    Airtimes First Drop Fluidité Trop court

    Still a really short ride, but SheiKra managed to get more airtime compared to Griffon. Still a great first drop and it's still a smooth ride.

    Airtimes First Drop Layout

    I loved Nitro. I've been on a bunch of B&M hypers over the past year and while they are tamer than some of your top-end RMC's and Intamin rides, they consistently deliver quality riding experiences and they are by no means devoid of intensity. Nitro was a nice change of pace vs. El Toro and Kingda Ka. And while it's similar to other B&M hypers that I've ridden, it was not the same - it has it's own personality and a few tricks up its sleeve that I found to be great coaster elements (i.e. left bank turn coming out of the first camelback hill, elevating spiral.) Yes the trims can put a damper on things at the end, but the airtimes I experienced prior were fantastic and the lake setting was a nice added touch. Nitro did look like it could use a paint job, but that's me splitting hairs...this is a top-tier B&M hyper in short - really accessible and enjoyable.

    This was decent ride with some nice little airtime moments, but I would like it more if the lap bar didn't push into your gut half the time, and that's coming from a fit person.

    First Drop Situation Chef d'oeuvre

    One of my favorites. The location right in lake Erie is magnificent. The first drop is the best part of the ride, along with some great airtime hills. Unfortunately, newer rides have caused me to give 4.5 stars rather than 5.

    First Drop Débit Fun Trop court Déception ! Airtimes

    While a great first drop and a forceful end, the duration of the ride and a weak middle prevents me from giving this coaster 5 stars.

    I know it's a clone, but I like the SFOG version better. Maybe it's the paint...

    First Drop Inversions Fun Vibrations

    My first RMC raptor track coaster...I really liked it, but didn't love it. I found Jersey Devil (and likely it's counterparts) to be an innovative and unique concept that enables you to experience some of the best elements felt on RMC I-Box coasters in a more compact frame/smaller real-estate footprint. Capacity was not an issue on the day I went as the lines were short (not surprising in November.) The first drop is great. The inversions are great. The zero-g stall is especially great. And the devil theming is pretty cool looking. But it's not as glass smooth and just not in the same league as the newer I-Box coasters (Arie Force, Wildcat's Revenge, Iron Gwazi), which is fine. It's still a really, really, really good coaster...just not great.

    Vitesse Intensité Ejectors Inconfort

    My goodness. El Toro is no joke. We opened and closed our day at SFGA with it and while I thought it would feel tamer on the second go-round, especially after hitting all the other big rides at the park, the second ride actually felt more intense. It almost seemed like the ride was angry at us for daring to underestimate it. Even the wheels were screaming at us! El Toro is aptly named, that's for sure. In terms of the ride elements, it's pacing is relentless. You fly up the lift-hill (I love this from intense Intamin coasters), the first drop is great, but it's the two subsequent camelbacks and resulting airtime that are the seminal elements on the ride. Our second ride was also a night ride and it made every twist and turn seem exceptionally forceful. I've seen many reference how rough El Toro has become. For me, the front was far rougher than the back. The back was fine, the front was barely tolerable. I came as close to blacking out as I've ever felt on a coaster before. I can only imagine how great this ride was in its early days. But two decades in, El Toro still brings it big time!

    First Drop Situation Intensité

    This ride got it all started for me - back in 1982 when my love for roller coasters was born. I grew up 15 minutes from Hersheypark, but Hershey didn't have anything that could compare to the Loch Ness Monster - not at the time. I rode it for the first time when I was 7 years-old and I was simultaneously terrified and enraptured. My father and I still talk about this first ride together nearly 40 years later. As a result, my review is surely enhanced by the nostalgic lens through which I'll always see this ride...but in my mind, the ride was perfect. I rode it again a few times over the years and it never disappointed. I'm going to give a go again in a few weeks...my last ride was in 1993 - I hope it still holds up.
