Coaster reviews

Theming Fun Lap Bar

The downward helix into the tunnel is surprisingly intense for a kids coaster, with some great near misses. This is very old coaster now, which isn't great compared to modern mine trains but is great for kids and surprisingly fun for adults.

Airtimes Launch Fun Too short Dead spots Reliability

Wayyy too short for what it is, but still a very fun ride, especially the launch, and over way too soon. The loading is very slow considering how short the ride is, and therefore it's not worth queuing for ages for the experience, but unfortunately queues are often long. The restraints absolutely stink and need replacing, obviously never been cleaned or replaced in 20 years! Often breaks down throughout the day. Brilliant if you ride near the front, but quite uncomfortable at the back. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets, it's a solid fun ride, but it is one of the weaker coasters at AT.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Disappointing! Dead spots Reliability

Biggest let down of any coaster in terms of what was delivered Vs what was promised / hyped by the park that ordered and installed it. This is a relatively fun and fairly gentle mine-train ride with good theming, and a single mildly-thrilling gimmick. Nothing more. It's fine but I don't think it deserves to be ranked as high as it is here. Fairly unreliable hill lift system too. This was hyped as 'the scariest and most intense roller coaster ever devised' and it didn't deliver at all, so I can't rate it. It's ok, but probably the weakest main coaster at AT in my opinion. Wouldn't be sad if it was replaced.

Theming Intensity Layout

Incredible theming and pre-show. Really intense for a wooden rollercoaster and also feels much faster than it is. Probably my favourite wooden coaster of all time.

Inversions Fun Intensity Too short Theming

Very underrated coaster and surprisingly good for such a small park. Quite intense with great drop and inversions. Let down by very short duration although understandable given lack of space, and total lack of any theming. Great views from the top though.

Rattle Headbanging Tear it down!

Not a fan, and no idea why this is so popular. It's incredibly jolty and rattle to a level that's painful. Not a fan of the spinning given the lack of smoothness. Weird that it's considered a family coaster when it's more 'intense' in terms of discomfort than many of the more 'intimidating' coasters at AT. The 'family-friendly' theming is misleading.

Inversions Intensity Duration Rattle Headbanging

Developing a seriously bad rattle and some very harsh jolting particularly on the final section. It's great if you are at the front, but quite painful and head banging if sat at the back. Also theming is looking shabby with some effects turned off when I rode the last few visits. It's a great ride if sat at the front, and really good because of the length, duration, theming concept, single rider queue and the world record of inversions but as you can't queue for the front seat it's total luck where you sit in a carriage, and when sat at the back it's just not enjoyable due to rattle and jolt. For that reason can't rate it highly anymore as experience is too inconsistent.

Inversions Fun Smoothness Theming

Hugely underrated coaster, let down by poor theming, however it's such a relaxing experience and really does give the experience of flying. Some great near misses and the fly-to-lie section is quite frankly amazing. I could ride this coaster all day long.

Capacity Smoothness Hangtime Too short

Yes there are other drop-coasters that are higher, steeper and faster, however none match the sheer thrill of oblivion with the near vertical drop into a dark misty chasm where you can't see the bottom. No matter how many times I ride it, it hits with thrills every single time.

Inversions Masterpiece Intensity Rattle

Amazing, especially since the re-track. Deserves the reputation as one of the best in Europe. Masterpiece.
