Spinball Whizzer • Alton Towers

Pace Intensity Theming Capacity

A fun little ride but doesn't fit the park. Looks very out of place, and a lot more could've been done with it. Same problem with Chessington where it's a low capacity ride at a very, very busy park though the problem's not as bad because it's not the biggest coaster at the park, but it doesn't mean the issue is completely eliminated.

Fine family coaster but looks very out of place. Fun to ride but nothing special. Doesn't belong at alton towers

Fun Capacity Dead spots

It is a good family spinning coaster. Good ride for children who aren't tall enough for the rides like Oblivion and Nemesis but have grown out of Family coasters like Octonuats. The only problem is 25% of the ride are break runs to increase capacity but even then that's not the best, I went on a school day and there was still at least a 10 minute wait when all other coasters were walk-ons

Fun Harness Discomfort

Spinball whizzer has seen better days, I has became quite uncomfortable and the harness restricts you from putting your hands up. Don’t get me wrong this is still a fun ride though.

Pace Fun Capacity Discomfort Reliability

Fun spinning coaster. The horseshoe element in particular is very enjoyable, but the block brakes are violent and at the first sign of rain capacity is severely limited as they will only part-load cars. Most times I've ridden this coaster, the car doesn't spin much until the final helix, which is disappointing.

Fun Dead spots

Enjoyable ride, but I honestly think Dragon's fury at Chessington is better.

A fun ride if you like spinning coasters, but low capacity and since Sonic left it lacks the polish of some of the larger attractions.
