Honestly don‘t have a single clue how this ride gets so much criticism and not more praise. Recorded the highest G-Forces of any B&M inverts on this and loved the layout. It looks absolutely gorgeous and has the best looking station at Thorpe Park. May even rank it above Black Mamba and hope people won‘t lynch me.

First thought it was the best wing coaster I had done but can‘t really tell what made it better than and other wing coaster except being more intense. Thus I can‘t give it a better rating than the other big wing coasters I‘ve done.

By far the best launch I have experienced. No need to complain about the length since it would never have been longer than this. It ends just as fast as it starts and is a rush unlike any other ride I have done.

Even when it was officially announced I could not believe that this thing would actually be build. It looked like it came straight out of Planet Coaster and way to ambitious. As the first pieces went vertical, this disbelief turned into awe. With big ambitions though often come many setbacks and those became the standard for Hyperia. Is it the Masterpiece many, including me , hoped for? No. But it is a darn incredible roller coaster. The first four elements all qualify for being the world‘s best of their kind. The dive-loop/stall, being my favorite element on Hyperia and favorite inversion overall, should be considered one of the best rollercoaster elements in the world. Even though it is way to short it found its way into my personal Top 5.

The drop goes on forever and is only further enhanced by the tunnel, making you hit a wall of cold air inside it. That alone means it isn‘t the worst ...

The drop goes on forever and is only further enhanced by the tunnel, making you hit a wall of cold air inside it. That alone means it isn‘t the worst Dive Coaster for me.

This was the biggest surprise in all of England for me. Since I am not a big fan of GCI, Wickerman exceeded all expectations and became my favorite GCI. Unlike any other, it had legitimate airtime on top of the out-of-controll feeling. The theming looks fantastic as well and perfectly blends in with the wooden supports.

Smiler takes “quantity over quality“ to the next level. Unbelievably long and packed with 14 inversions that all feel kinda the same. Had some nice hangtime in the front row but nothing else really stuck with me.

Nemesis always was this ”cool“ roller coaster that didn‘t necessarily stand out by its actual riding experience and rather its interesting theming and landscaping. This certainly did not change with the retracking and retheming. Nevertheless does it have a great layout with high intensity here and there but not as good as I hoped.

Only credit I got across the pond and since I wasn't even an enthusiast back then I can't properly rate this. Still remember enough to know that I really enjoyed it though it wasn't extraordinary by any means.

Big Dipper is an absolute blast. Fascinating and charming while being totally bearable in terms of roughness. Some nice airtime as well. My favorite woody at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Had both the worst and best ride possible on Grand National. It either resembles a torture mashine or gives you the most outrageous and out-of-controll rides possible. So if the first time wasn't nice, you have to do it twice.

Most uncomfortable ride I ever had. I can't imagine how anyone could enjoy this ride. Best thing about it is the lifthill or more likely, the brakerun since you have already survived it then.

Icon could have been an incredible roller coaster by using it's setting inside one of the densest parks out there as an advantage. Instead, it's slow and sluggish. Weak launch, minor airtime and elongated curves are what characterizes this ride. Enso may improve the experience but is not only unreliable but not even included in the parks admission.
