I loved this ride when I did it and is a great length for a coaster. However, apart from the big drop and end section, this ride is pretty slow in my opinion. Although sometimes slow, I love the backwards section and the suspense when you're held at the end of the track. I love the theme and the ride being in a massive mountain which definitely makes the coaster look amazing. The queue line usually not too long and I love the part where you go through the museum room and get to look at things from the yeti museum in Anandapur. Overall, a great ride and a perfect coaster for animal kingdom. I rate it 4 stars.

My first B&M Hyper and my personal favourite. This ride is always lots of fun and has lots of airtime moments. The first drop is great especially on the back row but I think the end of the ride is definitely quite slow and not very thrilling in comparison to the rest of the ride. Always has a short wait time though and overall is a very fun coaster. I rate this 4 and a 1/2 stars.

The dragon is the classic family ride that features in many Legoland parks around the world. The queue being inside the castle is cool and the start of the ride is almost like a dark ride which I love. Definitely my favourite part of the ride is when you pass through the different scenes of lego characters before the first drop. The coaster is pretty forceless and isn't very thrilling but is perfect for younger guests. I rate it 2 and 1/2 stars.

The ride started my journey as a coaster-enthusiast. This coaster really started the coaster industry in the UK. Built in 1990, it still remains although nearly shutting down a couple of times. This suspended-swinging coaster flies through the forest, weaving in between trees. I love the station, the queue line and the piano-man animatronic who stills remains to this day. It is great fun although definitely it shows it's age. The track could do with a re-paint and I think the ride needs a re-track as it is a tad rough. Despite the age, it's a fun family coaster and definitely paved the way to allow for coasters like nemesis and oblivion to be built.

Wicker Man is the newest coaster at Towers and is definitely my favourite in the park. The coaster combines wood and fire which definitely makes the coaster unique. The pre-show is one of my favourites in the UK and I love the station and the queue-line. Most of the ride is visible from the queue which builds anticipation. My favourite part of the ride is when you go through the giant wicker statue which looks spectacular off-ride and is definitely the most iconic part of the ride. However, the ride does contains a few dead spots especially towards the end. Overall, it's probably the best night-time ride in the UK and is overall a solid coaster. 4 and 1/2 stars.

I think tron doesn't deserve the hate it gets. It has been disney's most recent investment but I feel like it's compared to cosmic rewind alot. This is because cosmic rewind opened in 2022 and left people with very high expectations for tron. Don't get me wrong, this is in no way the longest coaster or the most comfortable but in my eyes is still lots of fun. It is my first (and only) motorbike coaster and definitely has a unique feelings because you feel so free in the restraint. Some people may not enjoy this but I think it makes it better. The ride also looks very visually pleasing at night and fits in well with the tomorrow land area. Overall, I give it 4 stars.

What a masterpiece of a coaster from Intamin and Universal. This ride deserves to be in the top 3 in the world and is a thrill-seekers perfect coaster. 80 seconds of non-stop thrills and I was out of my seat the entire time. The elements on this ride are insane. From the stall, mosasaurus roll or the many airtime hills and overbanks, you are thrown about and hanging out of your seat. The theming is incredible. You pass velociraptors, weave in and out of terrain and foliage and truly feel immersed in the storyline. Easily the best ride in all of Florida and is overall just an incredible coaster.

The Hagrid's coaster in universal has to be the best family coaster in the world. The coaster includes seven launches, beyond vertical spike, drop track, on-board audio and insane theming. The ride has custom voiceovers from Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) which really makes you feel like you're in the movies. Throughout the ride, you come face to face with many animatronics. These include Fluffy the Three-Headed Dog, Unicorns, Centaurs and my favourites, Hagrid and the Blast-Ended Skrewts. Although I love this ride, queuing for it could be more enjoyable. The ride constantly suffers from a long wait time (70 mins+). The queue line also isn't very enjoyable with most of it going through cramped caves and corridors. Some of it is even outside with no shade. However, this ride is easily a world-class attraction and was definitely a good investment from the park.

One of the most fun coasters I've ever been on. The queueline is spectacular and the pre-show is amazing. This is one of the longest coasters I've ever been on and almost feels like a modern space mountain. I love the fact you can get different songs each time makes this ride really re-rideable. I went on it twice and got one way or another and the conga. However, one downside of this ride is that it's still on a virtual queue meaning you'll be very lucky to do it twice in one day. Sometimes you can't even get on it once!

I have very mixed feelings about Saw: The Ride. I have rode it many times and each time there are some things I feel after each ride. The theming on the indoor section and queue line is great. There are many easter eggs for saw fans such as the angel trap used in the filming of Saw 3. The atmosphere also makes you excited for the ride. From police sirens to the occasional announcements from Billy, you are immersed in the ride's storyline even before even entering the station. In the station, two trains are dispatched at once and one passes the small pre-show and heads straight through the indoor section while the other stops. The pre-show is nothing much but makes you even more nervous and continues to build the atmosphere. After the pre-show has finished, the second train heads through a near-vertical drop before stopping at a block section and then proceeding through another drop and heartline roll (my personal favourite inversion). The train then heads outside and you climb up the vertical chainlift before descending the beyond-vertical 100ft drop. The train speeds through an immelmann, dive-loop and an airtime which lifts you out of your seat. You speed through a turn and stop at a block section then head down another small but very steep drop. The layout is finished another dive-loop and hits the brake run. My main criticisms for this ride is it can be rough at times. However, this is only after the first drop and the indoor section remains quite smooth. I find that the roughness of this ride varies ride to ride as sometimes there is alot of headbanging and other times it isn't as bad. Personally, I still find it to be the scariest ride at Thorpe, especially for first-ride riders. However, I think this will change when Hyperia opens next door.
