What riders love
  • The first drop THREW ME.
  • the drop gives some shockingly good ejector.
  • The drop, wow the drop on this, and all the forced it throws at you after, intense fast paced ride.
  • Everything is good about this ride, not one dull moment!
  • then the whippy s bend has good laterals aswell as just being a fun transition.
  • Overall the ride has nice and fun elements and is just a very enjoyable ride.
  • The best part is probably the inclined loop, which has sustained Gs throughout the inversion.
  • Cutback and non-inverting loop are pretty intense.
  • Nice drop, fun beginning and the final 2 inversions are really intense.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Darien Lake

the following twisted drop has some good float to it and some weak laterals, atleast on the rigjt side.

Liight .

First drop has phenomenal negatives g’s and is honestly one of my all-time favorite drops.

3kRaay

The first drop it has feels absolutely amazing being beyond vertical that provides a great ejector and has some fun elements and twists but it has some awful capacity and it is probably the shortest...

Christian K.

First drop and hill give decent ejector.

Coaster Great

While the airtime is not particularly the strongest, it is still quite good.

Coaster Adventures

The first drop THREW ME.

Danielle Pluzsik

The restraints are comfy, and the ride is butter smooth.

Eric Esty

Another aspect about Tantrum that makes it a fun ride and a great Euro Fighter is just how smooth it is.

Coaster Adventures

It gave my head such pressure and discomfort for only a 25 second ride.

Adam Tortorello

I would just say it was a little jerky and I was kind of out of it.

Coaster America

The drop feels intense and forceful and the momentum continues throughout the ride with no noticeable slow down in pacing.

Austin L.

The drop, wow the drop on this, and all the forced it throws at you after, intense fast paced ride.

Thomas Stabler

The first drop is crazy and after that it’s really intense and fun but the ride time is too short and the trains are tiny and so that means long queues, especially because SFDL has a grudge against...

Nice drop, fun beginning and the final 2 inversions are really intense.

Carter Eckhart

Drop, Layout, Intensity, Inversions, which for other roller coasters could be an airtime category.

Coaster America

This is one intense coaster, Might look small but it is now the best at the park hands down!!!!

@tomd1338

Also the one train operations leads to the line taking way longer than it should.

Alex MeaLynk

...really intense and fun but the ride time is too short and the trains are tiny and so that means long queues, especially because SFDL has a grudge against having more than one train on the tracks...

3kRaay, Captain Coaster review

The drop was the best part of the ride, after that it’s fun but is over too quickly.

Alex MeaLynk, Captain Coaster review

I knew it was going to be short, but considering my expectation was comparable to a short version of Impulse at Knoebels, I was somewhat disappointed.

Bubble Gaming, Captain Coaster review

Nice drop, fun beginning and the final 2 inversions are really intense.

The first drop it has feels absolutely amazing being beyond vertical that provides a great ejector and has some fun elements and twists but it has some awful capacity and it is probably the shortest higher thrill coaster I have ever ridden.
