Watching Wonder Woman at SFFT reminded me of those model coasters (Knex, marble tracks, my Lego coaster) where the train travels cartoonishly fast at a pace that would kill a person. It kind of felt that way too, but tbh, I don't really remember my single ride on it because it was almost sensory overload. The entire drop to brakes takes about 20 seconds or something.
I have CGA as a home park and have probably ridden Railblazer ~20 times. It’s really fast and the pacing is rapid fire, but the ride is short enough that it’s never too much. That little pause in the middle before the drop into the cutback is just enough breather to let you get your bearings before the finale.

I agree that it's not enough to mess me up. (And remember, I'm a pretty big wuss with rides like Maverick, I-305, etc.) But our single ride (after a 2.5 hr wait) was definitely sensory overload. I compare it to my first ever ride on Dragster, where I got off of it with almost no memory of the ride. It was so much so fast that it's like my brain didn't take it all in.
