1. Steel Vengeance
I had huge expectations for this one. After all, so many thoosies have this as their #1, there has to be a reason for that. On the other hand, most thoosies rank Fury 325 very highly, and that was nothing but a dissapointment for me.
The first half is pure greatness, second half is your run of the mill RMC, but somehow... better. The airtime is sustained but not too crazy, it has a certain flow to it that is hard to describe. It took me a while to think about it, but I have to admit that this is the best coaster I've ever ridden.
2. ArieForce One
Whilst SteVe had suprisingly "mild" airtime, this was the opposite. The longer on it goes, the crazier the airtime is becoming. I was told this had the craziest airtime ever, and I see where this sentiment comes from. Holy smokes, that quad down is out of this world. I had bruises all over my legs from this beast, and I have to admit that this one broke me to the point where I was happy to end my ERT.
3. Zadra
Whilst most RMCs focus on Airtime, Zadra focusses on speed and is hauling through its layout. The Zero-G stall is nothing short of amazing, the Wave-Turn is relentless and it only has a couple of the typical "RMC edges" in the layout. Once you hit the breakrun with tremendous speed, you feel like they could've put another RMC behind it with the amount of excess speed you enter the brakerun.
4. Twisted Cyclone
Maybe the most pleasant RMC to ride. It is just comfortable and a fun experience. Not the most intense ride, and a very short one at that, but it is just a very fun ride to lap over and over again.
5. Untamed
My first RMC and a ride that is always a bit hard to judge. The 270° double Inverting Corner stall is still my favourite element on any coaster, on the other hand it's ending feels very repetetive and a bit too fast paced for my liking. It is a fun ride, but it just feels like they were trying a bit too hard.
6. Wildfire
This one starts off amazing, but is just a bit too long for its initial speed. It is certainly enjoyable, but it just slows down too much towards the end.
7. Storm Chaser
To be fair: I only had rides towards the morning and a fairly empty train, but it was a warm day nonetheless. But this one just felt... boring. The beginning is nice, but starting from the third element it just looses so much speed. The last helix is taken at a snails pace. But funnily enough, the airtime pops still deliver some airtime until the end.
8. Jersey Devil Coaster
The largest Raptor I've done so far, and the best of those. Well, given the other contestants, an easy choice. I enjoyed it, but it just lacks a bit of something. Not great, but certainly not terrible.
9. Lightning Rod
Talking of not terrible - Lightning Rod. Gosh, it looked so crazy when it opened, the speed of the quad down was out of this world. And then they neutered it. And they neutered it. And then they neutered it more with the worlds slowest "high speed" chainlift.
For some reason, you will always find people claiming that it's still the same intensity when warmed up than it used to had.
The first part is boring and shaky, featuring the worlds only wave-turn with hang time (which is the only enjoyable part here), it then switches to the smooth topper track to deliver a few mediocre airtime pops, followed by one good one.
The ride might have been an amazing one at some point, but nowadays, it is just meh.
10. Wicked Cyclone
It keeps its speed quite well, but I just found it to try a bit too hard for my liking. It has great moments, but also some, that I despised.
However, I should also mention, that I only had one ride on this one.
12. YoY Thrill
Boring, dull and rough. Little to no airtime, the inversions feel gimmicky and its just going on a bit too long.
13. YoY Chill
Take Thrill, but remove the inversions and the result is a rough family coaster. Not a fan at all.
11. Twisted Timbers
Oh boy, its getting controversial.
RMC tried to squeeze too much in too little space and the result is this abomination. It starts of decent, but quickly shows its focus on weird shaping and unpleasant laterals. The 3 airtime hills are decent, but thats the end of the fun. Some transitions are so sudden, that they just throw you around left to right. RMC clearly tried too much with this one, and the result is unpleasant, painful and simply not a good ride. Too tight, too whacky and too much to be enjoyable anymore.
