Airtimes Vitesse Fun

While it took a bit to warm up, I ultimately walked away thinking Texas Stingray was a top tier GCI. The first part of the ride is pretty lackluster as I didn't find the drop and first few turns to do much but everything that follows is amazing. The sense of speed is top notch and kept throughout the ride. There is also an abundance of solid airtime and laterals throughout the ride, with awesome elements that can't really be found on other GCI's such as a large twisted hill and wave turn. Overall Texas Stingray is a very fun and out of control ride that makes for a great signature coaster at Sea World San Antonio.

Mr. Freeze packs in a lot to its very short layout. The length is definitely its biggest issue because everything it does is great. The backwards launch is unique and forceful, the spike has super sustained floater and is just pure fun, and the overbank and valleys pull some serious g's. It also feels like you absolutely haul through the layout and go way faster than you're supposed to. The main reason I prefer this one over the one at SFSTL is because of the top hat. On that one the top hat was pretty lackluster, but on this Mr. Freeze it had great ejector and whip on all of the entrances and exits. I also like that you have the option to ride forwards on this one, although backwards is considerably better. Overall Mr. Freeze offers and amazing forceful and unique ride experience that lands it a spot in my top 50.

Lap Bar Bonne suprise ! Ejectors

This is the most underrated coaster I have ridden and its not even close. Going in I expected pretty much nothing out of this coaster because I hadn't heard anyone say a word about it, but this coaster completely blew me away to a level no other coaster has. Every single hill has a crazy ejector kink at the end of it that sends you flying feet in the air due to the absurd amount of room that the restraints allow for. I don't know why this ride is so insane but I'm sure glad it is and I'm proud to say that Judge Roy Scream is an elite roller coaster.

New Texas Giant is fairly underrated and definitely not the worst RMC. While there are some dead hills, there are still more than plenty of moments that hit. I also found the ejector to be strong even for RMC standards on several of the moments. New Texas Giant also features one of the better RMC drops and this one turn that provides an amazing moment of sustained lateral ejector. I also love how long the ride is and that it holds its pace quite well despite what some people say. Overall New Texas Giant was a lot better than I was expecting and a solid mid tier RMC.

Shockwave is extremely underrated, even by its fans. The drop has a powerful jolt of ejector that no one talks about. Then the loops are a hard greyout every time. The turns are kept interesting by weird lateral kinks during them. Then the 2 drops off the turnarounds and the ending triangle hill have some of the most violent ejector I have ever felt. People always rant about how strong magnum's triangle hills are but I honestly found the one on shockwave to be 5 times as strong it was ridiculous. There is also this great sustained ejector moment after the 2nd turnaround drop. All of this wild ejector is made even crazier by the lap bars that allow for plenty of room, meaning you will be launched out of your seat and get amazing standing airtime. I also just love how this ride sort of looks like a carnival coaster that's falling apart, I don't know why but it just makes me laugh and adds to the ride. The only slight problem I have with this ride is that it sort of feels slow but everything else is done perfectly, especially for the time it was built. Overall Shockwave has some of the most extreme forces in both the positive and negative direction which is why it finds a spot inside my top 20.

Airtimes Bonne suprise ! Intensité Inconfort

This is the most intense coaster I've ridden by far. Titan is the only coaster that has made me lose consciousness on the ride due to how strong and sustained the positives are. On top of that, the fact that this ride has only a lap bar makes the g's even crazier because it pushes your head into your lap and it feels like your skin will melt off your body. People say that this coaster has dead spots, and they wouldn't be wrong as this coaster has many spots on the ride where you feel like you're dead due to being passed out. The midcourse is absolutely needed because I honestly don't think you would survive without it and it isn't even boring or a buzzkill as you are either still blacked out or recovering from a blackout. If anything, the midcourse is too short of a break as everything still feels very fuzzy and distorted after the midcourse is over. Titan is also the most unrerideable coaster ever, but in a good way. I can ride the most painful coasters 20 or so times in a row before tapping out, but when I tried to marathon Titan midday, I was done after just 4 rides and I think I might have actually died if I rode it anymore. It took such a toll on my body that I didn't even ride any coasters for the next 2 hours because I couldn't function at all. On top of the unreal intensity, Titan also has an underrated ejector filled first drop, a CCI style lateral heavy turnaround and an awesome speed hill with super sustained flojector airtime to help spice the ride up. Thoosies be raving about B&M and Intamin hypers when this ride demolishes all of them. I don't know what kind of mental illness people can have to think this ride is forceless, because it is the least forceless coaster I've ever ridden. Overall I found Titan to be criminally underrated and while it might not be objectively the best coaster ever built, its perhaps the most purely insane coaster I've ever ridden and that's why I consider it a world class roller coaster and it finds a spot inside my top 15.

First Drop Lap Bar Ejectors

I was a big doubter of Iron Rattler before I rode it, but I'm glad to say it far exceeded my expectations. The airtime is very strong, even for RMC standards. The trains feel very open and are fairly easy to get room with most of the time. The drop is one of the best with its great sustained ejector and lateral combo. In fact, the entire ride has very surprising laterals and even positives. The heaven roll is also a great inversion between its fun float and laterals mixed with an ejector pop on the exit. Iron Rattler also has great pacing for most of the ride, even the quarry section doesn't feel like a dead spot because the hills on the quarry are very strong and it goes through the section at a decent speed. Iron Rattler has a lot of spectacular elements, but my favorite is the transition into the brake run. The airtime and laterals are so violent on that moment and getting launched diagonally out of the train never gets old. Overall, Iron Rattler is a top tier RMC and the best coaster that has Iron in the name.

Just a regular kiddie coaster and the top of the helix is quite jarring.

These Joe Draves RMC’s are seriously something else. I was expecting this to be a mid tier RMC and after my first ride it was, but I came back after it rained a bit and it blew me away. Night rides were even more insane and moved it up my list even more. The airtime on every hill is ridiculously powerful, and according to ride forces it hit -2.2g’s for me and it certainly feels like it. The inversions are also all done very well and there’s a few other surprising transitions. The pacing is amazing too, especially at night it just looks cartoonish, and there is zero dead spots on the ride every element hits. Starting off with the presentation, this ride looks way bigger than it actually is and I like the look of the red track and black steel with the wood structure. The queue gives great views of the coaster and there’s an amazing soundtrack the plays in the station. Just like ArieForce One, the ops won’t push down the restraints most of the time so you can get minimum verify, making the airtime even crazier than it already is. Once dispatched you head into a downhill pre lift section which is my favorite pre lift I’ve experienced, you surprisingly get some ejector here. You then go into the lift which starts off really awkward before pulling you to the drop. The drop is great but there is better ones out there. Nevertheless it still gives great sustained ejector. The underflip is one of the weaker elements on the ride but you still get an upside down pop of airtime and some weird laterals and positives on the descent. However the following camelback is one of the best moments of the ride. A small con I have with the ride is that there isn’t much sustained airtime but the moments it does have like this one are amazing. You get jolted out of your seat and then kept there as you sustain very powerful ejector while also experiencing an amazing headchopper. It feels like a combination of a magnum triangle hill and I305’s sustained hill, I’ve never felt anything like it but I love it. You then head in to an off axis step up into a small wave turn, both giving powerful bursts of ejector. You then head into the stall, which is one of the best ones I’ve done. The entrance gives a great pop of ejector and you stay out of your seat until you get insane whip as you snap back upright on the descent. The following wave turn provides an even stronger ejector pop than the one before, and on one of my rides I could feel myself slipping out of the restraint on this element it was kinda scary. You then head into a double down which gives 2 strong ejector pops paired with great laterals as the entire element is on an unbanked turn. The next inversion somehow is one of the strongest moments on the ride as you are almost painfully launched out of your seat as you traverse the element. The turnaround has great sense of speed and a bit of positives before heading into the final inversion which is nothing special but still very fun. Another turn which provides some surprising laterals before heading into the final 2 hills. These bunny hops give some of the strongest airtime I’ve ever felt and the last one even has a surprising lateral kink at the end before flying into the brake run. Overall the ride feels quite long and is relentless the whole time. You are just constantly getting flung around in every direction and you can’t catch your breath. The variety on this ride is solid too, you have some of the strongest airtime I’ve felt paired with one of the best collection of inversions on a coaster I’ve done. This coaster definitely can be a bit painful because of how out of control it is but that’s what I love about it. It’s one of the most insane coasters I’ve ridden and an absolute masterpiece.

Déception ! Sans intérêt

I was excited when I saw no trims on the drop and the train flew down it, but then I realized the final turn was banked and I got no laterals. Overall this coaster managed to disappoint me despite being a wack worm and overall doesn’t really do anything.

It’s a pretty boring wild mouse overall except for a couple of surprising turns later in the ride. The brakes hit very hard though so that kind of hurt.

Airtimes Vitesse Intensité Inconfort

This coaster is such a hidden gem. It’s one of the most extreme coasters I’ve ridden. The laterals are so strong and abrupt it feels like a car crash. They’re so strong that they push you out of your seat and give you airtime it’s insane. On top of that the pacing is quite strong and there’s a few solid normal airtime hills which are heightened by the insane room that you can get. The only problem with this ride is that there is a couple of rough patches and the laterals are so ridiculous that they knock the wind out of you and after a little bit it started to give me a stomach ache, but I’ll put up with that all day because I love how crazy this ride is.

Launch Vitesse Fluidité Intensité

This is a great family coaster. The launches are quite forceful and while the rest of the ride doesn’t pull much force, it’s an extremely long ride that is packed full of fluid transitions and fun elements and it never seems to lose its pace. Really the only reason I can’t rank it higher is because most of the ride is forceless.

Théma Débit Inconfort

The wait time is always long and the ride is pretty boring except for a few kind of fun drops. The transitions into the first 2 lifts were quite jarring and painful too. At least the theming and presentation is good and I was able to get back on this ride for the first time in over 10 years, but I definitely wasn’t a fan.

Inversions Intensité

The definition of mid. The ride is not smooth but not rough. The ride isn’t slow but doesn’t feel fast either, and the inversions aren’t completely forceless but they don’t feel intense either. I guess some of the inversions were fun though.

Airtimes Lap Bar Confort Temps mort

The presentation and appearance is cool. The trains are comfortable and the ops let you get a lot of room. The 5 second hill is one of the best floater moments I’ve experienced. The drop and speed hill are decent and there’s this one turn that throws you sideways but the rest of the ride does nothing. Above average B&M hyper but pretty mid ride overall except for that one hill.

Vitesse Fun Intensité Fiabilité

I love this coaster a lot and think it’s criminally underrated. When I first rode it in 2017 it was one of the first big coasters I rode and I thought it was insane. It was a complete blur while also being extremely fun, and I ranked it as my #1 at the time. Fast forward some time and I rode many more coasters and I became more of an enthusiast, so this ride dropped. I remembered the ride being intense and crazy but I thought I was just overplaying it in my head because of how new and scary it was to me at the time. 6 years later and I finally get the chance to ride it again, and my memories of it being insane were completely accurate, manta truly is a beast. It found it’s way into my top 10 with over 200 credits to my name. First of all I love the presentation of this ride, the colors are perfect, especially at this park and the landscaping and views you can get of the coaster are spectacular. The queue is cool as it is completely indoors and u pass several fish tanks. The trains look just as good as the rest of the ride and the restraints are comfortable and pretty open feeling for a Flyer, especially if you can get room which is pretty easy. Back right is my favorite seat and there usually isn’t too much of a line which is nice however the operations are terrible and this coaster does go down quite a bit. There’s also epic music playing throughout the whole queue and even on the lift hill, and there’s this really cool sound when you raise into the flying position, it sounds like you’re charging up to prepare for the insanity that is manta. Speaking of flying coasters, I love them because it adds to the fun factor a lot and it accentuates the forces and sense of speed quite a bit, it’s a big part of why I love this ride so much. After a relaxing lift you whip down the drop, in the back you get yankee over and then get violently thrown to the side and slammed with the first moment of crushing positive G’s in the flying position. After that you head into the massive pretzel loop, which offers super sustained, blackout level positives in the lying position. The exit of the element slams you back down into your seat and blasts you with a short bust of positives in the flying position before entering a graceful but fun inline twist. The following valley is the most sustained moment of positives in the flying position and you are absolutely hauling at this point, it’s a greyout moment but since it’s in the flying position, instead of the forces crushing down on you they push out and it feels like your eye are popping out of your head. It’s insane and unlike anything else I’ve experienced. Another graceful roll and forceful valley takes you into the mid course, which lightly taps the train so you fly into the 2nd half. The drop off of it provides a unique moment of airtime on a flying coaster. The rest of the ride includes more fun and intense valleys in the flying position and one last inversion, this one being an inline twist which has a little bit of snap to it. This part of the ride offers insane bear misses with the pond, trees and roc’s and some water will hit you. Overall the ride hauls from start to finish the entire time and leaves you breathless on the brake run, despite looking slow off ride. The positives in both the laying and flying position are very powerful and there’s other surprising forces sprinkled in the ride. The ride isn’t too long but doesn’t feel short at all, and is smooth and comfortable except for one jolt but it doesn’t hurt at all. Manta is also just plain fun as you fly around the park, flipping through enjoyable inversions and narrowly dodging trees and rocks. Manta isn’t objectively one of the best coasters out there but personally, the perfect combination of intensity and fun make this a special ride for me.

Airtimes Fluidité Layout

A solid supporting coaster for the park with a bunch of nice airtime pops, a few of them being ejector. It also has a fun, modern layout and is a smooth, decently paced ride with hints of other types of forces as well. Definitely not a family coaster like it apparently was supposed to be but isn’t too crazy either.

Airtimes Bonne suprise ! Fun Débit Inconfort

Pipeline is completely unlike anything I’ve ridden and it’s unique in a good way. Lifting off the board on every airtime moment is something that needs to be experienced to realize how fun it is. It’s the best coaster for floater airtime I’ve done, although the airtime may have been pushing ejector at a few points on my later rides after the coaster warmed up. Throw in some solid positives, a decent launch, an inversion and a snappy transition at the end for variety. The coaster also looks nice and the surrounding area is done up well. The drawbacks of this ride are the very noticeable rattle which doesn’t really take away from the ride, the best which is quite uncomfortable on the collarbone and the slow dispatch times. Overall one of the most pure fun coasters I’ve ridden and I hope more surf coasters get built soon.

Inversions Vitesse Intensité

I rode this back in 2017 and I remember it being intense but this time it was on another level. The launch is surprising forceful and the zero g roll is one of the most snappy elements I’ve experienced, but everything after that up until the mid course is a complete blur as you are hauling and the ride blasts you with powerful non stop blackout level positives. I’ve never felt anything like it on any other coaster.

I was absolutely blown away by this ride. I was expecting a fun family coaster, even though I heard some people really like this ride, I thought they liked it for the theming and because it was fun. However what I got was an intense ride. This coaster seems to never end and all of the launches were great, the positive G’s on this ride are very shocking and there’s a lot of quick and fun transitions. The drop track is also excellent and riding in a motorbike seat really increases the fun factor. The layout is enticing for the whole ride and the pacing and sense of speed is on point. Overall it was a huge surprise how insane this ride was and it’s also just a plain fun ride that I enjoyed a lot.

I don’t think Velocicoaster is the craziest ride out there but it certainly has a lot going for it. It’s a very long ride that’s pure fun through and through and brings the full package: Good restraints and open trains, a few nice ejector moments, great positives on all of the valleys, solid inversions (although I do find the mosasarus roll to be a bit overrated), snappy transitions, solid launches, amazing pacing in the 2nd half, great appearance and theming, surprising moments and a unique layout packed with a variety of elements. It has all of the makings to be one of the greatest coasters ever, the only thing holding it back from being on that level is that it’s inconsistent and it’s just not the most insane out of control feeling ride out there.

A forceless and kind of rough kiddie coaster so it’s one of the worst I’ve done. However you do get some nice views of Iron Gwazi on the ride so that’s a pro I guess.

It’s one of the better wild mice I’ve done just because it’s one of the least uncomfortable and there was some solid laterals but still a pretty bland and forgettable ride overall.

Théma Fun Longueur Temps mort

It’s a long ride with some nice theming and set pieces and the final section has solid spinning and speed but at the end of the day it’s just a family coaster. One of the better ones I’ve done and I’m glad it’s a unique layout but still pretty mild.

I wasn’t expecting much from this ride but I was pleasantly surprised. The loop is solid as on all Schwarzkopf looping coasters but there was these 2 unexpected but awesome lateral jolts on the helixes that pinned and kept u on the side of the train. The ride also has a better sense of speed than I thought and has very open, simple and comfortable trains and restraints. The downside with this ride is that it does feel a bit short and really doesn’t have much to offer but it was better than I was expecting which is all I can ask for.

Situation Launch Longueur Temps mort Intensité

A pretty mild ride overall but along the way there is some decent launches, airtime moments and surprising transitions. Luckily it is a very long ride, has a good variety of elements and has a cool location. It’s fun but the intensity is severely lacking which is why I can’t rank it any higher.

This is the worst B&M wing coaster I've ridden but its still a nice ride, its pretty short but it actually had some intense moments and it had great hangtime, I think the first drop is overrated though, and I just love the fun factor of these wing coasters.

Kumba has some of the most sustained positive G’s I’ve experienced. While other coasters have far stronger moments, throughout most of kumba and especially the larger inversions you are plastered to your seat the entire time and you never really lose the pace. It’s how long you are experiencing these G’s that makes it special. One of the only moments where there isn’t great positives is the hell roll which changes things up with amazing whip. This coaster also has a nice location tucked back in the trees and there’s lots of grass and other plants you can touch during the ride which is cool. There isn’t much variety to this ride but it does what it sets out to do very well, it feels like one super long greyout. Overall one of the better B&M loopers out there.
