New Entries in the CoasterBuzz Top 100

It's pretty great. As RMC's go, I preferred Lightning Rod (in its former life, not sure how the chain lift affects it), but Wildcat's Revenge is up there.

We were just at Hersheypark last week and rode Wildcats Revenge for the first time. Of the 3 RMC's I have been on (Steel Vengeance, Twisted Timers, and Wildcat) this was by far the worst of the three in my opinion. I rated it as a 4 of 5, but it is well below the other two. I can't really explain it, but something just felt off. Whether it is the layout, the pacing, or something else it was a one and done. It is not one I really need to go out of my way to ride again.

As always, YMMV

I totally agree. It's still a great ride, but I also thought it was lackluster for the size and scope. New Texas Giant is about the same size, over a decade older, and is a more fun ride overall and some of the smaller rides seem to do a lot more. Maybe it's the lack of massive air hills and the focus on inversions and wave turns.

"Pacing" on an RMC is a funny concept to me. My experience seems to be "blur of complete insanity" from the top of the lift to the brakes. In a good way.

Whenever I hear "Wildcat's Revenge" I think of the famous children's book by author Claude Bahls.

Wow. Nemesis enters the top 100. First non-US or Canadian entry with 40 votes.

Happy to have contributed to that 40 mark.

Nemesis is definitely worthy. I had such fear of "anticipointment" going to ride it, but it's everything you think it is, and more. Only slight negative is that it's a bit short, and leaves you wanting instant re-rides.

One surprise for me that's not made it yet is ArieForce One. Surely we've gotten enough of us crazies down there to get 40 votes?

Lagoon's Cannibal entering the chat is a wild. Lagoon is pretty remote and people don't talk about this ride much so I'm impressed the rating is so high. Looks like a good ride though.

I suspect Stardust Racers will be storming the list soon. I was able to go for a preview the week before official opening and they really are THAT good. Haven't done Velocicoaster yet myself but will be interested to see how the ratings play out in comparison. Also interested to see if anyone is willing to rate Green different from Yellow. I definitely have a preference for one vs. the other but not nearly enough to rate either less than 5 stars.

A wild week in the Top 100.

Wind Chaser at #26 (is this just a rename from Storm Chase and it was already here on the list in the same spot?).

Top Thrill 2 enters strong at #28 and I'm guessing its placement will bounce around a bit in the next few weeks.

And then Yukon Striker adds another international entry to the list.

Wind Chaser is indeed Storm Chaser.

Why didn't they change the name to something non-weather related? It's confusing and shows a lack of creativity. They obviously did it on purpose because they think it's clever, but it's like naming your kids Mikey, Ricky, Nicky, and Dicky.

Yes, name changes appear as new. Just a quirk in the way the database works.

I'm surprised TT2 starts that low. I imagine it'll rise a bit as more people get on it.

Yukon Striker is a long time coming. I really enjoyed my visit to Canada's Wonderland way back in 2019. Any major happenings since then?

We are now 5 new entries away from requiring a score of 4 to be in the top 100. There must be some that already exist that are just waiting on experienced riders (Siren's Curse, AlpenFury, Stardust Racers). That one star difference of 4 to 5 is getting huge.
