Classic mouse, a bit of a different layout with more tight turns towards the end. Ran smooth but its definitely an aggressive one, loads of laterals through to the end. Very nice location with nice views out to sea and of Hayling Island

I love a woodie, and Wodan is an absolutely stunning example of why modern wooden coasters are such awesome assets to a park. The way this ride hauls through it's layout is crazy, GCI just nail the out of control feeling so so well. The first drop is superb, particularly at the back, as is the second drop which as a little kink in it to make sure you leave your seat. Everything following is equally brilliant, the pace is relentless and there's plenty of nice pops of airtime all the way round. It's not really an airtime focused layout but that doesn't bother me in the slightest when it's so fast paced. It's very smooth as well, EP clearly take great care of it as there's not a hint of roughness, just the classic woodie aggression which makes them so enjoyable. Awesome trains as always from GCI, so comfortable. It's also impeccably themed, the queue line is stunning with great views of the ride in the outdoor section and some really nice detailed theming inside. Wodan is an incredible ride, one of Europe's top coasters and, with Voltron, half of probably one of the very best 1-2s around.

Vampire is still a very interesting and historic ride, but every season that goes by it gets more and more necessary for it to receive the Nemesis treatment. The trains can't ever have been great but the potholes are clearly the track as much as anything. It is of course 35 years old now, so one can forgive such issues, and it certainly isn't unrideable, but I just know how good it could be if Vekoma retracked it and gave it their latest gen trains. As it stands, it's still nicely themed although a bit tired, and the layout is still very fun with good length and some nice forceful moments. Hopefully at some point it gets the treatment it deserves

Galacticair gets a little too much hate I think. Partly due to how it's being operated at the moment, which is fair, but having not ridden it for a while, you forget how much fun it actually is. The layout is actually pretty diverse with some good forces on the fly to lie section and even some pops of air in a couple spots. I think it captures the flying sensation really well, which was it's aim after all, it wasn't ever designed to be as intense as some of B&Ms subsequent iterations. It's also staggeringly smooth, it's getting on a bit now but there is not even a sniff of rattle or vibration at any point. Personally I think it's comfortable too, restraints are bulky yes but it doesn't bother me at all. Now, the ops. Not good. The days of it running 3 trains seem to be gone, and even having both stations open is increasingly unusual. Does mean the queue is sluggish, as of course the loading process isn't fast and has a degree of faffing other rides don't. Which is definitely a shame, particularly as Towers generally has excellent dispatches. Overall though, I have a soft spot for Galacticair, I think it's a really enjoyable ride. Hopefully it has some life left yet and they can get the 3rd train back on!

It broke, it volleyed, it broke again, they ruined the ride comfort and now they've fixed it again. Theres no doubt Hyperia has had quite the first year of operation. But theres equally no doubt that it's one hell of a coaster, yes its short but those massive elements deliver so well. First drop is mindblowing, the outerbank is crazy and the stall is just awesome. So much airtime and lots of big positives as well, particularly on the pull up into the Immelmann. And now they've returned the rattle to where it was, a mere slight inconvenience rather than a spine destroyer, and that is greatly appreciated. Its an awesome ride, a real powerhouse and one of the very best from one of the very best manufacturers in Mack Rides

The key thing for the Nash is whether the excellent layout and airtime is able to supersede how unbelievably brutal it is. If it does, you'll enjoy it very much, as the airtime really is great, strong laterals on the turns as well. If it doesn't, then the constant bouncing, the slamming down in the valleys, the very tight trains and the general pain you experience really is not good. For me it's very much teetering on the edge, it's definitely far too rough and would massively benefit from a full rework, this layout with a sensitive GCI rework and new trains would be fantastic. But the redeeming ejectors do at least mean there is some level of fun to be had.

I love these classic woodies with a brakeman, Roller Coaster being no exception! Such a wonderful old ride, not the most thrilling by any means but it runs really well, and theres some airtime to be had on some of the drops. Lovely views of the seafront as well. A true classic and good on Pleasure Beach for keeping it going

What a classic! The only operating Virginia Reel in the world. Its a hilarious ride, you get quite the spin going, made me feel very dizzy. Not comfortable by any means but you've got to love it for the nostalgia alone!

What a hilariously fun coaster. Its proper janky in an old school way, not rough per say, but the profiling is certainly a bit rough round the edges. Not the most comfortable but its just funny. Quite intense too and the laterals are really powerful. Super unique type of ride as well, not all that many Schwarzkopfs left now so good on pleasurewood for keeping it going. Obviously just one 8-person train isn't ideal, would be nice to see them get a second train for it. But a really interesting ride and as long as you're prepared for the jank, very enjoyable

One of the big tivoli models. Runs like a very loud shopping trolley, and also only the 1 lap which is a shame. Still, they're fun rides thanks to the massive train. Probably on the way out judging by the terrible racket it makes!

Classic Maurer mouse, very aggressive in the first half, does trim quite a bit in the second half though. Has the classic mouse pain, they aren't comfortable rides but its more funny than bad. Looks great too with the repaint and new decals on the cars. Good fun

Pure intensity isn't my thing really, but Wipeout, with its new Sunkid train, is a great example of how good one of these boomerangs can be. Ran really well, very smooth, and these things are just crazy intense. As I say, not my thing, that backwards loop is just too much. But I can appreciate how well it ran and it's nice to see the park investing in the ride to make it more enjoyable. Looks super nice as well in what's a very pretty park, the repaint looks great!

Dive coasters are far from my favourite coasters, but Valkyria just shows how good they can actually be. The drop is obviously awesome, the dive machine showpiece rarely disappoints. This time you get the benefit of the most stunning views of Liseberg and Gothenburg beyond it which very much helps. The tunnel is an excellent near miss as well, it feels pretty tight as you go into it. After the classic immelmann you then get a really fun and quite diverse layout, with some intense turns and a whippy zero g roll complimented by a floaty turn to the left and the hang time filled heartline roll. Its still fairly short but it feels complete nonetheless. It rides incredibly too, super smooth with not a hint of rattle or vibration. Theming in the station is superb, as is the soundtrack. And just generally the ride looks amazing, such a nice colour pallette used and it fits really well into its area of the park. Really fun ride and an excellent part of Lisebergs lineup

Rather like it's horror movie neighbour, Colossus is an annoying ride. I actually quite like the layout, and it doesn't run particularly rough other than a few spots, particularly considering it's well into it's 3rd decade of operation. But those trains man, they're hideous. The restraints are bad, very bulky and hard, so when your head hits them, it hurts. The actual seats are worse, they're an awful shape and the little lump between your legs ensures that, for the gentlemen at least, your ability to have children is severely reduced. But worst of all is the legroom, you either sit in the front of a car where the shape of the floor bends your feet upwards, or in the back where you have to straddle the seat in front, pushing the edge of your legs over the edge of the seat. Apart from Zamperla's Volare trains, I think they are the worst ride vehicles ever made. Such a waste of a decent layout as it is actually rather fun, the rolls at the end are very extra but it's certainly still a crowd pleaser for that.

Zadra was my first RMC, and I can honestly say I have no burning desire to ride another one. The trains and restraints on this ride are appalling for a coaster so aggressive, the lap bar is bad and very blocky, but the shin guards are completely unnecessary and completely destroy any enjoyment a layout this good should give you. I will say that i'm convinced this is a tall person issue, and i'm not small-built either so I doubt that helped, but when Intamin and Mack can make trains that ooze comfort on rides that are just as potent, there's really no excuse I can find to justify how poor these trains are. And Zadra is a speed-focussed ride, not an airtime-focussed ride, so I dread to think how uncomfortable I will find many of the other RMC coasters. It's the reason that I think Zadra is the most disappointing ride i've ever ridden. I will say again that this is not the experience most people will have, and certainly the layout of the ride leaves nothing to be desired, the pacing is simply relentless, the airtime moments it does have are strong, there's really no aspect of the layout that doesn't deliver. On layout and ride experience alone, this would be up with the very very best in Europe. Which just makes the fact it's ruined by just 1 thing even worse. I'll still rank it fairly high up, dropping it too far would do the layout and pacing a disservice, but my overriding feeling about Zadra is disappointment, and that is a terrible shame

Utterly dreadful, even by SLC standards Vampire is a hot piece of shit. So many hideous jolts which throw your head into the restraints. I'd say it rode even worse than InFusion which was previously the worst SLC I'd done. Not even sure a scrap metal thief would want this one

Contrary to others, I didn't find this to be that rough really. Cobra roll backwards was the only time it became a bit headbangey. These things are mega intense though, to be honest a little bit too much for me. Was better than I expected though

This is one of those woodies that's so shaky its hilarious. This thing rattles round the track throwing itself side to side the whole way. Under that brutality though is a decent layout with some neat airtime. It'd benefit hugely from a full retrack, preferably by GCI, and some new trains, I think it could actually be a properly good coaster with that. Lap bars currently have a tendency to staple in a big way as you go round which is a bit annoying. Trains are quite comfortable though, lots of padding which is very much a good thing on a ride like this. Be interesting to see what they do with it going forward

A good fun mine train. Quite a short layout with just the 2 lift hills, but what's there is very enjoyable. Some great theming too, love the Waterfall and splashdown effect, and all the rock work. Does have a bit of a rattle about it but nothing too bad. Can't ever go too far wrong with a good mine train

An excellent Gerstlauer Bobsled coaster, i love these rides and Tiki Waka is a great example of one. Good fun layout with some great interactions with Mecalodon next to it. Quite long for a mouse style ride too. Trains are comfortable, loads of room. Unfortunately it doesn't have a separate offload, not sure why as that would help with capacity, as it stands the only real issue with it. The ops are solid though so that helps a lot. Great family coaster

First shuttle loop for me, and whilst the new LSM launch isn't much to shout about, this thing is intense! The backwards loop pulls some serious g's. Runs very smooth and i like the lighting in the station before dispatch, maybe more stylised than themed but it's cool. Short but fun, particularly if you love intensity
