I just got another ride on this coaster after many years and my opinion of the ride has improved significantly. I rode this several times back when it first opened and I was underwhelmed by it. I thought that the first drop and the pretzel loop were amazing. However, the ride seemed slow and boring afterwards. On my ride just a few days ago, the coaster maintained a good speed throughout the entire layout. The swooping turns and the inline twist were much more forceful and fun than on my previous rides. Because of this, I gave this ride another star. It's not a top 10 for me, but it was definitely an enjoyable ride.

This is the only Vekoma boomerang coaster I've been on. Overall, It's just an okay ride. The reverse lift and drop is interesting if you've never experienced it before. The inversions are nothing special, especially nowadays with a lot more interesting inversions out there. I don't see this as a "must ride". The Great Nor Easter and The Great White are definitely much better rides.

I rode this many years ago and thought it was a decent ride. I like the drop right out of the station and the layout is decent. It's nothing special by today's standards, but it certainly a better than average ride. It's definitely worth riding if you're at the Wildwood Boardwalk.

This is the only Vekoma SLC I've ridden and I think it's a great ride. I love the pacing and the variety of inversions. I also love flying around above the boardwalk. I have ridden it both with the original trains and with the new trains. While I never had issues with the original trains, I definitely prefer the newer trains. The vest restraints are much more comfortable and pretty much eliminate any chance of head banging. Apparently, the consensus is that this is the best SLC out there. I can totally understand that since I really enjoyed the ride and could never understand why so many people complained about these SLC coasters. I enjoyed this coaster a lot. While it wasn't quite as smooth as the B&M inverts, it was just as intense and fun. While this isn't a top 10 coaster for me, it's definitely a great ride and worth experiencing.

Sky Rocket was an average ride with a few fun elements, but nothing that really stands out. The launch is weak compared to most other launched coasters. The top hat is okay, but they added a pointless trim brake at the top so you no longer get any air time. The few inversions are fun, but nothing special. Overall, the ride just doesn't do enough. I could use more of pretty much ANYTHING: inversions, air time hills, a helix or two.

I wasn't impressed by my ride on Jack Rabbit. The only fun part was the double down that provided a strong moment of ejector air time. There wasn't anything else notable about the ride. I also found the trains quite small and uncomfortable. I also prefer a real lap bar instead of the seatbelt + grab bar combo that this ride provides.

I was pleasantly surprised by Thunderbolt. I don't generally like the older, rough wooden coasters. However, I loved the unique layout and intensity of this ride. I also loved how there are big drops all the way to the end of the ride. One thing I didn't like was the bench seating in the trains. The strong lateral forces cause the person on the left to get crushed. They also don't permit single rides, so you have to wait to be paired up with another person. Individual seats would be much better on this ride.

This was my first inverted B&M coaster. It's a great compact layout that is a lot of fun. It's a bit short, but it's quite intense. All of the inversions pack a punch and it has a great finish. While many more interesting inverted coasters have come out over the years, this is still a great classic that is definitely worth a ride if you haven't already experienced it.

I really miss this ride because it was a lot of fun. It wasn't all that great when it had the OTSRs. However, once they were replaced with lap bars, the ride became amazing. I had the privilege of being able to ride both sides many times before they removed the heartline rolls. I liked the Batman side more because the inside top hat inversion was awesome. The Robin side was still a lot of fun, with its huge cobra roll. One big issue with this ride was that they often ran just one side, which meant the capacity wasn't very good.

My ride on Magnum was painful. During the last half, my legs kept slamming into the lap bar. They should seriously consider putting different restraints and/or trains on this ride. It could be amazing if it wasn't painful. This was a similar experience to my rides on Phantom's Revenge. Magnum was far worse, though. I hear that only a certain row of the train provides a comfortable ride. Even so, I shouldn't have to pick a specific row to enjoy a ride.

I was a bit disappointed in my rides on Phantom's Revenge. The ride is intense and delivers some amazing air time. I also love the first 2 drops, especially the 2nd one. The main problem was with the lap bar. My body kept slamming into it during the ride. I even tried pulling the seat belt as tight as possible, but that didn't solve the problem. My only decent ride was when I pressed my thighs tightly against the lap bar and maintained that pressure for the whole ride. While this seemed to mostly solve the issue, I didn't enjoy having to do that. Maybe I'm just spoiled by B&M hypers and their very comfortable clamshell restraints. In any case, the lap bar ruined what should have been an amazing ride.

B&M delivers yet another great hyper coaster. This ride is a lot of fun. Just like Nitro, there are loads of floater airtime hills. I also love some of the more unique elements towards the end of the ride. This is exactly what you'd expect from a B&M. It's fast, smooth, comfortable and delivers lots of airtime. This is in my top 10. It currently sits just above Nitro, but it's super close. It's been a few years since I've been on Nitro, so these 2 coasters may switch positions when I ride Nitro again soon.

I was so happy when Hersheypark built this ride since I had never experienced an RMC hybrid coaster. I was blown away by this ride and ended up going on it 4 times in a single day. By converting Wildcat to Wildcat's Revenge, Hersheypark turned a terrible ride into an absolute masterpiece. There are so many things to love about this ride. First off, the pacing on this ride is probably the best out of any coaster I've been on. RMC are truly engineering geniuses because these rides are extremely smooth, just like a B&M coaster. The first drop is great. The mix of inversions, drops and airtime hills is phenomenal. I also thought the restraints were great and much better than the ones on Steel Vengeance. I appreciated the 2 big handles on them that I could grip. Another great thing about this ride is the separate loading and unloading stations. Hersheypark is notorious for very slow ride operators, but this setup worked great. I never waited longer than 20 minutes for any ride. This coaster is currently my #3 coaster. I preferred Steve Vengeance's longer length and variety even though it's lap bar restraints and pacing weren't as good as Wildcat's Revenge. Still, this ride is a very great contender for top coaster. It also helps that Hersheypark is pretty close to me.

Skyrush is probably the most intense coaster I've been on. The air time is also the strongest I've experienced (I will ride El Toro soon, so I'll see how that compares!). There is just no describing the intensity of the ride. The first drop is arguably the best first drop of any coaster. The ejector airtime on the hills is indescribable. You seriously feel like you are going to fly out of the coaster. The whippy turns also deliver some great forces. I also love the final hill with the sudden twist from right to left at the top. Overall, it's simply an amazing ride and currently sits at #4 for me. I have 2 main complaints about the ride. First off, the lap bars are very tight and lay at a weird angle. By the end of the ride, they can be quite uncomfortable. I've always been able to tolerate them, but I can understand why some people avoid this ride. I have yet to experience the latest changes to the lap bars, but I hear they are greatly improved. My second complaint is that the coaster is fairly one-dimensional. It's all about intensity. The layout could benefit from a little more variety. I still think the ride is fantastic and I totally understand why so many people have this as their #1 coaster.

Medusa was my favorite coaster when it first opened. It was refreshing to get such a smooth inverting rollercoaster to ride instead of The Great American Scream Machine. I love the variety of inversions. My favorite is the camelback / zero-G roll before to cobra roll. Unfortunately, the ride has gotten a bit rougher over the years. Also, I've now ridden more interesting rides like Gatekeeper and Steel Curtain. This is still a great ride and it will always be special to me.

I rode this twice the first year it opened. While this ride is a lot of fun, it's just too short. The launch is amazing. The top hat is fun and the spiral turn coming back down is great, too. However, that's all there is to the ride. I much prefer Top Thrill 2 since it's been modified to have the 3 separate launches. Too bad they demolished this instead of modifying it similar to TT2.

This was the first hyper coaster I rode and I was immediately hooked on them. I have never had a bad ride on Nitro. I love everything about this coaster. The airtime is great. The 2nd hill provides a unique feeling with the turn to the left. The helix is amazing. The final bunny hops are a great way to end this ride. Also, the clamshell restraints are probably my favorite for this type of coaster. Finally, this thing has great capacity. The line is always moving fast, so you rarely have to wait long to ride it. B&M definitely spoiled me with this ride. It's easily in my top 10.

This was my first and only ride on a B&M dive coaster. While it's definitely not a bad ride, it just didn't really deliver anything that I hadn't already experienced on better coasters. I feel like dive coasters were once a novelty since there were very few coasters with vertical (or beyond vertical) drops. However, now there are so many of them that the drop doesn't really provide anything new, other than the pause. Just like any B&M coaster, it's smooth and delivers some nice inversions. There just wasn't anything that stood out on this coaster. It didn't help that there was a fairly long line for the ride. It's worth riding if the line is short, but I feel like it's a fairly mediocre ride.

Once again, B&M does NOT disappoint with a fantastic coaster. This was my first ride on a B&M wing coaster and I loved it. I know this ride gets a lot of complaints because it lacks intensity. Well, sometimes I just want to ride a super fun rollercoaster that doesn't try to beat me up. This whole ride felt like I was just gliding through the air. It's super smooth and there's even a hill that delivers a nice pop of air time. I also love the vest style restraints since the metal bars are farther away from your head, which eliminates any headbanging. This is easily a top 10 coaster for me and possibly my favorite coaster if I'm looking for inversions.

This is another fantastic ride at Cedar Point. The first drop is incredible. The layout is super fun with the overbanked turns and tunnel. I love how this ride doesn't let up at all under the final brake run. Even though there are some complaints about the lack of airtime, I felt that the 2 hills gave decent pops of airtime. Overall, this is just a fun, fast ride that's definitely in my top 10.

Maverick is an outstanding ride and currently my #2 rollercoaster. I love the variety of elements: the quick turns, the amazing air time hill, the twisted horseshoe roll, the 2nd launch from the tunnel, the Stengel dives. I also love how the ride isn't that tall and doesn't really look that impressive from the pathways. It's definitely a big surprise once you ride it. The only thing that prevented this from being my #1 is that I think it could use a couple more elements. It's pretty well known that the heartline roll was removed from the ride. I think that if 2nd half still had a heartline roll and maybe another air time hill, that could have been enough to push it into my #1 spot. One annoying thing about this ride is that it always seems to have a long line. I managed to get 2 rides on this early before the line got long. Unless you ride this one early or close to closing time, it always seemed to have a wait of at least an hour.
