Intensity Smoothness Hangtime Too short

best ride at thorpe park

First Drop

Fun first drop in the back, other than that just an ordinary kiddiecoaster

First Drop Duration Discomfort Dead spots

First drop is quite funny in the last row. Still an elderly kiddie coaster…

Nice surprise! Intensity Ejectors Dead spots

Nice surprise for a Mack Bobsled, offers a very long ride and good fun for the whole family.

Fun Duration Dead spots

Fun and long Mack bobsled-coaster with some unexpected intense moments. Obviously with the standard bobsled problems (rattle, harness) but nothing too serious.

Airtimes Comfort Fun Dead spots

Sometime in the 2010s B&M really figured out how to profile a camelback. The floater on this ride is some of the highest quality floater anywhere.

Theming

Fun family coaster. Neither particularly good nor bad.

Theming Pointless

Has a little rattle to it but it’s quite a rare model. In total not too bad for a little family ride but kind of boring.

Location Fun Discomfort Dead spots

Just a good, fun family ride. If you go in expecting anything more than a decent mine train then you are going to be disappointed, but temper your expectations and you can have a fun time. I have a fair amount of nostalgia for this ride as it was one of my favorites when I was very young, so I think this ride does deserve a place in the park for the young ones. 4/10 - I mean this seriously: the second helix is better than Fury's

Airtimes Theming Masterpiece Discomfort

If perfection were a rollercoaster. Absurd amount of theming as soon as you step into Rookburgh, and that doesn’t let up on FLY. The queue travels across the whole area, and is absolutely stunning. The station is unmatched, and the boarding system is really easy. The launches, airtimes, inversions, theming, and everything else are exceptional. The only bad part of the experience is how the restraints hurt my collarbone after a few rides, but that was fixable by moving the vest just over my shoulders.
