This is definitely the worse of the two sides I think - and my word is it uncomfortable. The lap bars are digging into your stomach, the sides are pressing against you, and the entire car is rattling the entire way. Some corners are quite fast which worsens the discomfort and rattle. It’s a horrible ride experience which overshadows everything else.

First time I went near the front and I was disappointed, but at the back it is a completely different experience and jumps straight into my favourites of all time. The airtime is absolutely incredible, and the feeling when you get pulled over that first drop is almost indescribable - you feel like you are definitely going to fall out thanks to the brilliant lap bars. (Do be warned - if you have really really long legs or are quite big, you will NOT fit so maybe check the restrictions before you go. I saw at least 3 people unable to ride). It has incredible views of the park as you go round, and is also quite long, with relatively fast operations (if they are running two trains!). The section through the water spray is also a nice touch. An amazing experience that you should not miss. Only con I can think of is it’s maybe missing an inversion somewhere? But I don’t really think it needs it, it’s a phenomenal ride.

Never been more disappointed in a coaster. The launch is extremely lack-luster, it launches from a rolling start and doesn’t really accelerate fast enough to that top speed point, zapping all the intensity out of it. It also has a terrible rattle around halfway down the straight at the back. The top hat is not bad, with really great views and some decent airtime, and of course it’s fast! For me it should all be about that launch and it just does not deliver in that regard. Special mention goes to it’s operations which ruined the experience for me. Staff will not let you queue for front seat - you cannot even let other people past you while you wait for the next one. This is mind boggling and I think is there to ensure people buy their speedy passes (which allow you to go front seat for an extra charge). Was not able to see if it was better in the front when I went a second time!

There’s no pros about this ride. None. It’s uncomfortable, slow, boring and flings you about all over the place. Saved from a half star by the racing element which is sort of fun (not that you have any control over the ride!)

I really like this ride which surprised me. It doesn’t look much, but it’s such a unique ride experience. So much airtime and sudden drops from both sides which you can’t see coming. Quite intense too! Downsides are that it’s slightly short and seats are not that comfortable, but it’s a really good ride and a nice surprise!

It’s a shame because some parts of it are quite good at the start, and the theming near the water is really photogenic. It just has the worst restrain...

It’s a shame because some parts of it are quite good at the start, and the theming near the water is really photogenic. It just has the worst restraints I’ve ever used, and is quite painful from the mid section onwards. There are also two inversions in a row that are probably the worst section of any rollercoaster in the world - it’s that bad. You’ll know it when you ride it!

A good fast coaster with incredible views of Blackpool beach - during the illuminations the view is incredible. Lap bars also add to it by feeling like you are going to fall out at the top. Just a bit too unconfortable at certain parts now.

It’s super rough but a lot of fun - was laughing all the way round! A big minus is the capacity - they usually run only one train which takes 24 people, and it takes 6 minutes to load/unload and complete a circuit which is mad!
