Coaster reviews

First Drop Pace

Love GCIs and this is a decent one - nothing extreme, but feels fast and verges on wild. Good variety of hills and valleys and the nice bit with goats at the end is good. First drop is surprisingly precipitous and its beautifully themed as well - no complaints.

Theming Discomfort

Painful and forgettable, honestly. quite zippy, I guess? nice to be out among the trees.Best thing about it is the queue which has been rethemed to a convincing looking school locker room and is fun and well done. But yeah, one and done for me.

I havn't been on this in many years now, as unfortunately last time I went it was still down for repairs after hurricane Irma damage! :( .. but as I remember it an awesomely themed water ride, the drops are really fun, and if i remember right you get pretty wet.. always seemed to take a while until you got a drop though.. but a solid water ride :)

Theming Fun Duration Discomfort

Wow what to say about this! Having closely followed the construction it was amazing to finally be stood in this incredibly themed area ! It's amazing to see the mess of track everywhere, its so hard to see where the track goes sometimes ! So much interaction with the themeing and it twists and turns around itself so much in such a compact space! The color of the track looks epic against the black and gold steam punk themeing of the area. The queue line is ridiculously long ! takes 10 mins pretty much to just walk through it ! I wonder if they don't have a way to shorten it when the line isn't that long because it is a long way to walk when there is no line. Although you get amazing views of the coaster and the area while waiting in line. The system of how you load and how you twist into the flying position is so unique and much much better than other flying coasters out there. Of course the launches are not amazing, but the fact that you're in the flying position makes it really fun. the layout is awesome and you can never tell whats coming next, on the back row you really get whipped around its a lot of fun ! I sadly didn't get to try on the front, but that must be special. My first ride I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the harness and even the leg supports, very different to the B&M flyers. However I did have a terrible and painful 2nd ride on this which I was disappointed by. We were in row 2 and it felt like my restraint wasn't tight enough so the full pressure was resting on my lower stomach (I had a c section 1 year ago and the pressure on this area hurt a lot ! ) I constantly felt like I was slipping out of the seat and was in pain it was really not a pleasant experience. It nearly made me avoid it the next day as I was worried it would be the same. But luckily I found a better position and then really enjoyed my 3rd ride ! I'm not a huge fan of flying coasters, I much prefer faster launches and airtime but the overall theming and experience is pretty epic !

Nice surprise! Fun Rattle

Not actually ridden this since the Galactica re-theme.. its still Air to me ;) It was my first flying coaster, and i remember loving it ! the sensations were awesome, and the roll is so much fun ! Overall really enjoyed it (as Air)

Airtimes Fun Smoothness Theming Dead spots

I'm not normally a massive fan of woodies.. but i'll make an exception for Balder! Unfortunately only got to ride it once on the front row (queues then got to over 1h, so i chose to wait for helix instead!) so I think this might get 5 stars on the back row as It must be much faster. It felt a little slow at places on the front.. buut.. airtime ! Yes! So fun.. and surprisingly smooth :) Lots of 'head choppers' .. good solid ride :)

Comfort Pace Fun

I really enjoyed this coaster :) the lines were huuuge though, I actually really wanted to ride it so I paid for the quick queue which I think was worth it.

Fun Too short

Weird restraints, nothing too crazy ride wise as it is a family coaster.

Disappointing!

Not much to say about this one. Wasn’t anything special.

Fun

Fun ride for what it is. Was surprisingly smooth as well.
