Did the opinions shift though?
Re: Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, I enjoyed it, but didn't rate it highly. It was never at the forefront of my mind, and I'd have no reason to mention it unless...
...it were to close down.
I will generally feel a bit sad about the demise of most coasters I've...
As a counter to that, Nemesis original didn't have it, but Nemesis Reborn is like being on a vibrating massage chair made of metal.
Nemesis Inferno is still butter smooth with no rattle and it's 21 years old.
I think i first became overtly aware of the B&M rattle this year.
I rode Nemesis in 2021 and Nemesis Reborn in 2024. Because they are the same layout, there was a direct comparison. Reborn had a terrible rattle, to the extent that I'd have sworn that Reborn was the older ride of the two! I...

I've ridden only one B&M hyper (Silver Star) and for a ride that big it's mystifyingly 'just ok'. Hyperia on the other hand is completely unique and felt fantastic. Ignoting the corners cut, which they would have done with any manufacturer or model, I am 100% happy they went with what they did.
What if, and stay with me on this one, the wood and metal pattern made to look like a wooden gate is a reference to ... a theme appropriate wooden gate
No particular order:
1. Temple of the Nighthawk - Phantasialand
This ride was so nauseating. It just endlessly meanders, and when I ride it the building was super hot with no air flow. I felt ghastly afterwards.
2. Manta - Sea World Orlando
That pretzel loop felt horrible on my head and did...
