Steel Force

👍👍 Steel Force was amazing! It has a great first drop, a fun double helix and a great set of bunny hills after the mid course. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Wicked Cyclone

Roller coaster

👍👍 I have to say this was my absolute favourite ride in the whole of Six Flags! It might not be classed as one of the top 3 but we both enjoyed it the most! I assume it was once a fully wooden coaster but it was now had steel tracks added - this makes it so smooth and didn’t shake you around like many...

Hydra

👍👍 Very fun and scary roller-coaster, do wish the drop was higher to increase the scare. Really liked the tight turn when the Rollercoaster starts.

4.70 (265 reviews) (~85.29 km from centre)

Talon: The Grip of Fear

Roller coaster

👍👍 This ride is great, I go to dorney around every other week so it has lost its first initial scare but it can either be an ok ride or a great ride depending on where you sit. So if you can, wait for the front row or the row with larger seats for the best ride.

Comet

Roller coaster

👍👍 This is the best ride at Great Escape. It is absolutely exhilarating. No wonder it's considered one of the best wooden coasters in the country. It's one you want to do at night, good to do on a cold night in The Fall but honestly you just got to go on this at some point. It made me feel strong!!

4.60 (708 reviews) (~235.62 km from centre)

Batman - The Dark Knight

Roller coaster

👍 Not as intense as some other rides like superman or wicked cyclone. But it's a fun ride! The double corkscrew at the end was a bit rough but overall it's a fun ride! One of the weaker B&M floorless' but it's a great coaster. 3rd best ride at the park!

4.60 (311 reviews) (~84.88 km from centre)

Boulder Dash

Roller coaster

👍👍 Rode in the back, middle, then front, all rows are quite rough but this ride is truly legendary! The lift hill up the mountain is incredible, and the relentless hills throughout the layout make this a wild ride from beginning to end! A father and his young daughter sitting a few rows up during my ba...

Thunderbolt Mountain Coaster

Roller coaster

👍👍 This mountain coaster is the best that I have ever ridden. The climb is relaxing and calm and the ride down is full of great twists and turns that you take at your own speed controlled by two hand breaks. Everyone in our group loved it and wanted to ride a second time. I look forward to our next tri...

Thunderbolt Roller Coaster at Luna Park in Coney Island

Roller coaster

😠 The ride was pretty good, but the staff was COMPLETELY and utterly RUDE. I went with my girlfriend (who wanted to go on an adrenaline pumping ride with me) and paid $10 per person, which is VERY overpriced for a 45 second ride. I was more than happy to pay for it because I THOUGHT it would have been...
