Coaster Kingdom's star ratings don't commend speed, height or intensity, but how the ride meets its own criteria.



.
Distinct: Our strongest recommendation. This ride isn't just great by default, and goes that extra mile.


.
Unmissable: This ride offers pretty much everything that could be asked of it


.
Great Ride: Just a few things detract from the ride meaning it misses out on the full score


.
Good Ride: Enjoyable ride, but doesn't entirely satisfy it's target audience. Worth riding, but not worth visiting the park especially for.


.
Passable Ride: Often not worth queuing for, although the ride has a diet-sized portion of potential


.
Miss It:
Not worth even riding. The ride misses the mark and leaves the target audience unimpressed
