Theming Nice surprise! Fun Too short
Fun ride that's very smooth and has nice theming (although no storyline) and generally good experience. The indoor section is surprising and iconic, the outdoor section is very fun, has some airtime, a surprisingly good first drop (despite the trim brakes!), although I do think the outdoor section is a bit too short. Seat position makes a huge difference in the outdoor section, back row is so much better!
-
Pace Fun Capacity Dead spots
Its obviously not supposed to be a thrilling ride - and its not. But its still incredibly fun, good layout (although slightly random), it's good you get to go around 3 times, and the ride staff make it especially fun. A little bit rough, has some dead spots, but it is a mine train and for that it is quite good.

Theming Pace Intensity Rattle
Very whippy and intense, with brilliant theming around the area. Our first ride was incredibly smooth, but second ride was a bit rough - both similar seat, I assume it was a different train. It was still a great ride on the rough train, but it was highly noticeable, other non-enthusiasts were pointing it out too!
-
Fun Dead spots Layout
Its a pretty average family spinning coaster - its alright but nothing thrilling. You do get to do 2 laps though which is good
-
Location Layout Capacity Discomfort
Pretty typical wild mouse ride, nice views of the sea and fun layout, but a bit rough and uncomfortable.
-
Launch Fun Smoothness Theming
Very smooth ride with very nice launches, even if they’re not the most powerful in the world. Pretty good layout but theming is certainly lacking
-
Airtimes Fun Layout Discomfort
Fun ride, but very rough especially in seats over wheels or at the back, to be expected given its age. I think the right side is slightly smoother than the left, but only been on 3 or 4 times so it might have just been the train we happened to be on.
-
Theming Fun Smoothness
Nice launches and layout, even if they’re not too powerful/forceful they’re fun. Very nice effects in the tunnel at the start, and nice trains.
-
Fun Layout Capacity
Really enjoyed this ride, its layout is good although fairly generic for a spinning coaster. Main problem with it is the capacity, if you go on a slightly busy day it draws a big queue which it's maybe not worth.
-
Pace Fun Layout Rattle Discomfort
This ride is great fun with a great layout, but it is very rough. It feels like the ride runs much faster than it should do, which is very thrilling but is probably the reason it’s so rough. Also got stuck in the station for about 15 minutes and had to wait while they fixed it which isn’t very cool.
-
Pace Fun Layout Rattle Discomfort
It’s a fun ride with a great layout, it’s a bit rough, although we went back row so that’s expected on an older coaster
-
First Drop Comfort Launch Too short Theming
Amazing feeling going over the top hat, launch is powerful and feels like it goes on forever, although I’ve never been on kingda ka or top thrill! Favourite part is as it pulls up after the launch track, and pulling up at the bottom of the drop. Throughput and operations are bad and the queue is all unthemed and very hot and sweaty cattle pen, although it is in the shade.
-
Comfort Fun Layout Capacity
Incredible ride, really fun with lots of launches. You don’t know what way you’re going or what’s coming next, and it’s super smooth. First time going on a ride that does a lateral drop, it felt amazing. This ride is a capacity/operations nightmare so be prepared to queue! The queue is well themed and has air con which is good.
-
Fun Layout Too short
Tomahawk is significantly smoother than Stampida, although it isn’t as fast or as long. It was fairly smooth even on the back row, and has a really fun layout with good laterals.
-
Launch Rattle Too short Harness
The launch is very powerful, but the ride is very rough, my head was banging from side to side a lot. The harness isn’t great either. The inversion is pretty good, the rest of the layout is good but it’s quite short
-
Fun Layout Duration Discomfort Dead spots
Quite a good mine train, it has 3 lift hills which isn’t really necessary, you have lots of speed going into them. It’s a bit rough but not too bad. It’s quite long and has good theming.
-
Inversions Intensity Layout Rattle Harness
Very nice layout with a surprisingly good first drop. All the inversions were great, didn’t feel repetitive at all. There was a quite strong rattle, wasn’t headbanging but definitely noticeable. Classic over-the-shoulder restraints aren’t my favourite, but didn’t impact the ride experience much.
-
Airtimes First Drop Comfort
Incredible ride with loads of airtime, interesting layout, amazing speed, and great views - I can’t fault it. I had express pass but standby queue looked long, although capacity isn’t bad and operations were quite good.
-
Pace Fun Too short Capacity
It is a fun ride, has a layout which is interesting but quite short. It has a low capacity and seems to always draw one the biggest queue in the park, which I don't think it's worth but I still ride if I can.
-
Location Fun
It's a family coaster, don't go on expecting thrills. But it is fun, has good views, and was pretty comfortable.
-
Fun Ejectors Rattle
Really fun ride - spins more than any spinning coaster I've been on before, and despite it being wild-mouse-like it's not too rough or uncomfortable. Layout is fun, there is a drop and turn near the end that has huge airtime.
-
First Drop Inversions Intensity Headbanging
Really great layout, with lots of good inversions, feels interesting throughout without feeling forced or overdone. First drop is amazing (it is the tallest suspended looping coaster in the world). It is a little rough and you do bang your head a bit, harness is pretty alright so it's not too bad.
-
Inversions Location Fun Harness Dead spots
Much smoother than I was expecting for an older vekoma. It has a nice layout that goes right round the park, but it does feel a little empty at times, not too bad as it does go fast though. Harness and seat aren't very comfortable
-
First Drop Pace Masterpiece Too short
Good drop, but other than that there's basically nothing. Well worth a ride but I wouldn't queue long for it.
-
Nice surprise! Harness Layout Dead spots
Very fun ride with an interesting layout. Felt quite comfortable and smooth
-
Theming Pace Layout Reliability
Fun coaster with great layout and theming, gets a surprising amount of speed given its size. Unfortunately I queued for this ride for over 30 minutes when it broke down and queue got emptied, but rode it later and it was very good.
-
Nice surprise! Location Fun Dead spots
It's a family coaster, don't go on expecting thrills. But I still really enjoyed it, we spinned quite a lot and got a good view of the zoo. It runs twice per cycle, but if there's no queue they're happy for you to stay on as long as you like.
-
Location Fun Discomfort
It's obviously a family coaster, and a pretty fun one. However the seats are ridiculously small, parents will be very uncomfortable!
-
Nice surprise! Harness Discomfort Tear it down!
I went on this ride expecting it to be torture from what I've seen online, and yes it was uncomfortable but it wasn't that bad. It's got an alright layout, and whilst it was uncomfortable it wasn't painful and definitely glad I rode it for the uniqueness.
-
Launch Pace Too short Discomfort Layout
Great launch, not much else after that but that's alright. The main issue is the roughness of this ride, and although I often like motorbike position seats, this one isn't comfortable.
