Sik is definitely the best coaster at Flamingo Land and offers mostly good inversions and forces, but the heartline rolls really hurt my waist with the lap bar for some reason. The fact it only has one train doesn't help either given that it's the park's signature coaster but it's mostly solid.

This was my first coaster with inversions and I loved it when i first rode it, but now, its probably my least favourite major ride at Towers. Its smoo...

This was my first coaster with inversions and I loved it when i first rode it, but now, its probably my least favourite major ride at Towers. Its smooth and has some nice forces but it seems to meander a lot in between. I can mostly look past this however since it was B&M's first attempt at a flying coaster and they were limited to the treeline height.

It's been a while since I rode it but I really enjoyed Thunder Mountain for it's fantastic theming and fun coaster experience. It also gave very good night rides.

In 2022, I wasn't the biggest fan of Khan since it has a rattle and some headbanging but this year, I got to ride it again in the front row and had much better rides overall where I could fully appreciate the intense forces it offers.

Loved Tron, the atmosphere and theming was very nice and the launch was more intense than I expected. My only con is that it's a little short especially for a Disney coaster. I also rode this for the first time on Halloween funnily enough.

My favourite ride at Studios, had great theming mixed with a fun fairly intense coaster section, I won't give spoilers but the tricks it has are brilliant.

Cheetah Hunt gets too much hate. It's such a fun coaster with a long layout and a wide selection of forces. The airtime it has is good ejector, the heartline roll has great hangtime and the s bends offer great varied laterals.

This coaster redefined standing airtime. Had two epic front row rides on it and I love the gimmick of the surf coaster. I didn't expect this to be my second favourite ride at SeaWorld Orlando but Pipeline makes me excited for the future of the surf coaster.

Expedition Everest lived up to the hype and was a very enjoyable coaster offering great theming and a purely fun ride experience. I just wish that the yeti animatronic would work as that would elevate the ride even more.

Kumba was very forceful and offered some great positive g's and inversions, but it did have a very noticeable rattle. If it were smoother, it would be a lot higher up in my rankings but it's not bad by any means.

I was honestly quite disappointed by Hulk, the one ride i had on it was very rattly and induced a lot of headbanging. However, it was on a middle row ...

I was honestly quite disappointed by Hulk, the one ride i had on it was very rattly and induced a lot of headbanging. However, it was on a middle row and it could have been a one off so hopefully, I can return and give this coaster another chance as I did like the intense inversions it had.

SheiKra is honestly in my top 3 at Busch Gardens Tampa. it exceeded my expectations, packed a fantastically floaty drop and offered a very smooth ride. The front row on any dive coaster is great but especially this one.

Silver Star is a solid coaster with some good floater airtime in the first half and great ejetor airtime in the seocnd half. The theming could be a lot better considering it's at Europa Park but the coaster itself is still great.

Red Force truly lives up to its Ferrari theme, it is insanely fast and the pacing is world class. Still the tallest and fastest coaster I've ever been on and worth the price of admission to Ferrari Land alone.

Manta is easily the most intense coaster I've ridden. I had never done a pretzel loop before this and I felt like I about to be forced through the train. The other inversions were very floaty and enjoyable however and the water splashdown looks very cool on and offride.

A very well rounded invert combined with fantastic terrain usage and theming, Black Mamba fits the area of Africa so well and despite being slightly overshadowed by F.L.Y. and Taron, it still offers enough to stand out in their line-up.

Only rode it once but it was a very impressive, fun and diverse indoor coaster. Would have liked more animatronics like Hagrid's instead of screens but the coaster itself didn't have any flaws for me.

My 3rd favourite B&M invert after Black Mamba and Nemesis Reborn. Montu was very intense and every inversion was memorable thanks to the trenches that gave consistent near misses throughout.

It makes sense that this coaster had a $300 million budget, it's the best family coaster I've ever been on, it goes on forever, the theming/animatronics are stunning and this is my personal favourite night ride ever.

I only rode F.L.Y. once but it was a front row and was incredible. Probably the best themed roller coaster in the world and it featured some surprising airtime and intense positive forces. Both this and Taron alone make Phantasialand a destination for coaster enthusiasts.

Taron really impressed me, the theming is mind blowing and the launches pack some potent force. It reminds me a lot of Icon but with a more intense layout. It doesn't have the most airtime compared to other launch coasters but the snappy transitions and incredible atmosphere more than compensate.

I only rode it twice during my visit and in a middle row so I didn't get the best feel for it but I still really enjoyed the diverse layout and punchy elements VelociCoaster provided. I hope to get back to Florida someday and get a better feel for it.

This was probably the sleeper hit of my trip to Germany. The launch was more forceful than I expected, there were some good airtime moments and all the inversions had wonderful hangtime. Also, you just can't go wrong with the Mack rides lap bars.

Probably my favourite coaster at Towers since it has world class theming, great airtime and solid pacing. I think the pre show is also one of the best ever conceived personally.

Smiler is a very unique and enjoyable coaster in my opinion, most of the inversions are smooth and the two airtime hills have great ejector moments. The theming is brilliantly demented and adds an interesting personality to the coaster.

I have been on this every year since 2019 at Winter Wonderland and its actually more forceful than most other coasters I've ridden. The vertical loops all pack fantastic forces, it's a decently long ride and I find it very smooth.

The coaster itself is very solid with some cool tricks and elements but the theming really lacks during the main layout and there was so much potential for this aspect. Still a good supporting coaster however.

An iconic coaster that gets too much hate in my opinion. It's definitely not that smooth but who would expect anything more from an Arrow hyper coaster built in the 90s? The first drop is genuinely terrifying in the back car (in a good way), its a very long ride and the location by the Irish sea is unmatched in the UK.
