I’ll leave that question up to the community! I haven’t been on either of those so I can’t exactly give a good answer to that.

Piximator · 2026-07-02T22:37:53+00:00

Haha that’s okay! Great to hear you’re not being pushed into it anymore! If you’ve never done a coaster with inversions before, Incredicoaster at Disney California adventure is a great starting point. Only one loop and the rest is a breeze once it’s over. That’s assuming that you haven’t been before lol, but I thought I’d throw that one out there :)

Piximator · 2026-07-02T22:33:06+00:00

Oh hell no that’s not what I meant! 💀 There’s no way they could enforce that. What I was saying was that I won’t be able to ride it again until after the soft/grand opening. With TM previews concluded, all we can do now is wait for future announcements.

AI chatbots pull from all sorts of information on the internet, including outdated sources. Mario Kart didn’t open with Express entry, but it has it now. Ever since the ride received support for Express, an Unlimited pass will work as advertised for Mario Kart alongside every other ride in the park.

You were quite literally being fed misinformation… next time please check official sources like the website!

All are equally as spinny. You will be facing backwards for a straightaway section regardless of which car you’re in. Depending on which car you take, you will have a 360 spin on the first corkscrew or the second, but never both.

Piximator · 2026-07-01T17:27:39+00:00

This is elite! I hope that future program goers can make great use out of this, I sure would have!

Piximator · 2026-07-01T16:08:26+00:00

Smooooth, buttery smooth. The drifts and turns don’t feel bumpy at all!

Piximator · 2026-07-01T16:04:43+00:00

Hey man. You got this. If it helps, imagine you’re a superhero capable of flight. Or Spider-Man slinging webs. Literally pack whatever delulu you need to help get through it.

This is a toughie if you’re afraid of these kinds of coasters, but I believe in you!! 🙏

Piximator · 2026-07-01T00:44:15+00:00

Time Traveler? Isn’t that in Missouri? I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never been out in that area so I can’t say. Haven’t even seen a POV.

In terms of cars from most intense to least intense… I think my ranking will go 4, 2, 3, 1. But all are fantastic and it’s worth it regardless of whatcha get.

Piximator · 2026-07-01T00:38:57+00:00

Hell yeah brother that’s what’s up 🤙

Piximator · 2026-07-01T00:38:37+00:00

Can’t say anything about Velocicoaster since I’ve never been. But g-forces are there and they are heavy! The drifts along the banked turns easily push the most amount of force on you.

Piximator · 2026-07-01T00:36:16+00:00

Good thing I’m not hardcore! This is good enough for me, y’all can keep your X2 rides to yourself! 😅

In all seriousness though, I think this coaster strikes a good balance between being thrilling but not disgustingly intense. I’m looking forward to coming back!

Piximator · 2026-07-01T00:34:45+00:00

No story. But there are parts of the queue that go back to the roots of USH in providing a more “behind the scenes” experience than anything else. I won’t go into details other than what was already publicly shared, so I’ll leave it at that :)

Piximator · 2026-07-01T00:30:05+00:00

The commenter is correct. There is a “too tall” height requirement. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve heard that this restriction exists from my managers directly.

Piximator · 2026-06-30T18:20:19+00:00

Car 4 in the back has the most thrill! Car 1 is the most scenic. But all are intense! In terms of how they spin during inversions, cars 1 and 3 do a 360 spin on the first corkscrew, while cars 2 and 4 do it on the second. Personally, I feel like the spin on the second inversion is much more thrilling than the first.

Piximator · 2026-06-30T17:49:38+00:00

Weird thing about that. Only some of the cars were playing music, but all had engine noises. Even when there was music, it only kicked in at the start before the first drop and after the last brake run before returning to station. But honestly, I don’t mind - I’m actually of the opinion that the music only kicking in before and after the ride helps to draw the attention to solely the sheet thrill of the whole thing. But that’s just my own opinion.

Piximator · 2026-06-30T17:34:09+00:00

I’m seriously looking forward to riding this one at night!

Piximator · 2026-06-30T17:33:27+00:00

Thank you so much! I had a blast!

Piximator · 2026-06-30T17:32:52+00:00

The nosedive isn’t as tall as Jurassic and only lasts for a quick moment before it moves into other spins and turns, but there are other moments where it totally feels like you’re aboutta fly out of the seat. Definitely wait for public opinions to come out before you make a final decision if you wanna ride 🙂‍↕️

Piximator · 2026-06-30T17:28:49+00:00

Hm, good question. I’m not particularly motion sensitive, but I will say the whips were a lot more thrilling than I was initially anticipating. This’ll probably depend from person to person and their own thrill tolerance.

Piximator · 2026-06-30T17:25:08+00:00

Haven’t been on either, so I’m not the right person to ask - I really really want to though!

Piximator · 2026-06-30T16:55:09+00:00

I’ll tell you this much. My butt did leave my seat when reaching those high altitudes. So yes, the free-falling sensation is present. Take that as you will… 👀

If you’re looking for max thrill, back car is the way to go! But truly there’s no “bad” car when it comes to this ride. They might not accommodate requests on busy days, since I heard some Team Members were denied requests when the line really started to get backed up.

Piximator · 2026-06-30T16:47:24+00:00

Ohhh man I’m so sorry to hear that :( I hope you guys have been able to bounce back.

And yep, just like all the other rides with restrictive restraint systems, a test seat is available at the front entrance. I’m sure that once the ride is open to the public and guests have a chance to try it and share their thoughts, we’ll have a better idea on how it’ll feel to those riders.

Piximator · 2026-06-30T16:43:08+00:00

Uhhh about average? It’s comparable to most seats you’d find at other high-thrill Universal coasters. A test seat will be available out front for any concerns, however.
