Coaster reviews

Capacity Launch Masterpiece Too short Harness

Insane launch, great ejector on the hill, just a shame about the OTSRs, this ride would be #1 in the UK if it had a lap bar. Thorpe are getting the UK's best coaster next year though with Exodus. My number 1 at Thorpe.

Fun Theming Dead spots Lap Bar

Why do Thorpe need Exodus when this is here! My number 1. Jokes aside, this is a much needed family coaster for Thorpe, even though they really need a family coaster like Storm Chaser at Paultons. And the lap bar stapled me :(

Fun Smoothness Layout Too short Disappointing! Intensity

Nemesis Inferno is a fun ride, and has a great layout to add to it. It also has a great queue line inside a volcano. However, I found the ride the opposite of intense, which is very un B&M invert. It seems to be over in a flash too. I found it to be very underwhelming. My number 4 at the park, saved from last by Colossus' headbanging.

Theming Pace Intensity Rattle Discomfort

Saw: The Ride is a Gerstlauer Eurofighter, themed to the Saw horror franchise. First of all, the theming is incredible and the indoor drop and heartline roll are both solid elements. The first drop is also very good, however there is a big pothole at the bottom of the drop, which causes a nasty rattle going into the Immelmann. It is extremely intense, but the rattle and the OTSRs combine for some nasty headbaning which can cause headaches. I did not feel the rattle too much, and I found it extremely intense and fun, so i'll give it 4.5 stars. Solid number 3 at the park.

Theming Capacity Comfort Reliability

Very fun ride, wingover drop is amazing, it's quite comfortable and theming is amazing. However it was closed the first time we went, and the second time we went it was closed till 3pm.

Theming Fun Layout Headbanging Harness Discomfort

Such a good layout, five heartline rolls are amazing, but the rattle ruins it.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun Too short Theming Dead spots

Good Gerstlauer family coaster with good airtime. Theming is terrible by Paultons' standards. Very enjoyable for all ages.

Theming Fun Smoothness Lap Bar

This ride is very smooth, good for kids and has some decent pops of airtime and good helixes. Lap bar is either nowhere near a kids lap, or for larger guests it can staple them.

Theming Lap Bar Intensity Too short

SO INTENSE! For a family coaster, this is a masterpiece. Great theming, insane spinning and an excellent final helix.

Theming Capacity Lap Bar Too short

Really enjoyable ride, amazing theming, and quite an intense helix near the end. Restraint might be the best I've ever experienced.

Theming Fun Capacity Dead spots

Good for families, quite fun as well.

Theming Capacity Dead spots

It's a good family coaster, nothing special, but good coaster for young enthusiasts. Bad capacity for a park of this size though.

Fun Duration Theming Dead spots

It was good while it lasted, being the IOW's only full scale coaster for more than 10 years and was very good for kids going to the park and to ride this as a first coaster. However, theming was abysmal compared to the imagination side of the park. It ran 2 laps, which was good, but severely limited capacity, and made the ride drag on a bit, showcasing its glaring dead spots. It did have a good helix near the end though.
