    Launch Trop court

    Big Dipper is an interesting ride. Obviously, Luna Park didn't have a huge footprint to work with, and they did a reasonably good job with this Intamin Hot Racer. The second launch is fantastic, the inversions are great, and the ride feels fast and well-paced. However, it's still incredibly short, and the light 7-seater trains have a huge rattle in the back seats. Could be much better than what it is.

    Intensité Trop court

    Tower of Terror was an institution. There is no describing or matching this experience, except for riding its clone. The launch, the incredible speed, the feeling of being weightless at a height that seemed so unimaginable... If this ride wasn't consistently down for maintenance, running with low capacity and only 30 seconds long, I would give it five stars. I remember it so fondly.

    Layout Vibrations

    I have to start this review by disclosing that this ride is a little bit rough. It does have a rattle, particularly exiting the second corkscrew. But all the complaints in these reviews are way overboard. If you can tolerate a mild rattle, your reward is a magnificent straight drop with sustained floater airtime, two whippy corkscrews, some slamming positives in the valleys and some surprise lateral moments in between. It's a great, varied layout full of force and it deserves more credit.

    Ejectors Temps mort

    Atlantis Adventure was hyped up to me perhaps a little too much. I expected a world-class ride. What I got was a great first launch, some unexpected ejector airtime, and other than that, a ride that felt too short and poorly paced. However, it still stood out for its theming, airtime and launch. It's a great ride - just don't set your expectations too high.

    Airtimes Trop court

    Wow! Roaring Timbers is fantastic! The use of the terrain, the laterals, the airtime, the smoothness, the theming... I could go on and on. Sun World are really onto a winner here, I just wish that it had better capacity and was slightly longer. What a great ride, really! By far my favourite wooden coaster at the time of writing!

    Théma Débit

    Leviathan might be one of the best-themed wooden coasters in the world. Its queue area, station and pre-show elements are fantastic. The ride itself lives up to the hype, with good airtime and a surprisingly long, action-packed layout. The backwards experience is also worth doing, although it is already very intense with the roughness of a wooden coaster, and I expect that it will not age well. Unfortunately, the pre-show slows operations down terribly, reducing the throughput to a standstill. However, it's definitely among Australia's best coasters!

    First Drop Intensité Ejectors Vibrations

    I came into my first ride on Skyrush with extremely high expectations...as much as anything I've ever ridden outside of Steal Vengeance. I love big, intense Intamin coasters...i305 is a top 3 for me. And SkyRush is a fantastic ride, but it didn't quite deliver for me what I was hoping. I wanted it to become a top 3 and it just didn't. It's not even a top 3 at Hersheypark for me at the moment. The express first hill lift was fantastic, the first drop is unbelievable and the ejectors were solid throughout - all things I was looking forward to experiencing. The restraints were not an issue at all for me despite all the criticism around them from others. All these things pointed to a world class coaster...and it is world class. BUT, this is the first coaster I've ridden of this caliber where the rattle greatly impacted my perspective and experience. It was extremely pronounced and it took some of the shine off things. My 9 year-old daughter felt the same way. She liked Skyrush a lot, but it wasn't as good for us as Candymomium or Storm Runner. I do want to give it another shot. The weather really limited our repeat riding ability. We didn't sit in the wings, which I've heard is truly special. And I was nervous my daughter was going to think it was too much, so I was slightly distracted keeping an eye on her while riding. But it really comes back to the rattle. It made the ride feel past its prime to me...and like an aggressive, physical running back who plays the game really hard (the best metaphor I can think of for Skyrush) - the decline can come fast. I certainly hope that this is not the case here. We'll hopefully give it another shot with clearer skies when we visit next year.

    A very accessible and innovative ride with some unique elements (vs anything else we've ridden) and snappy thrills. My daughter and I went on this not quite knowing what we were getting ourselves into. She was age 7 at the time...and we both lenjoyed it...she loved it. UPDATED: Awful second experience in the darkness as part of Dark Nights. Others may enjoy, but I haven't felt right since riding...too much spinning without any sense of bearings = no good for me.

    Airtimes Vitesse Ejectors

    Went on Wildcat's Revenge on an extremely rainy day. Was thrilled it was open and was happy to accept the reality that we'd be pelted with raindrops throughout our rides in order to get on it during our visit. The good news was that there were virtually no lines to speak of and we were able to ride multiple times in a short window. The bad news - the rain hurt and probably impacted my view of the ride ever so slightly. Overall, WR was my 6th RMC and I'd put it at #4, just a notch below ArieForce, but better than Twisted Timbers and Twisted Cyclone. The first hill is solid, the first ejector is as good as anything I've felt since Steel Vengeance and the combination of elements really came together well to provide a remarkable ride. I thought the theming was pretty strong too - I liked the cats in all their forms and who doesn't like a revenge theme. I've been spoiled by a heavy RMC ride volume this summer and everything I've ridden has felt a bit secondary to Steel Vengeance so I wasn't blown away per se. But, there's nothing not to like here. It is a fantastic ride with a healthy length and a wicked combination of elements that have this ride justifiably creeping into the top 10-15 global coasters rankings.

    This ride is absolutely insane. It's a rough ride but if you sit on an inner seat you should be fine.
