Stealth is an awesome ride. It's the textbook definition of "one trick pony", but the one thing that it does do is executed so well that it ranks among my favourite roller coasters of all time. Looking down the launch in the front row brings great anticipation, the launch itself is unreal, the drop off the top hat is SO good in every single row and the airtime hill is a good way to round things off. It's intensely rerideable, what are you doing if you go to Thorpe and only ride Stealth once?

Fantastic theming, actual sense of fear in the station, violent transitions and THREE moments of ejector airtime. What a fantastic ride. I won't forget that this ride, while it can be smooth, can also...

Fantastic theming, actual sense of fear in the station, violent transitions and THREE moments of ejector airtime. What a fantastic ride. I won't forget that this ride, while it can be smooth, can also be very aggressive and "too much" for some people. It's been pretty consistently smooth for me over the past few years with my last properly "bad" ride being all the way back in 2020. It has admittedly lost a bit of the intensity that it used to have in my first few years of riding it, but I guess that's to be expected with bigger and bigger rides as I start getting on better coasters. Don't get me wrong, Saw is still great and an awesome UK roller coaster! I'm so happy the midcourse brake run isn't trimmed too, it makes for a brilliant finale with the harshest ejector pop on the ride straight into the most intense part, a tiny dive loop that you take at super speed. Thorpe - don't EVER touch this bit, it's perfect as is.

Am I overranking this a bit? Probably, but this ride is just such a vibe. The music in the station fits the ride well, and the ops have great taste in music too. Others find big flaws in the restraint system, and this may be a uniqueness bias that I have, but I also had great fun with these restraints. The theming does leave a bit to be desired outside of the trains & station, and the ride is a bit short, but it's still enjoyable. I also wish it was able to operate more than one train

The second half absolutely carries the coaster. The first half is trimmed to death absolutely everywhere and it feels more like you're waiting for the second half. I understand it's a family coaster but the first half could at least have something to it considering how good the second half is. The trim on the first drop hit so hard I actually felt a bit queasy on it, that was pretty uncomfortable. Just give me the indoor bit please.

While people say that Oblivion is "too short" I would instead argue that the ride's length is perfectly fine for what it is. The theming does a good job anticipating "the big drop" which is what the e...

While people say that Oblivion is "too short" I would instead argue that the ride's length is perfectly fine for what it is. The theming does a good job anticipating "the big drop" which is what the entire ride is based around. Anything other than the drop would simply just feel out of place. It's a great adrenaline rush that never gets much of a queue, making it highly rerideable. I love how the ride doesn't pull out from the first drop until it's underground, so spectators from offride don't see that bit. Big fan of that. I don't think a ride like this will ever be built again, and that's quite sad actually. Quick but sweet rides with bigass tunnels that probably took up the majority of the budget, you simply don't get them any more.

Scotland didn't treat this one well. Lots of shuffling around, useless OTSRs that do nothing, and uncomfortable valleys. Was definitely expecting worse but that doesn't mean it's not the raw definition of 'one and done'. It has absolutely no place in the park and is just a bit of a stinker that has no reason to be there. Although I did enjoy the helix, a little bit, it doesn't save the ride in any way. Leave the queue and go do... any other coaster in the park. You don't need to ride this if you don't count credits. I promise.

Very enjoyable wooden coaster but ends quickly, great fun! Got quick pops of air even in the morning. The queue is a draaaag on one train sadly, but I imagine things would move slightly faster if they...

Very enjoyable wooden coaster but ends quickly, great fun! Got quick pops of air even in the morning. The queue is a draaaag on one train sadly, but I imagine things would move slightly faster if they put a second one on.

The layout is good. I hate this ride for what it stands for. The gutting of an extremely fun family attraction for an abhorrently cheap looking zombie theme that rips the ride of all its character and fun for nothing. During the indoor walkthrough, theoretically your tension level should be SKY high but instead you feel. Absolutely. NOTHING. I loved X, a fantastically fun indoor lightshow with happy music, a feelgood attraction guaranteed to put a smile on your face, a dance through colour. The Walking Dead - The Ride destroys all of this for what, a cheap IP for a dying franchise that loses relevancy by the minute? From the bright colours and effects to literally just nothing. Pure black, the most significant downgrade from anything I have ever personally experienced at a park. I've sworn off ever riding this again until either they make drastic improvements to the current IP, or gut it entirely again for a theme that suits the ride. An utterly pointless ride when Saw literally exists a five minute walk away. Bring back the disco, or at least a theme that can suit the family coaster that it is. Something that doesn't make me think I just wasted half an hour of my day when I walk through the exit corridor.

After a truly insane cycle on the Capriolo (Airmaxx), I immediately went on this without a break and because of that I deserved the miserable time I had on this thing. I was almost sick on this Go Gator because it was already building up from Airmaxx, and I'm pretty sure the op actually only did 7/10 circuits. He definitely knew what was up, and Kudos to him. I gave him the classic thank you with a thumbs up and went my way after I was done. The Airmaxx was worth it though, I just need to learn that "speedrunning" a park can sometimes have it's consequences. It's a fun coaster model don't get me wrong, and this low ranking is not the fault of the hardware, it's just this review serves as more of a warning if you think it's a good idea to jump immediately from one of the most intense flats ever to a coaster no matter how small with no break in between the two.

I did this 11 years ago now when I was 7 or 8 at a local fair, and it STILL stands as the worst roller coaster I have ever done. The trackwork is poor. The transitions are painful. The most violent he...

I did this 11 years ago now when I was 7 or 8 at a local fair, and it STILL stands as the worst roller coaster I have ever done. The trackwork is poor. The transitions are painful. The most violent headbanging I have ever experienced on a coaster. Vile ride, has OTSRs, goes around twice, absolute misery. There is not a single redeeming factor that Blizzard has except for being a +1 to my coaster count. Although a part of me kind of wishes to get back on it to see after all these years if it still holds this reputation, or if this is simply just an outdated viewpoint. With Hammond having sent this ride into storage now, the chances feel slim but I hope one day that it comes out of hiding for a possible chance at redemption.
