My favourite coaster currently. Superb first drop. Great height (still the highest in the UK and could stay that way for some time). Great speed. Not nauseating at all so is superb if you can't handle repeated airtime / too much G force. Very thrilling because of the location and constant high ride heights. One of the best decisions ever for the theme park / coaster industry was to build this coaster. Kept Blackpool on the map for a long time. Could perhaps do with a re-theme. Some music as what was done with Icon would be amazing.

I was looking forward to this ride.. although actually found it pretty painful, and it made me feel a bit sick.. i love the huge vulture statue out the front tho! ;-)

So I was dreading riding this because of its age (and we all know Vekoma's don't really age that well ;-) .. but having said that I rode in dec 2018 (so after it's refurb, new restraints and new track..) and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was !! I think the new restraints made a big difference.. and it was actually pretty intense in some places.. It was ok. Not my fav style of ride tho.. i prefer bigger drops and launches ;)

I'm not normally a huge fan of woodies.. but I actually really enjoyed both sides of Joris! The pace is insane! Throws you around the corners (and into the person next to you ...) the first drop on both sides is a lot of fun, quite a lot of airtime there.. a bit rough on the back section.. but overall pretty fun :) Just the cars are a bit uncomfortable.. i felt very squashed in.

I wasn't too sure what to expect from this.. but I was pleasantly surprised.. The dark ride section is pretty cool.. nice themed queue line.. the outdoor coaster section was actually pretty fun, even got a bit of air time at one point ! :P I like that you don't get soaked.. and its pretty cool to see the track is actually under the water.. pretty unique and makes for a cool off ride look :)
What the actual **** was this! I was terrified the whole way round it was going to come off the track or something.. can this really be classed as a c...
What the actual **** was this! I was terrified the whole way round it was going to come off the track or something.. can this really be classed as a coaster? more like a bobsled gone wrong! It was super painful and no fun at all !! Tear it down !!

I'm a huuge fan of dive machines so this is probably a bit biased :P But I really really love the Baron :D It's soo comfy and soo smooth! (I rode in Dec 2018) .. I got 5 rides in a day, 1 night ride (which was awesome looking up to the stars on the lifthill!!)
It's unique to not have the turn around section at the top.. but i think i prefer it with the turn around.. of course its big let down (as with all dive machines) is that its over waay to soon !! But I still love it and is up there with my top coasters just cuss i enjoyed it so much ! (and the theming and track color is pretty awesome!)
1/2 star is too high! An interesting "feature" was that this ride could be despatched without the restraints being locked - and remember quite clearly...
1/2 star is too high! An interesting "feature" was that this ride could be despatched without the restraints being locked - and remember quite clearly having to hold them down for a mate sat next to me!

The Crash National. Sorry. 20 years ago this was a 4-star attraction. Maybe we're spoiled by 20-years worth of accumulated experience elsewhere but there are coasters of comparable vintage in a far better state than this (Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens for instance, or most of Kennywood).
