This ride was a huge surprise for me as I was not expecting much. The inversions provided some great hangtime and the launch was much more forceful than I was expecting. The ride does have some dead spots such as the stengel dive and the helix after the mid-course brakes but overall it's very fun. The ride could use a bit more airtime and I was disappointed that the only normal airtime hill on the ride had weak floater. The dive loop and top hat are the best parts of the ride in my opinion. This ride fits in perfectly at Tripsdrill and even though it could be better, it's still very fun.

Probably one of the most famous coasters in history because of how many times it has won best coaster in the world. While nowadays I definitely do think there are better coasters, this ride still packs a great punch and is pretty amazing. This ride is intense from beginning to end with an awesome first drop that tries to throw you out, great ejector airtime, and some nice positive g forces as well. I wish they would run both trains though as the ride can get a pretty long wait for certain rows. Overall, this is a great ride!

So this is probably the best coaster experience I've ever had. I've followed the construction of this ride since the first supports started going up and have been amazed by what my new favorite park in the world has been able to pull off. I always looked at this coaster as a bucket list coaster that I wouldn't be able to ride for years but I was finally able to get on this beast this summer. I love this ride to death and there's just so much about it that's great. As a layout, this coaster is not the best since there are a few weak spots (though flying through theming does help a bit) and the trims at the end put a small break in the pacing. However, as an experience it is the best coaster I have ever ridden and if you would ask me what coaster I would want to ride right now over and over again it would be this. Both launches on this ride are fantastic (the second in particular), there's some great airtime moments, and some amazing near misses with the incredible scenery the park has built. The restraints really do make this ride since they outdo Mack's in every possible way. These are the best and most comfortable restraints and seats I have ever experienced on a coaster and the amount of freedom you have is incredible. The ability to have so much free movement makes this ride. I've loved this coaster since the beginning and I'm so happy I was able to ride it. I highly recommend a visit to Phantasialand as it is the best themepark in the world in my opinion. I know I'll be returning in the near future!
P.S. I know I'm definitely overhyping the ride but we all overrate our favorite coasters.

Triops is a definite improvement over the regular Boomerang. Fewer vibrations and headbanging, and the ride experience is actually fairly intense at some points. It's unfortunate the restraints are so bulky and restrict your sensation of freedom.

The first drop and two loops are bearable and quite fun especially in the backseat. Unfortunately after this point the ride is very rough. One of the few coasters I've been on that is painful to ride. It's awful in every seat.

So Joker often gets considered one of the worst RMC's and yeah, that's partially true. But in a way, it's over hated. The word "worst" often comes with a bad connation, which isnt fair considering Joker still gives a great ride. Anyways, after listening to the weird clown laughing in the queue, you board into the typical RMC trains and get rolling through this fun prelift section. Then you crest the lifthill as you look down at a steep twisting drop in front of the entrance. After the insane ejector air on that drop, go into this weird inversion that gives pretty great hangtime. Go around a turn, and Boom! Another cool inversion! This next part is kinda dead though as you just go around an overbanked turn but then you get air on the next hill! Go get some more air in the double down and go into another overbank. The final inversion is low to the ground and is my personal favorite. Then one more airtime hill and hit the brakes. Back into the station with the clown laughing! Joker i wouldn't consider as good as Twisted Colossus because there just is a little more dead moments and the overbanks don't do too much for me. Overall, still a great ride and by far the best ride in Northern California.

What an insane ride. The queue just gets you pumped as the music and the 'X2... X2..." plays. Hopefully, you selected inside seat, and get ready for your ride! And after the metal music on the lifthill comes the greatest drop in the world as you fall 200 feet vertically, spinning all the way. The raven turn is cool as we soar across, looking at the line of cars waiting to get in. This funky bit called the "fly to die" element or something is neat where you dont invert but kinda just get hangtime and this weird feeling as you go over it. After that the ride is pretty much over and you've witnessed one of the best in the world. Don't listen to Coaster Studios when he gives it a 5/10. This an insane ride if you're riding inside seat. If you're riding outside it's more like a 4/5. X2 is just insane and you really need to check it out.
