Coaster reviews

Lap Bar Too short Theming Discomfort

I rode this once on the back row on opening day, and it was underwhelming. It doesn't feel or look as tall as The Big One. It's not rough, but the layout feels jerky and unnatural, and it's over way too fast. The theming is abysmally bad; the attempts at theming they've done are worse than nothing. People who think this is the best coaster in the UK are clowns; it's not even the best at Thorpe Park.

Pace Fun Rattle Capacity

When I first rode Grand National, I was scared that it was going to be rough (as most coaster enthusiasts say), but it's actually not that bad. Even on the back row, I don't find it painful. The ride itself has good pacing, and it gets more intense towards the end. However, the ride is looking tired and clearly needs a lick of paint, but it still rides fun, and I hope they refurbish it like they did with the Big Dipper. I also think both sides ride the same and don't make a difference, and sitting on a wheel seat doesn't make much difference either. Overall, this coaster is well worth a ride.

Location Fun Duration Rattle Capacity

I've ridden this ride quite often, and I was surprised to see it ranked so low on this site. I think this ride is quirky and underrated, and it's a nice one to take a break with.

Rattle Harness Tear it down!

This is genuinely the worst ride I've ever ridden. I expected a somewhat boring kiddie-coaster, but the actual ride is horrible. It jolts you into every drop, and the restraints staple me. The profiling is the worst I've ever experienced too. AVOID!!!

Location Masterpiece Intensity Theming

This is a great ride. I first rode Nemesis Reborn towards the front of the train and was disappointed by the intensity. However, it rides completely differently on the back row; the back is very intense and is the best place to sit on the ride. The operators always allow you to sit at the back. The theming of Nemesis Reborn is the only thing I dislike about it. It feels like it belongs in X-Sector, and the charm from the original ride is lost.

Theming Masterpiece Intensity

This ride is excellent, very underrated. It has a very intense drop with good floater airtime, awesome theming, and it has a great roar. The layout is short, but I feel like that's a good thing because it adds extra emphasis to the drop.

Duration Rattle Headbanging Tear it down!

Very overrated ride, hyped up by everyone, yet it's very rough with a rather boring layout, a garbage soundtrack, and mediocre theming. Sometimes it rides decently smooth, but most of the time, it feels like riding on sandpaper.

Airtimes Location Masterpiece

Awesome ride, surprisingly smooth for its age, and has some nice airtime.
