    Situation

    Though this is the lousiest Mine Train I've yet ridden, this ride is still fun, in a nice location, and I think it should stick around.

    Situation Intensité Fluidité Trop court

    With Manta not having a major refurbishment since its opening for more than 10 years now, Superman Ultimate Flight is now my favorite flying coaster. It's prettier, with a nicer paint job. It's better paced, with no mid-course brake run. And it's in a better location, being a full on terrain flying coaster. And with it being smaller, you swoosh into the worlds first pretzel loop even faster. The two overbanked turns give great unexplainable forces, and the inline twist is a great finale, and the ground hugging moments are superb. Though it lacks the queue, water splash, and two extra inversions of Manta, it's still an excellent flying coaster in its own right.

    One of the best kiddie coasters in the world because it's a terrain coaster that interacts with the bridge and the arcade building. Very creative layout.

    Twisted Cyclone may be a short ride, but it's better than being too long with bad pacing, and it's also way better than an un-maintained and un-themed Cyclone recreation. The first drop is like mini-Iron Rattler, the reverse cobra roll is smooth and creative, the wave turn is the best part of the ride, the zero-g roll is the best inversion on the coaster, and all of the ejector airtime and overbanks are as amazing as ever for a great RMC. My favorite part of this one is the color scheme, which is one of the prettiest roller coasters I've ever seen. Paired with the repainted Scorcher, this ride makes SFOG's promenade absolutely gorgeous.

    Georgia Scorcher is my favorite stand-up coaster by far. It's not so long that it hurts your legs, and it's smooth. The two inversions are forceful, and the first drop is great. Where the ride really shines is the turns. The low to the ground turns in the vulnerable stand-up position is very thrilling, and the whole ride is well paced. Fantastic coaster.

    Dahlonega is one of the more mediocre Mine Trains out there, but it's still decent fun with a great final act.

    This is one of the best versions of Batman. The colors aren't a gross yellow, and there are trees around the layout, plus the Gotham City section is probably my favorite of the bunch. Though the theming leaves a lot to be desired, especially after they stopped playing Danny Elfman's score in the station. With that being said, Batman is as intense as ever. Relentless, whippy, forceful, and dizzying. Best cloned coaster on the planet, and that includes Raptors.

    New trains and paint are very very pretty. They don't get rid of the awful tracking and rattling, but at least it's rideable now, and the inversions are fun with the compact layout over the water.

    Airtimes Fun Fluidité Déception ! Layout

    They really need to race this coaster for it to be effective, and my ride did not have that. Though the trackwork made my ride smooth with good floater airtime, the standard out and back layout isn't exciting when the other track is lifeless and unmaintained.

    Théma Inversions Ejectors Layout

    Twisted Timbers is my least favorite of the RMC I-box coasters I've ridden, and yet it's still an outstanding coaster. My complaint is the coaster's design. Instead of using part of the layout like Twisted Cyclone, or increasing the height to make up for steel coasters not carrying momentum as well as wood coasters (Steel Vengeance), it does neither. It uses the whole layout, and is about the same height as Hurler. As such, the ride really runs out of steam about 2/3 of the way through. The forces stay quite good, but the train feels like it's struggling to get back to the station. In addition, this ride takes ages to load, and the ride ops do not hurry in the same way they did for SteVe. Lastly, though airtime alley is a great homage to Hurler, I ultimately find it uncreative for the kinds of layouts RMC has proven to be able to produce. I love the first drop and the first overbank. Other than that, this is standard RMC fare, and that is great fun. Sharp ejector airtime with smooth inversions and overbanks. Plus the theming is probably the best of any US RMC, especially paired with the similarly themed Apple Zapple.
