Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

First time on this about killed my brain, but it has since gotten better and more smooth.

Ethan Finn

Watching the train bang side to side like it doesn’t fit the track as screams of pain echo off the cracked asphalt of my home park is awe inspiring.

Aiden Bauer-Kahan

There may have been an inversion or two that were a bit too sharp, resulting in slight headbanging, but overall, it wasn’t painful.

Max S.

The inversions are quite intense and are on the same level as the smoother B&M inverts.

Max S.

I would add more cons if I could since I have never seen this run more than one train and broke down while I was in line.

Caleb Kwong

Ride ops aren’t great here, largely due to the fact that they usually only run one of the two trains.

What riders say

Criticised for

OverratedRough or rattlyPainful or bruisingHead bangingUncomfortable restraints

While the layout is generally enjoyable, with a lot of moments that have potential for greatness, the insane headbanging and roughness of the ride shows every single time it bottoms out.

Jordan Doose, Captain Coaster review

I really didn’t know what I was going to think about this ride considering my SLC opinions are so wonky, but wow this ride is terrible.

Inverted Thrills, Captain Coaster review

There may have been an inversion or two that were a bit too sharp, resulting in slight headbanging, but overall, it wasn’t painful.

Max S., Captain Coaster review

The fact that someone said, "Never ride this guys!" and "OH This is horrible!" in a pretty official POV shows how BAD this ride is.

Dylan JM, Captain Coaster review

Got really rough in the span of nine months, somehow, and it has some of the most uncomfortable restraints ever.

Josh Ragotskie, Captain Coaster review

I don’t think this ride is as bad as people make it out to be, but it’s still not great, but better than Viper in Magic Mountain which somehow has a higher score than this.

Ben C, Captain Coaster review
