Airtimes Lap Bar Hangtime Temps mort
Really fun ride with some insane hangtime that starts immediately out of the station into the jojo roll; from there you go through the incredibly mild launch that seems to be perfectly tuned to have you barely clear that first vertical loop, giving you insane hangtime again at its apex. From there you go through the layout of snappy inversions, turns, airtime moments, and one final loop towards the end. While this ride does so much right, I can't help but feel that it's just lacking in the intensity department in certain spots, as well as the ride as a whole to a lesser degree. I kept on wishing it would would be a little more intense, but that just doesn't seem to be what the ride is about.

Inversions Bonne suprise ! Situation Vibrations Harnais
The first Flying Dutchman, and first real flying coaster, Nighthawk is far better than most people say it is. While the restraints are indeed pretty awkward and the track rattles like hell, there's still a lot to love about this revolutionary flying coaster. The layout flies predominantly low, skimming the pond that it's situated over; the layout also squeezes in a healthy amount of inversions, along with an intense vertical loop that almost feels like a pretzel loop on a B&M flyer on about the last third or so of the loop (especially in the back). Another element that really stuck out to me was the corkscrew towards the end, which was really unique and interesting in a flying position. With all of its faults, this classic still has a lot to give even today; here's to hoping that this example of this very rare model sticks around for years to come.

Lap Bar Launch Ejectors Débit
The prototype Intamin Accelerator, Xcelerator still has a lot to offer when compared to its bigger brothers that it helped spawn. While it might not be as tall or fast as Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka, Xcelerator can still keep up. Not only is the launch still one of the most intense out there, but the ride doesn't just end after the top hat, instead going through a course of banked turns where you can really feel the speed. Plus you get that Accelerator signature ejector on that top hat, which is made even better by the lapbars. Unfortunately you can expect this ride to be running just 1 train most of the time, so lines stack up pretty quickly on most days.

First Drop Vitesse Intensité
Really fun GCI woodie that hauls through its layout from start to finish. The tunneled first drop along with few other great near miss elements, along with some really intense but smooth sections, make this a pretty memorable ride. Definitely one of the best woodies on the West Coast.

Pretty ordinary, bland Wild Mouse coaster. It's not as uncomfortable as some of the other ones I've been on, but it's still pretty boring.

Intensité Trop court Layout
While a good ride, there are much better B&M Inverts out there that are not only longer, but with much more interesting/stimulating layouts as well. The average Batman: The Ride clone runs circles around this one, unfortunately.

Inversions Trop court
Classic Arrow looper that's got the trademark double loops and corkscrew. While the layout isn't really anything special, the interaction with the tunnels and the dive into the mouth of the demon rock that transitions right into the corkscrew is pretty cool, and helps to set this one apart from the rest of the pack.

Cute little Arrow looper that's pretty hidden away. Its neighbor, Leviathan, completely and totally dwarfs it and kinda makes finding this ride a little tricky if you're new to the park and don't know where to look. Dragon Fire is in the middle of the pack of Arrow loopers as far as I'm concerned; the ride is pretty short but decently fun, having the ride and layout very similar to most of the other Arrow loopers out there. Neither particularly smooth or rough as far as Arrows are concerned, you can feel at ease getting a few rides on this guy if some of the other rides are swamped; but it's also nothing really to write home about.

Vibrations A raser ! Temps mort
This woodie is rough as hell and equally as boring. You get no airtime, even in the back, due to the lapbar automatically coming down and stapling the shit out of you every single time. As for the ride experience, it's a janky, rattly leisurely cruise around the layout that will give you little to no thrills while crushing your lap the entire time. With an actually good wooden coaster already existing on the other side of the park in the form of Gold Striker, there's few better candidates for an RMC conversion than this disaster.

Baffes Trop court Layout
Yet another B&M Stand-Up to Floorless conversion that's little more than putting a bandage on a broken arm. While the original standing restraints are polarizing, and standing coasters as a whole falling out of style worldwide; the true failing of these rides are the layouts. Only two inversions, and only half the track-length of a proper B&M Stand-Up like Riddler's Revenge makes for a lacking coaster from the outset. Merely slapping different trains on the tracks does nothing to remedy this, and the ride experience remains super short and bland as a result (and also rather rough for a B&M, as most of these conversions tend to be).
