Roar Review

We're here at Six Flags Discovory Kingdom. Today, we're here to review Roar. Once you get in the trains and pull down the orange lap bar, away we go. We roll through a turn and down a small drop. It's fun. We then go through a small bump before heading up the lifthill. At the top of the lifthill, you get a nice view of Six Flags Discovory Kingdom. But then, we get pulled down a nice twisty spiral drop. That drop gives a bit of speed. We then rise up a big hill and then start to get pulled down another twisty drop, leaving us with quite a bit of speed. We then twist up into a big airtime hill. You get a little floater air during this hill. (For a GCI, that's very impressive.) We then drop back down. We then rise back up and head straight into a turn. This big swooping turn gives us a bit of laterals. (And a sweet view of V2.) You then get a really good pop of ejector air as you plunge down a drop. (Smile for the onride photo BTW.) You slam through a turn before popping out of your seat through another airtime hill. You then get pinned to the side as you go through a big swooping turn. We then fly through a shed. And in that shed, we get what? If you guessed airtime, that's correct. You get some good airtime during this part of Roar. And it's even cooler since it's in a shed. We then pop out of the shed and into a nice big swooping turn. (And get more cool V2 views.) We go through a couple dips as we keep turning, but then, we dip back down to the ground, go through one final turn, go through a couple more bunny hops, and then, we finally come into the brake run. Roar is a fantastic GCI. It's currently my 2nd favorite GCI with Terminator just being slightly better. I would totally recommend you ride this if you're at Six Flags Discovory Kingdom. It's a fantastic ride.
