This one might take the title for most boring B&M, and that’s saying something because that manufacturer is the GOAT of making dull coasters. It’s plagued with trim brakes everywhere.

I typically find B&M coasters to be dull, repetitive, and boring. This ride is the exception. Granted, it is still a B&M, and therefore, it isn’t elit...

I typically find B&M coasters to be dull, repetitive, and boring. This ride is the exception. Granted, it is still a B&M, and therefore, it isn’t elite. Nonetheless, I enjoy riding it whenever I’m at Carowinds.

I thoroughly enjoyed my rides on Steel Curtain. In fact, this ride was so good that it had me wondering if it was the best ride in the park even though Phantom’s Revenge was one of my top coasters. I loved how the ride mixed in floaty, smooth inversions with small pops of airtime. And, the view of the river from the lift hill was gorgeous. My only complaint is the theming. As a Bengals fan, I hate the Steelers.

El Toro might be the most intense ride I’ve ever been on, more intense than Intimidator 305 or whatever stupid name that ride has now. Awesome wooden ...

El Toro might be the most intense ride I’ve ever been on, more intense than Intimidator 305 or whatever stupid name that ride has now. Awesome wooden coaster. I didn’t find it to be rough at all.

Update: The new restraints are much better than the old ones. My thighs didn’t get crushed anymore. Now that I was able to ride it pain-free, I though...

Update: The new restraints are much better than the old ones. My thighs didn’t get crushed anymore. Now that I was able to ride it pain-free, I thought it was fairly fun. The best part is the fast cable lift to the top of the hill. I still don’t understand the hype behind this coaster, though. The old restraints were miserably uncomfortable, and they completely ruined what could have been an enjoyable ride. I hope the updated 2024 restraints make this ride fun.

Why is the line to this ride always long? I was at Hershey on a Monday and Tuesday, and the wait ranged from 30-90 minutes. If this was a good coaster, then I’d understand the wait. I typically love old wood coasters, but this ride is not worth the wait.

Terrible coaster. I waited nearly 90 minutes for this garbage ride. I’m not a huge fan of B&M’s, especially their inverted models, but this was one of...

Terrible coaster. I waited nearly 90 minutes for this garbage ride. I’m not a huge fan of B&M’s, especially their inverted models, but this was one of their worst designs. Don’t waste your time waiting for this boring ride loaded with straight track and dull inversions.

Excellent roller coaster. My back row rides were some of the most fun rides I have ever been on. I loved the two sideways airtime moments, and all of ...

Excellent roller coaster. My back row rides were some of the most fun rides I have ever been on. I loved the two sideways airtime moments, and all of the inversions were perfect. My only complaint is that my front row ride dragged a bit. The train dramatically slowed down coming down the first element after the lift hill, and the rest of the elements didn’t hit has hard in the front as they did in the back. Nonetheless, this is still a top tier coaster.

Wow, this ride was spectacular! The 200 plus foot drop off the ravine, the ejector bunny hills, the interaction with Thunderbolt, and the comfortable ...

Wow, this ride was spectacular! The 200 plus foot drop off the ravine, the ejector bunny hills, the interaction with Thunderbolt, and the comfortable restraints made this one of the best rides I have ever ridden. My only complaint is the long walk from the ride’s exit to its entrance. That made lapping the ride a bit tedious.

Much to my surprise, Verbolten was my favorite ride at Busch Gardens. The launches packed a punch, the drop track was a blast, and the theming was fun...

Much to my surprise, Verbolten was my favorite ride at Busch Gardens. The launches packed a punch, the drop track was a blast, and the theming was fun. This ride was pure fun and was a nice change of pace from the many derivative B&M’s at the park.

GCI makes fantastic wooden coasters. This one was had just the right amount of roughness for me. I’ll take a ride like this over a typical B&M coaster...

Best ride at Dollywood. Yes, I enjoyed it more than Lightning Rod, which was an amazing ride too. I am a sucker for GCI and Gravity Group wooden coasters. Those manufacturers make such fun rides.
