What riders love
  • The inversions all provided solid force, the pacing was nice and there was even some random airtime thrown in.
  • First of all, I gotta admit the zero-g roll is pretty good. It's very solid and the amount of G forces is great.
  • It's a fun, smooth ride with some good inversions and tilts.
  • graceful inverts are great though and this is like the most graceful it gets.
  • This ride manages to be graceful while still pulling a lot of Gs.
  • It’s super smooth and has my favorite color scheme on any coaster.
  • Overall its a great ride. Just fun.
  • I often sit on the far left side of the train, so I can see Downtown Kansas City.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Worlds of Fun

Patriot also was superior to other similar coasters like Silver Bullet because Patriot seemed way faster with more airtime and smoother.

Monsoon

It’s paced pretty well, and the transitions are very well done; I especially loved the airtimes you get, especially that drop right after the zero-G roll.

Evangelion Martini

There’s even an airtime pop thrown in there, which is super rare for this model.

Tobin Billings

This is the only inverted coaster I have been on that has airtime!

@knexpert_of_kansas8127

It comfortable enough and the layout is decent but not super memorable or fun either for me.

Glass Cannonn

It’s smooth, looks good, and has some nice elements and decent inversions.

Theme Park James

It’s super smooth and has my favorite color scheme on any coaster.

Jack Jack J.

But this thing is so smooth and the inversions are wonderful.

coasterflats

High positive gs on inverted coasters hurt my legs and make me feel dizzy..

Derek Stearns

It was well sustained intensity throughout the whole ride and the final corkscrew and helix were super intense with some great whip.

Jack Jack J.

This ride manages to be graceful while still pulling a lot of Gs.

Tobin Billings

Not a bad ride in the slightest and I enjoy it, but it just has very little to no intensity for a ride this tall and fast.

BMIA

This is the least intense B&M invert I have ridden, but don’t let that turn you away from this great coaster.

Aaron Yockey

It seems far slower than the stats suggest it is.

Brian Sheldon

So many dead spots and lack of forces.

Ben

You would think because of the model the line would move but it doesn’t

It’s smooth, looks good, and has some nice elements and decent inversions.

Theme Park James, published review

I do enjoy the finale but it’s also a bit short compared to others I have done.

Chris Jones, Captain Coaster review

This is the least intense B&M invert I have ridden, but don’t let that turn you away from this great coaster.
