I'm glad that you had a good time at my home park. It sounds like you got a lot of good riding in!

I didn’t think it would be good… Oh well. Did intimidator about 30 times, no wait, after burn 5 timesish, cobra twice, nighthawk once, Thunder road-north, vortex, ricochet, Carolina cyclone, Woodstock coaster, windseeker, and the gliders. Intimidator was obviously my groups must ride, over and over, and it was great! Just needed a tad more of airtime and it would’ve been fantastic. The afterburn was pretty good, I think I had set the expectations too high on this though, but I loved the batwing. Carolina cobra… Couldn’t decide if I loved it or hated it. Hated nighthawk, probably cause I love 5 minutes from manta. Thunder road was probably the surprise of the trip, actually smooth! Somewhat. The vortex was awful. Ricochet was fun, but standard. Cyclone has lost all appeal to me. The Woodstock coaster was a kiddie coaster, but it gets the job done. Windseeker was too slow for me, but a good addition for the park. And the gliders… Spent a quarter of the day on these, got some great snaps! Overall great, just too hot.

Thanks. I didn't want to use real company names.

Sorry. I was busy with my trip last week. Surya's advice was pretty solid. I hope you did get to ride Goldrusher though. It's a pretty good mine train.

Hmm, I guess not, since the half-twists are in opposite directions. So it's a vertical loop in the middle of a cutback…

For that matter, you could describe a Norwegian loop (like in Speed Monster and Fahrenheit) as a vertical loop in the middle of an inline twist.

Eijanaika technically already has an inversion inside of an inversion. Except it has the inverse of what you described, a front-flip inside of a barrel-roll (zero-g roll to be more precise). Now if only it wasn't all the way in Japan.

I went here last year. I'd say: ride Intimidator as much as possible, I liked front best, but your preference may vary.
Also make sure to ride Afterburn a couple of times, preferably in the back. That batwing is just great.
Nighthawk is one of the best Vekoma's I've ridden, I think I even rerode it.
I found Thunder Road to be a bit too rough, as was Hurler
I didn't do the Cobra or Ricochet, I don't like boomerangs and wild mouses.
Cyclone and Goldrusher are showing their age, they're not must rides.
