    Batman is an extraordinarily intense ride. It is relentless from start to finish. This can cause some discomfort through the corkscrews, but it wasn't enough to cause headbanging. It's a little short, but not excessively so. Very good ride.

    Alpengeist is an extraordinary Invert. It's extremely inversion focused, and each one delivers well. Alpengeist is also decently themed throughout the ride, though not to the extent of say, Verbolten. Alpengeist does have a minor rattle, which is especially noticeable in the back row, but nothing too terrible. On occasion, the MCBR on Alpengeist slams the ride to a halt, ruining the pacing for the second half. Alpengeist has its flaws, but mostly it's an outstanding, intense inverted wonder.

    Desert Storm is extremely aggressive. Sometimes that’s a good thing. Sometimes that’s a bad thing. It has some incredibly janky moments, but it also is a lot of fun.

    Bonne suprise ! Vitesse

    Patriot isn’t trying to be much, but it’s pretty fun. Some really great moments, particularly in the final helix. Also features the same Hopkins jank you can see on Desert Storm

    Inversions Vibrations Déception !

    Batwing was awful. The ride was excruciatingly uncomfortable. It's in an amazingly awful location. The capacity is terrible. The vertical loop was good and that's about it. Really disappointing after Nighthawk was so fun.

    West Coaster is a mediocre coaster in a stunning location. It has some mild floater air, and it has a fun finish, but it isn’t a particularly large-scale ride. It’s just a pleasant little coaster.

    Wild Eagle is very large and very tame. There's some strong forces near the bottom of the first vertical loop, but it's largely pretty meandering. However, this ride is super smooth, it's super beautiful, and it's not so tame that it isn't fun. Wild Eagle is a pretty mediocre B&M.

    This is by far the worst Wild Mouse I've ever ridden. The restraints are incredibly uncomfortable. The ride fails to produce the laterals strongly associated with Wild mouses. The drops aren't exciting. It's smooth I guess. That's basically the only redeeming factor on this ride.

    This ride gave me motion sickness. This is the only roller coaster that has ever done this. It very nearly ruined my entire trip to Carowinds.

    I don't really remember it, but the picture I have of me riding it when I was little looks like I was insanely happy, so clearly they were doing something right,

    This was a surprisingly violent kiddie coaster. It has some serious whip around that final turn.

  • Nathan F

    Cramped trains and a small layout? Sounds like a kiddy coaster to me. Not really special in any way, but not failing at being a satisfactory kiddy coaster either.

  • Nathan F

    Eh. It's a kiddie coaster. Not a good kiddie coaster. Not a bad kiddie coaster. Kinda on the small end.

    Layout

    This is not a special model of roller coasters, but it is worth noting that the ride overshoots the station and goes backwards for a time. It's not a good ride, but it's a unique ride. It's not worth your time though.

    How does a ride so small cause so much headbanging? It feels like it shouldn't even have an opportunity to do that, yet it manages it. Awful large-scale kiddie coaster.

    This was my home park for several years, and I rode this one time. It was fine. The helices were decent, but it's not an amazing kiddie coaster. Spend your time at other rides.

    This ride is bad. It's extraordinarily rough. It feels like it's falling apart. It's a thoroughly unpleasant experience. That said, the layout on SLC's is pretty good, and keeps up some nice intensity.

    Barnstormer is basically Gadget's Go Coaster's crappy Floridian cousin. The ride is a bit cramped. The theming is poor by Disney standards, but not atrociously bad either. It's just a solid kiddie coaster.

    Théma Inconfort

    Gadget's Go Coaster is a fun little kiddie coaster at Disneyland. It's pretty well themed. The cars are a bit cramped. It's a kiddie coaster, and it's not trying to be more than a kiddie coaster, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fun ride.

    Théma

    Flight of the Hippogriff is not an amazing ride. Compared to Forbidden Journey, the theming is lacking, but the queue is subtly well themed, and the ride itself doesn't do anything wrong. It's a kiddie coaster, and it's a fun kiddie coaster, but it's not anything more than that.

    Ricochet is a bad Wild Mouse. It has extremely sudden and uncomfortable stops. It had a fairly long line compared to the rest of the park. It's not comfortable. Ricochet is even bad compared to other wild mouses.

    Théma

    Blazing Fury, from a pure coaster perspective, is awful. It's barely even a coaster. As a dark ride, it's just okay. It's nice that Dollywood has it. It's an absolute classic that should stick around a while. Mystery Mine is themed better, but Blazing Fury has a dark ride niche that Mystery Mine lacks.

    This wild mouse is a little on the uncomfortable side, but not extremely so. It's not all that different from any other Wild Mouse coaster. It's not special in any way.

    It's a wild mouse. It does wild mouse-y things. It isn't special. It isn't bad. It's just a wild mouse.

    Ragin' Cajun is fun, but isn't a particularly special Wild Mouse. There's a little theming to go with it, which is better than most of the park, but it's not anything special. This is just another run-of-the-mill spinning wild mouse.

    Bonne suprise ! Vitesse Inconfort

    Wild Lightnin' is a sketchy looking Wild Mouse, and it rides like a sketchy looking Wild Mouse. However, it does so in an incredibly fun way. This is the most violent Wild Mouse I've ever ridden. It slams hard into every turn. It's so violent that it becomes more fun because of it.

    The best part of Jaguar is what's around it. You get amazing interactions with a ton of Knott's Berry Farm rides. That's basically the only redeeming quality to this ride. The trains are tiny and uncomfortable. The ride is very slow, and pretty forceless. Jaguar is worth doing once for the interactions, but after that it's not necessary to ride again.

    Fun

    Carolina Goldrusher doesn't really do anything wrong, but it's a mine train, and those are generally pretty small. It never packs much of a punch. It doesn't blow you away. It just provides a fun, smaller roller coaster that's enjoyable. It's just okay.
