The theming is great but its restraints are awful and the ride is sort of janky. That said, I do love it when rides actually tell a story and shoot jets of fire at me.

The theming is good and the idea of a fire truck chase is pretty well executed but I had zero interest in re-riding this. I’m not sure why. It just doesn’t offer me much to enjoy as a coaster.

It’s fun but sort of a transition ride between kid and adult coaster. It reminds me of those old Arrow coasters with the hanging cars that would swing sideways.

The ‘4D’ free spin coaster might be my least favorite next to spinning wild mouse coasters in general, but this particular ride was much more smooth and comfortable for me than the one at Great Adventure. It’s not saying much, but at least I didn’t hate it.

It’s a fun small wooden coaster that surprises with how good it is for such a small size. Only issue I had were long lines and slow ride operators. I really had trouble fitting my long legs into the car so it’s not great for tall people.

The re-tracked first half was buttery smooth and lots of fun and now in 2024 the second half is getting there. There's still a few spots later on that need retracking but overall I love this ride again. It's so fun to ride a restored wooden coaster. This specific one has tons of exciting drops, airtime, and that location in the forest going for it. Keep it up KD!

The theming on this is really good, I love the weird aliens in space suits like you’re entering their hangar and escaping on their ship. The ride is good, especially for an indoor, with a strong launch and fun spaghetti bowl that builds in speed until the end.

It’s good but it’s not great like Lightning Rod, not sure why. The inversions are fun but not as good as Hakugei which has three excellent weightless inversions. It’s very smooth with lots of ejectors but falls short of greatness.

Intimidator is a lovely B&M hyper and good solid fun. It doesn’t have any standout moments or elements. My favorite B&M hyper is Goliath in Atlanta because of its amazing floater airtime which this ride doesn’t come close to, and it’s amazing layout and views. I’d probably rank this alongside Nitro and Apollo as good solid hypers.

I didn’t get any roughness and I absolutely loved the entire layout. It’s so much better than my home park’s Flying Dutchman at SF America. I think the corkscrews at the end are different and add something but it’s really just the whole landscaping with water and smoothness that made the ride work. My favorite part is always the vertical loop because you get to see the other end of the train as you go around it. I also love laying on my back in the station and brakes instead of laying on my stomach on the B&M flyers. This was probably my second favorite ride at the park.

Mako is a good B&M hyper, it does everything well but didn’t really leave a big impression on me. Goliath at SFoG does the same thing with way more floater time and just a better layout.

This was a smooth smaller Schwarzkopf that is worth a ride for sure. I love these older ones when they are well maintained. The ride deserves a fresh coat of paint though so I hope the park spruces this up.

I love that the layout is so different than most steel coasters with 3 launches and lots of unexpected out of order maneuvers with good length. I found it to be smooth and the river section was so beautiful it made me wish the entire ride followed a river bed.

Kumba is like Montu but I think the floorless position was in its favor because I actually wanted another ride. It’s so well integrated with the landscape and reminds me of RMC wild maneuvers so it’s a bit more fun than most B&Ms.

It’s B&M doing its intense looping in inverted form. I got off the ride with my head spinning, as usual for these custom B&M loopers and didn’t want to re-ride.

Iron Gwazi is difficult for me to process and think about critically after riding it because it’s like pure adrenalin rush from start to finish. It’s a very vertical layout with tall hills and drops and a wonderful twisting layout that is difficult to figure out. I only rode twice due to the line but it’s obviously an amazing ride that is so easy to re-ride due to its smoothness and comfort while simultaneously being extreme. It didn’t become my favorite but it’s a great ride. I’m not sure why but it falls short of being on my all time favorites but I’m glad I got to ride and would love to just marathon it like I could ArieForce One. I think that’s the biggest disappointment is that a quick queue pass only works once on this ride and the lines are usually 45+ minutes on weekends so weekdays are a requirement for enthusiasts.

It’s not a tall coaster and has a fairly simple out and back layout but it’s very smooth and has lots of airtime and so it’s easy to repeat. It’s the perfect smaller adult coaster and good introduction for kids and a lot of fun.

My initial impression was not great but after rerides I think this B&M Hyper is a lot of fun with a unique layout in the second half around the fountain area. It’s a great addition to Hershey just like Wildcat being a smooth and fun twisty layout, this is smooth and fun airtime machine. I still prefer the B&M hyper Goliath at SFoG for floater airtime but this is right there with a big fun layout.

This was intense with a wonderful first drop and strong second half. It’s an excellent coaster and RMC. I still rank Lightning Rod and ArieForce One above this but not by much, it’s incredibly smooth, not too forceful and delivers nonstop intense fun.

This is probably the best flying coaster I’ve tried by far. It has that B&M smoothness and a huge drop that’s fun. I would much rather ride sitting down in an RMC train but this was comfortable for flying restraints.

ArieForce One is a truly great roller coaster. Each element works nearly flawlessly and possibly the best of any RMC I’ve ridden yet: the first drop, the truss dive, the high speed along the ground with bunny hop, the extended zero-g roll, the overbanked sideways ejector hill, the unexpected drop right before the zero-g roll, the forceful helix, another zero-g roll. The zero-g elements are just absolutely amazing and definitely make this a world class coaster. I’d still prefer Lightning Rod because of the terrain elements and amazing finish on that one but for zero-g elements this is really setting the bar high. My favorite part was sitting in the back and watching people’s hair flying around each curve. Love love love the back of this.

I love this coaster’s layout with its old school simplicity and I definitely went for re-rides on it. The real problem is Six Flags has not maintained it so that it can run smoothly and give you great airtime moments and I heard other riders saying their body hurt afterwards. These wood coasters really need a lot of TLC to shine.

This was a lot of fun and much more comfortable to ride than the looping B&Ms but it’s just too short a layout with terribly slow operations and tiny trains. I got the credit and I would ride it again but who wants to wait forever for such a short ride?

This was a “one-and-done” ride with the crotch discomfort and everything that’s wrong with looping B&Ms generally with way too much force in a low height layout. It looks cool when you walk by it at least.

Riddler Mindbender was okay, about what you would expect for a coaster from the 70s, sort of clunky and rattly, but overall it was a fun throwback. I love when parks keep older coasters alive and running. This coaster had valley’ed the week before I rode it so I’m thankful the park got it running again.
