Layout Rattle Capacity Discomfort

It just makes me miserable thinking about what could’ve been. It’s rough, just hurts, and has horrible capacity. It feels like this is begging to be RMC’ed, and it really needs it. Tomahawk is half the size and is much better, which I find to be hilarious.

Airtimes First Drop Theming Dead spots

I went into this ride expecting it to be mediocre and shaky but was very pleasantly surprised! The theming in the queue and station is so cool and there's even a countdown and smoke before the ride climbs the really fast and tall lift hill! The first drop was shockingly strong with ejector all the way down into a tunnel blasted full of positives (similar to Shambhala). The massive airtime hill has glorious ejector where you are out your seat for so long and the airtime dive loop is absolutely amazing with another pop of ejector into great laterals and hangtime and the low to the ground speed hills and dives are so whippy and fun as well. The airtime and turns are solid except for one hill before the overbank which the train always crawls over because of how drawn out it is and it only delivers weak floater. I rode front, middle and back rows in middle and outer seats and barely felt a rattle, only in the valleys I noticed weak shuffling. Overall Hyperion is underrated and is very fun in terms of snappy transitions and has very comfortable lap bars. One more thing to add is the front row is absolutely insane especially when it's pouring it down with rain because it feels so fast even though it can hurt and be freezing, the views are incredible as well.

Inversions Intensity Discomfort

I’m yet to ride colossus, but I don’t think it’s gonna be better than this. Sik is one of the most underrated coasters in the UK and I have no idea why. There isn’t a single bad spot on this ride, and it’s glossy smooth. The restraint does hurt a fair bit on the simultaneous heart line rolls, but it doesn’t ruin the experience that much

Fun Discomfort Layout

It’s definitely one of the family rides at Flamingo Land. It spins a fair bit, but the layout is pretty boring. It’s quite uncomfortable if you’re in an outside seat, so do try to stay in.

Intensity Rattle Too short

My first SLC left me with a decent impression, but I doubt it’s gonna last. This ride is pretty relentless, but it’s far too short. There is a fair bit of roughness, but it doesn’t ruin the experience.

Theming Smoothness Duration Discomfort

F.L.Y is probably the most beautiful roller coaster in the world! The whole area around it feels so realistic and seeing the ride 'F.L.Y' over peoples heads is so exciting. The ride experience itself is very mysterious because there is no way of seeing everything until you ride it due to no filming allowed at all. The launches are cool to experience in a flying position and the ride has strange pops of airtime and good positives + it feels like it goes on forever which I really like even though I find it is very uncomfortable on the legs as flying coasters aren't really my thing which is why I believe F.L.Y would be nowhere near as good without theming.

First Drop Fun Capacity Discomfort

It’s an S&S El Loco. You experience a flurry of unique elements and a godly first drop. The restraint is very open, however it feels like it’s trying to put a dent into your back. Bonus points for the support structure, it looks very cool.

Launch Dead spots Layout

So much potential….wasted. That launch is great, but you do absolutely nothing after it. You just meander about when you could be doing so much more better stuff.

Pace Rattle Discomfort

It’s really not THAT bad. The restraint can be annoying but overall it’s alright. The major issue that I have is how poor the track work is, this rollercoaster feels like it came out of Planet Coaster. Far from as bad as people paint it out to be, but it’s a skip.

Pace Intensity Layout Discomfort

This ride is complete bonkers from start to finish! The first drop into the structure has solid head choppers, ejectors and speed through a fast lateral ejector speed hill. The outward banked turnaround gives a great dose of positives, laterals and ejectors into the massive stall which is a gorgeous moment of upside down airtime and laterals. The following outer banked wave turn is another violent punch of strong lateral ejector which feels like Zadra is trying to kill everyone on board! The giant camelback is a nice moment of sustained flojector into a zero g roll through the structure which is very disorienting as the ride flips around giving good hangtime. The double down is another moment of thigh crushing ejector into a brutally fast paced twisted ejector hill full of laterals and a final hangtime filled upward barrel roll before a ridiculous slam into the brakes. Zadra is an absolutely fantastic RMC coaster with very good forces, speed, theming and also beautiful trains. Cons I have with it are the restraints because they have shin guards that dig into tall peoples legs and it was running slower than usual when I rode it but it still managed to leave me breathless.
