Coaster reviews

First Drop Lap Bar Fun Too short

Great first drop with a few fantastic elements. It feels a little short but is still an outstanding ride. Both back and front rows give great rides but I would recommend the front.

Airtimes Comfort Fun

Flat out airtime machine. Slight rattle in the back but it does not take away from the ride at all.

Inversions Intensity Layout Rattle Harness

Good first drop with intense inversions but the thing about this ride is the fact it is flat out rough. It also has the vest for some reason.

Theming Location Fun Dead spots

Really cute, albeit mild ride that's basically just a delivery system for that trademark Disney theming. If you manage to get a ride during the fireworks display, you'll be treated to some gorgeous, if fleeting, views of the display from angles not normally seen by most Disney patrons.

Smoothness Theming Reliability

I've been to Alton Towers a number of times over the past couple of years and Galactica always seems to be closed. It's a decent enough ride - I've never ridden it with the VR headset and it's relatively comfy but it barely packs a punch compared to Nemesis which is right next door. I can take it or leave it.

Capacity Inversions Intensity Discomfort Intensity

A very intense but amazing ride! Nemesis doesn't give you a break and I've found over the past few years that the queues are becoming surprisingly smaller! The theming is a little out-of-date now but this still continues to be (IMP) Alton Towers' most intense ride.

Harness Dead spots

Ride was pretty boring, and had totally unnecessary OTSRs that made the ride experience even more unenjoyable than it already was.

Airtimes Pace Fun Rattle Discomfort

A bit rough, but this CCI woodie delivers mad airtime. Definitely was not expecting to enjoy this one was much as I did, but that airtime was just too good.

Masterpiece Ejectors Headbanging Too short Layout

The ride kinda blows; but it's literally one of the most important coasters ever built, the first Arrow Corkscrew. This ride may be relocated, but it's still the same coaster that blew minds at Knott's in 1975 when it opened as the first modern inverting roller coaster. If you made the drive to this park, you might as well pay your respects and feel the history on the first Corkscrew. Also if you sit in the very back you get some nice ejector on the first drop.

Airtimes First Drop Theming

A much smoother CCI than the other woodie in the park, which is almost certainly due to the RMC topper track that was added in 2010 (RMC's HQ is literally a 10 minute drive away from the park btw, just in case you want to grab a pic or something). The airtime hills are super gnar in the back, and the earthquake theme even comes through in the form of all the tunnels you dive into. Tons of fun, and definitely worth a few re-rides if you can manage it.
