    Original Rattler is an absolute legend. Changed and modified many times in it's life for safety reasons. The original iteration would leave us literally bruised, as kids, but damn we loved it. Some of my favorite childhood memories are at the top of that coaster.

    This park does everything right and should be considered the flagship of Six Flags. Superman is the best floorless Ive ridden, Wonder Woman isnt painful like Railblazer for some reason even though theyre the same model, and everyone who works there has Kings Island energy which gives the park life. I went to SFOT and this for the first time in the same weekend and theyre not even close in terms of quality and line up.

  • @OklahomaCoasterFan
    @OklahomaCoasterFan Рік тому +2

    I agree with having Wonder Woman's clock start at the first drop. The turnaround before the drop feels like an extension of the lift hill as opposed to being a part of the prime ride time. I still can't get over how bad Rattler was. 97 seconds of pure torture.

  • @theheardtheorem
    @theheardtheorem Рік тому +4

    As long as The Rattler was, it was so miserable that it feels like my last ride on it in 1997 just ended. I have the weird honor of riding The Rattler, Texas Giant and Big Apple Coaster consecutively. I just assumed I had gotten too old for coasters and gave up riding them until I saw a Steel Vengeance POV in 2018. My wife and I have been trying to get as many credits as we can before our backs give out 🤣

    It's interesting how the ride experience can vary from the numbers day to day or even hour to hour. I had little slowdown on the mid-course brake run for Superman and Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger last time I went; although I've only ridden Cliffhanger once (no pre-show, though). Pandemonium didn't spin as much as I would've liked, though.

    Rattler’s original first drop before the modifications was one of the best first drops that ever existed. I never thought Rattler was really rough but it became quite boring after it was modified. After riding coasters for such a long time I have a high tolerance for what is considered “rough”. All you coaster enthusiasts that call certain coasters rough I say they just have quirky personalities lol. Also I always look for the enjoyment in any ride over the negative. I used to review coasters but I was not enjoying the rides like usual when I was searching for problems.

Besides: I had my best single coaster trip earlier this year with Nickelodeon Universe New Jersey, SFNJ; Coney Island, Deno's Wonderwheel and SFGA IL. I guess I'll just have to save up for Universal Islands of Adventure and Busch Gardens Tampa for my next coaster trip, but I hope to get to SFFT eventually. Great video: thanks for posting!
