What can I say - its my fav steel coaster and #2 on my all-time list. Since El Toro is #1 it only makes sense that SRoS be right behind the wild bull. Great climb & drop (sit in the back row on the left overlooking the river), cool tunnels (a little mist on a hot day) & that air time! A true 10 if there ever was one!

I LOVE hypercoasters and while this one was fun, I couldn't believe the hype it receives, went on it numerous times and never had the air time that lots of people here talk about.

Wow! What can I say!
After queuing for over an hour for scream I thought “F*ck it! Get a fast pass”. Well worth the cash as the next ride we went on was this and we only had to wait 10 min!
I was shaking with anticipation as we got on. I was breathing like a pervert on a telephone as we ascended that first drop. And then….
Holy sh*t! That first drop is awesome, as you drop down over the hump and look down you think the track is broken because it descends right into a hole in the ground!
Then its scream after scream, through the second tunnel and a cooling mist (nice on a hot July day) and out. Wow.
If you in the area its worth going to six flags just for this ride. Be warned, with out fast pass it would have been over an hour wait.

This is a great example of Intamin's awesome work. The view over the lift hill, the great airtime, the frist drop into the tunnel, and the powerful helixes at the end make this a great ride. Never lets up till the very last second the magnetic brakes stop the train.

best ride in the world.i like how all the other buildings are like city buildings in NYC and the superman movies take place in NYC so the buildings and then superman are good aspects.but it does have down sides:1.dirty station.2:with flash pass sometimes they keep on opening the chain to the station to only the people in the quene which is stupid.3:the flash pass there is the gayest because it has to be like 1 minute or it dosent take it.4:long wait for the flash pass.ex.u put it in at 11 and you will have to wait until like 1.5:not much of the ride has scenery like all it has is tunnels and mist thats it.and the rest is just ride

Went on this coaster a few weeks ago after hearing how good it was. Gave it 3 rides to make sure of my opinion and thought it was ok. I like Nitro a lot better. SROS isn't as smooth. There is this weird little rumble as it goes over the track. It is a good ride just not what I thought it would be.

Like nothing else I have ever seen. Amazing airtime, great tunnels, fun helices, it rattles quite a bit, but in a good way, it makes the ride feel more powerfull. In the end of the twister section, you wish it would stop, not because it's painfull or boring, but because it is just too much. Just amazing, and it will leave you hungry for more. I've never rode it at night, but it must be unbelivable. 10 out of 10, and probably the best coaster ever built, although El Toro looks pretty good too.

For me, this is the perfect coaster. Glorious floating airtime, twists, turns, a tunnel - it has it all. This is the coaster I'll remember on my death bed.

My favorite steel coaster. Absolutely incredible ride. It has 2 spots of great floater, 5 moments of great ejector, 2 strong helixes, 2 great underground tunnels, and overall the best pure layout in the world.

Meant to originally give it a ten, not an 8. This ride is vicious.

Too much hype for the ride. It wasn't as perfect as everyone made it out to be.

Great ride! One of the best rides I have ever riden. The speed is great, the airtime is sick and the tunnels are awesome. There are however a couple of things I don't like. The trains are a bit cramped, I am rather tall [6'6"] so I don't have much leg room. Also, according to www.rcdb.com you must be between 54" and 76" to ride. I haven't been there in a few years, but I am now over 76" and apparently no longer allowed to ride SROS. Although this has more air and elements then MF, I can't give it a 10 due to my love for sheer speed and the fact that I am no longer able to ride it.

Best coaster out there! Not the tallest / fastest, but the speed never lets down going over the hills, thru the tunnels, and even into the final turn and brake run. This is WAY better than MF. AIRTIME over ALL of the hills, not just 1. awesome layout not just overbanked turn, followed by almost forceless hill.

V Granted, MF has downtime from time to time, as does every coaster, but it is nowhere near what it was when MF first opened. Nowadays, downtime is usually at most a week, maybe a week and a half at most, for the whole season.
And from the sounds of things, S:RoS doesn't do much better than that at all.

Why was Yesum's rating removed? My only complaint about this ride is the down-time. It's not as bad as MF's but almost every time I go for the front seat, BREAK DOWN! It's so annoying.

Amazing ride...beats anything I've been on by a HUGE margin (Nitro, Dragons, Hulk, etc). Yesum you should be killed for giving it a 7 just because you 'got sick before'.

This was great coaster....once I got on it. My group was about to get loaded on when the front restrant got stuck. But w/e once I got on it i thought it was great. The drops and bank turns were. All and all a smooth coaster all the way through
