Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Masterpiece Ejectors

This thing is absolutely mental, he world needs more of these! If you are lucky enough to get this drop in the back row facing backwards then you are in for a great time. Absolutely one of the best drops in the world for its height. This ride destroys every RMC I've been on and I never expected this from a Mack. Launch even has bite to it! Also this thing looks great at night, lighting on the trains is fantastic. Mackprodukt.

Nothing Groundbreaking, just a fine family coaster with OTSR. It would be better with lap bars, but its not bad at all.

Fun Disappointing!

As much as I like the forwards backwards concept and its execution. This ride just did not deliver as much as I was hoping it to. It looks perfect on paper and the G force measurement I did was happy too but for some reason it just didn't really get me. All my rides (forwards and backwards) I found it to be a ride that just kind of passes by without being memorable at all. Not too sure why that is but I would assume it has to do with the lack of whippy transitions, the repetitive-ish layout and the fact that theres only little airtime.

Lap Bar Smoothness Ejectors

There is no reason for this ride to exist, yet somehow it does. With butter smooth track and intense transitions, Phantom's Revenge manages to give an intense, airtime filled ride that's easily re-rideable and a lot of fun! When I first rode it I was very disappointed. It was a morning ride on July 4th, and I had a headache; not exactly the best conditions. However, on my most recent trip to Kennywood, each ride just kept getting better and better. The first drop isn't the best, but the laterals impressed me every time. The forces on the dive into the valley into the turnaround are fantastic, causing a grey-out on every ride I had on it. Each airtime moment felt different, but they all gave very strong airtime. Due to the way the lap bar is designed, there was little to no pain experienced on the airtime hills; a definite pro in my book. While I do like painful airtime, I think its a good thing that I didn't have to brace for the pain. In the end I'm so glad my opinion on this ride has changed, as I used to see it as the most overrated coaster ever!

Pace Fun

Very fast for a powered coaster. Probably more intense than that forceless millennium as well

Inversions Pace Hangtime Headbanging Harness Discomfort

Last ride I had on Colossus was good. Smoother however still rough but it contains whippy inversions that throw you side to side. It is one of the most intense rides at Thorpe park. New wheels really help the ride flow around the track without much of a rattle and the airtime hill before the cobra roll and after the loop it flies through. Delivering good airtime similar to The Smiler’s hills at Alton Towers and not to forget the extremely fun end to the ride. The 5 Heartline rolls which never stop delivering. The severe issue which is the reason why it is 3/5 is the terrible trains which are outdated and uncomfortable. New trains and a new paint job would make it the best ride at Thorpe park. The lost city theme is cool too? .

Inversions Headbanging Harness Tear it down!

Awful. It's terrible. The layout is meh, but the restraints are awful. It hurts SO BAD. I'm struggling to put into words how terrible it is.

Inversions Harness Intensity

Easily the best Vekoma SLC I've been on. The actual rides I don't think are that bad, it's mostly the restraints. But the Great Nor'Easter's restraints were WONDERFUL. If the restraints on these things were replaced, I don't think they'd get near the amount of hate that they do.

Theming Launch Disappointing! Dead spots

Xpress platform is a hit or miss. The themeing and launch are great but the rest of the ride dosent do much however, the compact layout is ok, going under other parts of track is cool however the pace is severely lacking.

Unique because it isn’t a pinfari therefore, it rides without brakes which means you go quite fast
