A coaster of the Russian company PAX - and a very rare one too. A shuttle coaster with nice hangtime at the lift and when it reverses direction. The restraints could be a little bit more comfortable though.

Roadrunner Express is one of the best Arrow Mine Train coasters. With its terrain interaction and smooth, fast paced layout, it stands out as an example of what Arrow could have been if it didn't go under.

Iron Rattler is a masterpiece. If any coaster needed the RMC treatment, it was this one. An amazing concept executed very poorly by a bad manufacturer. RMC swooped in and turned this coaster into the masterpiece it was meant to me. The trains are the most open of any RMC, with great lap bars and open trains, allowing you to wave your hands however you please. It has the best first drop I've ever experienced on a coaster, twisting left and right down the quarry wall into the gulch, steep all the way down. There are four ejector hills, and a huge last drop off of the quarry wall into a tunnel, giving sustained ejector airtime all the way down. There are also four overbanked turns, all twisty and sharp, one if which drops down the wall of a curved overbanked drop. The barrel roll is perfect with its whip and its hangtime, and it's at the heart of the coaster, pulling the ride together to perfection. The coaster is unfortunately a bit shorter than I'd like, but it is oh so sweet and perfect otherwise.

Poltergeist is a fast paced, forceful, whippy launched coaster from beginning to end. The first three inversions in quick succession give huge positive Gs right out of the fast launch. The rest of the ride is a spaghetti bowl of fast transitions and turns as you accelerate faster and faster as you go farther down the bowl, ending in a corkscrew finale. Unfortunately it's all over concrete without scenery, but at least the queue is themed!

Superman Krypton coaster is one of the best floorless coasters in the world, especially with its location next to the quarry wall. It's enormous in its curved first drop. The first loop is similarly enormous, with both hangtime and positive forces. The overbanked helix going over the quarry wall is forceful and awesome, you feel like you can touch the rocks. The zero-g roll and cobra roll are both also great and snappy. The drop off the MCBR is forceful and can be unexpected. The interlocking corkscrews are unfortunately an uninspired end to the otherwise creative and awesome ride, which keeps it from being my favorite. Nonetheless, it's an awesome, huge, forceful ride with an amazing setting and an awesome color scheme that's very photogenic.

Bon d'extérieur il ne paie pas de mine, il est même plutôt moche. Il est pas super haut non plus, ni super long. Mais par contre, c'est une machine à ejector d'une puissance encore jamais vue jusque là pour ma part (et encore on ne l'a ridé que le matin !). A faire passer les airtimes d'EGF pour du family ! Seul un El Toro bien chaud peut rivaliser avec ça. Et du coup pour enchaîner les tours, il veut mieux avoir les cuisses bien résistantes ! Sinon la first drop en barrel roll est assez surprenante, un peu molle en front, à bonne vitesse en last, mais globalement je préfère une drop classique avec un bon airtime.

Une note si basse sur Intimidator 305 mérite un peu d'explications... Bon évidemment quand on ride pour la première fois un tel monument on en attend beaucoup. Direction le dernier rang, lift rapide, mais... pas d'airtime sur la first drop. Bon. Arrive le fameux virage au ras du sol. D'ordinaire j'ai très peu de voiles sur les coasters, mais là... un voile noir total, je vois plus rien, et ça dure... Une intensité mal dosée, et en tout cas pas du tout agréable pour ma part ! Je ne suis pas pilote de chasse. Ensuite vient le point fort du coaster, des virages au ras du sol avec une grande vitesse, fun. Puis un bunny hop, peut être de l'airtime ? Non en fait il y a un trim si puissant que j'ai cru que c'était le frein final. Du coup toujours pas d'airtimes... En résumé: du gâchis !
