Coaster reviews

Airtimes Theming Pace Capacity

I don’t like the pre show that slows down the capacity, but the ride itself is magnificent, great pacing, theming and some good airtime. It’s certainly got better with age. Probably my favourite theming for any ride I’ve been on. Superb family-thrill coaster that is always great fun. Super lucky to have ridden 2 night rides on this.

Location Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

Probably the worst SLC I have ridden, you come off with red ears every time and I’m fairly sure that this ride deafens you on the ride due to the shear battering your ears take. The location is decent though. Everything else is horrendous.

Pace Too short

A mostly fun ride, but it’s definitely a “one and done” type. It builds up pace very well, but once it does, you enter the brake run.

Airtimes Lap Bar Fun Dead spots

Last time I rode this I really enjoyed it! It has been maintained really well, and the new track profiling is great. It offers enough floater airtime to make for a fun classic.

Intensity Smoothness Ejectors Capacity

One of the most underrated rides in the UK, a fast paced forceful ride that packs a serious punch. The ejector on the first drop is ridiculous, and it’s perfectly smooth. The restricted capacity does affect the long queues this ride frequently gets.

First Drop Fun Duration Discomfort Airtimes

A long, fun ride. Even if it lacks some airtime, it’s a myth that this ride has none, the profiling is odd, but it adds to the quirky nature of the ride. Is an extremely fun ride with some strong lateral moments and a wonderful location. Long too with a great lap bar restraint. The re tracking has certainly helped modernise the ride. That first drop is excellent too.

Airtimes Smoothness Hangtime Launch

You could say the 1st launch is underwhelming, but it never bothered me. This is a close contender for the UK’s number 1. Impeccable airtime and layout featuring many unique elements. I like the junior Immelmann after the 2nd launch the most. Also, the spinning train Enso is absolutely wild. Currently the best ride experience in the uk.

Inversions Intensity Hangtime Too short Discomfort

Shame to see this version of Shockwave go. The stand-up trains had their pros and cons. But it mostly made for a more unique experience, that zero g roll is incredible on stand up trains, and it’s very forceful. There is a little jolt whilst entering the first inversion, and the ride only consists of 4-5 elements. But I still really liked it. Not sure if the sit-down trains will enhance this coaster.

Not a good ride but better than Coastrider
