Coaster reviews

Smoothness Disappointing! Launch

Oh boy. I REALLY wanted to like this coaster, but I just could not enjoy it. I went on it twice and it seems my co-riders agreed with me - I have never been on such a silent ride in my life. Nobody screamed, cheered or even spoke! It’s not that it’s bad - it’s just not good. Anyone who has been on an Intamin multi launch will, I’m afraid, be disappointed by this.

Rattle Dead spots

The coaster trains are a little plane.

Intensity Headbanging

It's not as bad as I feared. Just manage your expectations.

Inversions Pace Intensity Rattle

I love this ride, great length, very intense and brilliant inversions. Sometimes there is no rattle at all, and sometimes the rattle does make it a bit uncomfortable - not sure if this is due to positioning in the train or certain trains. Best coaster at Alton Towers in my opinion, closely followed by Nemesis.

Airtimes Inversions Location

Wildfire is so cool. The Setting really makes it stunning to me! The Layout has good Variation betwern pure airtime, 3 very different inversions and low to the ground speed Moments, that combined with the views and the Nature makes for an Elite experience. the 1-2-3 punch is amazing. The wait times are very short through the whole day (i waited 2 trains at most) since its a zoo for families and not an amusement Park. Solid #3 in my list, i would ride it anytime if i had the opportunity ^^

Airtimes Comfort Ejectors

Fantastic coaster, my favourite that I've ridden so far! The initial section with the hangtime inversion is great fun, and then you move into the main triple launch, which is super intense but still very comfortable thanks to great restraints. So much airtime and a great layout, and the comfort means you can ride it over and over. Rode it 4 times on my visit. Single rider queue was a good option.

Airtimes Rattle Discomfort Layout

Good first drop but overall found the rattle and discomfort a bit much for me. Train could also have been more comfortable. Line was very long despite being there on a quiet weekday.

Airtimes Fun Layout Dead spots

For a family coaster I thought this was excellent and rode it 3 times. Not much intensity but loads of fun, a great introduction for those new to thrill rides! Some decent airtime when riding at the back.

First Drop Comfort Layout

Great inverted coaster - I particularly loved the first drop, and thought the layout was fun. Small amount of rattle but overall very comfortable! Rode this one twice.

Location Intensity Rattle Headbanging

Given the reviews I was expecting this to be a lot worse. The headrests are very soft so as long as you brace for the ride duration you can avoid too much headbanging. I thought this ride had good intensity and a fun first drop. Visited on a weekday so no queue - don't think I would bother queuing for a long time to ride it.
