Glad y’all finally visit the Bullet. Loved operating that coaster. I operated from 2014-2019. The person at the Panel is one of my good friends. Glad he got his chance to be on this review and be in the video. The coaster has improved since the retracking was done. I have to ride it one more time before it’s Rehab period starts starting next month before the open it up for the 2023 Spring Break season. I usual ride it at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. Been a big thing for me since I left in 2019.
I’m going back from the boardwalk rn…..I rode the coaster and I was screaming the whole way.There was a very sharp corner and I hit my ear on the side of the cart! I don’t think I will be riding again……
It is truly amazing how much track they were able to fit into that limited amount of space. That Coaster looks aggressive and exciting. Thank you for another cool video of a coaster I will likely never ride but, have always wondered about. You're The Best!
After the retracking it underwent, I gotta say that this has gotten so much more insane and amazing! Can't go wrong with a coaster designed by The Gravity Group.
I love wooden rollercoasters like this where it keeps collapsing in on itself and going further and deeper within the structure getting more and more claustrophobic. Looks like amazing fun!
I love the Boardwalk Bullet. Goes to show what you can do in such a tight piece of real estate. I remember seeing it under construction and couldn't believe that it was going to be more than a "kiddie" coaster, but Landry's (the parent company that owns Kemah Boardwalk and a number of restaurant brands) really did it right - goes to show that when a company focuses on creating an attraction that draws guests and keeps them coming back will do wonders compared to parks that know the guests will come even if they don't maintain it - they keep that ride running in tip-top shape. In the times I rode it before I moved out of Houston (10 years ago), I was never disappointed, and based on your reactions Rob, I wouldn't be disappointed if I rode it today.
I am SO glad this ride has started getting the recognition it deserves. Nobody knew of this thing for the longest time, and then thoosies here on RU-vid put it in the spotlight big time. It deserves every ride! Good job Gravity Group!
I went to the Kemah Boardwalk with my school's First Robotics team the day after the championship for a fun day before we left back home and this was the first ride I went on, and I absolutely loved it. I rode it 6 times in the 3 hour s that we were there. It's my first wood coaster, and it was so fun. It was fast but smooth, and as the day went on it was getting faster and faster. Next time I go to Houston, I'm definitely visiting again. It's amazing how tight of a space the Gravity Group had to work with, but they did one hell of a job.
This roller coaster might not be as scary as the big ones on Six Flags but don't overestimate either, the speed is almost nonstop and it actually last a long time, I love it.
We rode a few years ago and man it was butter smooth for a wooden coaster! I was expecting the worst and come off thinking it might be the best wooden coaster in the state! Texas Stingray is pretty good over at San Antonio but a night ride on the Bullet is hard to beat!!
I never heard of this beautiful coaster before. Where is it located? Thank you for introducing it to us folks who never heard of it before. That coaster looks FANTASTIC 👌. IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS VERY SMOOTH. How fast does it go? It looks like its very fast. I agree with the comments, and i agree w the person who gave credit to the builders for building a monster coaster like that in a small area. One mite think with the lack of space, the curves would be to tight,and could cause the train to run slow and be to rough to cause aches and pains. But, they built it the right way, and the curves are awesome, With lots of straights and excellent twists and turns. It looks like a real fun time.
It's at Kemah Boardwalk, near Houston/League City, TX. Top speed isn't super-fast at 51 mph, but winding through the support structure definitely adds to the sense of speed, and the pacing (intervals between elements), more important than speed IMO, is impeccable. It has been retracked more than once, and each time has smoothed it out quite a bit. I think that the POV from the back really shows how smooth it is now. Obviously not glass-smooth but that's kind of the point of woodies. I'm in my 50s and have had a lower back injury, but I could still marathon this all day without issues. Definitely in my top 10 for wood coasters and probably top 25 overall.
@@phoenixshade3 hello sir, thank you for that great info. I did read it was in texas and that it was retracked. But your info is much more informative, thanks. Im 55 w low back pains too, and i would still ride coasters if i went to the parks. I love woodies better than the new coaters. I did notice how nice the track looks. It looks very smooth. I cant believe its only 51 mph, except i hade a feeling that it couldnt be that fast in that small, tight area. But, wow, you are right about the twists and turns making it look fast and it wouldnt matter because of the excitement we will have when riding it. Thank you, i hope that you feel better. Merry Christmas Glen
Growing up in League City TX, I was always super scared to ride this coaster so I never did. Currently live in SoCal and have been to Disneyland/California Adventure probably 6 times just this year alone with the Incredicoaster now being my favorite coaster. Next time I'm back in Htown later this year I plan on finally riding this coaster. Let's see what I've been missing out on this whole time!
It already is worth the trip to Kemah alone, lol, I hope it never gets RMCed and I really don’t think it ever will, Kemah takes very good care of this ride and it’s IMO the best coaster in Texas.
Hope it stays all wooden as they'res only two wooden coasters in texas since Texas Cyclone from astroworld got demolished in 2005 and original Texas Giant turned into a RMC new Texas Giant in 2011!
