Absolutely coasters. They’re more coaster than something like Superman: Escape from Krypton at SFMM. Tidal Twister is not a coaster, though.

It's the ever existing question on such short powered railed rides. Is this a coaster? Is the Bayernkurve a coaster? Was the classic "Katapult" from Germany a coaster? Is the Alpenexpress Enzian in Europa Park (or every other similar powered coaster) a coaster? In my opinion: If you call larger powered coasters a rollercoaster, you have to call rides like Tidal Twister a rollercoaster too. Because taking the length as a critical differentiator would count out short rollercoasters like whacky worms and many other very short children coasters.

@@Emonadeo By my given definition: yes, these have to be counted as coasters too. As said: It's hard to draw a logical sounding line on that definition. You can't logically dismiss by length, you can't dismiss by launch or power type. This way, it might be a bit weird, but Larson Loops or Sunkid Butterflies...are rollercoasters!

Being one who loves hangtime on coasters.. I’ve got a bad feeling I would actually like this thing. But it is as much of a roller coaster as those Music Express rides.

This ride is now getting removed after it “tore it self apart” according to an article I read

My question is if the people at Skyline attractions have ever actually ridden a good amusement ride before

I definitely agree with you guys that it's not necessarily a coaster. I rode this a couple months ago and definitely determined that it was a "one-and-done" attraction. It sounds and feels like it should be at traveling fairs rather than a solid establishment at an amusement park. But hey, kind of a unique credit in the long run.

I visited SeaWorld San Diego last April and this thing looked abandoned and it wasn’t even on the map they gave us. I honestly thought this was gone for sure. Didn’t have a chance to ride it, but it looks like that was a good thing.

Seems to me there is no gravity induced speedchange and thus not a rollercoaster.... powered coaster do go faster when going down so those are rollercoasters

Glorified flat ride

Technically I say no. A Rollercoaster is supposed to go on its own with the assistance of gravity after the lift, launch etc. Any ride powered isn't truly a rollercoaster imo. Dictionary definition: a small gravity railroad, especially in an amusement park, having a train with open cars that moves along a high, sharply winding trestle built with steep inclines that produce sudden, speedy plunges for thrill-seeking passengers.

IT'S NOT A COASTER! Oh my god.

Not a coaster as it's continuously powered by drive wheels and at no point is it ever actually coasting. It's closer to a powered track ride, though it does not use train-mounted motor, which is common among powered coasters. This is not a coaster the same way a Ring-o-Fire isn't a coaster.

It does actually coast without external energy applied for a few seconds at a time, unlike a Larson Loop that is a controlled powered rotation. Now that technically means it counts but it's a stretch because you only have a few seconds where it isn't powered at a time. If we are really straining the definitions we can come up with all sorts of technicalities. For example, a lot of people include Alpine coasters as credits which is perfectly fair. And most people consider bobsled coasters as coasters. Well if you count both of those then what about Alpine Slides? Those are basically the bobsled version of Alpine coasters and they have a track, wheels and move based on momentum without being powered. So are they credits? I mean, if you are only using rigid definitions without any attention to the big picture then you might actually count them. But I can't imagine anyone counting those. If they did then riding a shopping cart down a track would also count as a credit and then we've devolved into chaos.

What are those shoulder restraints? That looks so uncomfortable.

It looks like a hellish combination of a Larson Loop and a Bayern Kurve.

I would say no personally, but I can definitely say it was not fun. Stunningly rough for using RMC track. Probably the OTS restraints.
