    Airtimes Situation Fun

    A hilariously fun and classic wooden wild mouse. Packed with surprising airtime moments and scary laterals, in a brilliant location next to the water and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

    Temps mort Layout

    The layout is so poor, turns are way too wide and transitions way too slow. All the speed from the launch is completely underutilised. Jet Rescue at Sea World, built after this, got the formula for motorbike coasters right by tightening the corners and with it's whippy transitions.

    Gatekeeper surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, so much that I went back in line for a second ride! Its beautiful setting at the front gate of Cedar Point — which I disappointingly never used in any of my two-day stay — and along the beach only improves what is a very good coaster on its own. My favorite moment has to be the dive drop, because hanging upside down for what felt like an eternity ended up as a great start to an enjoyable ride. While it may not have many G forces, there is a decent moment of air on the so-called “airtimeless hill” before the massive corkscrew. However, after this ride, I began to garner a loathing of the B&M vest restraints which I had not understood others’ hatred for — until I rode Gatekeeper. Overall, though, this is a really fun coaster and for me it is my #3 at Cedar Point; just behind Millennium Force and Maverick.

    Airtimes Bonne suprise ! Confort Trop court

    For a 50 year old coaster, Blue Streak gave some unexpectedly good airtime. I was out of my seat during most of the first half, just before the turnaround, which caught me off guard — as I had not anticipated any reminiscence of airtime or G-forces. Controversially, I would rank this as my 5th favorite coaster at Cedar Point, ahead of rides like Raptor, Rougarou and Magnum XL-200. Blue Streak packs a punch for its older age!

    Théma Fun Intensité Temps mort

    While it may not be as intense as its Tampanian brother, Hulk still delivers in terms of theming, thrills and pacing... right up until you hit the mid-course. I wish Universal would’ve worked with B&M to redesign the entire second half, since they had gone through all the effort to rebuild the track; however, it’s not a major issue, as Hulk still warrants 4 stars from me. The zippy launch in the tunnel sequence never got old on all 5 of my rides, and the cobra roll over the water is a picturesque but nevertheless intense manuever. I surprisingly enjoyed the dive into the misty tunnel, which the water provided some relief from the heat of April in Orlando, and the second loop was decently intense. Overall this is tied with Rip Ride Rockit (a surprising candidate) for my favorite coaster at Universal Orlando Resort.

    Airtimes Bonne suprise ! Longueur Temps mort Fiabilité

    Going in I was told that Rip Ride Rockit was an abysmal, rough and jerky ride. But I was very pleasantly surprised, hence my 4-star rating. This coaster has some good pops of sustained floater air in the beginning, and decent G’s towards the end — with the middle of the ride making up a notable “dead spot.” My favorite element probably has to be the inclined loop (a “Plot Twist” per Universal’s marketing scheme), which pulls some great laterals. The first drop is also pretty fun because of the unrestrictive lap bars. However, some of the transitions are a bit awkward, most notably the rises into the first and second mid-courses which give this kind of odd sensation of experiencing airtime while being shuffled to the side of your seat. Two crazy experiences I had with this coaster is when going in for a second ride, our train stopped just before the lift hill. A minute later we were evacuated off the ride and given a free Express Pass, which I later used for my third ride. And on the fourth ride, I was rocking out to the Jackson 5 when our train stopped on the brake run just before the last. The speakers still blared for another minute, but finally our train crawled forward and completed the rest of the circuit. It was a great end to a great day.

    Honestly- one of the better SLCs, not too much headbanging and not that rough.

    Airtimes Situation Confort Déception !

    Had really high hopes for this: but, i ended up not really liking it. Probably due to the fact that i only rode this one time and got stapled on it, but i will have to ride it again, kinda.
