    Nice surprise! Location Layout

    Having read lots of reviews saying how rough this ride was, I was pleasantly surprised to find it nowhere near as uncomfortable as expected, and as su...

    Unique in the UK, good fun layout taken at a breakneck pace. However, the restraints can be uncomfortable, particularly when sharing a car, and the ri...

    Every time I've ridden this I've had a massive grin on my face. It's just such an enjoyable ride. My only real criticism is that a lot of the ride is ...

    First Drop Inversions

    I think the only negative thing I can say about this ride is that you have to climb a lot of stairs to reach the station! Once on the train, the drops...

    Airtimes First Drop Location Rattle

    I always enjoy a ride on The Big One. As its name suggests you can see it from miles around, and the first drop is very impressive. While it's a littl...

    Airtimes Layout Rattle Discomfort

    Good layout spoilt by a very uncomfortable ride. The airtime hills would be a lot more fun if you weren't hit in the stomach by the lap bar by the car...

    Location Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

    It's a Vekoma SLC, and it comes with all the associated rough riding and headbanging. Not recommended.

    Good fun family powered coaster, which winds around the Katanga Canyon area, and has good interactions with the adjacent rapids ride (it's customary t...

    Galactica (née Air) is a perfectly decent flying coaster, though it lacks the intensity of other similar rides I've experienced. The new portal is a w...

    Still my favourite coaster in the UK. It packs a punch from the moment you come off the lift hill and doesn't let up until you hit the brakes. The ver...

    Beautiful theming and a fast, exciting ride, though with a few dead spots where it just seems to be trundling along waiting for the next drop. A worth...

    Does what it does excellently. The slow, steep lift hill builds anticipation, there's a great view across the valley from the top. Then you're held at...

    A visually impressive ride, that's a lot of fun to ride. There's a hell of a lot of track squeezed in to a very small footprint, and the layout is wel...

    Launch Rattle Headbanging Too short

    Not a patch on Stealth. The launch isn't quite as intense (though still fun), and the rough ride through the corners can cause headbanging. It feels l...

    Airtimes Capacity Nice surprise! Too short Intensity

    A good family coaster with a twist. The fun in this comes from watching other riders who don't know what's about to happen. The outdoor section could ...

    Fun spinning coaster. The horseshoe element in particular is very enjoyable, but the block brakes are violent and at the first sign of rain capacity i...

    A good fun junior/family coaster, smooth and enjoyable. Original Ben 10 theming was well done, generic theming not so good but the ride itself is wort...

    Better than Spinball Whizzer at Alton Towers - a longer and more fun layout, and always an enjoyable ride so long as your car spins well. The main dow...

    A decent length, fun ride, though a shadow of its former self, particularly in terms of its once-elaborate theming. Capacity also seems poor, it devel...

    This ride can really hurt. All the brakes are sharp and throw you around. Although some of the drops are fun, I find this more painful than fun. It ca...
