Duplo Dino Coaster • Legoland Windsor

Comfort Too short Capacity

Possibly the smallest coaster in the country. Makes a wacky worm look like a giga. I get it's a kids ride but it really is tiny, at least most other kids rides have a little something to offer the cres hunter, this really has nothing. It is very comfortable though so I'll give it that!

The Duplo Dino coaster is well themed with colourful Duplo bricks around the entrance and ride area. A large rotating sculpture of Duplo dinosaurs and palms dominates the middle of the track, surrounded by greenery that evokes a prehistoric jungle feel. The yellow and blue track works in the landscape. However, repetitive yelling of "WOAH" and "YAY" from the ride audio quickly becomes irritating - the jungle beat alone would suffice. The queue weaves back and forth along the main banked turn. Riders place bags on a basic storage rail before boarding the colourfully themed train modelled after Duplo dinosaurs. The seats are far more comfortable than the rigid benches of The Dragon, with decent legroom and smoothly contoured lap bars. The simple oval layout feels uninspired, lacking meaningful elements that do not take riders on a journey. A highlight is spotting the under-construction Minifigure Speedway coaster from the boost lift hill. Aside from bumpy lift wheels and a mild jolt on the banked turn, the ride is relatively smooth. However, it is completely forceless, with a noticeable dead spot after the first drop. There is a clumsy transition between the two circuits involving abrupt braking before the train can complete the second lap. Small trains and slow loading keep throughput low. It succeeds as a family coaster but has little appeal beyond its target audience.

Will you keep your sanity during the queue line? Or will the overly cheerful guy going "ooh ooh ohhh NYAAAAHAHEHEHA" get to you and make you run off to something else? I succeeded, but I'm not sure if I'm still the same person
