I was skeptical about the people, but I think they added a lot to the experience. Especially since you can see them on the bridge inside the volcano when you fly by.
The ride itself was smooth, great transitions, the shaping was spot-on Intamin SLC, it felt a bit short, even for that type of ride, but I understand you had some additional constraints.
Theming was fantastic and well thought out, the siren was a nice touch.
annuit coeptis. Interesting addition. Curious why it would be added to such a nice roller coaster...........................................
So... I've been playing No-Limits for about 17 years, I had one in the top 10 on coastersims.com back in the day, when I used to build. During all that time things get boring, but then I ride this... I'm sure it must've been a pain to program, but it's without a doubt, one of the most impressive rides I've seen in years. Great job!
Ok, this was really cool. That 50mph outward facing free-fall with the switch track. The one-way station build. I've never seen anything like that. You get a 10 just for originality. Good job.
I didn't want to let this go unrated. Your pacing was great, layout was great, I loved that wide turnaround element, supports were very realistic, length was good. Overall great ride, good job :-)
I loved this ride. The shaping, the layout, the pacing, it was all very inspired, very true to traditional Intamin form (Storm Runner / Maverick). Downside: There was some red-zone negative G forces on the top hat in the front row, nothing completely outside the realm of possibility, but red none the less. Your laterals, specifically on the first quick transition were yellow, border-lining red. That aside, your supports and track shaping were great. Overall very impressive.
I loved the layout! Very true to GG style. The double up / double down was really fun. The first inversion through the station as really fun, well placed, well paced and just felt natural. The tunnel and the second inversion seemed a little forced. The tunnel seemed really long for this type of ride, in this type of park. Tunnels tend to be very expensive and for a park that has no real theme, and xpress's simplicity, it seems a bit out of place. Lastly the large round beam support structure for the last inversion was a bit odd (it would have hit the brake fins of the train but I'm not deducting for that) and seemed out of place for a GG. Other than that, great ride. Very impressive.
Great job! This ride was amazing! I rarely rate coasters but this one is worth writing about. Trains looked awesome, scenery was great, thematic elements were really fun ( I loved the doc brown time-travel train). Great interaction with scenery and terrain, great pacing, solid layout. I really liked the double inverted top hat / augmented sea-serpent roll type thing. Really a lot of fun. I'd like to see more rides on this site like this.
I almost had to give the ride a 9 for the scenery alone. The queue was beautiful, the park was beautiful, the track and supports seemed to have a sort of glow to them that looked really cool. The ride overall wasn't perfect, the were some small pumps in the transitions, forces got a bit heavy at times around the top hats, but it was well supported and well paced. Overall very impressive.
