Theming Nice surprise! Fun
Really fun! A nicely immersive ride with a nice 360 spinning train system. Some good views of the themed area from above too. Top tier family experience.
-
Nice surprise! Fun Layout Theming
Probably the best of the Maurer spinning coasters. Quite tall with a unique twisted element after the first drop. The rest is standard stuff but still good!
-
First Drop Fun Too short Capacity Dead spots
Decent little Bobsled coaster. Fairly forceful first drop. Not enough wild mouse section though, and quite short. Only running 2 trains too.
-
First Drop Smoothness Ejectors Too short
Still hold up as an effective dive coaster although it’s been beaten by more modern modifications of this prototype model. Still some great ejector on that drop.
-
Launch Rattle Pointless Dead spots
A pointless and odd ride that serves no purpose. The unbanked turns are uncomfortable and the ride doesn’t even duel. The launch is ok though.
-
Launch Too short Disappointing! Pointless
A mighty shame. This is a coaster that is a waste of good statistics. It’s tall and fast, but it does nothing with it. The launch is ok though.
-
Airtimes Fun
Interesting that nobody talks about this more. A pleasant wooden coaster in a family park.
-
Theming Nice surprise! Fun
Great fun, smooth for a boomerang with some great theming, the on ride synced music is great. And the staff operating it were very friendly.

Discomfort
To see that within 3 years that this would be the only rollercoaster left at Light water Valley is sad really, it also doesn’t help that this ride is terrible.
-
Comfort Pace Fun Too short
This is great, surprisingly whippy and fast. It’s very short however.
-
Location Fun Duration
Quite like this, a pleasant ride that circles the back end of the park. When the new rollercoaster is fully built, it will offer some great views for it.

Pace Fun Duration Rattle Discomfort
Yes, the red side is better. Shame I couldn’t get a ride on Stampida during my most recent visit. But it’s a long, well paced wooden rollercoaster. It does have a strong rattle though.
-
Pace Fun Duration Theming Capacity
A nice long ride. Good pacing and some nice interactions with the rapids, always enjoyable.
-
First Drop Inversions Too short Capacity Disappointing!
A genuinely average and forgettable ride that is enhanced by a good first drop and some nice inversions.
-
Nice surprise! Fun Rattle Harness
Overhated, the trains are obviously terrible. But the ride itself is quirky and fun! There isn’t any head banging like some would suggest.
-
Comfort Pace Disappointing! Dead spots Layout
A cool concept with a sub-par execution. The layout is generic, but it’s fun enough due to the train design and decent pacing.
-
Theming Capacity Disappointing!
Basically a family ride with a walking dead theme, really odd.
-
Inversions Smoothness Disappointing! Dead spots Intensity
One of the most overrated rides in the UK. It’s certainly tall. But it’s forecless and full of dead spots. The inversions are decent though.
-
Airtimes Nice surprise!
Easily one of the better wild mouses, the theming is good, and it has surprising moments of airtime.
-
Pace Fun Duration
A great alpine coaster. Superb scenery. The pacing is great if you don’t use the manual break that much and it’s just overall very fun.
