Good fun woodie but quite tame, not much airtime. Still enjoyed it though! Let down by the small trains - even with 2 trains running the capacity was atrocious and it doesn't help that the Plopsaland queue times are completely made up.

Fun launch and the first top hat it fun. However the launch is not on the same level as Intamin blitz coasters or the likes of Stealth. After the top ...

Fun launch and the first top hat it fun. However the launch is not on the same level as Intamin blitz coasters or the likes of Stealth. After the top hat I honestly found it a bit lacking in forces and didn't really enjoy the latter half. Operations were atrocious on my visit which didn't help with the long queue.

For a family coaster I thought this was excellent and rode it 3 times. Not much intensity but loads of fun, a great introduction for those new to thrill rides! Some decent airtime when riding at the back.

Rode this in the pouring rain and it was an experience! Really didn't find this too rough with the new restraints - no headbanging. The front is smoother than the back. The intensity is great throughout. Having ridden this and Vampire I honestly think Vampire is a lot worse.

My first RMC - it was an extremely windy day and later in the day was pouring with rain - so was quite a unique experience! And I expect it wasn't running as fast as it would be on a hot day. But I was very slightly underwhelmed. The ride was great fun and silky smooth but whilst there were good ejector moments there wasn't as much sustained airtime as I was hoping for. Still easily in my top 5 but definitely prefer the Intamin blitz coasters. May change my mind after riding more RMCs though!

Theming in the queue and the station is cool. The launch is decent. But after the launch it felt a bit lacking - had quite a rattle and didn't really do much in terms of forces.

Enjoyed this about the same as Expedition GeForce I think. Great airtime throughout - floaters at the front and ejectors at the back. First drop was good from the back but not as good as GeForce.

So unique, never ridden anything quite like it. The suspense before that first drop is amazing and the whole ride is intense. A bit of headbanging in ...

So unique, never ridden anything quite like it. The suspense before that first drop is amazing and the whole ride is intense. A bit of headbanging in the back row but smooth in the front.

My first bobsleigh ride and I thought it was a fun one. Followed the advice in the reviews to ride alone, and stay sitting a bit forwards not touching the backrest and this helped the comfort a lot. Due to capacity there are a lot of break runs which does create some dead spots, but overall it was still a fun ride for me.

Hands down the worst coaster I've ever ridden. I thought the reviews were being dramatic but no. Incredibly painful ride experience, my neck was in so much pain afterwards. The train shakes so violently from side to side. And to top it off it offers nothing - no airtime even at the back, no real forces other than shaking your head off. Replacement needed!

Really loved the first drop but unfortunately the rattle was so bad for me that I can't rank it higher. I tried both front and back but both times got...

Really loved the first drop but unfortunately the rattle was so bad for me that I can't rank it higher. I tried both front and back but both times got a headache and found the second half of the ride quite painful. Maybe I got a bad train.

Another Intamin masterpiece ridden. I still slightly prefer Toutatis but this easily takes second place. The theming is fantastic and the launches are intense, the smoothness and comfortable restrains means you can ride this over and over and it is fun each time! No queues on a weekday in September but operations were good so I suspect the queue moves quick. Rode at the front and the back and definitely prefer the front. There is more ejector airtime in the back, but this is outweighed by the view and hang time off the top hat which you get in the front. I did find the ending with the spike a bit pointless, was expecting more of a surprise, but this is the only negative point for me.

I love this ride, great length, very intense and brilliant inversions. Sometimes there is no rattle at all, and sometimes the rattle does make it a bit uncomfortable - not sure if this is due to positioning in the train or certain trains. Best coaster at Alton Towers in my opinion, closely followed by Nemesis.

Rode the same model in Finland and enjoyed them both - yes it is a short ride but it packs in a good amount of intensity for it's size. I think the fr...

Rode the same model in Finland and enjoyed them both - yes it is a short ride but it packs in a good amount of intensity for it's size. I think the front is more fun as you get pushed into the hills by the launches. Lap bar is a bit uncomfortable but I didn't find it too bad

I rode both the front and the back and enjoyed both. The front was amazing for the first drop, the back definitely more intense with whip over the airtime hills. Small amount of rattle but not bad for its age. Equal place to Kondaa for me - Kondaa is way smoother but a bit less intense. Sunday in April, no queues which was a good thing because the capacity is poor - one train operation every 5 mins.

Quite a fun family boomerang but suffers from the usual boomerang issues - too short and poor capacity. First drop is decent but not much to say after...

This was my favourite of the two, although shorter and a bit less intense than Fear, I thought the surprises were more fun. Both coasters changed my opinion of spinning coasters - often they give me a headache but on this one the spinning felt controlled and not too dizzying.

First ride was at the back, felt it was a lot of fun and the launches were impressive but overall lacked some intensity. But then I rode it in the front row and it was like a different ride - much more intense and so much speed on the launches. Only con for me was some dead spots and general lack of airtime.

Was expecting a lot worse given the reviews, actually enjoyed this a lot! Yes you have to brace the whole time to avoid head banging, but it has great intensity and the first drop is fab. Probably wouldn’t queue for it though

Lots of head banging and rattle but don’t think it deserves the 4% rating. It’s very intense and had some fun moments but I did find myself focussing a lot on bracing. Could be improved a lot simply by a comfier harness and headrest.

Perfect ride for a hot day like today! Great launches and a lot of fun getting soaked, although if you stay near the front in the middle seats you won’t get too wet. Edge seats at the back for a full soaking.

Fun launch and great loop in the dark. I thought however that at the end of the backwards section it could have been more intense, it barely went up the final spike tunnel. Good fun to ride a few times with no queue, probably wouldn’t ride on a busy day.

Yes it has a rattle but the seats are very soft - I think the rattle adds to the intensity here, it never stops being thrilling and gives amazing airtime, particularly in the back car, especially if you set your lap bar slightly higher. Given the reviews I was expecting to not enjoy this much but it’s actually my favourite of the woodies I’ve ridden.

Really enjoyed this coaster but think it’s world ranking is probably a bit high. Riding in the back gave the best intensity on the first drop and lots of ejector airtime throughout, but I did feel after the first 2 drops the intensity lessened a lot. Some fun airtime hills at the end and some good forces in this section. It a great coaster but has nothing on Toutatis in Parc Asterix for example which is an Intamin masterpiece.
