Performance

Vs. other coasters at Lost Island Theme Park

A middle seat was great, but the back seat was awesome where the whip and ejectors were crazy, especially on the first drop.

Coaster Nut

The ride itself is mental in the back row; some of the most violent airtime I’ve ever experienced.

Jacob Narup

This ride in the back row may be the MOST violent ejector I’ve ever experienced.

JJ Vavrik

This coaster has some violent ejector airtime, enjoyable inversions, and unreal pacing.

Canobie Coaster

The twisted airtime hill in the front row is absolutely insane, but that’s the best part of the ride when riding in the front.

@ThousanWhite

i rode this coaster soon after opening and it was buttery smooth.

@BillehBawb

the ride itself is great, but as someone with a lot of length and fat on my legs, it definitely hurts to sit in it.

@TheCoolDudeDrew

The unrelenting forces left me a little dizzy each time.

Coaster Nut

Honestly its so intense its a little frightening.

JJ Vavrik

Holy smokes, this ride is intense!

Along 4 The Ride

That upwards turn makes me gray out haha.

@Brandon-qd2lb

The train absolutely rips through the tight layout.

Coaster Nut

These raptors are always captivating with their unique track style and cartoonishly fast pacing.

I’ve never been a huge RMC single rail fan but the ride ops in this park are so amazing and kind and there was no wait at all so that helps a lot.

Great theming and never a line

Jacob Narup, Captain Coaster review

Seat 12 has absolutely become my favorite RMC Raptor ride, my legs were destroyed by the end of the night from so many rerides.

@CivilianSatellite, review

Firerunner is part of that whole complex, and it fits right into the overall theming.
