This coaster is like something you’d build in one of those really small parks in RCT
My friend: "Infinity War and Endgame are the most ambitious crossovers in history."
As a older coaster enthusiast who still wants to ride coasters but can't always withstand them, this would be my favorite current coaster. I love the non-stop intensity of this ride without all the inversions that I can no longer tolerate. Texas Cyclone was my all-time favorite, but BB is right up there.
I just love the way gravity group did airtime on these older coasters
Boardwalk Bullet packs a heck of a punch. I never expected that much intensity my first time riding it. Definitely my favorite Texas woody.
Fun facts about this coaster
Thanks for doing a review on Boardwalk Bullet! Living 40 minutes away from Kemah Boardwalk, I am glad to call this place my home park. As for the 2 trains, I have only seen them ever only run 1 train but its usually not a problem because the ride is always a walk on when I visit. Thanks again!
I love this coaster so much. For me, it’s easily the best coaster in Texas, and it’s probably top twenty in the country. It’s also the most impressively engineered coaster I’ve ever ridden.
Finally! Someone else who doesn’t sleep on this ride! It’s an absolutely insane coaster, one of my favs in Texas
Great, very-descriptive review! I appreciate the history lessons you tend to include in your reviews, as well! I myself am a native of Texas but still haven't gotten over to the Kemah Boardwalk. I need to soon, as I KEEP hearing great things about this unique coaster.
I just came back from a road trip that took me to Kemah Boardwalk, Galveston Pleasure Pier, and Silver Dollar City. It was 100 degrees in Kemah when I rode Boardwalk Bullet, and it was in Bat Out of Hell mode! I preferred the back to the front, but they were both great! It feels like a combination of Hades (2005) Mt. Olympus with its power and Avalanche (Defunct) at Timber Falls with its ridiculously tight turns and compact layout. Boardwalk Bullet was my favorite coaster of the trip by a smidge.
Boardwalk Bullet is not just one of my favorite woodies, but its actually one of my favorite coasters in general. I rode it all the way back in 2012 as my first wooden coaster, and then in 2020 as my second favorite wooden coaster. During my recent visit this coaster has gotten so much better with ejector airtime on every hill and relentless pacing. Not to mention it is one of the smoothest wooden coasters of all time. I absolutely love this ride and for me, Kemah Boardwalk is miles away but it makes the trip all the way to texas worth it.
Since starting this hobby in 1981, I've ridden intense, top 5 classics like Idora Wildcat, Screechin Eagle, the original Texas and Riverside Cyclones, Rattler & Texas Giant before they were ruined, La Montana Rusa before it was tamed by GCI, Grand National, Timber Wolf (when new), Mr Twister, Ghostrider, Voyage and Coaster in Vancouver. Texas Cyclone and Riverside Cyclone (before 6 Flags ruined them) are by far the 2 best, but Boardwalk Bullet is DAMN close! It's unbelievably intense, yet smooth & re-rideable. I live in Fort Worth, just 4 hours away, I go once a month. 2 weeks ago I got 37 rides before the line was too long. It's severely twisted layout reminds me of the Prior & Church legends I've seen so many photos of. I fear the PTC trains are tearing the track up, you can see the fight they go through to get around those crazy turns. Timberliners would do well here but would likely reduce the intensity. Phoenix is my personal favorite, but the most thrilling roller coaster in operation is Boardwalk Bullet. It's awesome that Switchback & Texas Stingray are just a short Texas drive away!
I love Gravity Group, my 3rd favorite manufacturer behind Intamin and RMC. They create these unique and interesting layouts, and they deliver on the forces and relentless nature. This is probably my # 7 woodie, # 4 GG, and top 25 overall. And my new # 2 in Texas.
I got to ride it for the first time in July. And holy crap, this ride was absolutely insane. Out of all 26 roller coasters I’ve ridden so far, this places at #4, behind Texas Giant at #3, Iron Rattler at #2, and Mr Freeze Reverse Blast at #1.
I am a humongous fan of this ride! Rode it 4x last June and I had a choice between making this or Iron Rattler my 200th credit but I'm so glad I made it this...easily a top 5 wood for me just behind Voyage and Toro.
Former Rides Supervisor at Kemah here(2009-late 2011) The brake run to station time used to be LONGER. They actually removed a mag brake in early 2010 to decrease the time.
Has a drop of 92'; a stat you forgot. But that only makes it more impressive, considering the compact layout. It's not a bucket list coaster like The Voyage, but It looks like a coaster in my dreams; delivering the best it can within a certain space and beautiful location. Although it's more remarkable that PTC trains are used, I'd still prefer Timberliner trains so that each row has it's own car and therefore its own ride experience. Thanks for posting!
We rode this ride last month, it surprised me and my buddies.. it's a must ride..
This is on my rather small bucket list! Best review I’ve seen on this coaster! 👍🏼Any other wooden coasters you know have been completely retracted?
