Pure Bliss. Loved every moment of this coaster. There's some good hang in the Loop which gives the illusion that you're going to hit the ground for a second in the front seat. Not as Intense G-Force wise as hyped, but the speed never lets up. 10/10 for me!

Patriot is AWESOME in every way.
First of all, it's fast-paced. The speed through this ride actually shocked me a little!
Second, it's intense. After all those people said it would be forceless, too. Positives and negatives everywhere. It's insane.
Finally, it's smooth. And boy, is it smooth. Patriot is about as smooth as Millennium Force, and that is saying a lot.
Overall, it's by far the best ride in the park. WoF is no longer in the same league as MIA and/or Valleyfair!

It's perfect. It's the best they could have done better to replace the former Orient Express.

This is one awesome coaster! it's so smooth and so much fun!!! The front is the best seat (you can actually see what's going on). Ride at night.
