Coaster reviews

Lap Bar Pace Capacity Disappointing! Layout

Not bad ride but very overrated in my eyes. The row assignment is just more annoying then cool and I can't see a thing without glasses that I can't wear even with a tight strap, add to that you have to take the glasses off really early so for the whole assignment and boarding process you're in a dark, (maybe themed? idk I couldn't see a thing) room trying to find where to go. And then you just get sent to row 2 because that's the great system. Riding this feels more like a chore to try get a good row rather then a fun time just mindlessly riding a good rollercoaster. Just try Nessie instead. About the ride itself it is just really big and fast, not much more then that, would have loved to see some more sizeable elements in the layout or inversions.

Airtimes Location Ejectors Discomfort

This is entirely dependent on where you sit. I do NOT recommend the magic seat - I tried it and it hurt like crazy.

Inversions Location Smoothness

This really is a great ride. I've never had an issue with the restraints, so it gets bonus points there. This is living proof that a ride doesn't need to feel like it's ripping your face off to be good.

Launch Intensity Too short

Great intensity and launch

Nice surprise! Fun Layout

underaded ride, Hot Take: best coaster at thorpe

Airtimes First Drop Pace

Yeah, our 2019 trip was so disorganized. But we made it, so here's my Leviathan review! I have no complaints here. I didn't even think the ride felt too short. The speed is well maintained throughout the course, and there are a couple of great albeit trimmed airtime moments on here. Overall great ride that sits high in my top 100.

First Drop Theming Intensity Layout

I really love the feeling of old Vekoma track, especially when it's been retracked and the trains have vest restraints. I got one ride on this in the back row, and I still love the first drop. The onboard audio wasn't working, but I know how good this drop is when the beat drop is right when you get released. Also, the the backwards looping is really something. Unbelievably intense, that is.

Launch Harness Discomfort

This ride may just have the single worst restraints I have ever experienced. I'm not even 1.90m, but my shoulders were already pressing against the top of the shoulder restraints. No padding whatsoever, so i got off with pain in my shoulders and back. The launch is pretty good. The sea serpent roll right after as well. It goes pretty downhill from there. The rest of the ride is basically forceless helixes, except for some laterals, which my shoulders really didn't like. In the middle, there is a very unholy corkscrew that made my shoulders scream from pain. According to the official site, the ride ends with "diverse airtimes". These airtimes were so strong, that me and my brother currently use it as a meme for a hill on a rollercoaster that pulls no negative G-forces (the "diverse airtimes" had no airtime at all). A very mid coaster. Certainly not great, but not terrible either. Just get new vest restraints and the ride will improve by at least 200 percent.

Masterpiece Layout Ejectors

I rode this twice when I was still terrified of big coasters like these, so I kept clinging onto my lap bar for the entire ride. Today, I came back to avenge this ride and the only thing I can say is HOLY SHIT is this a good coaster! It's like they handpicked the best elements to possibly exist on a coaster and built it to perfection. There is only one bad part on this ride - the bunny hop right after the drop that gives floater at best - but from there onward you will have the most amazing single minute of your lifetime. My first ride today was in the front, and it immediately shot up into my number one coaster. I should mention that I've only ridden coasters in the Netherlands so far, but still. My second ride was at the very end of the day in the back of the train. The first drop is amazing. The 270 degrees stall gave sideways floater my first ride, but in my second I got EJECTED out of my seat. The two big airtime hills after the overbank are both insane and sustained, and the zero-g roll gives amazing hangtime no matter what speed you are going through. From that moment onwards, it is mostly bunny hills. And let me tell you. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM gives you a mega pop of airtime. I'm usually not really a sucker for airtime, but let me tell you, this airtime is so perfect, I was having the absolute time of my life. The last major element is also the single best one: a heartline roll, filled with the most amazing hangtime you will ever experience on a coaster. Everything on this coaster is perfect. Even the brake run is perfect and I'm not sure why. Just believe me when I say this coaster had gotten a new big fan. I still don't know how they do it, but RMC managed to make the perfect rollercoaster.

First Drop Theming Hangtime Too short

Good ride with great theming and a good first drop but I wish the ride was a bit longer than it is but it is the best ride at Thorpe park
