This introduced what Mack can really do. Full masterpiece, a non inverted loop, vertical twisting drop, ejector airtime, positive Gs... Absolutely crazy how good the layout is and how many elements it has, when we see more Mack Hypers, specifically in America and Europe, I think they will be some of the best coasters in the world.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Such a fantastic ride.

Your analysis of coasters and their background is second to none, I honestly think you will be the top you tuber of the genre alongside theme park worldwide.

Thanks!

[@JustACooldude74503]

DC Rivals is my #1 Coaster, for the sole reason I’ve never left Australia. Though personally I think it’s a contender for the worlds best coaster, but I might just be biased because it’s in Australia. This is probably the best review of the ride on the internet. I have done it backwards at Movie Worlds Halloween event fright nights, the on,y way to describe that was absolute chaos. Glad that you got to ride it and enjoyed it:)

[@CanobieCoaster]

[@teddym2808]

No, the hill wasn't really shaky in 2017. I would have remembered it as I hate rough coasters. I didn't even know they had changed it since I went back in 2019.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's odd they replaced it then.

[@teddym2808]

@@CanobieCoaster I think they wanted it glass smooth and maybe it was slightly not, that's all I can think of.. but to someone who has ridden almost 500 coasters, and you well over 1000, we know what ROUGH is. Rough is what Ghost Rider was in 2016 before refurb (for example). So if it had a slight vibration I probably just didn't notice it. I bet you that's all it was, a passing vibration on that hill that meant it wasn't 100% glass from start to finish. But I didn't notice anything.

[@alantrotter2077]

Great review! It feels like it would be on par with Expedition GeForce by the way you described and maybe the back row would be on par with something like Kondaa. It is a bucket list coaster for me. The drop looks insane in the back row.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer Kondaa to Rivals. But I'll take Rivals over GeForce.

[@Aerolandaircraft]

I've sorta hated on DC Rivals in the past (I had it at number 3 for a while, after Superman Escape and Leviathan) but I recently got my 10th ride on DC Rivals, and I can say, it has come full circle. This was my first coaster and I'm so proud that this is at my home park. I would say forwards isn't quite as good as Superman or Leviathan but backwards makes the difference. When the forwards facing rows receive airtime, in back you feel like you're freefalling. Such an insane experience, and part of me fears if it'll ever be topped. I've done Leviathan backwards but it just doesn't come close. I hope these rows are added to much more rollercoasters in the future.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That is one heck of a first coaster!

[@ChiefBlueScreen]

Copperhead Strike has recently adopted the same policy with their seatbelt restraints. Wonder if it's a recommended policy from Mack.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I remember that last year too. Could be a Mack thing.

[@ValueNetwork]

Backwards/Spinning rows as a Upcharge are a genius inclusion on Mack rides, it’s printing the park free money. DC rivals looks unreal and Australia is lucky to have something this good that’s mostly unique in the world… That is until my country gets one next year, and I cannot wait for Project Exodus. It’s elements look insane and I trust it to fully live up to the hype despite the short length

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope Exodus gets a gimmick row too.

[@teddym2808]

Exodus looks INCREDIBLE.. So many top notch elements one after another. If that rendering is anything to go by thus far, it will be a top 5 worldwide for me and will easily crush DC Rivals. Going purely by what I have seen, it's not even a comparison, just a different class of coaster. I guess Mack weren't that adventurous back then but there would have been no issue building that where Rivals is. Still, gotta be happy with what we have! That said, I wish we were getting an RMC instead of the 3 family coasters coming to Movie World next year... Such a big space of land that could have had a world class custom hybrid, OR, they could have been *really* clever and done the one Vekoma suspended family coaster they are planning (good idea as only one other suspended coaster in the entire State), and instead of doing 2 boomerangs also, they could have made a custom RMC Raptor intertwining with the family suspended. So the area then gets one family coaster and one thrill coaster, perfect, instead of 3 family. Doesn't make sense to me but what do I know. I think something to appeal to more broad an audience is always better, I mean they already have 2 family coasters with Scooby Doo and the Vekoma roller skater called Road Runner.. They don't need 3 more. What do you think? Just off topic on a tangent but curious.

[@dingo137]

Exodus is a little short, but it's about the same length as Nemesis and only a few seconds shorter than Zadra, and neither of those felt too short to me. I find shortness is much more noticeable if the ride is mediocre anyway. Frankly I'm just happy that we're actually getting something impressive in the UK - its been a long time.

[@teddym2808]

@@dingo137 Yeah it is a tad short, but there's no dead spot, at all. Not that I can see anyway. It's just what I call non stop action, and I love that.

[@clubstep8244]

Mack has this thing where everything they build is kickass

[@homemademovies8364]

12:37 To answer your question about whether the ride's large camelback had a rattle to it, I know my predictions aren't very credible as I did not ride it at the time, but while they changed the top of the camelback, I think they also made significant changes to the small section before the camelback and just as you reach the ground after the first drop (around where you get your photo taken). I say this due to brief descriptions from other individuals who rode and reviewed the coaster in 2017, but if you search for ride video reactions provided to guests by the park released around this time, you'll also find that the cameras attached to the back of the seats caught the element to be rattly and mildly rough. I'm glad they changed it though. Glad you had fun and good video 👍

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks! Sounds like it was the transition into the element more than the element itself.

[@THATSSOMID.]

The backwards seats are insane!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sure are!

[@SnowghostFilms]

Just rode it and it was insane! The backwards row was The scariest ride of my life, and the ending bunny hills were just epic! The S hills before were almost a wild as the non-inverting loop for me. Also got the front row by pure chance waiting in the single rider line for my first ride.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's very lucky getting the front like that.

[@ThemeParkOgre]

I'm glad you liked it! I'm very curious about riding Expedition Geforce and Kondaa one day as they both seem to be its spiritual precursors and successors respectively

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer Kondaa. Rivals is better than GeForce in the backwards row. It's splitting hairs otherwise.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The ones in Australia were very smooth.

[@LonelyPandora]

When I went there in 2019, it was the quite less for the backrow seats. But I really enjoy the ride. Did it a few times before I started feeling sick XD. Other than the ride itself, the queue options were the best thing to add to the park. I was traveling with my dad but due to his age, I was the only one that went on that ride so being a single rider and having their own queue really helps because it does save time for the staff having to call out for single riders to come forward like in the Superman ride.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I love when parks have options too.

My number one bucket list coaster. And let me say that no one does a coaster review like Canobie Coaster.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thank you!

[@gavinseipelt6091]

With the first hill, the issue is there was a bit of a kink at the bottom of the first drop and the track just never lined up that well between two adjacent segments . The track wasn't replaced, but rather they tweaked the bolting at each column and drifted several segments in a row on that hill to 'absorb' the difference.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks for clarifying what happened! That makes more sense than a faulty piece of track.

[@theintamindude]

Having ridden both this and EGF, while DC has the more interesting layout on paper, EGF reigns supreme for me--ejector airtime for me is better experienced on your thighs vs your lap (it's more comfortable on your lap but it feels stronger on your thighs).

[@CanobieCoaster]

I think I prefer EGF over Rivals forwards, but I prefer Rivals backwards to EGF.

[@teddym2808]

WOW, it's 30 AUD now for the back. It used to be 25 and that was already nuts! That's INSANE for one ride. It should be 10 bucks MAX, and 5 for say happy hour. I find that ludicrous Mike and something that's only ever worth doing one time (which is all I ever did, same with spinning seat on Steel Taipan but I have yet to ride Leviathan) simply due to the cost - it's nonsensical and means the back row is wasted for most of the time. Just as our Express line passes are also nonsensically priced. Ludicrous actually. I don't know if they have changed this also, but I couldn't pick my row when I was there a few years back either (edit, just saw more of the vid and it's sadly still the same, sigh). This is a big flaw in the general EU and AU park system that is SO much better in American parks and why I enjoy visiting them so much, because you can automatically line up for the row you want on *almost* every coaster in the country. Almost. This doesn't exist on any coaster in Australia. It's crazy. And is very uncommon in EU as well, as you know. I don't know why they think this is more efficient, which is why they do it, cause it's actually not and just adds another element of extra time to the boarding procedure. Anyway, mandates are lifted in May so I can finally come back to US so have changed my trip this year from EU to a US trip (lucky nothing was booked yet lol), I will do EU in 2025. US is just a much cheaper overall vacation when everything is added up and I can finally get to do VelociCoaster and Lightning Rod and the like, and I can't wait! Maybe see you then. I'm coming for an entire 2 months! Cheers.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I don't mind assigned seating as long as it's efficient and there's flexibility in row selection. On the efficiency point, I noticed a lot of the groupers in Australia also were checking restraints, which would slow things down. That system works in Europe since they have separate positions most of the time. I agree the back seats are expensive. As an enthusiast who wasn't sure when he'd be back, I was willing to pay it. But I noticed they often went out empty at Sea World and Movie World. The spinning seat had much more frequent use at Dreamworld.

[@teddym2808]

@@CanobieCoaster I am looking forward to your review of ST as I am so curious to know how it compares to a ground up Mack extreme spinner. I liked it a lot but found the coaster merely adequate in the forward facing rows (6.5/10 for forward rows vs something like Helix which I give a 9/10 to in any row), and excellent in the spinning seat which is also enhanced by its placement so far back (I rate it 9/10 for spinning row alone). Again I only did it once though. Too expensive to do multiple times. I can buy a US nationwide six flags premium pass LOL for the same price as a few rides on the 'special' rows of those three Aussie coasters. Really puts it into perspective.

[@teddym2808]

@@CanobieCoaster My issue with assigned seating is that I almost always want the back except for very few coasters, and ALL coasters should have a front row line even if the rest is assigned, as everyone should be guaranteed a front row ride if they are willing to wait. Otherwise it's just blatantly unfair and I LOVE how the big coasters in the US often even have an entirely separate FR entrance queue. If you want to wait, you get your front row. That's fair.

[@AirtimeProductions]

Wow yeah I bet that back seat would be a 10/10! Does the front row hold up aswell or it not as insane as that backwards row?

Front is very good, but I prefer seats towards the back.

i always wondered why people said this non-inverting loop had so much airtime so i guess it just has more speed into it and a longer train then normal but it still doesn’t make sense to me

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was tight at the top to give all that airtime.

[@teddym2808]

Mike, have you ridden a Flash clone? I have and I loved it. I am just curious on your thoughts. I found less dead time and I enjoyed the mix with inversions and TBH when Rivals was announced that is what I thought we'd be getting. Don't get me wrong, I am glad we got a one of a kind, and I really love the first three elements in particular. But yeah, I know you haven't been to China but just curious if you rode the Flash clone in Turkey. Cheers!

[@quintinrice2733]

I know this would never happen but, I'd love to see SFMM remove Goliath and replace it a "Real" Hyper. I know Knotts has teased one but, SFMM is the only Ca. park that has the room for a really nice out and back Hyper. With CGA Closing this a huge opportunity for SFMM to grab that vacant space. I don't think Discovery Kingdom has the space for an out and back hyper. Living in Central Ca. CGA had become my Favorite Ca. park. It finishes just ahead of Knotts because it's 75 miles closer to my house.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Discovery Kingdom never will get a hyper with their height limit. I'd love a 150ft mega coaster but am skeptical that park would ever get one.

[@quintinrice2733]

@@CanobieCoaster, That's right. I remember them having alter Vertical Velocity because that spike was too tall.

[@dingo137]

Oof, that's expensive for one ride. I find myself very reluctant to pay on a per ride basis, even if all the other costs of going to a park would work out at a similar amount if you divide by the number of rides you get. I'm not surprised the backwards row was often empty at that price!

[@marty_nz]

Yes, and that's why Leviathan is the best coaster in Australia. It's nonstop action until you hit the brake run.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree Leviathan is more evenly paced, but I prefer the best of Rivals.

[@teddym2808]

@@marty_nz I can't wait to ride it. That rolling drop looks great in the back seat but I really wish they had a train with all forward facing seats so you could get a proper back row ride, but the same goes for Rivals. No need to have the back seat on both trains face in reverse when the uptake to use it is so low overall (relatively speaking). Is Leviathan rough? I am going to ride it ASAP before my trip to the states later in the year. I want to ride it before it deteriorates as gravity group woodies get rough fast vs something like a GCI. I suppose Mike will go into detail about that in his coming review though, but I am just hoping it's not a really rough one as I am hanging out for it, and although I can handle a rumble, I hate actual "rough" if that makes sense.

[@marty_nz]

@@teddym2808 yeah makes perfect sense. Leviathan is "lively", but I can see it getting rougher over time. I did it in Feb and going over again next month for more rides on it. I have 22 rides on it so far and it's a coaster you can ride all day, which is exactly what I did. I've been on some rough Gravity Group wooden coasters like Mine Blower (which was great in first year but now it's terribly rough) and also Switchback at ZDTs. Leviathan is super smooth compared to those. GCI's tend to take longer to get rough, but I think it's more to do with their trains handling the roughness better. What parks are you aiming to hit in USA? Some great coasters over there.

​@@marty_nz I have been to 29 states so will do much the same again, All Busch Parks/Seaworld, Universal Florida both parks (but not Hollywood), all six flags parks bar a couple.

I will do Disney in Florida as well but completely skip California Disney, although I know there is no way I am going to miss out on a back seat ghost rider so will do Knotts, otherwise I wouldn't visit the Anaheim/Buena Park area at all, but I just love GR especially at night. And of course have to go to SFMM as since I have been there there's a Raptor which I must ride. Already bought Cedar Fair platinum so will visit almost all their parks too, including their lower tier parks as I must do Shivering Timbers again and want to do the new Zinger in the midwest. All the main Hershen parks as well. Will Skip Dorney and Knoebels this time. Hershey park is a huge one and I can't wait, Wildcat's Revenge and Skyrush, OMG.

If I can fit in Lake Compounce for Boulderdash I will, but I may not get to this time.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Definitely prefer it further back too.

[@marty_nz]

It's really good, but is it the best coaster in Australia though? It has the stats for it for sure. It's probably my first or second most ridden coaster, so the wow factor has worn off unfortunately. It's also quite inconsistent in how fast it runs, so at times it's floater at best over the first hill. I agree the drop is really good, but Kondaa's is better, as well as the first camel back hill. The non inverting loop is a fizzer for me and feels like a bit of filler element. It does look cool though. DC Rivals to me is a mix of Kondaa, EGF and Flying Aces. I'd take it over EGF, but Kondaa and Flying Aces are superior in my opinion.

[@StamfordBridge]

Interesting that you rate Flying Aces over this!! I really loved Flying Aces and don’t hear it discussed much these days.

[@marty_nz]

@@StamfordBridge Flying Aces is overshadowed by the less superior Formula Rossa, because it doesn't have the stats. It's actually quite similar to Superman Escape taking the hype backseat with DC Rivals in the park. At the end of the day people will have their own opinions and you know mine lol.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The non-inverting loop was awesome for me. The weakest parts for me were in the middle. Still decent to good, but not as elite as other elements.

[@alantrotter2077]

The ride seems very similar to EGF to me in terms of quality. I agree that Kondaa looks superior and said basically the back seat could possible be on par with that. I also find it interesting you have Flying Aces so high. I've seen where Hyperion or SkyRush or Phantom's Revenge or even Shambhala gets into the discussion before a ride like Flying Aces. But I would agree that Flying Aces looks far more interesting than Formula Rossa.

[@marty_nz]

​@@alantrotter2077 Flying Aces is probably the closest coaster in design to DC Rivals with the main "gimmick" being the non inverting loop. The length, speed and height are similar overall, yet it beats DC Rivals with each statistic. Kondaa is a perfect example though that you dont need that hyper height for the elements to hit perfectly.

The entire coaster was actually pretty rough if you were anywhere besides the front car. Especially the mid 3rd with all the turns. But I didn't find the hill more rough than the rest of the ride.

If this Coaster and Other Mack Hypers/Megas makes me super excited for Project Exodus at Thorpe Park, especially so if they add a backwards last row (Add it back to The Swarm you cowards) or a Spinning back row.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I wish they'd add one.

Wouldn’t go anywhere this place because of the spiders

[@CanobieCoaster]

My wife is scared of spiders, but she had no trouble on the trip in the regions with the parks.

[@motrydooto1698]

it looks pretty clear this coaster needs a fresh coat of paint lol

[@CanobieCoaster]

I thought it looked fine, but it was faded in some parts.

[@motrydooto1698]

@@CanobieCoaster Yeah some parts looked good, but the parts that don’t? Man!

[@360coasters]

@@motrydooto1698 it’s because they repainted some parts but since this is arguably their most popular attraction, they don’t want to have it closed too long.

[@motrydooto1698]

[@radbricks8298]

WAIT IT WASN"T A April fools !!!!! WHAT

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was not.

[@360coasters]

Do you think this ride is overrated?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I don't think it's the world's best coaster, but it's reputation as the best in Australia is more than fair.

[@cg_plays]

Personally I think exodus will be better than this

[@CanobieCoaster]

Exodus may have better elements, but it won't have anywhere near this length.

[@XYZ-db9pz]

Of course Australia's best coaster, cause roller coaster in Australia not much.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They have some great ones.

[@darkwhale-og9ig]

levi is better as far as australian coasters go. too many deadspots on dc rivals. It is very very good but a little too overated.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer DC Rivals myself.
