This ride surprised the heck out of me, the transitions as you get to the fastest part of the ride are insane. Let's not forget how great the station theme is.

The theme to this ride is incredibly well done. On a good day there are some great pops of airtime throughout the layout. My biggest gripe is the assigned seating making it impossible to choose a back row ride except by chance.

Zooming through the forest on this is great fun. The drop track is a great novelty to scare people who don't know it's there, but I'm always left wishing that the drop section was taller.

Deserves nothing less than 5 stars. It somehow manages to have 14 inversions yet never get boring. It's relentless from start to finish. I absolutely ...

Deserves nothing less than 5 stars. It somehow manages to have 14 inversions yet never get boring. It's relentless from start to finish. I absolutely love the rolled drops, airtime hills, the sea serpent roll, and the two consecutive rolls towards the end. Right now I can't pick between this and Nemesis as my favourite UK rides, maybe one day I'll resolve it. It can sometimes be uncomfortable, but for me that doesn't detract from the experience at all. My last ride on it was butter smooth apart from the infamous bump at the cobra roll.

The drop is the best in the UK. Worth 4 stars on its own, dive coasters don't really need anything else. The hole you dive into also has an incredible...

The drop is the best in the UK. Worth 4 stars on its own, dive coasters don't really need anything else. The hole you dive into also has an incredible effect.

Goliath is a top 10 coaster for me. It delivers great airtime on every hill (most notably, the hill that hops over the train tracks) and the helix delivers some decent intensity. I love how this coaster creatively goes outside the park and weaves its way back in. However... the ride operators are very strict on this coaster, and have stapled me on all but one time on Goliath (hence the 4.5-star rating, from that single outstanding lap)!

I love Nemesis. Not for its "intensity" as advertised, (far more intense coasters exist out there) but for the relentless layout that seems to build s...

I love Nemesis. Not for its "intensity" as advertised, (far more intense coasters exist out there) but for the relentless layout that seems to build speed as you traverse it, the dives into the valleys after every element, and especially that zero G roll with the near miss. I honestly couldn't care less that I sometimes get my head whipped against the restraint in the inversions, everything else makes up for it.
