Coaster reviews

Launch Theming Capacity Harness

This ride should be updated to add theming, and an extra train. The ride is short, and lacks much punch. Toverland for the most part, is very well themed and this has nothing! A green metal shed for a station! Needs to be updated with a new theme that fits into the park better!

Airtimes Layout Rattle Discomfort

Could be a great ride if it didn't feel like it was trying to vibrate your body into dust. The airtime is great though (especially as it gives relief from the vibrations)

Theming Capacity Rattle

Best ride in toverland! Has a great airtime moment after the first drop. The helix is very intense with some grey out (although doesn't help that you will be blinded by the sun there too)!. The theming and queue is great. There is a noticable rattle but not that bad. The one thing this ride is missing is fly by elements and near misses, which put this behind the swarm at Thorpe park and x flight at great America for me, but above mandril mayhem at chessington

Airtimes Layout Duration Harness

Great ride, was disapointed by the first few rides at the start of the day. But it definately warmed up by the afternoon. Best position for me was the back. Don't think it's quite as good as i was expecting for #13 in the world (at time of riding). My expectations were probably too high! But plenty of ejector and air time!

Theming Launch Pace

This is by far my favourite ride (in the world), the theming, the launch, the snappy transitions, all make this (imo) the best. Rode it over 20 times in 2 days, never lost its edge!

Launch Capacity

This is a great mid size coaster for wannabe / young enthusiasts. The best bit is the backwards launch. Not gonna lie, it's better than voltrons backwards launch! (you can't compare the rest of the ride though)!

Theming Masterpiece Layout Rattle Dead spots

This is a masterclass in ride design. The first launch into the stall is brilliant. And then it's a barrage of elements one after another. But not too much of a barrage, all of the elements flow well and are easy to follow. It's like a slightly less intense version of the smiler in a way. The only weak element for me is the mid launch, which is a tad underwhelming as well as breaking the pacing. The queue is amazing and i suggest doing the main queue over the single rider which is quite slow and deceptively long. I should also point out you really do need to put your phones in the locker or secured. As i lost mine (along with the locker key, they were in a coat pocket) mid ride (on the brakes before the turntable/rear launch). Europa park have however been amazing as always and found it within 48 hours though. Can't say anything but praise for the Europa park staff, who were exceedingly helpful. I did experience some slight rattle on most of my rides (7 total) but nothing uncomfortable. I had one ride that was silky smooth. The rear wing seats are the worst for the rattle. However i did not find it detracting from the experience

Launch Pace Ejectors Dead spots

This is a great ride. the 2nd/3rd/4th launches and mini air time hills and spike give great sensations while in that bit. But i found the rest of the layout to be lacking something. Maybe it's the (lack of) themeing, so for me the best launch coaster is still taron. Also operations at parc asterix are just wierd, putting your bagage in a trolley? Half the rides, even the ones with filitomatix (quick pass) weren't managed/staffed properly. Chaos ensues at many stations! That said, toutatis has the best operations of the parc.

Pace Layout Rattle Discomfort

What should be a great coaster is ruined by the rough ride. The layout is fantastic but i can't recommend riding due to the rattle!

Location Headbanging Harness

Compared to tonnere duex zeus this is smoooth... But seriously its not too bad, some janky transitions otherwise not a bad layout. It is still a tad rough though

Theming Layout Rattle Too short

Interesting ride, that has a number of "suprise elements, before the main bulk of ride that's visible in the park. It's not a particularly long ride (this is an issue for Thorpe park in general!) But packs a Reasonable punch. It is however pot luck as to whether you'll get a car that rattles like crazy or doesn't rattle at all!

Theming Intensity

A reasonable coaster that doesn't unfortunately meet the "nemesis" standard that you would expect. The layout is ok, and fairly intense. The ride does however need a repaint, as all the paint is very faded and it's noticeable! Between areas in shadow that haven't faded the same amount!

First Drop Theming Too short

A fun wing coaster, usually with the "Thorpe park way too long a queue" syndrome. The layout is a bit short but has plenty of near miss elements on it. One side (although I can't remember which) has more than the other though!

Launch Rattle Too short

This ride is just way too short. Launch, up, down, done. Not worth the usual 60 minute queue. Definitely not worth spending money to fast track access...

First Drop Theming Smoothness Too short

This is a great package ride from efteling, the park that likes to make rides as a package that equal a sum more than their individual parts. The ride is a bit too short, but it's still much longer than, say oblivion at Alton towers...

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Capacity Reliability

This is a great ride that is brought down only by it being run so poorly. Thankfully I was not there on a busy day, and did get around 7 or 8 rides in. Personally I prefer the front to the back as it whips over the final hills with such extreme airtime. But can see the appeal of riding at the back for its whip over the lift hill into the first drop!

First Drop Theming Intensity Rattle

This is a fairly intense gci. It can be a bit rattle-y but the seats are comfortable and mitigate against that. The standard queue under the station is really cool. And the station pass through is exciting

Theming Fun

Fun indoor family coaster. Not too thrilling, great scenery and music. My only complaint would be the time it takes to go up the lift hill!

Airtimes First Drop Comfort Theming Launch

This is a fairly tame b&m hyper, I say tame as I came to this park after just visiting phantasialand and holiday park. It has some moments of "air time" but not really any negative G's. Otherwise my main issue with it is it's position in the park and it's racing theme. Theres a starting countdown, where you'd expect a launch but, no, nothing! Just a slow roll into the lift hill!...
