Take a Virtual Ride on RailBlazer - POV

RailBlazer is the first coaster of its kind on the West Coast featuring a single rail track throughout; the design requires the rider to straddle the rail, creating an extremely low center of gravity that amplifies every move and enables more dynamic turns and rotations than have ever been possible on a coaster. With an eight-passenger single file train hugging the rail, the coaster gives riders an unobstructed view of the ground and air as they speed smoothly over the twisting track.

Is it just me or does this coaster look super satisfying

[@kumozumo]

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

Marc Weiner you’re lucky. When I went here as a field trip with my Music class, they weren’t done building it yet so we missed that opportunity.

[@Alex-rg2kk]

Marc Weiner I'm going tomorrow. How were the lines? Incredibly long I imagine.

[@triple7marc]

TheBearForce They were about an hour and a half when I was there, but since tomorrow is a Saturday I’m sure they’ll be longer. I’d suggest going to RailBlazer immediately when the park opens (run there) and then around lunch and dinner time when there may not be as many people. Otherwise, be prepared to wait a while. New rides are always the most popular.

[@Alex-rg2kk]

Marc Weiner i haven't been there for like 3 years, is gold striker and patriot still considered new rollercoasters or will they have the wait time of any other rollercoaster. Also yea thanks for the advice but to follow up on it when you after dinner time do you mean all of the time after that because I plan on staying all day so once it passes around 5PM are wait times nice?

for anyone who’s still watching this in 2021, i literally just went on it today!! So so much fun tho a little scary. I think the line just intimidates you more than the actual ride, the 90 degree drop didn’t really feel like anything. Anyway totally recommend this one :)

Eccentric Gamer ironically WWGLC is an almost exact copy of railblazer. I would go as far as to say it is a copy. The only differences are that railblazer goes left while WW goes right, and also WW is 116 ft tall and RB is 109 ft tall.

Bennett Veith Wonder Woman definitely looks slower and that confuses me a lot.

[@rathk1270]

Bennett Veith because Six Flags.

[@alexf02071999]

I know this is a very unscientific way of measuring and doesn't account for a bunch of variables, but comparing the two POVs from the top of the first drop to the final brake run, RailBlazer seems to finish about 3 seconds earlier than Wonder Woman.

[@Qrispy]

Three seconds is huge.

[@hwalnut7202]

They put a trim brake on wonder woman

[@labyrinth8485]

Back seat is the best seat you get absolutely flung out of your seat compared to the front, which you don't get any snap or ejector airtime.

Went on this ride yesterday and it was amazing!

One of the best rides there now! Loved every second of it!

[@morganwilliams5591]

This coaster is so f--king good man I was terrified to ride it the first time but I was only really scared of the damn vertical drop and the rest of it looked fun af so I forced myself to go on it and BOI. It's easily my new favorite ride at the park. The only issue was that every time it would come to a stop at the end for some reason my legs would cramp RIDICULOUSLY hard, not sure if it was from the position of the seat or if I was just sensitive that day but DAMN. But yeah this coaster is 10/freaking 10 would highly recommend

[@morganfreemanward3729]

Its an even more experience when in person at night time with the boys

[@hwalnut7202]

This ride is awesome! However there is only one major problem with this ride and it is MAJOR. The seatbelts that go over your shoulders dig into your shoulders during all of the airtime moments, so it is really painful at those parts. It's still fun at the same time, but painful.

[@AngryGumball]

The seatbelts have more give now, hugely improved the experience.

[@hwalnut7202]

AngryGumball Yeah I rode it again recently and it is so much better. It still hurts my shoulders but VERY mildly now

[@oneandonlysound3453]

sounds like RMC 4sure. There trains on their topper or iron horse conversions need some padding on the sides, and every ejector airtime hill feels like your legs are going to break off. Maybe someone else should design trains for RMC's

[@starlashine8342]

I grew up at Great America, rode this when I was 7, terrifying, but fun. Idk if I'll ever have the guts to do it again, the single seat is terrifying to me, bit it's also a lot of fun. Idk lol

[@coreylineberry8557]

You must love the Rocky Mountain intensity.

[@SS-xs1tg]

If they relocate the rides which I'm sure Cedar Fair will...I'm hoping Michigan's Adventure will get one of the coasters. This one honestly seems like the most plausible one. The rider capacity of the B&Ms are too high for the park and they would be sending mostly empty trains during the weekdays. The small layout and the one person trains and easier maintenance makes this perfect for the park. Wishful thinking though.

[@NightDragon01]

Michigan's Adventure is actually the most likely pick for railblazer, so probably not wishful thinking
