Fun Theming
You are ready, the fish is ready, and Here, We, Goooo!!! [Splash] Nice credit, didn't have long queues given it's a tame kiddie at a not-family-friendly park. However, it could do with some theming.

A fun ride, doesn't do much force wise but went round 6 times so a win for me

It just exists.

Oh my goodness. This has got to be the absolute scariest ride in the park. If you go, start by building up because it is so scary. Start with Hyperia or the swarm, as they are very tame compared to this beast.

Masterpiece Layout Inversions Intensity
This is the best ride at Thorpe park just it’s a little bit scary. The multi launches are fantastic and the layout is wondrous. It’s just a little bit scary and the inversion are a bit intimidating. Might be the most terrifying ride in the world. Not suitable for kids.

Pointless
A staple of the park that holds a lot of nostalgia for others. Not for me though, it is slooooow, rundown and needs to go and be replaced with a kid friendly thrill maybe (a spinner?). It is a funny ride for all the thrillseekers to hop on though.

Are you ready to ride the flying fish!? A fish that flies! When flying (in the fish) keep your hands and fins inside (the fish), Thankyou for flying with the fish! They sent us round 5 times 😅

Fun Rattle Tear it down!
It's fun, but too rattly. Thorpe Park should really remove it and invest in a new thrilling ride.

Flying fish is a small fun ride that is one of the only rides in the park targeted towards younger thrill-seekers, it is a good fun ride which is very enjoyable however it is still a kids ride so it is not very thrilling and is pretty boring. Flying fish is worth a ride if it has a short queue and is on a route to your next coaster. Thank you for reading and have a good day!

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

Why do Thorpe need Exodus when this is here! My number 1. Jokes aside, this is a much needed family coaster for Thorpe, even though they really need a family coaster like Storm Chaser at Paultons. And the lap bar stapled me :(
-
Comfort Fun Capacity
For a kiddie coaster, this a pretty fun ride to go of if you get the chance in the day. Unfortunately though it often gets long queues as one of the only kiddie rides in the park.
-
Lap Bar Fun
Flying Fish is a fairly good kiddie coaster. The lap bars barely touch you so you can get a lot of room throughout the ride. You get a decent sense of speed because the train does not slow down after each pass through the station. I was surprised by some of the laterals at times. It is definitely worth a spin if you keep an open mind.

Theming Dead spots
It fulfils its purpose as the only kiddie coaster of the park, but even for being a ride for the small ones, it is fairly weak. Theming is also lackluster.

Comfort Fun Duration
It’s a great ride for children. Quite smooth and gets some decent speed. But it isn’t intense at all. I can’t give it a high score because it’s good for kids. Definitely worth a 5 minute queue for some short fun.

Fun Harness Theming
It is actually a fun ride, it's good for children who don't like massive rides and I personally love flying with the fish! :D

Fun Theming Layout
Just a basic layout, themeless powered coaster. But no one can deny it's always fun to fly with the fish!

Capacity Fun Pointless Dead spots Layout
Jokes aside, while this is still a very fun coaster, I really think it could've been a lot better. This fits better as an indoor coaster as how it used to be, and just standing there out in the open doesn't fit the park at all. While the helixes are decent fun, the dead spot is where it just rolls along straight track while banked 30 degrees to the left. Compared to the other coasters at Thorpe now, it doesn't even try with theming either. It's unfortunate, and could be a lot better. Though I'd prefer Thorpe to invest in a new family coaster instead now so this park is no longer the most "top-heavy" park in the world.

Comfort Fun
This ride is LEGENDARY! On a serious note, it’s a fun family coaster and I enjoy it. A good break from the other bigger rides at the park.

Harness
Flying Fish isn't bad. It's a good fun family coaster with a figure of eight layout, and it achieves the goal it sets out for itself; an entertaining attraction for younger guests, but obviously it pales in comparison to the rest of Thorpe's lineup (except the walking dead, that thing is crap). It can be a bit rough in places (especially some transitions that give a ridiculous lateral spike), and has some quality clearance fails with supports and track (44 total per lap). Flying Fish has a hidden quality, though... the best thing BY FAR about this ride, is the awesome noise the ratchet restraints make when they come down. So satisfying.

Inversions Masterpiece Intensity
The intensity gives nemesis or I305 a run for their money. This massive beast of a ride has the most intense qdcs ever made and it is that big, you can see it from China.
