This ride is awesome! Being in the dark is an instant fun multiplier, and you get some fun pops as you go! I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said haha

There are more intense B&Ms in Florida, but of course Kraken is still super fun! The straight drop is great, and has some fun little floater, and then all the inversions are nice and fun! It's not as intense and whippy as Montu or Kumba, but that's ok because what it is is still fun!

This thing is absolutely fantastic! Until I had ridden it, the only B&M Hyper I'd been on was Nitro, and this thing completely dunks on it, and I enjoyed Nitro a lot, too! But Mako is just so much better, it has some real nice flojector airtime, and the ride is just pure bliss in the form of airtime. People like to complain about the part after the MCBR, but I think it was a reasonable finale to the ride. Of course, more airtime is always welcome, but I don't think Mako's ending is a dealbreaker, by any means! Two years later, it's still my favorite B&M Hyper, with me also preferring it to Shambhala!

It's nothing special, just your standard spinning wild mouse! It's not particularly fast nor does it spin particularly fast, so it kinda just... exists! I wish it spun the whole way though.

DISCLAIMER: this review was made right before the ride had the 208 Retrak, when it was at its roughest state, I've heard it's significantly better nowadays! — I really wanted to like this thing, but the ride itself didn't want to be liked. This thing jackhammers like hell and back, it felt like the ride wanted to rip my legs out of my body, unquestionably the most uncomfortable coaster I've ridden and I've ridden two RCCAs, one of which (Montezum) hasn't gotten ANY major trackwork done since 1999, so yeah, its quite the bar that this felt more uncomfortable, I presume due to the lighter timberliner trains amplifying the vibrations, especially since the park was dead when I visited and I only had zen rides. This roughness really is a shame, because the inversion is absurdly fun, and you can 100% feel the "woodyness" of it while being upside down, it's a sublime moment, not to mention the fun airtime pops. But then you hit every single valley and it's just, ugh, awful... It completely outweighed the good parts of the ride
This was very smooth when I visited, but it was just... boring? I'm sure for its time this coaster was a huge milestone, but in more modern times, it ...
This was very smooth when I visited, but it was just... boring? I'm sure for its time this coaster was a huge milestone, but in more modern times, it did feel a bit pointless. It just went so sluggishly over these turns, and the ride wasn't racing when I went, so that took away the last chance for this ride to have a redeeming quality! Still, it's always sad to see a classic go, even if it didn't age well, rest in peace Colossus.

This thing feels more like a drop tower than a roller coaster, in a sense, but it's still a fun ride nonetheless. Even if it's just that one spike, the launch goes on for so long, it feels like you're gonna take off, and you get so much weightlessness that it really is a great ride at the end of the day. Of course, it's hard to compare it to anything with more substantial of a layout though, so it can't get full marks, but it's fun for what it is!
I enjoyed this ride! It's not one of the most intense old-school B&Ms and it really doesn't stand out at its park but it's still a great ride and layo...
I enjoyed this ride! It's not one of the most intense old-school B&Ms and it really doesn't stand out at its park but it's still a great ride and layout! Not much else to say.

That first drop will forever be etched and live rent-free in my mind, it is completely out of this world to go down facing the ground, and last minute perform such a quick rotation. This thing feels unreal in the best way possible. Not to mention the fly-to-lies both of which are incredibly disorienting and remarkably fun! The ride definitely loses steam a bit on the turnaround, but it doesn't detract from the ride for me, and neither does the bounciness of the seats and rotation, it wasn't discomfortable in any way, inner or outer seat, as far as I remember.

I actually didn't hate this myself? I don't know how because everyone complains about this thing, and understandably so, but to me this was much more boring than uncomfortable. I think I got one flip if that, and it just like wiggled its way down, but I do not genuinely recall any discomfort. It was just kind of a pointless ride, which is a shame, I'm sure if it spun more it would have been more fun, but as it was, it felt like an overbraked wild mouse on its side. I'm really eager to do Insane at Gröna Lund and see what a full potential Zac Spin really is like
