    Intensité Hangtime Trop court

    Personally I feel like the Intamin Impulse is a very underrated coaster. Especially in the front or back row. Fast but comfortable launch. The hang time and the front and back of the ride are both airless and very enjoyable. One of the better gimmick models!

    Airtimes First Drop Ejectors

    Every time I return to King's Dominion over the last year it seems like they've retracked even MORE of this ride. As of this past weekend only a few spots have not been. Basically every element hits with the retracking now. Grizzly is 100% a back row ride. Almost exclusively. In the back row it's truly incredible. The lap bars can be a pain if you get stapled, but it's fairly easy - especially if you're a little larger or have larger legs - to steal that extra click or two of room. It's very easy for me to get that lap bar to leave me with... 10-12 inches of space. If you can manage extra room with the lap bar, this ride skyrockets to a near 10 out of 10. I'm on my feet on every drop. There's ejector, laterals, even laterals while it's providing ejectors leading to crazy like... diagonal ejector. Running as smooth as it is right now, and with the ability to sorta... game the restraints... it's one of the greatest wooden coaster experiences I have ever had. Massively re-rideable and an incredible feat by the Gravity Group for the re-track work they've done. I will die on the Grizzly hilly until it proves otherwise. One of my top wooden coasters. Also, shoutout to the second drop into the double-down in a tunnel!

    Fun Fluidité

    This ride does exactly what it's supposed to. It's a fun kids/family ride. It's not super intense but you can still get a little air and some intensity throughout. As it's fairly new it's also incredibly smooth. Vekoma has done a great job on this model recently as many of them run much smoother than older kid/family coasters

    Harnais Inconfort Temps mort

    I have heard the surprise airtime - dropping into the tunnel at the end - is a saving grace for this old mine train. Even in the back row I was... disappointed. The rest of the ride is slow and forceless, and while old mine train cars can be a little cramped, this one hurt my legs as the transitions often caused me to slam into the sides and front of the car. Would not willingly ride again

    Vibrations Baffes

    Not the worst as far as boomerangs go. There are certainly others that run much more rough and are more uncomfortable. Not a great ride, but definitely more bearable than others

    Fun Layout Débit

    I really enjoy these Gerstlauer spinners. They spin pretty good and pretty consistently and the layouts are more extreme than some other spinning coasters. Not the most thrilling ride, but a TON of fun for sure!

    Airtimes Layout Vibrations Inconfort

    The first ride I got on this coaster was a pleasant surprise. I had heard... not great things. But upon re-rides it got worse and worse. I really like the layout and the stats of this coaster. Generally speaking It's got a lot going for it. And while a bit of roughness and rattle is ok - and can even be endearing - on old wooden coasters, it was far too bad on Boss. The trains are fine except for the final stretch into the breaks when there is an oddly placed pop of air into an immediate break that caused me to smash my knees into the seat in front of me all while the restraints clicked down a notch further. I hope they can bring in GCI or Gravity Group to retrack this ride - as expensive as a ride this long would be. If they can get it running smoother and by extension run it a little faster, it has potential to be a huge sleeper hit. Until then... it's a one and done anytime I'll be visiting the park

    Débit Fun Temps mort

    I'm a little surprised at the hate this ride gets. While it's nothing special, I did not find it to be super rough, nor are the transitions as jarring as they can be on other older Arrow type coasters. The layout is... fine. Nothing special. But I got a little air and some good intensity - especially in the back. As long as you can get your head either above or in front of the restraint, the ride runs fairly smooth as well. And that's true for all original Arrow style trains - so I'm not entirely sure why Ninja gets more hate than other old Arrow coasters. It's not a stunning ride, but as far as old Arrows go (and yes I know Vekoma had to come in to finish building it) it's definitely better than many of them - looking at you corkscrew (Cedar Point)

    Situation Déception ! Inconfort Sans intérêt

    Pegasus was nothing more than disappointing. A dull discomfortable ride with nothing really fun in it besides the first drop. The location beside the water made a nice view. Good thing they tore it down.
