Théma Chef d'oeuvre Layout Baffes

I love Nemesis. Not for its "intensity" as advertised, (far more intense coasters exist out there) but for the relentless layout that seems to build speed as you traverse it, the dives into the valleys after every element, and especially that zero G roll with the near miss. I honestly couldn't care less that I sometimes get my head whipped against the restraint in the inversions, everything else makes up for it.

Fun Fluidité Layout

The sensations on this ride are incredible. It truly is an amazing layout, and flying so close to the scenery and through those inversions is so comfortable and satisfying.

First Drop Layout Hangtime Trop court

This certainly packs a punch. Short but very re-rideable.

Bonne suprise ! Fun

For some reason I found Green Scream hilariously fun. Great to ride with a group.

Fluidité

Weirdly comfortable kiddie ride.

First Drop Fun

Surprisingly good first drop for a family ride, not too interesting after that though.

Airtimes First Drop Situation Trop court Intensité

Griffon is my new favorite dive coaster, besting both Valravn and SheiKra. It’s a floaty and fun coaster that doesn’t offer a lot in the way of intensty, but the two vertical drops and airtime hill into the splashdown provide some GREAT floater airtime! The first immelmann has some hangtime, and Griffon’s looming stature over the rest of the park makes this iconic coaster hard to miss. The location right along the Rhine river compliments this coaster, and makes for an even more thrilling second dive. Also, I got to ride Griffon with some Premier Rides employees! =)

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar

Excellent re-rideable hyper with addictive airtime.

First Drop Intensité Longueur Temps mort

Titan is a pretty underrated coaster. The first drop is a fun moment that makes you realize how fast this coaster’s 85mph really is, and the “airtimeless hill” actually gave some good floater air. The helix following nearly made me black out, but I emerged victorious. Then the coaster went downhill from there, as the midcourse nearly stopped the train. The drop off of the midcourse is surprisingly tall and whippy, followed by a session of lateral-heavy and quick turns right into the brakes, which are certainly not as intense as the helix pre-midcourse but still good fun. Titan holds its own against the other hypercoasters I’ve ridden due to its intensity-focused layout and sheer size.

Théma Inversions Intensité

Alpengeist was my unexpected favorite out of the great collection of coasters Busch Gardens Williamsburg currently has on offer. I call it “Montu on terrain, but ALMOST as good” — an accurate depiction of this top 20 coaster for me. Nothing can beat the sheer intensity of Montu’s batwing and second half, but Alpie comes pretty darn close during its very snappy and G-heavy cobra roll! The headbanging can easily be avoided if you know where to brace for it (bottom of first drop, drop out of midcourse, cobra roll, generally the transitions out of all 6 inversions), and the chalets make for some great legchoppers as your train roars above or even through them. I adore the thematic touches to the ride; most notably including the detailed station, ski trough segment after the final inversion, ski boards latched onto Alpengeist’s trains, and obviously the chalets.
