Intensität Sanftheit Thematisierung Zuverlässigkeit

Dragon’s Fury is a good but a bit overrated of a family coaster. It has almost no theming, absurd for a Merlín park, but is semi-made up for the ride experience. Although my last visit, the ride was shut for the vast majority. If they sort things out it can be a 4.

I liked this ride. I see it’s age over the years I rode it and, pains me to say, my first coaster with inversions (excluding Galactica). The zero - g - roll is unhinged to say the least and the vertical loop I find glossy smooth. The corkscrews could be better but I feel bitter sweet over it becoming sit down.

This ride seems to be hated on too much, but I can see why. I feel like since 2022 this ride has gotten a lot smoother even in the non retrack bits, but please REDO THE GODDAM TRAINS. Most inversions hit and it’s a forceful layout. Get new trains.

When I went here in 2022, I rode this 10 times and rode 42 rides over the whole park in 7 hours. The theming on this is one of the best in the UK. For a family coaster, this packs a punch. The overbank and s bend are really forceful however it only ran one train and the ride time is quite short. Very underrated.

I was surprised with this coaster. Controversially better than SAW as this one was glossy smooth and the inversions were better. Despite this, the track length is actually less than Oblivion. (1,187ft — 1,222ft). So it’s a great ride for its length and very underrated, but no theming.

This ride is a one trick pony. I love the drop, probably the best in the UK before Hyperia opens. But the overbank is nice too. The ride also has quite a high capacity. Not much to say, good ride.

This ride was the first thrill coaster I ever did. I have a soft spot for it, but the ride is very unreliable and rundown. The capacity is sometimes one train and for a flying coaster that’s painful. If they manage to sort that out, it’s a very relaxing ride.

Spaß Hangtime Dauer Kapazität

This ride is a lot better than it sounds on paper (imo) and feels a lot longer than it actually is. It’s also got a lot of hangtime in both spikes and the launches hit. This ride does have atrocious capacity, but I do enjoy this ride a lot.

Nemesis Inferno is intense, punchy inversions, glossy smooth and good theming too. There is nothing too much you can fault it on. However, the turn around a and the end of the ride is kind of stale and there isn’t exactly a stand out thing about this ride. Nemesis (Reborn) is definitely better, but it’s a great ride by itself.

Airtimes Abschuss Intensität Zu kurz

Definitely a must do at Thorpe Park, being my 2nd most ridden ride. The launch, the top hat and the air time hill all smack. But then it ends. If stealth kept on going, even for 5 more seconds I probably would’ve preferred it to swarm. But still an amazing ride.

A great themed woodie and is a must do at Alton Towers. The capacity is insane and so is the air time. The wooden structure dominates the ride however there are a couple dead spots towards the end. Great ride.

Ejectors Thematisierung

If you head down to the back half of Ferrari lane, you get greeted with some copy and paste rides which hadn’t seemed to get the attention they needed. Junior Redforce looks like a funfair ride but you do get a lot of airtime and never had a queue.

I don’t care what anyone says. This ride is the best. It’s so charming even though it is just a janky arrow mine train which does almost nothing but I love it too much.

After the amazing rides of Dragon Khan and Shambhala, i headed to Baco. Baco looks stunning from all angles, my favourite being from the Far West bridge. The ride experience, was unbearably rough. The launch is good and so is the inversion but everything else reminds me of the big one. I’d rather watch this one.

Best ride in UK. All 14 inversions hit in their own way and so do the air time hills. The ride is relentless and I love it for that. If it duels, it’s even better. Despite the fun, I have had the ride break down multiple times while waiting. But for the ride experience, The Smiler is top notch.

First Drop Dead spots

This is the better of the two stampidas, finding the layout to be a bit better profiled than it’s blue counterpart. Other than the first drop, there isn’t much to be said about this ride. It’s a wooden coaster and I expect it’s slight roughness but the racing element makes the ride better.

This is a kids coaster but the theming from Polynesia is insane. Shame SESAMOAVENTURA is around it

Airtimes Spaß Zu kurz

It’s quite a good kids - family coaster. It gives you good amounts of air time and goes through the wooden spaghetti of stampida. It’s quite short though, and the trains are tiny.

First Drop Unangenehm

The worse of the two - the drops are less profiled however this one doesn’t meander as much.

Airtimes First Drop Komfort

Wow. I had sky high expectations for this ride and it still blew me away. I don’t think I can fault this coaster. The first drop is incredible, the positive gs on the bottom of the first drop and the turnaround are both grey-out moments. The ejector hill contrasts the positives so well. The other camelbacks deal great air too. For being my first b and m hyper, I think I got pretty lucky.

Nette Überraschung! Abschuss Layout Zu kurz Zuverlässigkeit

I think this ride gets too much hate, however it was my first multi dimension coaster. It was a great ride experience, the launches and spike being my favourite. I could understand the theming although it was inconsistent. And on my first day I wasn’t able to get on until around 5pm due to constant closures.

First Drop Inversionen Intensität

On my PortAventura trip, Dragon Khan got the honour to be the first ride. And it definitely surprised me. Despite the bulky restraints, I didn’t get any head banging, and the inversions and mid course were glossy smooth and intense. This ride is hated on way too much, and gets overshadowed by Shambhala (literally). I can’t really fault it.

Despite the 3-3 pros and cons, icon is an amazing ride. With two launches and two inversions, this is a comfortable and thrilling experience with one of my favourite inversions, the heart line roll, executed perfectly. However, it meanders at the end and theming isn’t done in Blackpool while this really could’ve used some. Still the best ride at Blackpool.

This ride is a ride where I feel that only the front is worth it. The further back I went, the more rough it was. The theming is very charming, and it is a one of a kind in the UK.

This is a ride I was rather surprised about. The drops after the cable lunch give you insane airtime and the loop is fun too, especially backwards. But again, it is only one loop.

First Drop Headbanging Airtimes Dead spots

This ride is a mess. The air time hills are useless and the mid course is by far the worst I’ve ever done. However, it’s iconic in the UK and it’s first drop is exceptional and I’d ride it just for that.

Unangenehm Reißt es ab!

I don’t remember much, but 8 year old me nearly quit for good after this ride. It should be burned down. I don’t like why I’m forced to give it 0.5 stars as that is more than generous.

First Drop Inversionen Sanftheit Zu kurz Airtimes

This is my most ridden ride (and my pfp). 68 times as of before Hyperia opening. It edges out Stealth with its hangtime first drop, and intense punchy inversions. The best restraint can make it a little bit restrictive, and the duration is quite short. But great ride!
