Theming Capacity Discomfort

An improvement on X - the new Walking Dead theming makes the ride a lot more interesting. The trains aren't the most comfortable - on several drops you're thrown into the sides of the car, but it's nice to see the return of some of the lift hill effects from the original X:\No Way Out ride. They could do a lot more with the winding entrance and exit paths, and the 2-per-row rule makes loading a lot more convoluted than it needs to be.

Airtimes Theming Layout Capacity Harness Discomfort

With different trains this would be a 4* ride, but the current bulky restraints and terrible Intamin trains really spoil the ride. The layout's good and the way you can walk through the middle of the ride area makes it an immersive experience, but it's rough to ride and the corkscrews in particular can have some violent headbanging. The offload platform in the station, especially where the baggage hold is, is too narrow and causes delays in loading and dispatch, plus on off-peak days the park commonly run this coaster with a single train, leading to longer queues than necessary. If you sit in the back row of a car, getting in and out involves significant amounts of contortion - good luck if you're over 6ft tall!

Theming Inversions Intensity Headbanging

Seems to be quite a marmite ride. Personally I'm a fan - the capacity is good (when Thorpe's operations allow!), the layout is interesting with a nice indoor section with hidden surprises, and an intense outdoor section. The theming around the area is also pretty immersive. As with many Eurofighters with the overhead restraints, there can be a bit of headbanging - I find the worst part for this is the final turn into the station brake run.

Theming Inversions Pace Too short

While not as good as its big brother at Alton Towers, Nemesis Inferno still manages to be a punchy and enjoyable ride with nice inversions. As with most B&M inverts, it's smooth and comfortable to ride with no headbanging. The jungle theming works well, but stops abruptly when you exit the ride and end up on a gantry next to a service road - did the money run out during construction?

Theming Pace Smoothness Too short

For some reason a lot of people seem to think this ride is forceless. I always find it rather intense, especially the first drop and zero-g roll. It's nicely paced and keeps the elements coming, makes good use of the space and the inline twist over the station is a nice touch. The downsides: it feels too short - you hit the brakes wishing there was more to it. And the station is gradually getting more and more dilapidated as the years go by - already a lot of the original wooden beams are missing revealing the metal supports.

Airtimes First Drop Launch Discomfort

Does what it does well. Good powerful launch, height and drop with plenty of airtime over the top especially if you sit at the back. Only real downside is the transition from the launch into the uphill - the forces can be uncomfortable if you're leaning forward.

welp,you know how wild mouses goes,banked turns,and drops,and maybe headchoppers.this one isnt special considering its one of million wild mouses that were build,but its atleast a pretty fitting coaster with the rest of the park for me,with a line up of good family coaster,with one exeption might be tornado,but still,vilde mus is a fun coaster,and its also their last coaster,build in 2012 and they didnt got a new coaster,which i really want them to take a try on a small coaster to fit.and yes,altough its you wild mouse,its still a good one,which made by mack,the kings of those kind of coasters,it is smooth,not many brakes whatsoever,fun drops and good banked turns,altough it wasnt that intense,its still a good coaster which i can reccomand.

wow,i cant describe to you how intense this ride really is,and this is by far,one of the best spinning coaster in the world,with only one down side to really rant about.the ride was build by none other then intamin in 2009,and its currently their only spinning coaster(well,if you count twist and turns models at least)so yea,its a prototype,that gone insanly well,sadly,intamin had only build one,its a shame tho,i would see this at many parks worldwide if they will kept doing it.now to the ride itslef,it is insane,as tha name suggest,its really feeing like you are in a tornado,and i liked it alot and alot more than winjas,since for me,it lacked intensity,welp,most of the spinning coasters i rode lacked this factor,they dont have to,but for me its a nice suprise if they will be much more intense,but this on the other hand,managed to give me amazing amoutn of forces,the lifet(well yea,tornado uses a high speed chain lift hill which could be considered a launch rather than a lift'but ill give it the defention of a lift since i want to stay accurate with rcdb,which states its a lift,but even im debating if its a life or a launch),omg,the lift is so fast,than the first drop is so whippy and the rest of the ride is just well banked,well paced and gives ejector airtime throught,many moments of non stop intensity were on this ride and its such an aweasome treat to me,but i said at the start i will rant about something,and thats the harnesses,beacuse of the fast paced layout,i belive it wasnt that good with those harnesses,they just a neck destroyer and uncomfortable,but the ride itself isnt rough really,its just the restrains,but overall,it is by far,my fav spinner,and intamin needs to create more of this.

this ride is a pretty good woodie ,and its their oldest coaster as well,not their first,but their oldest.the ride was build by valdemer lebech,which had build also 3 coasters throught his life,he also build another side friction coaster in tivoli gardens,the ride was build in 1932,two years after their bobsled was opened,but unlike that bobsled,this coaster remained and got many refurbishments.in 2010,the trains on the ride replaced with their old,brakema operated trains,into trains whichdont need a brakeman.fun fact,the trains on the ride was build by a dutch manufacter name kumbak,which before that built in 2007,the vliegende hollander at efteling.but enough facts,what about the ride itself.welp,it was fun,not ground breaking,but atleast somewhat fun to ride.first of all,the ride is so smooth and reridable,every turn and hill feels so comfortable and the trains are good too,the restrfains are comfortable and its overall really smooth for somthing that was build in 1932.the ride layout,on the other hand,is mixed,well,i heard that when it use to run with a brakeman,it was much more intense,and yes,the layout still look fun to me,its gives to me the feel of how vintage woodies would look like,and it includes so many hills,and a tunnel(the must weird tunnel ive ever seen),but they trimmed it so much,the ride manged to became from intense,to pretty dull at some points,dint get me wrong,it was fun at some moments,but those trims really slowed down the more intense parts,and sadly,there were no good,woodie airtime,the thing i like about woodies is that thier airtime is good and unique,i even say that wooden airtime is better than steel airtime,but sadly here,i didnt feel that air,but it was expected since afterall,thise side friction foesnt have the best airtime.overall,rutschebanen is a good coaster,and hey,with the dull moments it might be good for kids.

this is a fun coaster,still,its not the best or groundbreaking,but in a family prospective,its doing ah,pretty well.sure,its not the level of their ulven coaster,but its still a pretty enjoyable,nice little family coaster.lets talk history,originally it was build in 1971 and until 1974,traveled in a showman funfair,that is until in 1980,it was brought to the park.it is actually one of the first zeirer coasters ever build,and deserves its historical place at the park as one of startes of zeirer.welp,as mentioned,its a starter,so it still had time to improve,thats why i will try to get it with a bit of fairness in my review.the ride,is so smooth,it didnt even had a rattle which zeirer,in some models tends to have,and its makes the ride much more reridable,and duarable.but as a starter,they had somthing to improve on,and i belive thats the layout.dont get me wrong,its not a bad layout,its actually a pretty intersting one,but its not good either.i felt like the turns could get more leterals and forces into the layout.its also can be repetetive,must of the layout is as follow,go to curved drop,rise up to a curved hill,repeat,altough the second half is much better in comperison beacuse of its "wild mouse"turns which gave some leterals,its not as intense as ulven,but as its stand now,its a unique and a pretty solid family coaster,so if you have kids,go to racing,you might have fun.
