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.

Goodness, this ride gave me more of a thrill than I was expecting. And I don't think I was alone. The screams coming off Tempesto surpassed anything I heard on Apollo's Chariot and rivaled Pantheon. I realize it's a clone and may lack for originality, but as my first of this type of coaster (Sky Rocket II), it gave me everything I was looking for and packed quite a punch. If only it could be a little longer.

Situation Inconfort Sans intérêt

This ride has a fantastic location within the park and looks like it could have something special going on from the outside lookin in. Alas, it does not. I also found it really uncomfortable as my knees were bashed the entire ride. Granted, I have fairly long legs at 6'3". There were some little ones screaming/enjoying it - which is why I didn't give it a "Tear it down" con. Someone enjoys it...it just wasn't me. Feels like the real-estate and space could be leveraged to create something much more interesting.

Sans intérêt

This was a bad wild mouse hidden in the dark. The kids might enjoy it, so I'm sure it has a role in the park's broader vision, but I was really underwhelmed.

Bonne suprise ! Launch Intensité

In spite of all the hype over nearly two decades, you can’t really be prepared for Kingda Ka the first time you ride it. It felt more like a NASA or SpaceX tryout than a rollercoaster. What an incredible experience!

Inversions Fun Inconfort

Good coaster overall but not as good as other coasters Alton Towers has to offer. Main setback is that the harnesses caused a bit of discomfort and I felt too pinned down to properly enjoy it. The flying coaster novelty is still enjoyable though

Fun Vibrations

Yes it's very rattly and old but I had fun on this one. Far better and smoother than the big dipper when it comes to the ancient wobbly coasters that pleasure beach is known for. You get exactly what you expect but it's not awful

Fun Fluidité

This is great, even if it wasn't as intense as I would've liked. It's incredibly smooth and the restraints were super comfortable. It's by far the best coaster in the park

Fun Intensité Layout Inconfort

This ride is awesome! If you ride facing backwards the lift is already exciting as you're fighting to stay upright. You go through a great twister layout, with great laterals, positives, and snaps. That helix is also insane, seeing as how it is a gray out moment on a family coaster! The spinning adds to awesome layout. The only issue I have is the roughness, there are definitely parts of the ride where it is shaky, but it's not detracting from the ride experience. If you have time at Knott's do this ride, it is so worth your time!

Confort Vitesse Intensité Théma Débit

This is a flyer built on top of a mountain, such that you get a real strong sensation of HEIGHT throughout the ride. Photos of the coaster don't show this very well. Frankly, Tatsu feels a lot more like "Superman" than the Superman ride. The height sensation just amplifies the already very good course. I just wish it didn't always have such long waits.
