Achterbahn Rezensionen

Spaß Intensität Thematisierung

This is a surprisingly intense spinning coaster, with a decent layout, but suffers from some indifferent theming in my opinion. Where are the dragons? Lots of trees on the layout, but could have been more immersive. Good fun otherwise!

Abschuss Layout

Launch is pretty good, but the layout is really odd! Operations are also maddening, the throughput on this thing is so incredibly slow. Gets up to some decent speeds, and I think is a good fit for the park, but some of the design choices are baffling!

Spaß Dead spots Intensität

A pretty sedate hanging coaster, which I guess is to be expected at chessington. The way it swings you round corners is quite fun, but never reaches peak thrills at any point.

Rückhaltebügel Unangenehm

I’m like an average sized guy, with maybe longer than average legs, but this was almost impossible to sit in! It’s also uncomfortable once you do manage to sit down! Not sure what the point of this ride is.

Dead spots

Perfetcly fine kids coaster. Can be a little dizzy but gets up to some passable speeds!

Thematisierung Dead spots

Has good theming but that’s about it. A little boring, and not really re-rideable when you know the surprises.

Layout Rütteln Unangenehm

Definitely the worst of the thorpe park offerings - the trains are awful and very uncomfortable for tall people. The heartline rolls are good, but be prepared to queue long for this one!

Thematisierung Intensität Headbanging Unangenehm

This has really suffered over the years, and what was a 8/9 out of 10 only just about scrapes a 7. Some really great inversions here, but it has got really quite uncomfortable!

Inversionen Tempo Spaß

Another well themed coaster, that while holds nothing to the original nemesis, is a really great ride in it’s own right. A really solid front sear t ride as you wizz round the volcano and jungle!

First Drop Inversionen Komfort Zu kurz Rückhaltebügel

A really solid ride, with great use of theming throughout. Right hand side is definitely better though!

Thematisierung

Good fun if a little slow at times, but has some awesome theming all the way round, and some really good near misses. Choo choo!

Tempo Spaß Kapazität

I think this ride gets a bad rap. It’s quite fast in places and the spins are unpredictable enough to make each ride different. Theming could do with an update, and the capacity isn’t the best, but I like this one.

Abschuss Intensität Kapazität Dead spots

Pretty fast launch, pretty boring layout. The first banked turn is very good, but there’s not too much of note after that. Always has long queues which I can never quite understand.

Spaß Intensität

It’s fun, but pretty sedate. A great starting coaster if anyone’s apprehensive about them, but it’s not great for repeat rides - the novelty quickly wears off. Also I much preferred the ‘Air’ theming!

Abschuss Spaß Rütteln Unangenehm Layout

Probably one of my most memorable coaster experiences of recent times - I had no idea what this ride was, so imagine my surprise when I got hit by the intensity and speed of the launch! It’s admittedly super rough and has a few dead spots but it’s definitely worth a ride - it’s just fun! The lake section is great on the left side too. A must ride, but probably not one you’ll be able to repeat much!

First Drop Inversionen Intensität Rütteln Unangenehm

I only rode this twice on the front, so I can’t comment on the rattle further back, but this is a quite intense and impressive ride. Some great, fast inversions and build up of speed all the way round. Could have been a 9, but it gave me an awful headache second time round (probably due to the intensity)! Hard to repeat ride.

Thematisierung Enttäuschend! Unangenehm Irrelevant

This is a bizarre ride. It just doesn’t really do anything of any note at all. It has nice theming but that’s about it. Terrible track design.

Spaß Unangenehm

Slightly rough but actually surprisingly fast! Not bad at all for a kids coaster.

Airtimes Unangenehm Dead spots

Fairly decent small wooden coaster. Not particularly exciting, and will destroy your knees if you’re tall!

Rütteln Unangenehm Reißt es ab!

Slightly better for discomfort than the red side but there’s not much in it. Same again here - horrible ride experience with extreme discomfort. Do not under any circumstances go at the back if you like your skeleton the way it is!

Rütteln Unangenehm Reißt es ab!

This is definitely the worse of the two sides I think - and my word is it uncomfortable. The lap bars are digging into your stomach, the sides are pressing against you, and the entire car is rattling the entire way. Some corners are quite fast which worsens the discomfort and rattle. It’s a horrible ride experience which overshadows everything else.

Airtimes Schoßbügel Meisterwerk Inversionen

First time I went near the front and I was disappointed, but at the back it is a completely different experience and jumps straight into my favourites of all time. The airtime is absolutely incredible, and the feeling when you get pulled over that first drop is almost indescribable - you feel like you are definitely going to fall out thanks to the brilliant lap bars. (Do be warned - if you have really really long legs or are quite big, you will NOT fit so maybe check the restrictions before you go. I saw at least 3 people unable to ride). It has incredible views of the park as you go round, and is also quite long, with relatively fast operations (if they are running two trains!). The section through the water spray is also a nice touch. An amazing experience that you should not miss. Only con I can think of is it’s maybe missing an inversion somewhere? But I don’t really think it needs it, it’s a phenomenal ride.

Airtimes Schoßbügel Enttäuschend! Unangenehm Abschuss

Never been more disappointed in a coaster. The launch is extremely lack-luster, it launches from a rolling start and doesn’t really accelerate fast enough to that top speed point, zapping all the intensity out of it. It also has a terrible rattle around halfway down the straight at the back. The top hat is not bad, with really great views and some decent airtime, and of course it’s fast! For me it should all be about that launch and it just does not deliver in that regard. Special mention goes to it’s operations which ruined the experience for me. Staff will not let you queue for front seat - you cannot even let other people past you while you wait for the next one. This is mind boggling and I think is there to ensure people buy their speedy passes (which allow you to go front seat for an extra charge). Was not able to see if it was better in the front when I went a second time!

Perfectly fine wooden coaster. Not really that exciting, but a decent ride experience.

Spaß Zu kurz

Fun kids coaster - just extremely short! Should at least go round twice really.

Unangenehm Irrelevant

There’s no pros about this ride. None. It’s uncomfortable, slow, boring and flings you about all over the place. Saved from a half star by the racing element which is sort of fun (not that you have any control over the ride!)

Airtimes Kapazität Nette Überraschung! Zu kurz

I really like this ride which surprised me. It doesn’t look much, but it’s such a unique ride experience. So much airtime and sudden drops from both sides which you can’t see coming. Quite intense too! Downsides are that it’s slightly short and seats are not that comfortable, but it’s a really good ride and a nice surprise!

Thematisierung Standort Headbanging Rückhaltebügel Unangenehm

It’s a shame because some parts of it are quite good at the start, and the theming near the water is really photogenic. It just has the worst restraints I’ve ever used, and is quite painful from the mid section onwards. There are also two inversions in a row that are probably the worst section of any rollercoaster in the world - it’s that bad. You’ll know it when you ride it!

Spaß Rütteln Unangenehm

It’s fun but I’ve never ridden a more rough ride (Infusion comes close!). Make sure to keep your mouth closed or you might bite your tongue off!

Standort Tempo Dauer Rütteln Unangenehm

A good fast coaster with incredible views of Blackpool beach - during the illuminations the view is incredible. Lap bars also add to it by feeling like you are going to fall out at the top. Just a bit too unconfortable at certain parts now.
