Who knew that there was this entire world of roller coaster nerds out there, who take their roller coastering extremely seriously? I mean don’t get me wrong, I love a good ‘coaster, and I will also happily use the term “‘coaster” in conversation as though it’s a normal term to be using and not, in fact, an extremely sad abbreviation – but there are people who seem to revolve their lives around the latest and greatest ‘coasters. Which like fair enough – roller coasters are fun and great and a life spent riding them is not too shabby in my opinion.
Anyway, said roller coasterers were absolutely out in force over the weekend, because Disneyland opened a new ride, the Incredicoaster.

It’s technically NOT entirely new – it replaces the California Screamin’ rollercoaster in Disney’s California Adventure Park. Obviously, it’s Incredibles-themed to tie in with Incredibles 2, which was released last weekend. While the ‘coaster (see, I’m totally getting away with it) is essentially the same loops and twists, it features new special effects, music, and new scenes.

Reviews are mixed, and seem to centre around the time of day you go and whether the music is playing.

The incredicoaster was honestly worth waiting like 2 hours. Way better then California Screamin ( sadly ). It was faster and smoother 😭

Incredicoaster round 2
This time, at NIGHT, and with fully functional and LOUD onboard audio.
And wow. All the difference was made.
It’s no Expedition Everest, in terms of Disney coaster standards, but it really was an exhilarating improvement over California Screamin’ 🤔 pic.twitter.com/XsKoeDLhHz

Yes Incredicoaster is better at night. But after 3 times today, I’m going to say something I honestly didn’t expect to say today. I like California Screamin better overall.
