Longueur Inconfort

I’m always puzzled at how uncomfortably made most kiddie coasters are. Seems like that should be priority #1 for a coaster for children. It’s horribly uncomfortable for people of any age and size.

First Drop Bonne suprise ! Situation Trop court

Was surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Some great airtime in the back row, really smooth for its age and the inversion were the Goldilocks of inversions. Not too aggressive not to dull nicely contoured and enjoyable. Wish it was longer but a fantastic supporting ride to king and queen of the park OR and TT. Didn’t get a chance to ride front row, but based on the airtime we got in the back row I’m guessing that’s the best place to ride.

Airtimes Launch Fun

I really have a soft spot for unique coasters as long as they are fun and at least mostly comfortable and this checks off both boxes. It just got knocked out of my top 35 list but could even find its way back on if I re ride others that disappoint. Fun launch, airtime could stand being a bit longer but definitely a good one.

With the introduction of rattle since I last rode it around 10 years ago it’s a bit less enjoyable. Loses a little pace at the end going into the double rolls as well, but it acts a bit of a stall with fun hang time . It’s still an amazing coaster and the rattle is still pretty minimal when compared to other Wooden coasters but preferred it when it was glass smooth as that’s rare with wooden coasters and honestly a bit of a treat. It’s still a very unique ride filled with airtime, even some side airtime. It’s a back seat coaster for sure but try both ends if you get the chance. I think Time Traveler is going to nudge OR out of my top 5 as it’s just so fun and re rideable but props to SDC for having 2 coasters in my top 6!

Confort Fluidité Débit Déception !

Honestly this is a miss, and $30 million that could have been better spent on something new and just kept the old one, that probably had more charm imo. The theming to me isn’t anything special and one wall was completely bare for a chunk of the ride. The coaster itself does nothing special either. I guess it’s fun for a family with youngsters and it’s smooth I’ll give it that.

First Drop Fluidité Layout Launch

As spinning coaster I had my doubts. My first lap quelled them immediately. Had 3 laps in total all in the back and that first drop is amazing! Definitely the star of the show but the rest ain’t too shabby either. Great airtime and hang time moments. The spinning isn’t aggressive enough to make you feel dizzy or sick but enough to add a fun unpredictability to the ride and make every ride feel a little different. Now that outlaw run has gotten a little rattle and roughness this is the best ride in the park. What a great top 2 coasters for a park to have and with 2 great and unique coasters in Powder Keg and Wildfire backing them up, makes sense why this park is so popular among enthusiasts.

Intensité Fluidité

Not a massive B&M invert guy but this one is surprisingly smooth for being built in 1995. There are many better B&M inverts but this comes in 3rd place in a super weak line up at SFSL

Bonne suprise ! Fun Fluidité

Not my favorite coaster type but this one was smooth with a fun layout.

Fluidité Longueur Airtimes Intensité

It’s a decent kiddie coaster. The on ride sound effects are a nice bonus.

Harnais Inconfort A raser !

Old Vakoma Boomer. Is all you need to know. Make them all disappear!

Fluidité Baffes Harnais Inconfort

The awful profiling of the track just kills the ride. Trains themselves are smooth but the janky profiling and harnesses beat you up. Tear it down!

Launch Intensité Inconfort

It’s unique but I found it a bit uncomfortable. It’s the best ride park which isn’t saying much. Wouldn’t want to ride this too many times because of the discomfort so just adds to the disappointing line up SFSL

Confort Fun Déception ! Airtimes

Earlier day ride with half empty train probably don’t help but not a particularly memorable ride which is sad as the parks second best coaster.

Longueur Vibrations Inconfort A raser !

RMC this thing asap. It’s dangerously rough.

Airtimes Situation Déception ! Inconfort A raser !

I feel like this got a lot worse since my last visit. I feel bad for this park. There are at least 4 flat out bad roller coasters at this park Ninja, Boom, Boss and scream. This park needs a lot of love for me to revisit.

Théma Fluidité Trop court Débit Airtimes

It’s a beautiful roller coaster. No doubt about that and worth a lap just to see the que theming. Family coaster is being kind, it’s a boderline kiddie coaster. It’s too short and one train booming will likely create some long lines on busy days. It’s a front row ride for sure but the one lap is plenty for the credit if you are an enthusiast. Probably top 5 prettiest coasters though. Theming and the train got this an extra point. Without that it’s a 2.5.

Situation Vitesse Airtimes

Had this above thunderbird on my visit 10 years ago but no longer. Not sure if was rain related but the airtime was meh this time around. The terrain is nice, pace is good as is intensity. It’s still better than Legend so I’ll give it that. Sorry I just really need my airtime.

Vitesse Intensité Vibrations Inconfort Airtimes

Honestly don’t get the love for this one. It’s rough and I’m not a fan of lateral focused woodies. If it’s rough and uncomfortable I’ve got to be rewarded with some airtime. Ride it once for the day and marathon voyage and thunderbird.

Bonne suprise ! Launch Fluidité Trop court

Not a huge fan of wing style coasters but this one is a winner. If they keep building wing coasters they absolutely needed launches. Flying through the two structures with amazing head choppers was the cherry on top for this ride. Smooth, comfortable just a great coaster. Easily my favourite wing coaster.

Situation Intensité Longueur Airtimes

It had been at least 10 years since I rode it and there was rain earlier in the day, but as an airtime connoisseur I found it a bit disappointing in that category, especially compared to it’s lil sibling Ravine Flyer 2, which I rode earlier in the week. It’s still a masterpiece, great first drop, insane lats, improved as the day got hotter, still super intense and a lot of fun. Very re rideable considering the length and intensity. The re tracked areas also seemed nice and smooth. I think there are better wooden coasters like El Toro, Thunderhead and even Ravine Flyer 2 to me is more fun but Voyage is still likely cracking my top 5 wooden coasters.

Airtimes Fun

It’s not something worth marathoning, especially with SC and LR in the park, but a fun older woodie with a few decent airtime moments. I found it a bit rougher in the back and me and my lil coaster enthusiast in training, both preferred our front row ride. Definitely would still suggest a lap on both ends of the train.

Airtimes Fun Trop court

Definitely a fun lil surprise and decently intense for a family coaster with some nice pops of airtime. A little on the rough side especially for a newer family coaster. Overall still a fun one that you should take a lap on both ends of the train.

Airtimes Fun Ejectors Trop court

The only Chance rcoaster I’ve ridden and it didn’t disappoint. We need more of these! 9 air time moments, 10 if you count the first drop in the back at least. Fantastic ride nothing to dislike other than it being a bit short in duration. I go back and forth trying to decide if this is a better coaster vs Storm Chaser. Either way they are a great 1-2 punch followed by Kentucky Flyer and Thunder Run as fun wooden coasters. Great line up for a smaller park.

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Trop court

I have yet to ride a bad RMC but this one is shorter, smaller and a bit less intense than others. Definitely a notch below the last two I’ve ridden (WCR and SV). That being said love the twisting first drop acts as a bit of a stall especially in the front which was really fun! Has some fantastic airtime moments. Lost some pace near the end but I rode right after a rainstorm and the trains weren’t completely filled. Very re rideable which is always a plus if you like to marathon coasters.

Situation Intensité Longueur Airtimes

It’s so long, unique with amazing terrain you have to love it. It was hauling the last time I rode it. I found it pretty intense especially after the second lift hill. With all the length it would be nice to have more airtime, could be smoother and the first lift hill is slow as molasses. I’m getting old so don’t think I can handle marathoning it but a ride in the afternoon and one in the dark to end your night would be the chefs kiss to a day at Kings Island. 👑

Airtimes First Drop Bonne suprise !

So after riding this I truly don’t get the flack this ride gets. Classifying as a hyper vs a giga over one foot also seems like nitpicking. I need to ride fury and “project” 305 again but I think I like it better than my home parks Leviathan. Felt it had this really unique type of airtime at the end with twist pop and side airtime, sorta like some RMC elements, that was an amazing surprise. Unexpectedly, I think this is my favourite ride in the park. Followed my mystic timbers or diamondback and then the beast.

First Drop Vitesse Intensité Airtimes

Ok it’s a good ride, smooth comfortable and really re rideable. First drop isn’t huge but with the aggressive twist it feels pretty intense. Maybe I was spoiled by gravity groups Ravine Flyer 2 the day before, but found the airtime kind of lacking on this one and rode it front and back on a hot day, later in the day. With all the hype I was a bit disappointed. Better airtime moments and it would be a 5

Fluidité Baffes Harnais Inconfort

In general not a fan of the boomies. The pro is this one is one of the smoother ones but the harnesses are awful. Not particularly fun staring at a stranger two feet away from you either.

Lap Bar Confort Fluidité Airtimes

It’s really smooth for an old PTC. If you’re an an enthusiast looking for airtime and intensity you’ll be disappointed. If you’re introducing a little one to roller coasters it’s a perfect starter and respect it for what it is.

Longueur Baffes Inconfort Sans intérêt

When it’s a kiddie/family coaster and you’re constantly banging your head or have to lean super forward to avoid doing so it’s only worth riding once in your life for the credit. One and done and move on.
