Runaway Mountain

Fantastic indoor roller coaster. Think Flight of Fear but smoother and less aggressive. It’s a little toasty in the roller coaster part of the building on a hot day but the cue is air conditioned. There’s a single rider line too. The ride ops were doing a great job of getting people in and out fast.

Update from 10/27 visit: I was surprised how much light they have allowed in the ride building over the years. Either the load or unload station is letting in a ton of light, which just ruins the experience of riding in the dark. Previous review A ride I have always enjoyed, though it's placement ruined a nice avenue through the park and removed my beloved Spinnaker. My last visit on 7/28/24 was a frustrating experience. The line was about a dozen people outside of the building but I was still stopped at the Flashpass entry point anyway. No big deal, I'll wait. Then no movement for 15 minutes. Next, a family came up to the Flashpass entry and asked the crew member how long the wait was. He told them 15 minutes from here, which if you know how much longer the line is inside, you know that's inaccurate. I left the line, but not before warning the guests they would be waiting much more than 15 minutes. Now, there may have been maintenance issues that slowed the line that day but giving guests an obviously inaccurate expectation is poor customer service.

This ride is a great dark rollercoaster. It goes at 40 Mph and has 4 drops giving some good whip and airtime especially in the back car. The signature element of this ride is the one steep twisty drop that gives a combination of good airtime, laterals, g forces, and whip. Then the helixes give good forces. And all of this takes place in the dark. I’m gonna rate this ride an 8 out of 10 I just wish all the drops were steep and it’s just not perfect but it’s good. Overall I recommend this ride.

Please allow me to start by saying, I am an adrenaline junkie. If you're just coming to enjoy your time with family or children, this could potentially be a great choice for you. It's been 10 years since riding this coaster. I chose the fast pass tonight as a part of my membership perks. I didn't have to wait in a line, one two people in front of me. This visit I was solo so I got to enjoy the first row to myself. I've got to say, I'm not sure why but this ride used to get heart racing. The waiting in line through a "cave", riding through the dark indoors, this year the addition of Christmas music and a few lights, I'm not sure why... but I will not find myself running towards this one anymore. It's over pretty quickly and though it feels like you're riding nearly on your side for some turns, overall this ride is lacking for me.
