The Gold Coaster review by Zanstabar

by Zanstabar, 9 years ago
Rated 1.5 An uninspired layout, a poor excuse of theming, terrible operations and painful restraints make for one un-enjoyable ride.

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Good

For a simple, old school Arrow, it does it's job

Effectiveness Average

For the "Tallest High-Speed Gravity Coaster in the Southern Hemisphere", it doesn't really live up to it's hype

Intensity Low

No real forces until you hit that final helix, sidewinder and loop

Rider Comfort

Painkillers are a must have after riding this.

Pacing Good

The beginning feels a little weak, but picks up pace towards the end

Theming/Storyline

When the exit pathway is the most themed thing about your ride, you've done something wrong

Upkeep/Presentation Average

This ride looks almost as bad as it feels to ride

Queue/Efficiency

You can wait anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes between cycles.
