Not a fan of Chessington, the queues are long and the customer service is poor. But this ride is great. The capacity is an issue for a park that attracts long queues, but once you get on, you will be surprised with this whippy, fun and exciting family-thrill coaster.

Awesome ride, after getting multiple rewatches on this, I can safely say it’s the best rollercoaster in the UAE outside of the world class Manta and Flying Aces (Rossa was closed on my visit). An Extremely forceful launch into a vibrant tunnel that leads into one of the most forceful s-bends I have experienced. It’s taken at stellar speed. The twisted airtime hill is magnificent. A lot of fun near misses and low to the ground turns to be had. It even interacts with the themed area on one turn. The rest of the layout consists of unpredictable s-bends, airtime hills and forceful helixes without loosing speed, along with the great theming the ride has to offer. There is even on-ride music. An extremely fun ride that has good re-ride ability.

A really good ride that was surprisingly whippy and quick, the banked turn after the vertical loops was taken at surprisingly fast speeds. As well as the twisted airtime hill afterwards, some great ejector to be had. But it is let down by poor operations (like majority of rides in the UAE) and low capacity. It’s also a little short, but that’s probably because of the low capacity. Very good still. The launch isn’t that bad, it’s ok.

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...

Not sure where the rough criticisms come from. This ride isn’t uncomfortable at all for its age. In serious need of a paint job though, because this is a great racing coaster with great airtime moments and some strong laterals. Only rides one train on each side usually though.

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...

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.

It’s a shame that on my visit, Formula Rossa was closed, but it doesn’t matter. Because this is the real deal. So intense, that first drop on the back row wing seat is insanity. The airtime is aggressive, the layout is long, well paced and very fun. The non-inverting loop is awesome, but the ejector moments on some of them turns are crazy. Only slightly held back by Ferrari World’s subpar operations. Easily one of the most forceful rollercoasters I have ridden. Only got 3 rides again, because it broke down shortly after.

This ride was a massive surprise. The on-ride theming is great. The 4D aspect is fantastic. The backwards drop is fantastic, and that sideways drop was unexpected. However, only managed to get 1 ride on this because it broke down afterwards. The reliability of rides at Ferrari World are terrible. But that one ride was a great and unique experience.

Managed to get 4 rides on this and WOW. A masterful layout taken at serious pace. The ejector and lateral forces are extremely strong, the layout is pitch perfect. It’s nicely themed and the airtime moments are sublime. It’s extremely whippy and relentless. So be warned as it’s does strain your lower back. However, the operations are poor unfortunately. But the ride itself, WOW. So much happens in its compact, diverse and forceful layout. Near perfect.

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 ...

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.

Such a shame this excellent ride has gone, it’s was one of the craziest experiences of all time, never mind rollercoasters. The 2nd half is nuts, some of the most jarring and forceful turns on any rollercoaster I’ve experienced, it’s obviously extremely long and insanely unhinged, I can understand why it was removed, but it’s still epic, the ultimate bruiser.

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 ...

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.

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.

Easily the best SLC. A monstrous coaster that stands tall amongst anything else in the park. It’s massive for an inverted coaster, and the first drop ...

Easily the best SLC. A monstrous coaster that stands tall amongst anything else in the park. It’s massive for an inverted coaster, and the first drop is brilliant. It can be very rattly at times. But the layout is great.
