What riders love
  • The launches are powerful and are most of the thrill.
  • The launch is great, and you feel the punch.
  • It is a bit derivative but the launch is very forceful and the ride is overall fun.
  • It is like a giant swinging ship!
  • I’m a little biased because launch coasters are my fave (hence the maybe extra half star I’m giving this), but man this is a fun little ride.
  • It's just a nice, underrated impulse coaster that really does not deserve the hate.
  • The launch is good, and the spikes provide great weightlessness, especially the back spike.
  • The way you’re straight down for a few seconds is a fun experience.
  • A punchy swing launch leading into two awesome vertical spikes sporting some frightening height and floaty airtime.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Dorney Park

The airtime on both spikes is really fun, the launch was surprisingly punchy, and the positives going into the backwards spike always catch me off guard.

Ryan Armstrong

It might just be a launch and two spikes, but it’s smooth, intense, and has good airtime going down the spikes.

angela

A punchy swing launch leading into two awesome vertical spikes sporting some frightening height and floaty airtime.

Anthony DeNight Jr.

...fun with some solid intense launches that weren’t as good as on wicked twister but still not bad and the straight backwards spike was a lot better than I expected with some amazing sustained floater.

Cooper Zimmerman

It’s not particularly intense, there isn’t any airtime, all-in-all it’s just weird.

MapleFlakes

Really good and comfortable coaster though.

anonymous Outcast

Unfortunately the seat mold is really uncomfortable and the metal from the thing the seat belt buckles into hurts your arm that’s forced to rest against it.

Carter Eckhart

The spikes are decent and give you some pretty good hang time at some points Overall there is a decent amount of headbanging but the intensity of the ride make up for it.

Isaiah White

The launches forwards and backwards are quite intense and a front row seat is a must on this ride in order to reach the very top of the twisted spike.

Clayton Latone

Obviously I wish it was maybe 1 launch longer, but you get a nice ride in the front or the back and I love the intensity.

Sara Alexander

The launches are fun and decently forceful and going into the spikes you pull some good G’s.

Carter Eckhart

Possessed is a lot of fun with some solid intense launches that weren’t as good as on wicked twister but still not bad and the straight backwards spike was a lot better than I expected with some...

Cooper Zimmerman

The speed was insane and it was super intense.

roller rider

The ride is too short, has poor capacity (although it still didn’t have very long waits admittedly), and barely feels like a rollercoaster, but for what it is I did enjoy it.

Ryan Armstrong
Motion sickness risk

My middle brother who went with me got dizzy afterwards, though.

Danielle Pluzsik

Definitely better than a pirate ship, those make me nauseous and this want able to.

What riders say

Praised for

Great launchFunHangtime

Criticised for

Too short

The launches forwards and backwards are quite intense and a front row seat is a must on this ride in order to reach the very top of the twisted spike.

Clayton Latone, Captain Coaster review

Decent launches forward and backwards, and looking straight up/down can be a brief highlight depending on your seat.

The Real E-Rock, Captain Coaster review

The launch is good, and the spikes provide great weightlessness, especially the back spike.

Alexander Marko, Captain Coaster review

It is a bit derivative but the launch is very forceful and the ride is overall fun.

Brendan Keller, Captain Coaster review

But generally, this felt like a worse drop tower and not a coaster.

Em McMahon, Captain Coaster review

The launches are quite fun and the twisted spike is very cool near the front, but I just don’t really understand why this model exists.

MapleFlakes, Captain Coaster review
