Coaster reviews

Fun Discomfort

Really disappointed, I was hoping it would be a contender for Hagrids but they're not even close to being in the same league. It's not very comfortable, the ride is quite short and the seats for someone who's 6' 2' is very uncomfortable.

First Drop

What a ride, by far the best in the UK. Epic from start to finish.

Airtimes First Drop Location

Ok, so this is like 2 reviews in one as where you sit has a BIG impact on how this coaster rides. If you sit towards the back, well it's rough, not overly enjoyable and disappointing. HOWEVER, sit towards the front (especially the front row) and this is arguably the most underrated coaster in the world! Chose your music, ride vertical up that iconic chain lift and just prepare for the music to amplify the enjoyment of a great ride. That non inverted loop to start with is epic, with some great airtime to be had in the middle sections too and it's super smooth. Honestly, I've never ridden a ride so different from front to back.

Location Fun Duration Intensity

This ride looks awesome, Disney has done a great job. The thrill and intensity does not match the intimidating look of the main hill, however it's a very well themed ride and considering it's more a family coaster then an out and out thrill machine it's does it's job perfectly. There's a couple nice surprises along the way and everyone comes off smiling.

Location Fun Duration Discomfort

This is such a classic ride. Over 30 years I've come back to ride Space Mountain and as technology changes the sentimental feeling just increased on this family coaster. It's best days may be behind it, but it's worthy of is classic Disney status and I hope my son who loves it gets to enjoy 30 more years.

First Drop Launch Intensity Too short

That first launch going into the top hat is breathtaking, especially if you're in the front row. Not only do you get the best view, it's super smooth at the front. The drop after the launch is just as memorable, it's just a shame there's nothing afterwards to back it up. Could easily be a top 100 ride if extended, but still worth every second waiting in line to ride.

Theming Comfort Smoothness

This must be the world's best indoor coaster. The theming (being Disney) is of epic proportions, the start is a great suprise to start with, the soundtrack is epic and the way it rides is unlike anything I've been on before. It's not the most intense, it's not scary, but it's a very, very good coaster with some very special elements which needs to be ridden.

First Drop Comfort Launch

That first launch, wow that's awesome. You needed to wear special goggles for a very good reason. It's impossible for the rest of the ride to compete with the launch, so by comparison it feels a little flat, but in reality you're still moving fast, there's some nice sections with a bit of airtime and a smile for anyone brave enough to take on the fastest coaster in the world.

Comfort Fun Masterpiece

Just a great ride. It's not super intense, but it's not meant to be. This is a super fun ride where everyone comes off smiling. Harry Potter magic with super smooth launches, special effects and a few nice surprises makes this family coaster something for every enthusiast to savour.

Launch Intensity Duration

Just wow! The theming in the line is epic, by the time you get to the ride you know you're in for something special. Too many great sections to name, but the zero-G stall straight after the top hat is standout for any coaster I've ridden. This is fast, slick, smart and VERY addictive.

Inversions Layout Duration

They packed more inversions into this ride then any other. But it's not just a marketing ploy, this ride is smooth, intense and just keeps giving. From the first drop you know you're on a twisted metal track of sheer delight, half way through you go up a vertical hill lift for your second helping of insanitary. Great ride!

Theming Hangtime Duration

Amazing theming lifts the anticipation which does not fail to deliver. By far the best woodie in the UK and one which keeps you smiling throughout.

Airtimes Pace Intensity

This icon is world renowned for a reason. From the first drop to the break it's full on intensity which never gives up. I can ride this coaster all day and still enjoy it. Let's hope the re-track dose not dull this masterpiece down.

Airtimes First Drop Intensity

I love this ride. You know it's going to be intense as soon as you're rapidly racing up the hill lift. The intensity of the first drop, then the intensity of every transition is breathtaking. It's so smooth, but extremely aggressive making it highly addictive.
