Sirens Curse is a great addition to Cedar Point's lineup, featuring tight elements and surprising airtime with whippy inversions. What's not to like? The tilt is incredible in both the front and back, but I experienced significantly more airtime in rows 4 and 5.

Airtime, speed, and intensity make Fury 325 an incredible ride. The drop into the banked turns is exhilarating, with a series of low-to-the-ground, sudden, and whippy turns that keep the excitement going. There are no dead spots throughout the entire ride. Fury 325 truly deserves the title of the king of Giga coasters, thanks to its remarkable speed and layout. are unmatched.

Voyage is an adrenaline-packed ride from start to finish. The first drop, at a steep 66°, delivers incredible airtime, especially in the back row, while the front row feels like manning a runaway locomotive. The ride's pacing is intense, with speedy bank turns and airtime hills that seem never-ending. A 107-ft camelback gives great floater airtime, and the second hill features a twist, providing both floating and laterals. You’ll encounter seven tunnels during the exhilarating 2:45 minutes of chaos. The spaghetti bowl section is pure madness, with tight 90° turns and rapid bunny hills that yield intense ejector airtime and negative G-forces. The final third of the layout is the wildest, making for an unforgettable experience. Riding at night amplifies the thrill, as you can't see the transitions, and you're launched into the darkness for 6,442 ft of track. That triple down in pitch-black darkness and through a loud tunnel back to the station is both exhilarating and a bit scary. I can't wait to ride again!

El Toro is my second favorite wooden coaster because I rarely experience discomfort when I ride it. The first drop from the back row is absolutely insane, and the airtime moments are among the best of any coaster. With its incredible ejector moments, amazing first drop, and out-of-this-world pacing, this ride is truly a standout. 5 Stars

I only got to ride Top Thrill 2 twice back in May so I feel like I can compare it to dragster and TT2 is better in every way. The seats sit up much higher so when your going over the top hat it feels way different believe me. And the 420ft spike you get launched into at 100mph going backwards is probably the best part of the whole ride. I really wish I could've rode it more but maybe next year...

Don’t let people tell you that this ride is bumpy or rattles. It’s quite amusing to me when people complain about a few bumps. It’s hard for me to just say Rapterra is better than Thunderbird because it’s new, but I rode Thunderbird a lot last year, and I just can’t put Rapterra over Thunderbird right now. But still, a solid wing coaster with great airtime and hangtime combo. Weird they didn’t have the on-ride photos working.

Pantheon is an incredible ride and a truly thrilling roller coaster. It features fantastic inversions and impressive hangtime, with the top hat and outer bank providing some amazing airtime moments. I love the layout, which includes intense launches and smooth inversions. My favorite element has to be the backward launch and the airtime hill, I wasn't expecting that at all, but it was a pleasant surprise!

What an elite top tier RMC… WOW the camelback into the double up, then the wave turns, and add a great stall. It’s so well-paced, and every element just flows so natural into the next element.

The pre-drop on Raging Bull causes the front part of the train to start going down the hill while the back part is still on the straight track. If you're in the back section, you see all the rows in front of you disappear, and then all the weight of the train pulls you, so you go flying down the hill, experiencing a lot of sustained ejector. It's definitely my favorite ride in the park and has surpassed many B&M hypers on my list.

Orion opened in July of 2020 but I went to the First Rider Auction Night that was on July 1st, 2020. I was able to ride Orion 18 times that night. Over the years now I've ridden in pretty much every row and in multiple different times of day and weather conditions. Imo night time is the best to ride as well as right after a downpour when the track is wet. It's a toss-up between front or back, but right now I'm leaning towards the back row since I love getting whipped through the elements. you get snapped over the first drop in the back row. The front row isn’t as good as the back row, yes the visuals and the wind in your face are awesome and you’ll get a front-row seat for that 300ft 85 degree drop but that’s about it the forces just aren’t there. Now front row rides in the rain are different, Orion seems to run much faster in the rain and thankfully Kings Island doesn’t shut down its coasters because of rain 10 miles away like all the Florida parks. A front-row ride on Orion in the rain was an insane experience, it felt even more intense because of all the rain hitting me in the face. I can’t lie it was painful but that didn’t stop me from marathoning until I couldn’t anymore. Orion is quality over quantity Orion has so many good elements, The turnaround with the dive down( just like Fury325) the kinda wave turn The camelback gives good floater airtime The Helix is unique and very forceful the way you twist up and then twist down gives massive positive G’s with intensity. And the speed hill Coming off the turnaround gives good airtime and I can’t think of many B&M’s with a speed hill like that other than maybe Mako. The twisted dip before the breaks might be the best part of the ride. Now The first drop is amazing it seems to not level out like some other coasters so that 300ft drop just seems steeper and I love that about Orion. Overall you get Great Lateral airtime, yes The pop into the break is pointless but It’s got Positive G’s and Negative G’s with laterals The drop alone is worth the wait. The King's Island opps run Orion flawlessly 3 trains running with good load times and it’s always a train on the lift hill. Sad to say but That’s not the case for Millennium Force and Intimidator 305 The lift hill is quiet and fast the ride is so good you can’t believe that it’s been 3 minutes already. Orion’s theming is also top tier everything in Area 72 is, the former X-BASE

Millennium Force, my first Giga Coaster nothing can replace my first 300 ft drop it was crazy, and going 90mph back in 2008 I thought that nothing could top this ride. Now there are bigger and badder Giga’s out there but I’ve only ridden 2 of them, Millennium Force and Orion and Millennium Force is superior to Orion. Going over hills and through tunnels at that speed is just amazing and it's still a five-star coaster to this day. The first drop, the first Overbank and the Camelbacks were ahead of their time

Vortex was my first big coaster when it was built it was the tallest full circuit coaster in the world at 148 feet. Also was the first coaster to feature 6 inversions. The 138 foot drop was madness to me at 11 years old. 55mph over 2 minutes 30 seconds of ride time, max vertical angle of 55 degrees? 3 trains running at all times, you would be in the 6th inversion with the train behind you finishing up its first all while the third train was making its way up the lift hill. From 1996-1999 this was true I stopped paying attention after that so I can’t be sure if things stayed that way. All I know is a long line at Vortex wasn’t a big deal operations were amazing. In it's old age Vortex got so rough that I wouldn't even think about riding it again, but it used to be a great ride.

I don't like the over the shoulder restraints but the theming is great you get a intense ride but compared to the Bat at kings island this ride is disappointing.
