Is Steel Vengeance Overrated? (Cedar Point) Sandusky, Ohio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- How dare I even suggest that Steel Vengeance is overrated! Since this roller coaster opened in 2018, it has taken the entire coaster community by storm. The reviews have ranged from amazing to ultra extreme unicorns. Sure, there have been a few naysayers, but we all assume they’re just trolling the coaster nerds on social media, while secretly worshiping the shrine they made to SteVe in their closet.
Well, now that I’ve been riding this roller coaster for 3 years, I thought it would be fun to revisit this glorified attraction and see if it still ranks as high as I originally had it.

The fact that people think this is overrated but they still put this in their top 5 shows how good this ride is.
That's a very good point!
I only have 50 creds, so disclaimer there, but I loved Steve. However between the 4 headliners at the park I dont know if it's the clear winner for me. I loved all 4 for different reasons. I can say that SteVe is maybe technically the best coaster, I just don't know if it's my clear favorite if that makes sense. Maverick has the whip and variety, Millie has the speed and grace, and TTD has that launch.
I must say that I would give the presentation a 10/10 for the following reason: the encapsulated queue. I stood in line for two hours on Saturday, October, 17. The line almost hit the midway when I stood in line to ride SteVe for the first time. As we walked through the structure of the ride, I loved seeing the trains zoom by every few seconds. However, I was in shock and close to tears as I walked out of the structure to see a full 360° view of the magnificent coaster. I never got bored in my two hours other than when we re-entered the structure near the end of the queue. Just because there isn’t much theming, does not mean that the presentation of the ride is anything less than a 10/10. The queue is basically a shrine to itself. I love your videos! Keep up the great work
It is neat walking through the coaster!
Yes, but Lil Phantom is underrated
Lol Steel Vengeance’s name should just be SteVe
That’s insulting to the real SteVe
That's it's unofficial name
@@jcspotter7322 but Steel Venom was built 16 years before it
I just rode SteVe for the first time a month ago in the back row for my first ride ever and I couldn't believe how amazing it was. I got 3 rides on it and every one of them were equally as great. I don't know how this ride could ever be considered "bad" to anybody. The airtime was amazing, the inversions were fun, the ride is long, and it's ridiculously smooth! I don't think any coaster is going to top this ride for me any time soon.
For ride intensity, if you give i305 a 10 and go from there, then theres no way to give Steve a 10 so that makes sense. Its not super intense but that's fine by me
I'm from Spain an last year I finally rode it, It was a dream come true!
I think it is overrated. In my personal experience, I got badly stapled and it ran slower than I expected, resulting in more floater than ejector. It’s still my #4 overall, but lots of people say it’s #1 in the world, and I can’t agree with that given the experiences I’ve had
That really sucks... I have ridden it quite a bit and all of the times I got ample airtime room during peak summer and I went flying on every little hill. I got airtime coming out of the zero g roll on the shallow wave turn and basically every little drop. Hopefully you can get a proper ride on it.
SteVe operates a little sluggish in the morning, but will haul on a hot summer day :)
Makes since, last time I rid it I got a hauling back row ride at night, during power hour (which means it was 10 miles faster) in the back row. And it was much better then one of my other rides the week before so I feel you.
Iron Gwazi: Don’t worry, I might end this coasters whole career....
@@tigerrocks503chase8 Nah. Zadra already beat Iron Gwazi to the punch lol.
Having CP for a homepark, and having grown up with all the other CP coasters for my whole life, I can say I was skeptical when SteVe was announced. I knew the stats would be insane (it's CP, they've gotta break every freakin' record there is) and the layout looked crazy. When CoasterStudios dropped his opening day review, I was kinda like, "Ehh...sounds a bit like first-time jitters." Finally getting around to riding it, I learned never to judge a coaster simply from its stats and layout. SteVe absolutely HAULS throughout the entire layout, the airtime is literally non-stop, it can be disorienting at times, and it's different enough from the other CP coasters to feel unique and like a good fit for the park. I described it as like the real-life version of those ridiculous coasters you would see on cartoon shows. It feels like it fits perfectly into Frontiertown - you almost forget that Mean Streak was even there. And the best part is that there is no bad row on it - even the middle rows are just as powerful as the front and back ones. My only issue with SteVe is that I DON'T think it's the most re-ridable coaster (at least, certainly not at CP) just because of how disorienting it is and how heavy the forces are. In 2019, I tried marathoning it - by the end of the day, I felt DEAD. It is my favorite roller coaster currently out of 145 I've ridden (it dethroned El Toro for my number one), and it's hard to think of what could possibly top it (I did Fury 325 for the first time in 2019, and it was a close call but I think I still like SteVe more).
@Patrick Cadiz RMCs like SteVe don’t really staple you in my experience. They are all relatively new rides and the trains, seats, and restraints are comfortable. It’s a snug fit that you almost want given the crazy airtime and forces. The ride I got on stapled on at Cedar Point was Magnum Xl. Terribly. Which was sad because i had never ridden Magnum before and I was shocked as to how awesome it is other than the uncomfortable trains and restraints.
I'm lucky that CP is my home park and I rode Steel Vengeance on its opening weekend. It's still my favorite coaster and probably will be for a long time.
The Star Wars comparison is the most perfect way to explain that part of the ride.
I was able to ride steel vengeance back in early October for my birthday for the first time. And i was blown away! The massive structure, the way it was running, the atmosphere, etc. It was such an amazing experience! Over two days I was able to get 3 rides: Middle, Back row, and a near back row ride at night! That first back row ride was one of the most amazing experiences I had on a coaster. It knocked down my number 1 (El Toro) and officially became my number 1 coaster. I also agree with every point you made!
I agree with almost all of this! I think intensity should be 1 or 2 spots lower, but besides that, this is perfect!
Agreed 🥃
@THE AVERAGE BEAR Yes, this coaster is very fun, almost everybody enjoys it. And there isn't a huge difference between a couple points in intensity rating, that's true, but if you watch coaster videos regularly, you'd know that we are very nit picky and precise about rankings. 9 intensity is almost perfect while 8 & 7 intensity are great. It's just little things like that, you kinda get used to it lol. And a lot of other people rate this coaster very highly. Like top 3 out of hundreds of coasters they've ridden, highly. Hope this clarified a bit. You stay safe, too!
I think I should do a video solely discussing my rating system :)
My legs were shaking the first time I got off this opening year lol intensity is a 10 for me, but maybe that’s because of the fun, exciting factor too
You have a very valid point about the hype leading to impossible expectations. I still say, this is the only ride I have ever ridden that puts a smile on my face from first drop to final break run. The air time is great, but the disorienting feeling of “what the hell is going on” that begins shortly after the mid course breaks is something I have never felt on any other ride to this day.
Steel Vengeance is one of only two rides to have truly left me SPEECHLESS. It and Avatar Flight of Passage (lol).
It's hard to imagine anything beating it, but...it's bound to happen at some point in my lifetime I figure. That will be a day to look forward to.
It took me 12 years to ride something that beat out El Toro, so hopefully something better will come along sooner :)
@@XscreamThrills Haha I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same thing in this case...
Finally got to ride it this past week and out of pure luck got a back row ride on my very first ride. It was everything that I hoped it would be. Absolutely incredible experience.
Here are some coasters that could possibly get a perfect 10 by your standards:
- I305
- Nemesis
- Zadra / Iron Gwazi
- Eejanaika / Dinoconda
Kärnan
@@limonscore maybe not butter smooth, but besides that, yeah, totally
Not sure if I305 could win a 10 in fun/reridability. It's so intense I could only manage it twice in a day - and I'm sure the GP are less likely to wanna reride it (which is, tbh, the important thing).
@@HangtimeThrills Why not? It has amazing presentation, it's super original, it's extremely intense, it looks very fun, and it's most likely butter smooth. I think it could totally get a 10 on his standards
@@satanskitty5341 Well maybe it's just me, but I love re-riding intense coasters. I rode El Toro 10 times without getting off the train and I felt fine. Plus, that ride is one of the most intense coasters I've ever ridden.
I must ride something with you! I thought I was the only one that laughs like a maniac on coasters 😂
Apparently, I have to dress up like Joker for Halloween because of all the crazy laughing I was doing during the ride :)
Thanks for the review! It exceeded the hype in my eyes when I got my first ride back in July this year. I expected it to be my favorite coaster and it somehow ended up better than I could have imagined. The only ride that I think could potentially take it over as my favorite is the VelociCoaster at Universal Islands of Adventure. Almost looks like Maverick on steroids.
I tottaly desagree about people not ridding Steel Vengeance also for the inversions. The stall is one of the best elements on it, and the rolls inside the structure are visually insane.
Airtime is the rides number 1 function though. The inversions are bonuses, and yes they are all great inversions :)
@@XscreamThrills Sure thing!
I need to ride this ride so I can’t say it is over rated
Not overrated at all. My number 1 out of 154. My expections going in was for a new #1 and it actually surpassed that. I had a similar reaction to coaster studios after most of my nine rides. I looked like a had just seen a ghost and basically couldn't talk.
No. It's not overrated... No bias of course 😉
I agree with the adjustments you made to presentation and intensity for sure!!!
saying mille was intense made me so happy, and i agree there is no coasters anywhere near perfect, in fact i think every coaster has so much more to improve with, but no coasters are near perfect so a perfect coaster is just one that the pros outweigh the cons for u personally. i think SteVe could rly improve with the airtime strength, positives, whip, laterals, pacing, amount of main elements the list goes on forever, there is always infinite things to improve on with every coaster.
Based on my one experience riding it, I think it’s a pretty solid ride but it’s not my favorite rollercoaster. I really like the second half of this coaster.
I can see why people say it’s their favorite though.
I've ridden it in the back on a summer day and it exceeded my high expectations. I still think it's a bit overrated, for me it just felt to repetitive in my personal opinion. I'd still put it in my future top 5 but I don't think it's #1
I agree with that I have it at my number 4
Steel Vengeance is definitely not overrated but honestly Iron Gwazi is
Yes. It is. Gimme a B&M hyper/giga any day.
This coaster is at the top of my bucket list! The drop looks insane and it looks like a good time overall. For me if you come off of a ride smiling, then you know its a good coaster
You can only get so many death threats and lose so many friends over not having this as your new all-time favorite forever and ever amen. I think it’s ludicrously overrated. I don’t rank but I can assure you guys it wouldn’t be Top 25 for me even if I did.
I don’t think SteVe is overrated. And also the reason that it can still be the worlds best is because it’s probably the most well rounded coaster ever built a d what it does is out of this world.
You can see the structure shake when it’s going through the zero g stall
I love watching the coaster bend and sway as the ride flies through the course!
Have you ever watched Medusa Steel Coaster’s off ride POVs? Specially the twisted drop. It’s almost scary
Out of the 3 Rmcs Ive ridden Lightning Rod Steel Vengeance and Storm Chaser. In my personal opinion I prefer Storm Chaser and Lightning Rod over Steel vengeance. With Cedar point being my home park ive ridden steel vengeance well over 50 times. I have ridden in pretty much all the seats and personality I dont feel the airtime is as consistent as Lightning Rod or Storm chaser. Maybe its just because its my home park but im heading to Kentucky kingdom next year so ill see if I change my mind.
Those three are all fantastic. I have them in my personal top five. I think Storm Chaser is a phenomenal coaster, especially for its size. And Lightning Rod is probably the most relentless coaster I've ever ridden. That said, I still slightly prefer Steel Vengeance and I think it comes down to the giant outer banked turn and the totally disorienting second half. Every time I get off Steel Vengeance my heart is pounding like I just finished a sprint.
@@zacg_ the outer bank is my favorite element on steel vengeance
I enjoy all three of those RMC's, but I would put Steel Vengeance above Storm Chaser. Its hard to compare SteVe against Lightning Rod because they function very differently.
@@XscreamThrills we will have to see what happens when Lightning Rod re opens
I need to ride SV. I haven't back to the Point since 2008.
Sounds like you need to schedule a trip!
I know this is an old meme but sometimes when I hear Steel Vengeance, I think back to the hot sauce.
While I like Steel Vengence I can honestly say i wasn't just blown away by it. Fun, but i like others better.
I don't think Velocicoaster is in the class of the top RMC's to be honest. First half doesn't look world class at all in my opinion, and the second half looks world class, but I would have it well below the top RMC's overall. I am not sure the layout will be better than a Maverick or Pantheon. I do agree with you that Iron Gwazi should be a notch below Steel Vengeance. For me I think Hakugei and Zadra are the closest coasters to Lightning Rod and Steel Vengeance which are my current top 2.
I think it'll come down to preference.
I was a GP when I rode Steel Vengeance and honestly, I nearly forgot what the experience was even like. All I remember was my knuckles kept on banging on my brother's and it was dark (because it was a night ride). Then I became an enthusiast and heard about the hype surrounding the coaster and didn't understand it at all. I was so confused because everyone was like "Steel Vengeance is the best coaster in the world!" and I was just like "meh, whatever" about it. I probably just have to get back to CP and reride it along with riding Raptor and Maverick for the first time and Magnum in the magic seat.
That's an interesting story. 🤔 Is nice to hear someone with distant tastes 👍
Great review! I disagree with you on Voyage though lol...I rode it in July this year when it was about 95 degrees and thats the only coaster today that has given me the emotions I had when I came off SteVe for the first time ever. I think Voyage is my #2 and Steel is my number 1. Its not more intense than Maverick at all...but the fun factor on Steel is amazing! For me its my GOAT . The only ride I felt was super overrated that I finally got a chance to ride this year was Storm Chaser..people said it was #1 or top 5 or top 10!...SMH its not even #1 in the park to me! LOL but its still a cool ride..just not mind blowing!
I agree with intensity, it may have some awesome airtime but it is not a ride meant for positives.
Nice vid man! Sometimes it's good to stick to your guns! I personally don't think SteVe is overrated. Sometimes a coaster is THAT good. I'll make sure to keep my expectations in check when I finally get a chance to ride it. You got a new sub man, keep it up!
Not to undersell my score, because Steel Vengeance is still in my top 5 for sure! Thanks for the support! :)
I'll tell u what if u get back seat after its had the whole day to heat up. You will change it right back to a 10 for intense
glad to hear im not the only one with a joker laugh on coasters
steel vengeance is my third favourite coaster, but Its the one id most like to marathon for hours because its just pure fun
Facts... It's my second but I'd agree probably
The hype leading to a slight disappointment happened to me with Fury. It wasn't riding very well when I was there, but I also wasn't that impressed with the layout. I can see the hype causing disappointment with SV, which is why I like that you're honest about what it does and doesn't do. I like that it doesn't have the intensity level of something like Skyrush or i305. SV is at that perfect sweet spot. I also think that the disgusting, money-grabbing locker policy and the huge lines this can draw can take away from the enjoyment of the ride for some people. I still have it ranked somewhere in my top 3, but of course, Lil' Phantom is # 1.
I new this ride was real when I saw those test runs that’s when I really knew this was a top 3 coaster and I’ve never seen people react to a coaster like this one but when I rode it I was truly stunned and didn’t know what to even say it’s just such a joy to ride Millennium had always been my number one but after so many years there’s a new sheriff in town at cedar point.
Dude I really like this ride, don’t think it’s a ride for everyone though. It has all the things I like in a coaster so it’s easily my #1, some people just hate it because it’s popular. Other people just aren’t the biggest fan of the ride.
Great video. Thanks for the update video.
For me as long as the AMUSEMENT park isn’t a dump presentation is a wash. It’s all about the actual time on the ride and steel vengeance is my #1 Hybrid without question. #1 wood is voyage or mystic timbers #1 steel Fury 325
Given the amount of hype surrounding Steel Vengeance, it’s difficult to not call it overrated. I agree with most of your scores. On intensity, I would probably give it a 7.5, when I think of an extremely intense ride, a 10-Skyrush or the original Riverside Cyclone, for example-I don’t think S.V. Is remotely close to that. It’s a hell of a lot of fun, though. Because of lower capacity and somewhat questionable operations, however, the wait for it can be a slog.
Having ridden those two coaster to which you compared SV, I'm not sure I fully agree that SV is much less intense. I think part of what makes SV so intense is it's so long. It's really a marathon of a ride. Riverside Cyclone had a few moments of high intensity, whether in the form of sharp pops of air or some strong laterals. The majority paced very slow though. Skyrush is also very intense, but last like half the time of SV.
I also slammed into the sides of the train on SV many times over the course of the ride from the sudden laterals like on the "stall," hill before the MCBR, and one random hill with a hidden slight curve in the last 1/3 of the ride. I think it definitely doesn't have the positives like I305, maybe the airtime isn't quite as strong and the pacing not quite as fast as Skyrush, but it achieves its intensity in other ways then sustains it for so long.
@@DanielCollinsBachata I was surprised by the relatively mild first drop on S.V. It certainly gets the train up to speed, but it’s not one of the best first drops I’ve felt. S.V. Is great up through the drop after the midcourse brake, and then I think it gets repetitive. Although it may have the most airtime of any coaster, I would describe the air as more floater than ejector. Skyrush’s air is strong ejector.
Not in my opinion. Overrated is a buzzword really
I dont think its overrated at all, for how much i love steve, i could say its underrated
I do not agree nor disagree but really it's about personal preference. Personally I prefer more intense coasters like Top Thrill Dragster and I305 because I like air time but positive G forces are better in my opinion. So it really depends which type of rides you like, long air time machines, positive G Force in short periods, inversions or speed.
So I don't think it's overrated not underrated, all about preference
I'm not a huge fan of positive G's, but I do love Top Thrill Dragster :)
@@XscreamThrills yes
Simple answer, YES
I think that it's right on the line between overrated and underrated. It really is one of the #1 coasters yet to be rideable. But showering praise and overrhyping certain qualities can really get people's expectations too high. I think Coaster Studio's first ride reaction is an example of overhyping. But if you look at this video. You don't overhype it. You give real reasons why it's the best.
I agree with that. The ride is great and one of the most re-rideable coasters at Cedar Point. :)
It really depends on if you've ridden it or not.
For those of us that have, we all know how fantastic this ride is, and a back seat ride is legendary.
For those enthusiasts who haven't made it to cedar point recently, there's no way this coaster can live up to the unrealistic expectations the coaster community has laid on it.
It's a fantastic ride, buts it's not perfect.
Edit. I really should have finished your video before commenting as you pretty much closed this video out with my comment
Great minds think alike :)
I rode it opening weekend before any real hype had been let loose and I still found it overrated. It has so much airtime that it stops being fun and feels more like a repetitive lurch forward.
@@WapoStudios that's unfortunate. I wish everyone was able to have as much fun on it as I do.
I don't care.... This ride changed my life.
I managed to ride it three times in an hour on my second trip to CP this year. Sadly it was closed during my first trip 🙄
Same, my first visit this year SteVe was closed :(
@@XscreamThrills and Steel Curtain was closed. Not that it matches up to Steel Vengeance but man I know people were pissed that it wasn’t running a lot this summer.
I've only ridden it twice while I've ridden the coasters I rank above it at least 10 times (so not necessarily a fair comparison) but Steel Vengence is not my #1. Seeing people that more than doubble my credit count ranking it as their #1 makes me say "yes it is definately overrated". Currently, my #1 is a small gravity group coaster in Florida that I think will still be the best coaster in Florida come 2022. That said it was only a few weeks old when I rode it and I've heard it's gotten rough since so my opinion may change when I ride it again in a few years (after COVID is over I will be going down for Iron Gwazi and I won't skip riding my #1 coaster again nearby when I do). That said I heard similar statements about roughness from people who picked up the credit within a month of when I did (notably, Coaster Studios) who I think confused roughness and intensity.
Very surprised to hear what your number one is, but we all have our own tastes!
@@XscreamThrills Admitedly, some of it comes from personal teen-parent drama being that my dad had given me permission to go to Seaworld the day before we went to Universal and I debated whether or not it was worth going down to Fun Spot Kissime after I had all the credits from Seaworld with more than 10 rides on Mako and Manta, so I could definitively have an opinion on which new for 2017 woodie I preferred. He said no, and I disobeyed and was amazed by the incredible intensity, airtime, and hangtime on Mine Blower and was so glad I disobeyed. I try to look past that but it's possible it embelishes the experience. And it was the first time I disobeyed my parents after having been mocked for being a goody-2-shoes for years. So, I mean, I do have that personal bias factor of how it ended the mockery I got for being a goodie-2-shoes in school, which was a huge deal to me.
This is easily the most overrated coasters ever, it is my number 12 ranked and I’ve only ridden 152 coasters lmfaoooo
I'm wondering what you hold in such high regard that it comes up that short? Intensity? Launches? Outright speed? Straight track? janky inversions? What 12 are better?

WCR never had a chance of beating SV
@@XscreamThrills I think by bringing up WCR they simply mean eventually Iron Gwazi will open... and when it does... it might end Steel Vengeance's career. On a side not SV denied me today. Sat in the Chess train and the ride op instructed us to go back to the loading platform. Soon maintenance arrived. Shortly after that they took the portable power supply to the brake run to E-vac the guest stuck on the brake run. Gave all of them a skip the line pass, I guess for there discomfort of locked in the train, all I got was the frustration of being so close.
Nope it's adequately rated
It ain't nothing compared to little phantom
No, Steel Vengence definitely isn't overrated. It deserves all the praise and glory possible.
ngl i havent ridden it but it looks hella overated
SV and Fury are tied for my #1
Reliability: 1
I realize my experience wasn't typical, but I didn't get to ride it during my (probably) once in a lifetime trip to the park. No other categories. Sorry.
Wow that's really disappointing 😥
RMC is overrated
Definitely😂
GP2E agrees
You better be glad you don't have a southern accent. If you said "funnest" with my accent, you'd be getting hammered right now.
i honestly wonder what you think about valravn station, i mean... steel vegeances is trash but its the same of mean streak so i can kind of excuse it valravn was built from scratch and is honestly the worst thing i've ever seen for a station, cedar point has great rides but everything else about it is just ignored
Valravn is a very basic station, but it seems to work with the ride. Also, take a look at the area the attraction is placed. Frontier Town is the most themed section of the park, even Maverick has a station that works with the area. SteVe is just a few posts and a roof...
It's kind of overrated but not really
This is not overrated in my opinion

I love this ride
Best ride I've ridden by far. Not overrated at all. Millennium Force on the other hand....
Millennium Force has its dedicated fans :)
Yes and no pretty much
Idk man after I rode it it was in my dreams 🤣
You’re nuts re Voyage. Hype and all it still blows most of the wood and hybrids away (excluding El Toro). S. Vengeance slightly overrated only bc those massive trains feel so clunky, making the trains feel heavy too. The inversions do nothing for me - they feel clunky and unnecessarily overly forceful.
I would rather ride Legend over Voyage :)
@@XscreamThrills Nuts 🥜
Sorry Steel Vengeance fanboys but Steel Vengeance is indeed overrated🥺🤷🏾♂️
I think this ride is overrated.... after I watched taylor’s review.. my expectations for this ride sky rocketed.... and left me underwhelmed after my first ride.... and even after a back row night ride... it’s currently my number 10 in my top 10... stats doesn’t mean it’s a good ride.
I felt the same after seeing his review, however my first ride was amazing :) It was the rides from last year and this that started to temper my enthusiasm somewhat.
Fun factor is 11
I actually might agree with that :)
Each time I ride Steel Vengeance I like it less. It was my #1 when it opened but now it’s around #20-25. It has a lot of airtime but most of it is just cheap pops over bunny hills. I’ll take 2-3 great moments of sustained air over 25 split-second pops any day.
So what are 10 coasters you have over Steel V?
Just in terms of steel coasters, I have 16 ranked above it: Millennium Force, Montu, Kumba, Raging Bull, X2, Iron Rattler, Storm Runner, Banshee, Top Thrill Dragster, Storm Chaser, Diamondback, Lightning Run, Magnum XL-200, Maverick, Orion, and Skyrush.
I find all of these to be much more enjoyable in terms of offering variety, intensity, or both.
@@WapoStudios hmmmm interesting choices....I respectfully disagree lol but everybody has different taste which makes these convos cool..Salute 😎👌
But what about the first two airtime hills that deliver a few seconds of sustained airtime? Also, the smaller weird outer banked before diving under the first drop has some good sustained airtime.
@@XscreamThrills Those are fine. I found the outer-banked turn a bit overrated to be honest. Given that it has been running really slow lately that first big hill is just okay floater now. I just feel like it mostly consists of mild ejector that doesn't last that long and isn't particularly exciting. Even the floater on B&M hypers is more entertaining IMO.
I saw the title and went like well duh it is overrated.
The answer to this question really depends on what you take to be the overall consensus opinion about Steel Vengeance. I'd say it isn't overrated because I think the general opinion is that it is amazing and arguably the best coaster on earth. There are people who think it is exponentially better than any other coaster and I'd say those people overrate the ride but I think they are outliers.
I think it's the best coaster in North America (as I can't speak about any other continent) but I wouldn't call it perfect. But being the best coaster in North America is extremely high praise. To me, the biggest problem is that the queue is pretty boring. It's certainly not the most boring queue out there and it's one of the better queues in the park. But this is why I personally prefer theme parks over amusement parks. All else being equal, I'd rather have a fun immersive queue line than one that just has you walking around waiting your turn. That's especially true for rides that make you wait 2 hours in the standby line. Does that make the coaster bad? Of course not. But it is a flaw that deserves to be mentioned.
Very good insight! Glad to see someone agrees with me on presentation :)
Yes
The ops on this ride is its only negative. Always slow dispatches
I never had an issue with slow ops, they're not as fast as I'd prefer, but wouldn't call it slow
It's my time to shine. 😈
SV kills it
