Airtimes Inversions Vitesse

Talon is one of my favorite inverts, and the coaster that made my trip to Dorney worthwhile. The loop and Immelmann are forceful, the zero-g roll and flat spin are whippy, and there are two excellent helices. Plus, this coaster, this B&M invert, has airtime. Once on the drop before the flat spin, and again upon the exit of the final helix. The balance and variety of forces is impeccable. The layout is well placed and the pacing is without flaw. The coaster is gorgeous, with an electric looking yellow and orange track with a softer blue support, made even more stunning by the green trees around the layout, so the colors of the ride take up 2/3 of the color wheel for a striking appearance of an awesome, deceivingly huge coaster. Badass ride, and a big sleeper hit.

Situation A raser ! Sans intérêt

Even on a smooth non wheel seat, this coaster still manages to be a pile of rotting wood. Boring, devoid of force, a boring layout, and a structure that creaks as the train goes along at a trudgingly slow pace. The lakeside location is nice but that's about it. Replace it with a GCI, RMC it if it's possible for this pile of junk, whatever.

Headbanging and terrible profiling once again ruins the fantastic layout (in theory) of the SLC. The landscaping is gorgeous with this one, too bad the paint is chipping.

It's really sad that Arrow only made a handful of mice, because this is by far the best steel mouse I've ever ridden. The turns weren't too tight, the drops were sharp, the transitions weren't jarring, the pace was excellent, it had more drops and turns than most have, and the train was actually roomy and comfortable. But best of all, it's pretty, and it has character. Bright blue and yellow, a big multi color sign, and it actually has trees around and in the layout! I almost skipped it, but my little cousin wanted to ride it, and I got the credit with her. Biggest surprise of the park.

Probably the most boring corkscrew coaster I've yet ridden. It's still fun, but when Arrow's worst profiled inversion type is your one and only element besides a drop and turn, no helix or loop or airtime, it leaves a lot to be desired. Still looks pretty though!

Smooth. Elegant. Classic. Shivering Timbers is simply a joyride for the floater airtime enthusiast. However, that's also the main con. The layout is predictable, redundant, and uncreative. I do love the location though, away from the rest of the park, overgrown by weeds and on a dirt path. I didn't even notice we were near a parking lot, and it was cool for it to be the first thing you see coming into the park. I also love the signage with the flowers, which seemed the prettiest thing in the whole park. The fact that it was the only coaster running more than one train proves that CF knows this ride is a diamond in the rough. My favorite touch is the finale, a great helix with excellent laterals. I think laterals and helixes improve woodies tremendously, and without it I'd give Shivering Timbers a 7. But a good helix on an awesome CCI is just that good.

This ride is muuuch better than the other Fun Spot Hi-Miler. This one does not feature the wacky profiling present on the first two drops of Hurricane. It's smaller, so it's faster paced and more forceful. And instead of being placed over brick, it's placed over grass, which is a step up for location. Still, it's a little uncomfortable, and not too memorable.

Twisted Typhoon, while still a lousy ride, is my favorite SLC. The tracking, rattle, and restraints are awful. SLCs geniunely scare me. However, the color scheme is drop dead gorgeous. And the location is absolutely beautiful, for a very biased reason. The ground is absolutely littered with pine needles, and the whole layout has a perimeter of pine trees. The station feels like a backwoods cabin. Most of my childhood summer camps were out in pine forests, so the image of pine needles all over the ground with the trees towering over is a very nostalgic one. Riding Twisted Typhoon feels like my weekend campsite has a bonus roller coaster that they bought off the shelf, and I'm riding it. I love it to bits.. but I also hate it because it's extremely rough and terrifying for my pockets.

Crappy Boomerang with an ugly paint job.

Cheetah Hunt.. er, just Cheetah, is a mixed bag. On one hand, the gerstlauer trains have a very spacious lap bar, but track poorly and are not cushioned at all. And the track hasn't had a major refurbishment in years, so you'll only get a bearable ride in the front. On the other hand.. this ride is so much fun! Floater airtime, laterals, a location literally in the middle of the safari train area, and an excellent layout. My fanboy enthusiasm for CCI shines through with this one, and made the one time trip for credits to Wild Adv that much more worth it.
