You disagree with a lot of things... . Riddlers feels horribly slow due to the fact it slows down so much at the apex of its loops and turns. Scream! for what it is was more entertaining to myself and my guests. I'd rather have the illusion of speed than going fast with the illusion of slow. A quick car can be more fun than a fast car. I find Scream! more intense than Riddler's. I could personally take a nap on Riddler's as it induces the urge itself without trying. This is merely based on perception so to each his own. The hangtime in Riddler's loop is probably my 4th favorite element in the park (right behind X2's Drop, Tatsu's Pretzel, and Goliath's Death Helix) But that ride feels ridiculously forceful on your feet, it's amazing and in no means feels slow, I'd rather have the hangtime over the standard "forceless" inversions on Scream

^Thank you sir for backing me up.

A combination between my first and last names, and my birthday. Very mysterious.

Same here. But what really bugs me is when anyone over 15 screams like a crazy on a kiddie coaster. Unless of course they find kiddie coasters thrilling... I'm DEFINITELY not guilty of that one... (Cause I don't scream THAT loud ) I find: Screaming in tunnels=loud fun Screaming out of the station=Can be annoying, but doesnt bother me High pitched scream the whole ride=Go die.

Cedar Fair must be hanging themselves... On a serious note: This ride looks like the perfect ride for KW (assuming capacity holds up) -

Can you say TAKE THE TUNNELs? That ride looks like another great addition to HW, they really can't seem to do anything wrong these days, too bad I will never have the money to get out there -
^I will actually completely disagree with you there, before I knew about the loose articles policy, I brought at hat on Riddler's and they told me I had to hold on to it. I put it on my head really tight figuring that I'd just kind of hold onto it in the fast parts, to my surprise the whole ride all the way down to the last turn was "fast" and I nearly lost my hat about 5 times. Another great thing about Riddler's is how much the force is amplified in the standing position, especially the negative force on it, you really can't beat airtime on a stand-up coaster. Another reason why Riddler's eats scream is due to the fact that it doesnt feel like you're riding a jackhammer. Plus it has the sexiest roar in the park!

^^^You honestly just summed up every feeling I have about that ride, I'm impressed. I could also care less about the parking lot theme, I actually really liked Medusa at SFDK even though it's similarly themed, the fact is that Scream is just not a very interesting ride. Edit:^I don't find Scream to be "sheer smooth..." but you really can't complain since it doesnt have a line

^Now that is a much better renditioning of it, you should post it on YT, you'd probably get a crapload of views -
When I worked there way back when (2006) that was the only seat I would test ride it. The best seat by far for intensity, and should the cable happen to shred apart on the launch (a la TTD and KK) it's nice to have 18 seats to use as a sheild. Greatest. Quote. Ever. But I also agree, I rode Xcel in the very front, very back, and middle, nothing quite matched being yanked down the drop and flying out of my seat at the same time

^Agreed, I've heard Dback is "OMG F***ING AMAZING" And that it just gets boring after a while
