Coaster reviews

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors

This is one hell of a ride. This ride is one of the best coasters in the world

Comfort Fun Layout Capacity

One of the best B&M hyper ever built but the operations suck but it is capable of good operations

A retrospective. I remember loving this ride when I was younger, and vividly remember it getting rougher and rougher, until it was unrideable. Corkscrew was a game changer for the UK and I am glad Alton paid homage and kept their track for their entrance. In truth, corkscrew was my first taste of an inversion and for that - I remember it fondly.

Discomfort

This was the most painful spinning wild mouse I have ever done. Poorly maintained, laterals are painful. Get the cred and go.

Discomfort Pointless

Rattle rattle. Insanely sharp brakes when not fully loaded - not much redeeming about this at all.

Theming Smoothness Layout

I have to give my kudos the Drayton. The theming (and retheming of Frontier Falls) is fantastic. The ride is insanely smooth (never ridden anything this smooth before) and is utterly unique. Cycle 1 is a little more tame than cycle 2 (all hail cycle 2). The tire drive launches are surprisingly punchy and pick up a lot of speed, leading to some really pleasantly whippy cornering and the drops are actually decent, and it is fantastically paced. It is the best true family coaster in the country and one of my tops in the country. I would not be surprised if we see more of this type of thing opening up around the world. If drayton keeps this up, we could see ourselves with quite the family park battle on in the UK.

Intensity Discomfort

The new trains are pretty comfortable (albeit ugly), so imagine my surprise to find that the inversions were really quite rough and headache inducing. Either way, the zero-g roll is fantastic and the inversions are surprisingly intense - not to my taste but a lot will like it. I dread to think how uncomfortable this would have been standing up.

Comfort Smoothness

Quite a forceless family boomerang, but does it's job and is fairly smooth. The theming is out of place and jumbled, but hopefully they will capture it in to the western area and make it look the part for next year.

Theming

A bit slow, but lovely custom layout and theming, very relaxing :D

Smoothness

Nice little kiddie coaster, and fits perfectly in this area. Quite whippy!
