The first full POV of Cosmic Rewind (queue, preshows, on-ride and all) is now on YouTube! My thoughts (Spoilers):

Name: Sky Surfer Model: Gerstlauer Infinity (Swing Launch) Platform: NoLimits 2 Mainly inspired by Schwur des Karnan, Fury and Mystic, my goal was to design a funky, unique layout mixing high, hangtime-loaded elements and low, intense transitions (with some tricks up its sleeves). This is...

Wild Adventures - Tasmanian River Rapids. The only Hafema rapids in North America, and in a park full of cloned coasters, this was an unexpected and enjoyable surprise. It also had the longest line in the park by far - all of the coasters were a station wait while Tasmanian River Rapids had a...

Just need to finish supportwork, add scenery, pick a color scheme and name. It's going to be a funky coaster for sure.

VelociCoaster appeals to the masses, while Iron Gwazi appeals to the hardcore thrillseekers. VelociCoaster is much more of an experience, focusing on storytelling, theme and immersive scenery alongside a very good (but not overly intense) coaster. When a train on VelociCoaster rolls back into...

Easy answer for me here, Voyage at Holiday World. My favorite coaster since 2018, and in turn, favorite wooden coaster as well. I love it because of its absurdly long duration, relentlessness, amount of airtime, varied masterpiece of a layout and secluded setting. While no single moment on...

Considering the very unforgiving location (over a road and river, in between maintenance buildings and a roundabout, on a narrow footprint) plus the need for block sections every 36 seconds (to reach 1600 riders per hour with only 16 person trains), I'm especially impressed with Voltron's...

2022 - Pantheon, Tumbili, Iron Gwazi

Is it allowed to have one mid-course launch, with a lift hill at the start of the layout? Or can we only use lift hills?

I've got a few new ones to add to my list: - Iron Gwazi's death roll (new favorite inversion) - Velocicoaster's mosasaurus roll (new second favorite inversion) - Twisted Timbers' barrel roll downdrop - Pantheon's zero-g stall

Finally got to ride Iron Gwazi and VelociCoaster this week! Iron Gwazi (#196) The prelift section has a dose of speed (and laterals) before engaging the lift. The first drop is easily one of my favorites - in the back, there’s standing ejector air all the way down. Unlike a typical RMC, the...

Tumbili (#194) I didn’t enjoy Batman at Fiesta Texas, but Tumbili was certainly an improvement. It’s more comfortable, well themed (major props to Kings Dominion’s theming team here, Jungle X-pedition is truly impressive and surprisingly detailed!) and can provide a mental ride experience - if...

Finally got around to riding Pantheon on Saturday! Here is a detailed, element-by-element breakdown of the experience (and don't worry, there's a TL;DR included below): The first launch is short but surprisingly punchy. The zero-g winder has a dose of fantastic hangtime, followed by some solid...

As a resident Carolinian for the past 6 years, I'm truly excited for this. Ever since Blue Ridge Junction opened, I've always said that Crossroads was next-in-line for replacement. That grey, concrete-covered dead end, lacking in rides with strange theming (Plants vs Zombies didn't make sense...

Overall Top 5 1st) @HeartlineCoaster - You nailed Gravity Group’s out-of-control, ejector and laterals-filled style right on the head. On top of that, I could totally see Skogrikt existing in real life due to its reasonable scale and compact footprint. 2nd) @Niles - With a layout as long as...

Here's my entry! Using the wooden support generator instead of having to make the supports myself saved a surprising (and significant) amount of time... Name: Ridge Rumbler Model: GCI Wooden Platform: NoLimits 2 Mainly inspired by Thunderhead, Texas Stingray and the finale of Python in...
