    A little short but really fun. There's a little jolt during the Corkscrew but that's it. Hangtime, airtime, comfortable, smooth.

    Awesome E&F Miler kiddie coaster. I love their rides to bits. This ride has good airtime and laterals and goes around twice. It was easily better than Looping Thunder before they replaced it with Adrenaline Peak.

    Though the OSTRs feel unnecessary on this no-inversion, floored suspended coaster, the swinging is still fun and well paced in a cool forest location.

    Though shorter than Pyrock, I think Blizzrock was the complete package. A zero-g roll, a cobra roll, a loop, and a corkscrew. And since it was shorter, it was much better paced, and got more intense as the ride went on. Because of this, it was my favorite of the two, and I'll definitely miss it the most.

    Théma Intensité Longueur

    Pyrock was a long invert, with two whippy flat spins and two forceful immelmanns. The dueling was amazing, the layout snappy, and the theming excellent. I'll truly miss this awesome Invert, as Dueling Dragons was the best coaster on Universal property.

    Lion felt like the definitive Gwazi experience, while Tiger felt quirky and unique. The elements went farther out, and side we rode this side less, it felt like a new spin on an old favorite. Still pretty lousy, but badass when it dueled with millennium flyers.

    As bad of a ride it was, this was my first woodie. It's long, well paced, and twisty. The ride was at its peak when it dueled with millennium flyers, and without there was still fun to be had. I love the memories it gave me, and I'm glad it's getting reborn as a better ride.

    This ride was terrifying, but nostalgic. It was one of my first big coasters, and I adored it. Forceful, long, intense, and ready to fall apart. I don't really miss it much, but I'm happy for the memories it gave me.

    Airtimes Fun Layout Vibrations Inconfort

    I think Georgia Cyclone was a much more fun ride than Scream Machine. It had great laterals and airtime, and a nice location. However, it was ridiculously rough, and that made the hilarity of riding it go up even more. The lack of historical significance and better layout makes me glad this was RMCed instead, but the park now needs a good wooden coaster.

    Mean Streak was so lousy. Forceless, unmaintained, neutered, and really really slow and long.

    Théma Inversions Launch Trop court Layout

    Volcano is a ride that really added to the uniqueness of King Dominion, and it's a shame it never got to coexist with Twisted Timbers. The launches were great, the theming was outstanding, and the ride was exciting. The barrel rolls are fun and the volcano is awesome. The layout is repetitive and too short, but that adds to how unique and quirky this ride was.

    The main draw for this one is the amazing onride OST. However, there are very few drops, and the last half of the ride is only right turns, and I think that's lame. Still a really fun family coaster.

    Théma Launch Longueur Temps mort

    This is a really weird coaster. I rode this as California Screamin', and I enjoyed it. The launch is great, but most of the layout is awkward meandering. The loop is fun, but the airtime hills didn't have airtime. Still, it's a really long ride and it's quite fun with the music.

    Xcelerator takes off like a bullet and leaves your stomach in the station. It's intense, and the layout is over quickly. No launch has come close quite yet, except maybe TTD.

    Silver Bullet is more B&M awesomeness at work. Six inversions (I might argue seven because of how hard the stengel dive banks), two helices, great pacing, and a great location make this a fine invert indeed.

    Though quite short, this ride still show Schwarzkopf's masterful engineering. A smooth launch, a forceful loop, and a fun backwards section. I'm glad this coaster is still around.

    Definitely one of the best family coasters I've ridden. The ride is long, the interaction with the paths and other rides is excellent, and the theming is great.

    I rode this ride pre GCI treatment, but I still adored it. This was possibly the first good wooden coaster I ever rode, and it blew me away. Floater airtime, great laterals, huge size and speed, fast pacing, an unpredictable layout, and a great final helix. GhostRider is one of my keystone coasters and I'm glad for that.

    I remember enjoying this ride, but the memory is vague. My biggest memory is being disappointed that the ride didn't have a second section after the second lift hill.

    Colossus was fun as far as neutered parking lot racing woodies with minimal maintenance go. This is probably one of the worst coasters of the second golden age, so I don't find its demise regrettable.

    Viper is one of my favorite Arrows. Though a bit rough, it has a long layout, a good location, and fun inversions, and a helix at the end. I remember being pleasantly surprised.

    Revolution holds up extremely well. Smooth, well paced, with a great terrain layout through the trees. The loop is fittingly dramatic, the positives on the turns are forceful, and the final helix is great.

    This is like a smoother, more exciting wild mouse, essentially. It's twisty, sharp, and fun. And just like Canyon Blaster, the location is excellent.

    Théma Inversions Fluidité

    This is definitely one of my favorite Arrows. The inversions are smooth and fun, and the turns at the end are excellent too. But what really makes this ride is how it interacts with the landscaping of the park, which I think is really spectacular, and makes the ride look larger than life. This was one of my first looping coasters, and when I re-rode it a couple years ago, it held up in my mind.
