Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Fun Duration Launch

Great ride. Love the final drop before the station, but can't help but feel that the launch was one of the most underwhelming of them all.

Fun Masterpiece Headbanging Discomfort Reliability

Went on it again this year (have been visiting Chessington almost annually since I was pretty much a baby) and I had to notice that this ride is aging rapidly, especially the paint job and reliability. Headbanging is an extreme problem, but the good thing about the ride is that you get some good swinging, especially in the final tunnel. Just wish it could be closed for a year-long refurb with new trains (that still swing), a new colour, and theming restores to make it feel brand new. The ride is one of my favourites in the world but it's nowhere near as reliable as it was say 10 years ago. I went on it about 6 times during this trip (3 day 1, 3 day 2) and the last time I went on it we were sitting in the pre-station break run for about 15 minutes and then had to have our restraints manually opened with an allen key... not the greatest...

Pace Masterpiece Ejectors

It causes so much pain after several rides, but it’s so worth it. Pace yourself, take breaks, learn how to ride it, and brace yourself. This is easily my new #1, even over Steel Vengeance

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun

SFNE being my home park, I came in knowing a decent amount about the park as I had already been there 2 times. This coaster gets me everytime and I rode around 4 times throughout the day. I would say that it is tied between 1st or 2nd in the whole park. The second half of the layout absolutely whips you around and you get so much airtime on some of the hills.

Inversions Layout Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

I went on this a few years ago with my dad to see how it was for my mum, who has neck issues and came out with splitting migraines and aching necks. The layout and the amount of inversions are great but it looks grim due to it not being painted for about 20 years and the constant headbanging. It's incredibly uncomfortable and rough. I would definitely go on this again and rate it higher but only if it was to be entirely retracked at once, not some ''off season partial retracking'' like they've been doing.

Theming Capacity Comfort Reliability

Very fun ride, wingover drop is amazing, it's quite comfortable and theming is amazing. However it was closed the first time we went, and the second time we went it was closed till 3pm.
