Vitesse Chef d'oeuvre Intensité Inconfort

This is, without a doubt an absolute masterpiece and my current Number 1 coaster. This thing is just nuts, full stop. I`m not too sure how this coaster manages to do what it does in regards to physics but it manages to do it with a lift hill height of only 42ft. That drop (or dip to be more accurate) might look pathetically small but it builds up enough speed to absolutely HAUL you through that first corkscrew (plus, disengaging off that lift hill in the back of the train, you get violently yanked forward). This is followed by the most intense sequence of elements I have ever experienced. A helix which more often than not forces you into grey out followed by a ridiculously fast Zero G Roll, providing a foot chopper moment that still gets you every time. Nemesis then takes it`s turnaround (which still surprisingly intense) before throwing you into one of the most force filled Vertical Loops you will likely ever go through. It then takes a slight breather, traversing over a turn with few forces. But that doesn`t matter too much, because before you know it you are getting thrown through a ridiculously low to the ground final Corkscrew with insane levels of whip. Followed by a turn sequence into the brakes, which you go flying into. Up until this point, I`ve done nothing but praise Nemesis. So what are it`s cons? Essentially, the ting ain`t exactly the smoothest on the block now. Don`t go in expecting what I would classify as "rough" or a "rattle", but about one in every three rides in my experience (oddly specific I know) you will get a jolt or two. These jolts are most common sitting in the front or back of the train and on either of the corkscrews, particularly the last one. I won`t lie, it does hurt and it will leave you with a red ear. But, judging by how intense it is and it`s age, it`s a wonder that it is not way worse. And as I mentioned earlier there is a spot where it does take a little breather. But other than that, there are no bad words that I can say about Nemesis. Sure, bigger and better may have come along since. But this was built in 1994, has lasted until 2022 and is getting retracked next year (I bloody hope it don`t get ruined) so it lasts for A LOT longer. Simply put, B&M don`t make them like this anymore. If you want to experience the peak of their golden age of intensity and innovation, then head on down to Alton Towers to ride a coaster that still consistently ranks very high in world rankings to the day. You won`t be dissapointed

First Drop Situation Fun Débit

It was incredible. I would ride it 1000 times. The only downside was when I was visiting Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Iron Rattler was only running 1 train and you couldn't really pick where you were going to sit. The ride operator told us where to sit so that everyone could get a ride on it. I doubt it is like this all the time but the ride was so fun that it makes up for the limited capacity. I loved it!

Airtimes Inversions Chef d'oeuvre

Just when you think the ride is coming to an end, you get a second run which holds up to the first half. Inversions you can't see coming and layout of the track make for some fantastic moments. ?

Launch Fluidité Longueur Déception ! Temps mort

Had to ride this twice to get a good feel for it and though the second time was slightly more enjoyable, it left me wanting more as soon as it ended. Nice views and theming but I like ending a coaster with a grin on my face.. this one did not.

Bonne suprise ! Vitesse Layout Lap Bar

One of my top 20 coasters. The second drop is one of my favorite coaster moments - I love that gradual build-up of speed as you descend that hill. Coming out of the ravine, you can really feel the speed of the coaster, particularly on the banked curves. I'd prefer a different lap bar/restraint for the airtime hills near the end, which I found to be just a little too jarring.

Baffes Inconfort A raser !

I've ridden 207 coasters and this jewel is #207. It gave my head such pressure and discomfort for only a 25 second ride. Advil please. This was one and done.

Situation Vitesse Intensité Temps mort

Not to be missed. Best location for a wooden coaster I've seen except maybe Beast and Voyage. You are hovering above Lake Erie before plunging into wilderness and a blue tunnel over the road, with no way to foresee where the track will take you. Even though this coaster is ranked in the 80s, it is STILL UNDERRATED.

Intensité Longueur Trop court

I just like spinning coasters. A Gerstlauer coaster is awesome, and the spinning ones are underrated. If you have nobody sitting across from you, you’ll be spinning so intensely. It’s short, but it’s still a great ride.

Harnais

Unbelievable bad restraints.

First Drop Vibrations Baffes Débit

Unbelievable bad capacity lead to 120 minutes wait times, rattly ride (especially on the outside seats), horrible head- and footbanging. Not sure why this ride is the only one which needs a locker in SFMM. The first drop is great though, but overall the ride is not that intense (but uncomfortable). Arrow seemed to have a problem stopping the seats from wildly swinging around, which caused the worst headbanging I ever had on any of the 900+ coasters I have ridden so far. I consider this a failed concept.
