    I mostly went to KK for this ride. I left with it not being my favorite ride in the park, by quite a margin. This is still a very good coaster and a great addition to this park's limited coaster list. It isn't quite as "pudding" smooth as other RMC's. There is definitely some minor herky-jerky and plenty of vibrations--nothing at all painful or even the leas bit uncomfortable, but just very noticeable. The first twisting, inversion drop is pretty cool, perhaps not spectacular, but very neat and unique. The ending is a bit lethargic--it is almost like KK contracted them to build a 2700 ft coaster and RMC already had a 2400 ft design finished. So, they simply added an extra turnaround with a couple of slow paced dips at the end to make up the footage. Now, I highly doubt that is the case, but that is almost what it seems like. Overall, a really good coaster, but for me, not world class.

    My first B&M hyper. This is more of a hyper-twister layout. The brakes, kind of reduce how good this could be--they put them in very poor locations--especially on the first big "air" hill after the initial drop and turn around. They don't kill it, by any means, but they are definitely noticeable and reduce what should be amazing air to just barely OK air. This ride accomplishes what it is designed to--deliver a very good ride while keeping tons of people moving through the queue. It is intense enough to be very good and smooth enough to re-ride all day. A very good coaster.

    This is what a hyper is supposed to be. Tall, fast, and full of air. My favorite B&M hyper.

    First let me say, what a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE name. How many Goliath's does Six Flags need? Just dumb. This was my first RMC--I went the first weekend it was open to the public several years ago. The wait was ridiculous, mainly because they were only operating 1 train and also because no one understood the loading procedure. Several people per train were too large to get the restraint light to go on or off for the operators and every time they complained and argued that they don't want to get off after waiting for well over an hour. They just kept pleading with the operators to keep crushing them harder until the light does what it needs to. It never worked. It just slowed things down even more. The ride itself was a new experience as RMC's are definitely unique. The best way I can describe how it felt was to say that it felt like we were riding on a puddle of pudding. It was just so perfectly smooth. The first drop is fantastic, not other worldly, but very, very good. A couple of the floaters were again, very good, but not the absolute best. The zero G stall takes this from just a good ride, and elevates it to an excellent one. Truly unique maneuver that is so slow you can't believe it while you are on it. It is by far the best element of the coaster. Overall a very good coaster, but not quite a top 20 of mine.

    Great, great coaster. I understand why coasters became so popular in this country because in 1924 they built this thing of beauty. It is far, far better than many, many much younger coasters--especially some "old" wooden ones that are decades newer than this. It obviously isn't the tallest or fastest, but it delivers a fantastic ride, even by today's standards. Truly a classic.

    Best part about this ride is the name. I don't know why exactly but the T-I-G apostrophe RR just cracks me up. I just loved saying it. My niece and nephew thought I was nuts. They may be right. Anyway the ride itself is OK. There are a few rough spots, but nothing terrible. The whole structure seems to go into a resonance vibration about 2/3's the way through. You don't notice it while riding, but while in line watching. It is a bit frightening to see the entire structure vibration. The sound it makes during this is more than off-putting. We only rode it once all day and it was a walk-on if that tells you anything.

    Riding first row is like a cross between Taron and a regular megacoaster! There is a rattle but it doesn't bother me because you are hardly in your seat anyway!

    Layout Déception ! Inconfort

    I love the idea of a relatively tame coaster ride over an entire area of a park, but this isn't the way to do it. You can't even enjoy the scenery with how small the car is, and how rickety the ride is. Pretty disappointing.

    The car for this is comically small, and it bangs you around quite a bit. Pretty mediocre even as far as wild mouse coasters go.

    Launch Fun Intensité

    Wow, I was surprised with the instensity of the launch and also with how comfortable the train was. I have ridden the one in Belantis and I have to say that Anubis is much better. I am sad that I rode it in the rain and could not get the potential from this coaster.
