    Launch Intensité Harnais Inconfort Layout

    The launches are fun and decently forceful and going into the spikes you pull some good G’s. Unfortunately the seat mold is really uncomfortable and the metal from the thing the seat belt buckles into hurts your arm that’s forced to rest against it. I had neither of these problems on wicked twister which is strange, and wicked twister just runs better than this overall. Decent supporting coaster but it can be a bit painful.

    Pretty mediocre ride. The launch is solid and the inversions are fun but the ride is pretty forceless, has a lot of slow and pointless moments and a bunch of jerky transitions.

    This coaster pulls pretty much no force and runs slow but the inversions still are somewhat fun. Overall pretty mediocre ride and low tier B&M looper.

    First Drop Fluidité Longueur Déception ! Airtimes Temps mort

    I find Gemini pretty overrated overall. The first drop has the best airtime on the ride but other than that it has pretty much none. There is also a lot of slow turns that do nothing. However it’s a long and smooth ride and I do get some enjoyment out of it.

    First Drop Fluidité Longueur Déception ! Airtimes Temps mort

    Pretty disappointing just like the other side. There isn’t really much airtime except for the first drop and it has a lot of slow and boring elements but it is still decently fun.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Situation Fun Fluidité Temps mort Intensité

    Definitely a tame ride but it still has some fun moments like the loop, 2 helixes and s bends. The location is also stunning and the coaster is one of the smoothest I’ve ridden. Overall it’s pretty mediocre and feels like a family coaster despite the inversion but it’s a nice relaxing ride.

    Théma Bonne suprise ! Fun Inconfort Intensité

    I rode the Kings Dominion version first and was disappointed, however this one runs better and I enjoy it much more. The effects also work on this one as well which is nice. I still find the intensity on these a bit overrated, but the launches are fun and their is some fun and surprising moments of airtime and laterals. It has a few awkward transitions that hurt a bit but it isn’t too painful. Overall it’s a family coaster so it doesn’t pull crazy forces but for a family coaster it’s above average.

    Bonne suprise ! Fun Débit Inconfort Fiabilité

    Very unique coaster that I have had the fortune to ride, although it still went down a few times while I was there and I had to wait a long time to ride it, but it was definitely worth it. It’s very painful when you awkwardly bank into those brake runs, but the ride is pure fun and has this weird surprising feeling on the drops that I really enjoy to make up for the pain. Overall although the ride does hurt, it’s a weird ride that gives weird sensations I’ve never felt on any other coaster. At the end of the day it isn’t too crazy and it’s just a family coaster but I like the ride for what it has to offer.

    Same as the other side, fun but it feels slow and pulls almost no force

    Bonne suprise ! Fun Fluidité Trop court Débit

    Another great family coaster at Dollywood. Although it is a short ride, it’s butter smooth and just pure fun. That first turn also caught me off guard with how intense it was. Overall it’s just a family coaster and nothing too special but it’s good for what it is.

    The ride doesn’t do too much but the launches are fun and the theming is excellent.

    Théma Fun Layout Intensité

    As far as family coasters go this is one of my favorite. It’s a family coaster so the forces it has aren’t too strong, but it has 2 fun launches including a backwards launch, some enjoyable floater moments and some nice turns and s bends. It’s also a long ride with a nice location and great theming plus on ride effects. Definitely just a plain fun ride.

    Airtimes Bonne suprise ! Fluidité Temps mort

    A pretty smooth ride with some great floater at the begging, nothing special but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Airtimes Lap Bar Temps mort

    Pretty good classic woodie. The ride is a tad rough but definitely bearable. The first 2 hills have some really strong floater and the rest of the hills give solid air. The restraints also allow you to come out of your seat more. Overall this ride just has a bunch of solid airtime hills so it’s a nice ride but nothing crazy or anything.

    A nice classic woodie with a bunch of solid airtime moments thanks to the buzz bar.

    Bonne suprise ! Situation Vibrations Temps mort

    Not really sure to put for pros because it isn’t exactly good at one thing, it has pretty decent airtime, 2 great moments of laterals and after the first turn which is the most tedious and boring part of any coaster the pacing is good. The ride is a little rough but not rough enough to bother me. Overall it’s a solid wood coaster and finds a spot in the middle of my rankings.

    Théma Inversions Launch Temps mort Layout

    A good launch to start the ride and the sea serpent inversion is very intense, however the rest of the ride doesn’t really pull any forces but it’s still fun.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Intensité Trop court Layout

    Wow this thing is intense. Invertigo has some of the strongest positives I’ve ever felt, it makes normal boomerangs feel like kiddie coasters. It’s also relatively smooth and comfortable as well which surprised me. However I can’t rank this ride any higher because it is very short and has a bland layout but what it does is insane.

  • Carter Eckhart

    First Drop Confort Fluidité Trop court Temps mort Intensité

    Middle of the pack hyper, which isn’t saying much because I’m not a big fan of B&M hypers. The first drop and following hill are great moments of sustained floater but then the rest of the ride does nothing. At least it doesn’t feel like it’s gonna valley like some of the other hypers. It’s also a pretty short ride too so that’s a con. Overall it has a few nice moments but the ride itself is nothing special.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Launch Fun Débit

    A very underrated coaster for sure, the launch is actually very intense and the rest of the ride has some fun turns and curves. The motorbike seating adds to the fun factor to me and the restraints don’t bother me. Overall it’s one of my favorite family coasters mainly because that launch packs a surprising punch.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Airtimes Fun Hangtime

    The vests on this aren’t that bad and I got 3 solid floater moments combined with some decent hangtime. It’s not the greatest coaster out there and Griffon is definitely better, but it’s good fun and overhated by some.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Inversions Intensité Débit Airtimes

    I used to hate this ride but now it’s solid. The drop and final airtime hill are overrated but the rest of the ride is full of fun and unique elements that give great positives, whip and even surprising airtime at spots. It also has a rattle but this time around it didn’t bother me at all. I’ll never understand the full hype for this ride but at least I wasn’t disappointed by it anymore.

  • Carter Eckhart

    First Drop Lap Bar Fluidité Trop court

    Great first drop. The rest of the layout has some fun elements but is nothing special. Overall solid ride but nothing special, the layout is pretty slow and boring but I do like the ride mainly for the awesome first drop.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Débit Inversions Intensité Vibrations

    This is definitely one of the best floorless coasters. The inversions and turns are very forceful, and those corkscrews are some of the most whippy I've experienced. I do wish it had a zero g roll but it makes up for it with the very forceful low to the ground turns that other floorless coasters lack. The drop off the MCBR also gives surprising sustained airtime and the transition between the 2 corkscrews gives a nice airtime pop too. Plus the pacing feels way better on this than most of the other floorless coasters. There is a very noticeable rattle but it doesn't really bother me to much. Overall its very weird for a floorless coaster, it has lots of surprises and its just fun and intense.

    I got a lot of flips on this one which is why it’s my favorite free spin, it’s a fun and kinda intense ride but still really just an ok ride overall.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Situation Intensité Airtimes Temps mort

    I put intensity as a pro because of the laterals, there is 2 moments of really great laterals, however the rest of the ride doesn’t offer much force but at least it’s comfortable and the setting is good.

  • Carter Eckhart

    Situation Confort Fun Temps mort Intensité

    Some solid floater airtime but the airtime strength is very overrated, there is also a lot of dead spots. Still it is a pretty fun ride with a bunch of good moments.

    Situation Vitesse Ejectors Fiabilité

    This is an amazing coaster, the pacing and the airtime is some of the best on the planet, it doesn't even feel short, unfortunately i wish this ride had positives, this ride easily gets 5 stars for me

    Inversions Vitesse Ejectors Débit Fiabilité

    This is probably the single most underrated coaster I have ridden, it is just such a well rounded ride. It’s a long and complete ride with perfect pacing the whole time. All of the inversions are fun. Some give strange forces and hangtime while others give aggressive whip, like the stall which is my favorite inversion I’ve experienced. There is even several moments of crazy ejector too. Also I just love the layout and the uniqueness of the ride. However it’s very hard to ride this coaster with the terrible uptime and capacity. Overall, Steel curtain just hauls and pulls some of the craziest forces I’ve experienced. Combine that with great variety and a unique layout and you have exactly what I look for in a coaster.
