This large scale terrain twister coaster operates as the signature attraction at Alabama Adventure. It's an aggressive ride that some may like, but others might not be as impressed with. What did we think? Here's what we have to say!

"This coaster is a TERRAIN coaster." "If you are a big fan of laterals, you will be getting plenty of that on Rampage." Me, who has Beast, Ravine Flyer, Legend, Raven, and Twister in my top 15: It's showtime

@eliasmertens9313 4 года назад

Personally, I LOVE laterals mixed with airtime in my woodies, and that’s why CCI is my favorite coaster manufacturer and that’s why my top three favorite wooden coasters are 1. Legend 2. Rampage 3. Beast. Like those three rides just feel so wild and out of control. They are incredible to me, plus I don’t mind a little roughness

CCI is the most underrated roller coaster manufacturer. Up there with GCI

@user-yn1bd4yf3h 4 года назад

Tie Dough since I'm a lateral fan, it's great to have Oakwood as my home park where Megafobia is. Also, not far from Oakwood is Folly Farm, which has one of the best waltzers I've seen in terms of force.

@reillywalker195 4 года назад

The engineers from CCI are still active, too. They reformed as the Gravity Group and still make some of the best wooden coasters today.

@tiedough7481 4 года назад

Reilly Walker some are in gci too if I’m right. I like to think they are PTC on crack. Weird airtime pops, some of the rides can be unbearable and others are glass smooth. And laterals ofc. I’m sad that excalibur at Funtown Splashtown is closed and look forward to get on that in 2021

@ItsSiebay 4 года назад

GCI would be higher up if they made more rides like Mystic Timbers. I get they're known for laterals, but a bit more airtime would be nice.

@reillywalker195 4 года назад

@@tiedough7481 Yes. GCI was founded in the 1990s by two men who left CCI early on. When CCI collapsed, I believe some of the company's staff went to GCI while others went on to create the Gravity Group.

@bcargile16 4 года назад

I remember when this first opened, when Alabama Adventure was known as Visionland. It was my first major coaster and definitely sparked my love for roller coasters. Ive always loved this coaster and one thing you will notice is when you get to the park you will normally hear it before you see it. It went several years standing but not operating before the new owners took over the park. When I rode it again after the years of it being closed, I had forgotten how intense it was especially in the back car but the front section of seats.

@coasterdaddy7123 4 года назад

I love these old CCIs and want to get around to all of them eventually. I definitely can't wait to try this one out. I've been wanting to ride it for some time!

@huntzzio Год назад

Very underrated coaster in my opinion. I loved it! The blend of laterals and airtime was very good and I loved it. But yes that one part is ridiculously rough. If you’re coming down on I-20 from another state further west, you can stop at alabama adventure and then go down I-20 and stay at a hotel near six flags over georgia

@AdamSmith-gs2dv 2 года назад

It's been retracked this year and now this ride is kick ass. Has all the laterals of the Legend (minus the helix) and all the air time of the Raven in one package. I'd rank it somewhere between the two: ahead of Raven and slightly behind Legend for not having the insane helix.

@51gary51 4 года назад

For the past 18 years, RAMPAGE has been my home coaster. Trust me when I say that your total score of "7" may be accurate for the morning rides that you experienced (before the train and the tracks had broken-in for the day, which we all know wood coasters have to do). Had you stayed around for late-afternoon rides, you would have experienced a totally different coaster -- as different as night and day. By mid-afternoon, RAMPAGE runs like a bat out of hell. The forces you mentioned liking -- negative G's and laterals -- are greatly intensified as is the overall speed. Had you ridden it later in the day, your final score would have surely been raised to at least an 8 or possibly higher. Here's hoping you'll one day be back in the South to give RAMPAGE another chance.

@DragonBallzOfSteel 4 года назад

Like I said this isn’t nearly a accurate review overall. If you leave before mid day there’s no possible way you’ve experienced a wooden coasters actual potential.

@CoasterStudios 4 года назад

We did ride it in the mid afternoon, and yes it was running more aggressive.

@ScrewyLoops 4 года назад

Great video! 🙂 I've done Megafobia a fair few times, and must admit the drop (at that back) is ridiculous! So I can only imagine how wild it is on Rampage. I find CCI's to be vastly smoother on the front though, it's always a tough decision when you hit the station... 🤔

@DragonBallzOfSteel 4 года назад

Really happy to see just how ridiculous I look off-ride 😂( 2:21 ) just to confirm I would NEVER stand,I will however purposely get a one click in order to achieve standing airtime.

What is it with rides being named after little kids getting upset? Tantrum? Rampage? What’s next, Pouting?

@leareed3749 4 года назад

Rampage... is a synonym to "war path", "large-scale destruction", etc honestly. I would never look at a kid and be like "oh he's on a rampage" lol theres actual war happening where political leaders are on a rampage destroying the earth in the process, for example. A tantrum is just a throwing a fit to me... a rampage is actual destruction.

@deutschundachterbahnen5105 4 года назад

Just a suggestion for future coaster reviews. You should talk about you’re favorite seat on the coasters. You hit on it in this one, but in some others, you didn’t say, like Intimidator 305. Anyways, great review and happy you got to go here!

@CoasterStudios 4 года назад

The i305 review is several years old. I try to in all the reviews I do now to mention my favorite seat.

@Xfireworksonline 4 года назад

Great review. My home park. I agree with everything you said. That valley area is so bad and jarring. They need to reprofile it. But really what this coaster needs more than anything is the rmc treatment. However that may never happen given thr tiny budget this park has for improvements.

@antoinelawson3691 3 года назад

I haven't ridden rampage in a while since like early 2000s but surely remember the intensity of it I plan on going back sometime soon in the near future and I'm pretty sure that they know that they need to invest a bit more to turn things around a bit more and like you/he was saying and fill in some gaps and spruce things up a bit more or actually a lot more to be exact but I think that they will more sooner than later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@alexlents4689 2 года назад

Keep in mind that the ride was basically abandoned from 2012 to 2014, and even before that, the park had gone bankrupt and been sold too many times to count, so I imagine the ride was in pretty rough shape from neglect by the time the Koch’s took over.

@jackhohe4147 4 года назад

I’m very surprised that Taylor is not too enthusiastic about laterals, mostly because I305 is at his home park

@CoasterStudios 4 года назад

i305 isn't really heavy on the laterals, because all the turns are heavily banked. Not the same thing.

@maxhagenauer24 4 года назад

If it is banked a lot, then you would get more positive G Force but if it is not so banked then you get more laterals. I305 turns are very banked so they are ment more for the positive G Force.

@alexlents4689 2 года назад

I think it should get a GhostRider-esque overhaul, with Millennium Flyers and all. As is, its solid. What really makes a ride timeless is the layout. That’s why rides like GhostRider (and most CCIs), and even oldies like the Coney Island Cyclone and The Beast (Yeah that’s right, internet! EAT IT!! The ending death helix is insane, and it’s got tunnels and ground hugging galore, all surrounded by woods.) have held up so well, while rides like Mean Streak (and most Dinn coasters in general, which if not for the roughness, you could probably take a nap on) aged like cheese, cuz once that track started getting rough, there was nothing interesting to bring people back. Luckily, for the most part, Id say Rampage falls into the former. category. Great name, to! appropriate and unique. It really is an assault on your senses (in the best way possible) as it charges over the hills.

@ralphcantrell3214 3 года назад

Rampage might be my favorite coaster. It is a top notch wooden coaster with a huge fun factor. It has all the elements you want in a great woodie and yet it doesn't beat you down like many of the others. Another big bonus is the fact that there are hardly ever any stupid long lines, meaning you can easily ride it many times on almost any visit to the park and do all the different places on the train - front, back and middle. There's a great water park too. Anyone within striking distance should don their bathing suits and spend a day there.
