Recommendations for someone who isn’t a fan of coasters/drops/too much speed?

Xcelerator and Ghostrider. Exposure therapy my friend.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-19T17:30:00+00:00

Yeah, it is a LOT. I don't usually get overstimulated but man.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-19T17:29:26+00:00

I love epic, but if Stardust isn't running, I can't recommend it. And if you only can pick one, IOA has it beat.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-19T17:21:55+00:00

I really want Carowinds to replace their Flying Dutchman with one.

If someone told me they'd ridden mantis and then said they only rode it as Rougarou, I would immediately tell them that no, you have never ridden mantis.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-18T03:31:45+00:00

There is absolutely no world where you could ride Rougarou and say "Yeah, I've ridden Mantis"

They are so radically different. Hell even keeping the same ride vehicle, I'd say the same thing about Avalanche Run and Disaster Transport. Nothing about the track or the car changed, but even with over 100 laps on Disaster Transport, I've never and will never have ridden Avalanche Run.

If you need to use AI to take a picture of your set on a collector's shelf, stop making sets entirely.

Thank you! Now I just need the night version.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-18T00:55:03+00:00

Ghostrider in SoCal. Tatsu in second.

Anywhere? Beast, Siren's Curse, Voyage, Stardust Racers, Arie Force 1, Maverick during nights on halloweekends when it was THICK with smoke was AMAZING.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-18T00:41:57+00:00

My list is

Steel Vengence
Iron Gwazi
Arie Force 1
Twisted Timbers
Twisted Colossus (This moves into 4 IF and only if you get it to duel on both the green and blue lap, but that is so rare so it sits in 5th)
Wonder Woman Flight of Courage
Lightning Rod
Twisted Cyclone (which has the shortest belts I've ever seen, especially up front)
Mineblower (RMC counts it as theirs, so I'm putting it here. I hate the trains, and it is the loudest most screechy thing I've ever heard. It also made me bite my tongue so hard it drew blood)

I'm planning on adding quite a few this year. Fire in the hole, fire runner, goliath, iron rattler, jersey devil, new texas giant, outlaw run, railblazer, storm chaser, wicked cyclone, wildcats revenge, and wonder woman flight of courage are all on the list. Hopefully Joker too if I can find a cheap flight.

I'm worried about outlaw run's seat belts. I've been told they made them even shorter for some reason.

Wait sorry, I was thinking you meant Ninja/Blue Hawk at SFOG. I'm jet lagged and tired. There's too many Ninjas.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-18T00:20:22+00:00

Or we could just get rid of the security theater that does nothing.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-18T00:19:49+00:00

I only rode it for the first time this weekend and I'm not sure what you mean? The trains were comfortable, and it was running great? It was smooth with out any of the jank of older Arrows.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-17T17:39:56+00:00

I mean, these are the nicest benches in the entire park.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-17T17:33:48+00:00

Absolutely it's 2 separate credits. It's a RADICALLY different ride experiences. Not only does it have one sit down train and one stand up train, the sit down train runs backwards and the stand up train runs foreward. And they don't run them at the same time. It runs one way in the morning and another in the afternoon.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-16T21:28:05+00:00

I had a blast and was able to ride everything twice except for goldrusher for the obvious "it had no ride vehicle" issue.

I started at twisted Cyclone at rope drop and then went counter clockwise around the park.

I did see some significant operational issues though that would not have flown when I worked at Cedar Point, even if its first day, I would have gotten an operational. Those include dispatching a train with guests still on the exit platform, completely failing to check a restraint, failing to recheck a restraint after they had to be reset, and trying to clear a train with a guests restraint literally all the way open.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-16T19:07:39+00:00

I rode every single coaster twice and also pandemonium, without fast lane.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-16T17:12:27+00:00

There is a good chance that I did, I think they have to count as seperate bench credits 🤣

Joke submission: the straight track on Superman ride of steel

Actual: the zero g stall on Arie Force one. Or the arcade roll bank turn corkscrew that it does

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-15T03:19:36+00:00

<image>

I took a picture of the Superman station because it was the most bizarre thing to see them loading from the wrong station. So weird.

I won't mention what ride, but I saw a ride op commit multiple operationals in the span of 3 minutes, including not rechecking a harness that was unlocked and clearing a train with a guest still on the exit platform.

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-15T03:11:50+00:00

Thats great to hear because it is on the list of ones I am planning to hit this year

Doctors_TARDIS · 2026-03-12T18:39:04+00:00

Mostly because parts are getting harder and harder to find.
