Theming Inversions Discomfort

Uncomfortable ugly pile of steel that desperatly try to stay intersting with another (and another, and anot...) inversion. Please Intamin, for the love of our sanity, stop manufacturing these pointless multi-inversion rides, it's no fun.

Theming Inversions Rattle Discomfort

If you like the Saw franchise, you will really like the theming and atmosphere of the queue and indoor part of the ride. The first inversion give a great hangtime, but after that it's... let's say good enough. It's good enough that I wil redo it again juste for the theming, but it's not an awesome time.

Fun Rattle Too short Layout

A B&M invert is always a great time, but this one is nothing more than that. It's short, not that intense and it's even slowly starting to rattle. Don't make it a priority in your day, do it if it's empty but that's it.

First Drop Theming Comfort

Theming is great (it's a big effort for a Thorpe Park ride at least), the dive drop is crazy fun and rest of the layout is very nice, nothing out of the ordinary but nice !

Launch Intensity Too short Layout

Incredible launch, aaaand... That's it.

Theming Theming Harness Discomfort

Was a masterpiece once, now a patchwork of nothingness with a modest launch at the beginning. Cherry on top, while the new trains make the ride rattle a bit less, the new harness make it a terrible restrictive and stressfull experience for most people. It's giving me a headache 100% of the time.

Theming Location

Very beautiful theming... Yeah, that's it.

Theming Location Pace Reliability

The most beautiful mine train in the world, the funniest coaster in the resort, the less often open coaster in the resort.

Theming Location Headbanging Harness Discomfort

Outch ! A beautiful ride that you absolutely have to see, but never ride ! Soooo painful

Airtimes Too short Capacity

You get some very nice airtime at the top, but you have to wait so long for such a short ride, it's a capacity nightmare in a park as big as this one !

Launch Rattle Theming Discomfort

Incomfortable 20yo vekoma looper with an ok theming. The launch is still a good time, but the rest is not really a good time, it's shaking a lot and there is not much to see. At least the Ironman animatronic is nice, too bad it's clearly where half of the retheming budget went. A Python's style retrack would have been greatly appreciated !

Fun Capacity Discomfort

Standard maurer spinning with a small outgrowth at the beginning. Nothing is really standing out, it's always fun to ride but the main part of the ride is in a big dark shed and the "dark ride" part at the beginning is really not enough to compensate that. And the capacity... My gosh the capacity ! It is absolutely dreadful for such a big park !

Fun Discomfort

If you are a kid, it's nice, not great, but nice. If you are an adult, it's fun but you WILL suffer. That's it, nothing more to say about it.

Theming Masterpiece Smoothness

Even if I find Toutatis to be a better coaster from a layout standpoint, Oz'Iris is still the real masterpiece of the Parc Asterix ! It's visually stunning, the egyptian area is easily the best themed area of the park and the queue and station are gorgeous. Nothing much to say on the coaster itself, it's as smooth as a 12yo coaster can be, it's hidding awesome elements like the "straight" line after the loop, or the 0g roll tucked away behind the temple with a scary footchopper for the left seats. It even have some serious intensity in its last helix !

Comfort Pace Duration Theming

A nice comfortable family ride. It's quite long and nicely paced with varied elements. I wouldn't mind the backward section beeing a bit longer, but it's still really good. The theming of the station is awesome, but a long part of the ride is along the car park, meh... And Medusa's temple is floating on thin air... There is nice ideas but it's not that well executed :/

First Drop Rattle Discomfort Tear it down!

It was an awesome ride before it's retrack, now it's just a big pile of wood begging to be teared down. Riding this is no fun at all ! All you do is beg for your life and try to limit the pain from the end of the (arguably quite nice) first drop until the start of the last helix. You can finaly recover when you reach this last helix since it's now so slow that you would almost have time to chat with the unsuspecting future riders in the queue bellow you. Bonus point for the new trains that are infinitely less comfortable that the first one if you are a big guy like me.

Location Rattle Discomfort

Veeery rattely bobsled, but still an enjoyable ride with a spectacular view of the area around it and the neighbouring ride Toutatis.

Theming Fun Discomfort

Painfull breaks, but still funny and nicely themed !

Location Rattle Headbanging Tear it down!

A very beautiful ride at a very beautiful spot over the lake. But that's all it is, a beautiful pile of steel, don't ever dare to ride it (please).

Airtimes Comfort Launch Dead spots

Very nice ride overall, it's easy to see why it's in most european enthusiast's top 10. The triple launch is quite powerful on it's third run, and the spike is my favorite part of the ride with a monumental airtime all the way down if you seat at the back. I find the trimmed top hat to be a not so interesting feature, only interesting at the front row where you dangle for quite a long time before going down. Lastly, the double up leading to the breaks is very intense, a lot more intense than anything before it and I find it very incomfortable.
