenery as it feels more secluded than other rides at the park. Despite tiny bumps, the coaster is rather smooth and the restraint is actually tolerable. It's fun if you are not expecting much.

The first looping coaster in the East Coast, this ride is a classic! The ride starts off with a drop that is not very steep and lasts pretty long. The ride then shoots into one of Schwarzkopf's signature loops which is a bit more circular than others, it gives riders a lot of G-Forces, it's pretty intense. Then the ride performs a rising turn which surprised me because that one has some laterals but the rest of the ride meanders around the terrain. I do wish the ending was a little better after the loop but for what they had to work with... Sooperdooperlooper is a pretty fun and enjoyable ride.

I rode this before they put in the weight limit, I thought it was a pretty good, secluded in the woods, fun wooden roller coaster. There is some weak but noticeable airtime and the ride is overall fun. The ride is rather bumpy in places but it's really fun, I do understand why they have the weight limit but I wish they at least increase it.

A great and rare Wild Mouse coaster! This coaster is weird from the get-go as the lift hill is tilted. The entire ride is pretty janky from the turns to the ejector airtime, to the weird banking at the end of the ride. This one is also one of the more intense coasters of it's kind as well. My only problem is the brakes are very sudden and rough. I just wish either Idlewild can take care of it, or they tear it down to put a new coaster there. Every time I go to Idlewild, it's always closed and ever since the Rollo Coaster has a weight limit, your best bet for fun without getting sick at the park (because the park has billions of spinning rides) is the Daniel Tiger ride.

This feels like a typical wooden coaster from the golden days but it's smoother (because it's made of steel), it's not very forceful but for a family ride... it doesn't need to be that way. I'm surprised on how smooth it is for it's age but yet the coaster next to it (Wild West Express) is the roughest steel coaster I've been on. It's also pretty enjoyable as the drops and the helix at the end are pretty fun. A classic Schwarzkopf being preserved (as those are more rare to find than Arrows).

A decent indoor coaster, not a lot of effort to theming but I prefer a good ride over good theme. The turns are fun but I think the main focus is the ejector you get in the back car. You get whipped on that first drop. The rest of the ride is nothing special, and it's pretty bumpy. I prefer The Dark Knight Coaster because it is longer and the exit doesn't contradict to the dark theme.

Surprisingly intense for a family coaster. I rode this ride in the back and especially coming back to the station, the ride gets really intense in laterals. It's not super intense but I was kind of shocked for it to be that intense for a ride that small.

A hidden gem in Hershey's line-up. This is my favorite Wild Mouse because not only is it intense, but it's also very smooth in the process. The turns and the hills/drops don't even have a single bump in them and the ride's pacing never lets up which is great for a Wild Mouse. These kind of coasters usually have a moment or two of pain but not this one. Extremely underrated but doesn't fit in HersheyPark's coaster line-up.

A true Arrow classic! The ride gets things off into a lift hill that takes a very long time. The coaster then does a straight down drop to the Rhine River before flying through a turn into the first vertical loop. The two loops on this coaster are very forceful, the hill before the mid-course brake run has a great pop of airtime and the majority of the ride is actually pretty smooth... until the tunnel. The tunnel holds what I call "The Helix Of Death", many people say it on other coasters... this is helix is what I define as a that term. This helix is nothing but pure headbanging torture. I'd say keep your head very still in order to not get beat up. The coaster itself is beautiful and enjoyable, probably my favorite Arrow (I haven't been on Magnum XL-200 or Tennessee Tornado by the time of this review).

This is one of the reasons why I'd say good rides over good theming. This spinning wild mouse is extremely overrated, the ride itself is super painful throughout the turns and even the hills/drops feel like torture. The ride has very janky transitions (the double-up after the second drop) and the spinning almost goes too far to the point where you get sick. Thankfully I didn't get so dizzy to the point where I throw up but I can stomach the craziest rides. The theming is okay but the ride is awful. I'd gladly trade the Dark Knight Coaster at Great Adventure from this.

I am reviewing this side because I ride this side a lot. Probably one of my least favorite wooden coasters, not due to it being overly rough, but just how forceless it is. Sure it has a couple of airtime moments which is prominent in the back, but the rest of the ride feels like it does nothing. The racing aspect is pretty exciting, and the layout is unique (thus why I mentioned it) as it is a Mobius loop. If it wasn't for that and if the ride was much newer, I would've hated it now but for as it is... it's okay.

Probably my favorite woodie at Kennywood. The ride starts out with a drop into a tunnel... decent laterals in there. The highlight of the ride is that double-down. You get powerful ejector airtime with only a railing-like restraint and a seatbelt, you just go flying out of your seat... you can even hear the train go off the tracks for a bit, it is insane! This is one of my favorite coaster moments. It is best experienced in the back row. Then it's literally the same as the first half but the final drop is bigger. The way up has that little jank that looking at the POVs made me a little nervous because it looks like there was a lot of G-Forces, it did feel like a bump. The ride is good because of this double-down, if it weren't for that... then I would've gave it a much lower score.

Probably one of the most underrated indoor coasters, this is because Six Flags doesn't have a good budget to add any impressive themeing. I don't care because I prefer a good ride over good themeing. The preshow itself is really fun, but the ride is a typical Wild Mouse layout. This Wild Mouse really doesn't hold to HersheyPark's Wild Mouse, but it's fun either way. The lift hill launches right off, then slowed down... then shoots off again, then the turn afterwards was sloped which got me off-guard. The turns were fun but the drops were a little bumpy. Try it out if you can.

I've been on two SLCs by the time of this review (the other one is at Darien Lake), this is the worse of the two. The ride is literally falling apart (one of the shells on the top of the train was loose, not a good thing and the floor squeaks when it comes down). The lift hill spells disaster as the cars shift from left to right, on wooden coasters... it's okay because they were not meant to be perfect but this is horrible. Then it's a headbanging assault throughout every moment of the ride. Even your arms will not be saved as they're covered by the horrible restraint. It's a course of suffering and misery, but not all of it is horrible. At least it is somewhat intense but that doesn't say much. Six Flags really doesn't do much with this park so I'm sorry to say that this monstrosity will be around.

A pretty bad B&M for sure. The layout is not really that exciting and the whole entire ride is nothing but headbanging. I was even expecting some bit of it to be a little forceful (like a couple of the turns and the vertical loop) but I didn't get those either. Even the straight sections have severe headbanging and a horrible rattle. My only excuse on why it's not the lowest is because it's B&M's first coaster and the restraints are not terrible (although with Mind Eraser, it doesn't feel like rocks hitting your ears). It's still the worst extreme steel coaster I've ridden.

A great Spaghetti-Bowl coaster with no trims. The ride starts out with a good launch (not my favorite), into a couple inversions. One thing that this ride has that some of the indoor versions of the Spaghetti-Bowl (Flight Of Fear) doesn't that they haul through the turns. All of the inversions and every turn feel forceful and snappy. This thing is relentless, ending off with a whippy corkscrew. The ride does have a very noticeable rattle, it's not horrible because you are in a lap bar but it's enough to somewhat downgrade it. If you thought the Flight Of Fear clones were slow, try this one out.

A killer woodie! I got in expecting the worst as every bump in the track might murder me, but it turns out... I was blown away! The ride was really smooth and there is a lot of airtime. The first hills, the double-dip, and the hill afterwards give out amazing airtime. My only gripe is that the section before the helix doesn't really do anything, but the helix itself absolutely destroys the Thunderbolt's (Kennywood) lateral turns, and you can ride this alone. While it being over 100 years old but it still really holds up to this day!

While a very rough ride... but with the Millennium Flyer trains, the ride is not too painful. I have to say that the ride does need the Ghost Rider treatment (GCI has retracked/rebuilt the entire ride in 2016) but for what it is, Wildcat is a pretty enjoyable coaster. The ride is surprisingly forceful, the pacing is really good, and the layout is fun. If it weren't for it's roughness, the ride would be marathonable but I accept it for what it is. Don't RMC this please!

Probably the smoothest coaster I've been on (with the exception of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Disney's Magic Kingdom). The turn-around after the lift hill is surprisingly intense (sadly I kinda knew it ahead of time, otherwise that would've caught me off guard), then the first drop gave off some decent floater. The first two inversions, the vertical loop and the immelmann are really smooth but don't have a lot to offer when it comes to their intensity. Then you literally FLY through the zero-g-roll, it's a really snappy inversion, then the corkscrew is even better. It manages to make my head lean towards the restraint but not cause headbanging... it's very intense but smooth. I wish the end of the ride included one last turn around to the Coal Cracker and the water to make an interesting effect before heading into the brake run. I was expecting this ride to not be that forceful, part of it is... part of it is not.

A great ride with a unique layout! The airtime and speed make this a top coaster in all the lists and I can see why. The ride has a unique concept of having the second drop be the biggest drop. The sensation of speed is crazy and the g-forces on the fan turn are intense but it's the airtime hills at the very end is what makes this a stand-out coaster, my problem with the ride is that the lift hill takes forever and with a ride that short... it somewhat feels disappointing but the ride overall is amazing!

This is the ride that got me into Aerosmith and even to rock music (then heavy metal), this is probably my favorite coaster at the Disney parks in Florida. The theme in the queue is okay. When on the ride, the launch is actually pretty intense (probably more so than Joker's Jinx at Six Flags America, a ride with a similar layout... and that had a lap bar). The sea-serpent element is quite forceful but the turns throughout the ride don't really do anything and if you're not careful, you could get some headbanging. The corkscrew was enjoyable, but I think what really makes it a great ride is that it's indoors and the Aerosmith music really sets the tone. A somewhat underrated ride.

This (comparing to the Space Mountain at Disneyland which look... meh) is rather underrated. While it is rough, but it's tons of fun. You actually get some decent airtime throughout the layout, and the turns are quite intense... yet again it's in the dark. The ride is kinda janky at points and the weird seats made is somewhat worse but it wasn't to the point where it ruins my whole day (unlike a couple of coasters/flat rides). Give this one a chance.
