Ok ok, jeez...
Ladies and gentlemen, due to popular demand, and when I say popular I mean Delly P, I hereby remove 'The Beast in daylight' from my KI rankings because, as Tom has so eloquently pointed out, I've not ridden The Beast in Daylight and therefore cannot pass judgment.

The things I do for you @DelPiero ;)
Thanks snookums ❤

1: Mystic Timbers
2: Banshee
3: Beast (total shocker I didn't expect to like it at all)
4: Diamondback (also bit of a shocker, "one of, if not, the best B&M hypers was pretty meh)

These I wont rank they were all solid to good but not special:
Adventure Express, Backlot, Bat, Invertigo, Firehawk

The crap:
Racer. Wanted to like but nope.
Vortex. Classic I know, great photos yes. Sorry it was painful, slow, felt all those awkward ass transitions
Flight of Fear. WOW. The one at KD is fine, not great but fine, but this was so rough I had a pounding headache and took some advil and laid on a beach chair for an hour! How can a ride without OTSRs give me such head pain??

Wont lie, its actually not a great lineup.

1. Mystic Timbers - Excellent GCI woodie. Smooth yet aggressive, great airtime, great pace.
2. Diamondback - Great airtime, but some rattly spots in the valleys.
3. Beast at night - Lots of fun, but just not as magical as I once thought.

Lineup goes way downhill after that.

4. Banshee - Worst B&M invert, very rattly, but still some solid moments.
5. Firehawk - Honestly yeah. It wasn't the most comfortable but the layout is decent and had some intense moments.
6. Bat - I mean, I guess so. Fun turns, good speed. That's about it.
7. Beast at day - Honestly pretty bad in the back but I'd still rather ride it over the rest of the stuff.
8. Backlot Stunt Coaster - Good launch and helix. Rest is forgettable.
9. Racer - It's decent in the front. It has some alright airtime and the racing aspect is "fun."
10. Adventure Express - Bumpy ride but enjoyable nonetheless.
11. Woodstock Express - Cute ride with some fun drops.
12. Flying Ace Aerial Chase - Pretty boring but whatever.
13. Flight of Fear - Has a good launch, but the rest rode terribly.
14. Invertigo - Awful boomerang.
15. Vortex - Absolute ass all the way around.

Yeah, that's not looking good.
