Untamed- Review

By -
Untamed is a Gerstlauer Euro Fighter Coaster located at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH. This is the only one of its kind in New England. This ride takes riders up 72 feet straight up, and down a 97 degree drop! Riders travel through three inversions and a helix during their 1,181 foot journey. Each category will receive a score 1/10, and at the end I will give my final opinion and score of the ride.

Theming and Scenery
Untamed is located in Big Bear Plaza, which is a wilderness-type theme. The station is reminiscent of a log cabin, and the ride has a green and grey color scheme. The station is very, very nice. The ride itself doesn't have any theming, but there is some pretty nice foliage in the area.
Theming and Scenery: 6/10

Inversions
Untamed has 3 inversions. These include a Vertical Loop, Immelmann Loop, and a Zero G Roll. The inversions are quite good, and really forceful! My favorite is probably the vertical loop! The loop is compact and really pushes you into your seat, while still providing cool sensations. My only complaint is that the Immelmann is a little jerky.
Inversions: 8/10
Trains
I am a huge fan of the cars on Untamed! They are themed to bears, and are extremely unique. The downside is that the cars have Over The Shoulder Restraints, which add a little bit to the roughness of the ride. Other than that, I think the train design is great!
Trains: 7/10
Smoothness
This ride is not very smooth. It is an aggressive ride. It isn't constant roughness, mostly just jerkiness, and this is exemplified by the Over The Shoulder Restraints. I believe this ride wouldn't feel as rough if the trains were different.
Smoothness: 5/10
Unique Elements
Untamed features both a vertical lift, and beyond-vertical drop. These are both very unique in general, but are the only ones of their kind in New England. They both provide a really cool experience that immensely adds to the ride!
Unique Elements: 9/10
Untamed is a great little coaster at Canobie. It provides great thrills in a small footprint, and is quite intense. I wish it was smoother, but it isn't too rough, which is a good thing. My final score for this ride is a 7/10.

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
