Blue Tornado - Gardaland

Dave Scott 5 years ago

Discomfort

This ride has served its purpose,to put Gardaland on the map. Nicely themed and consistently running 3 train ops, something unheard of for many slcs. The extra helix is the smoothest part of the ride by a mile, however the ride as a whole has had its time - it's done it's job. Time to remove it and move on

Pace Fun Harness Rattle

HOLY CRAP! Why does this ride get so much hate? I gave myself a little bit of room with the lap bar and I got STANDING AIRTIME on the first drop! Whoever says it's forceless or has no airtime is wrong. A first turn with a grey-out, a first drop with great ejector, 2 other ejector hills and a great floater hill, this ride keeps it's speed very well! There is a rattle, but it's honestly not the worst rattle in the world.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Hangtime

Regular visitor to the pleasure beach but this was my first visit since the ride opened and it was way better than I expected. The launches are punchy if not intense, the airtime is solid and lasts much of the way round and the hangtime on the inline twist and the immelmann is excellent. The operations and dispatch times are also fantastic. Great addition to the park.

Swarm - Thorpe Park

First Drop Theming Smoothness Too short

At the moment, Swarm is my favourite ride at Thorpe Park and my #1 coaster. It probably isn't the best wing coaster out there and it is frustratingly short, but the sense of speed, hangtime and the absolute size of this lad make for an excellent ride. The atmosphere in the plaza is great too, with some decent theming and great headchoppers. For me, the best row is the front for the views, speed and near-misses, but the back is good if you want to experience any force at all.

Fury 325 - Carowinds

Airtimes Capacity Layout Rattle Dead spots

Fury is a front row coaster for me. I can't get much airtime difference at the back, and the front row airtime is up-forward style. However this style of airtime is common to see on other B&M Hypers. Another reason for front row is too much rattle in the back and even in the middle. The bottom of the first drop rattles to death. The tunnel is the best part of this coaster, especially in the night.

Airtimes Pace Layout Harness Discomfort

The near the end roll feels not the good. The incline before lift hill is a very delightful appetizer. The lift hill starts very weird, very slow at the beginning. Back row is the best seat, but I still recommend have 1 ride in the front. After all the whole layout is very good, much better than Twisted Timbers.
