Coaster reviews

Theming Fun Headbanging Discomfort Dead spots

The first minute of the ride is very dead, just a couple of small drops which is all very slow paced, the drop into the loop is quite fun and the loop is pretty intense due to the speed you’re going and the size of it. The helix straight after is also quite compact and intense. Other than that there’s just dead spots, the theming is amazing though especially throughout the queue line!

First Drop Ejectors Hangtime Too short Lap Bar

This ride is just insane and I love it, the vertical lift seems to just go on forever and then you get some INSANE hangtime after the climb which is just never ending, the drop is steep and fast, the over-banked curve is intense and did make me grey out a bit!! The quick pop of airtime really does eject you out your seat and I love it!! The ride is really smooth overall just the lap bars are very uncomfortable which do dig into your hips and I’d wish the ride went on for a bit longer as it’s over in the blink of an eye!

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness Too short

Family coaster which took me by suprise, a nice fun experience with some decent elements. A smooth experience just very very short.

Layout Duration Rattle Discomfort

Not the biggest fan of this type of ride, the layout itself was fun and lasted for a while but the experience wasn’t the most enjoyable. The brakes are harsh and the ride is quite rattly. It has some decent near misses though especially when going into the cave.

Inversions Location Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

I personally didn’t mind this coaster, it’s rare and only one of two of its kind. It is very rough and you will hit your head! But the layout is quite fun and the location is oddly pretty!!

Masterpiece Ejectors Hangtime

I was not disappointed when I first rode this, had to keep re-riding!! The theming is excellent, each of the launches are decent, not too intense but still fun!! Every inversion gives some great hangtime the stall in particular is immense, the top-hat gives some great views over the park just wish it didn’t have the trims, would rather fly over like velocicoaster!! The only bit I personally didn’t like was the way the ride suddenly stopped on the half pipe kind of ruined the pacing. But the ride itself is a MASTERPIECE, every element is unique. Definitely best ride I’ve ridden so far!

Airtimes First Drop Duration Rattle Discomfort

A would go for 5 stars on this but my ride on this was quite disappointing due to it being ruined by a really bad rattle worst I’ve felt yet! Did impact my body and put me off the day for a bit. Other than that the duration is excellent, the first drop is awesome, has some nice pops of airtime and the inversions are smooth and relaxing, just at higher speeds the rattle kicks in…

First Drop Lap Bar Nice surprise! Dead spots

Took me by surprise this family coaster, really was enjoyable! The first drop gives some nice airtime and the two helix’s are very disorienting. The lap bars are comfy and the ride is smooth. Unfortunate there are a few dead spots near the end of the ride but overall it’s pretty decent!

Comfort Smoothness Hangtime

No bad things to say about Swarm… a smooth and comfortable ride experience with some very good hangtime on each inversion, no means intense at all, just relaxing! Like you’re flying!! Theming around the Swarm Island is amazing too and adds to the experience.

Inversions Pace Intensity

I have nothing bad at all to say about this ride, an underrated invert with some insane intensity. Each inversion throws you around and it does become really disorienting after the 3rd corkscrew, but it will make you dizzy! Not massively but you’ll notice when you step off... The entire ride is smooth and enjoyable. Always love coming back to this.

First Drop Theming Rattle Intensity Reliability

Unpopular opinion, but I think this is one of my favourite rides at Thorpe Park (yet to ride Hyperia) the entire experience starting from the queue is AMAZING, the theming throughout the queue line is stunning and it continues all the way into the station. It’s probably one of the most exciting queues you’ll experience. The ride itself, I don’t think it is as rough as people say it is, it’s by no means smooth but it’s not headbangy either… it’s a nice fun layout but in my opinion lacks intensity a bit, but you do get some great hangtime over the bathroom scene (heartline roll). But the experience is FANTASTIC.

Airtimes Launch Intensity Headbanging Too short

An incredibly fun coaster with one of the most insane launches you’ll ever feel, you feel it throughout your body! The top hat gives some great floater airtime with some nice views over the park…for about 2 seconds…. Unfortunately this ride is ageing a bit so it does become quite rough and a bit ‘headbangy’ as you ascend up 207 feet!!

Inversions Pace Headbanging Discomfort

Enjoy riding due to it being the worlds first ‘10 looping’ coaster, each inversion is quite intense giving some good positive g’s and lots of hangtime on the 5 heart line rolls!! Unfortunately this ride is not smooth… you will get off with a big headache, it’s a really fun ride though other than the roughness.

Theming Smoothness Dead spots Intensity

A fun little family coaster with great theming and live actors!! Simple layout lacking intensity but is nice and smooth. I tend to take in all the effects while riding it!

Theming Harness Hangtime Rattle Capacity

A well themed and fairly intense rollercoaster with three suprisingly punchy launches, one which launches you backwards up a half pipe which gives you a great quick pop of airtime. The second launch heading into the layout is quite intense. The heartline roll after the launch is incredibly fun giving some insane hangtime the second launch up into the upwards helix is quite punchy but the helix is ruined by a distinctive rattle which ruins the experience, it is particularly worse when going backwards down the helix. Rest of the ride is smooth as anything and is a perfect beginner coaster!!

Airtimes Smoothness Layout Theming Capacity Dead spots

Never been a fan of these types of spinners purely because they mess with my head, but Dragons Fury is definitely one of my favourites of this type, with a well spread out layout with some great pops of airtime at points. Its a surprisingly smooth ride too for its age!!

Capacity Location Duration Rattle Discomfort Reliability

A true nostalgic classic to me this ride is. Being one of the first coasters i'd ever ridden from the age of 6! Upsets me to see this ride age and get extremely rough and rattly, with the ride breaking down a fair amount too.

Theming Fun Discomfort

I mean it's alright, its not designed to be comfortable. I personally find the sharp turns quite fun and entertaining, the rest of the ride is just a bit dead and uncomfortable.
