I'm going to have to be somewhat controversial here and say whilst I love RTH and can see why it's hyped it's far from being my personal number 1 (that is the great steel vengeance!!), certainly the positions you end up in are insane, but then for me that's part of the problem, I will always take an airtime packed coaster over a heavily inverted coaster. For me the magic moments were the launch and first top hat and the latter airtime pops, too many inversions otherwise, made me a little dizzy. All being said it's a fantastic coaster, it just doesn't ride with the elements that I personally love best that's all
Edit - I went on it again the day after and it added a god awful rattle in the back seat that gave me a headache ! Sadly too inconsistent to give 5 stars, some rides are, but in my experience some aren't

I had two rides on Voltron, both were on the end seat. Be aware that you enter the ride via a moving walkway which can seem intimidating (well it did to me!) but it's all good once you get on so don't worry about it. First ride I have to say I was greatly disappointed by. It had a few unusual elements and the theming was excellent but it reminded me of the way the Smiler moves through its layout with the noticeable rattle and not in a good way. 2nd ride redeemed Voltron totally! An amazing experience! Bringing my head forward helped me notice the rattle less and was able to enjoy the ride in the dark which was no less than amazing! Had that been my first ride I would have given it 5 stars. I look forward to going back to Europa to ride it again

This coaster is tough for me to rank as my experience varied quite a bit with each ride. First ride was a 5 star experience, really fun smooth (ish) long ride with floater airtime and a long out and back layout which I love on a coaster! 2nd time I got tummy ache from the ride which might have just been from the food I had eaten but it was uncomfortable, 3rd time there was quite a rattle on the train so I think experiences vary a bit by which train/seat you have on this coaster

F.L.Y has got to be one of the most spectacular looking rides out there, I enjoyed watching it go round and the land it was in almost as much as riding. But, you got to know how to ride this beast, first time I kept wanting to tilt my head back to view what was up ahead which made it uncomfortable, and I didn't really enjoy it. To ride this properly you have to just look straight down to the ground, and enjoy the feeling of feeling of flying. Once I did that I enjoyed it much more, great pacing and comfortable. These were my only two rides on it so I look forward to returning for more.

This is such a great coaster! A joy to ride wherever you sit but loved my ride up front the most. Satisfying length and some floater airtime too. Whilst I wouldn't say it's an ejector airtime machine it is a tonne of fun! Highlights for me are its sheer size, oversized loop, first drop, floater hills and of course that Mack smoothness!.

I love a good woodie rollercoaster and was excited to ride, I knew it had mixed reviews but was hoping for the best. Sadly it was awful! Just a jackhammer experience, think, shopping trolley, the ride! Really rattly and uncomfortable, came off with a mild headache and vowed never to do it again (until they RMC it!)

My favourite B&M invert in the world at this point! Absolutely loved Oziris, from the theming in the queue line and station to the awesome smooth ride experience itself, it didn't come with the usual head banging or dizziness I sometimes have after riding similar B&M inverted type rides. Just tonnes of fun, loved the layout, swooping under at one point, with great views of the park!

I only came to Parc Asterix for a day trip, with the park heaving due to the October school holidays so sadly only got just one ride on Toutatis. Despite this I can say it is up there with the best of them. I absolutely love how unique it is, crammed with unique transitions. Tophat, rollback, spike, stall, multiple launches, airtime, pace, theming it has it all! My favourite feature is probably the pace felt going backwards into the spike - I was in the middle of the train but even there I felt the force of it all, would absolutely love a few more rides on it to see exactly how it fares against my other top coasters but can confidently say, even with riding only once, still a top 5 for me - can't wait to return

My expectations were high for this ride and it absolutely didn't disappoint! So many unique elements! Highlights were the first drop, stall and over bank but I greatly enjoyed it all, had only two rides due to enormous 2 hour queues (and I had to leave to catch a flight back home).2nd ride also had slightly more rattle. However delighted to luck out and get my first ride on it on the back row!The best coaster in the UK without a doubt!

Controversially, I have to admit to being a little disappointed by Maverick, I expected it to be better than it was, sure it's a perfectly fun ride but I find the layout is mostly banked turns, taken at speed which to be honest is not my favourite element at all on a coaster, still it was fun and the first drop and launch were great!

This is a smooth and comfortable ride, the first crest is the highlight of the ride for me, great air time and hands up all the way! After that it's fun but due to the layout swerving side to side with a couple of inversions it doesn't do that much in terms of intensity, still, I find it really fun!

Finally made it out to Cedar Point to ride this absolute masterpiece! One of my first rides was a nightride when severely suffering from jetlag, even then it was the best coaster I've ever ridden, despite not feeling my best. Basically epic airtime, super smooth yet fast, epic transitions and inversions! The next night ride the day after was transcendal! Ive never laughed so much on a coaster! Worth the trip alone to Cedar Point

I hadn't really realised that Wicker Man was actually a family thrill coaster and so came away a little underwhelmed that it didn't offer the airtime and intensity that I had been expecting
It's a perfectly fun ride and the theming is excellent, the pacing is good, but the layout is mainly a series of twists and turns which gives very little opportunity for much airtime which is my favourite feeling when riding a coaster.

Theming is unparalleled, the soundtrack is so inspiring as you wait to ride, the 2 launches are perfection, it carries its speed beautifully all the way through and the ride is just so so much fun! It's my current number 1 coaster!
However I doubt it's the most intense experience out there and so as a thrill seeker imagine there will be others that top Taron eventually from my number 1 spot.
Beautifully placed ride on the top of the hill at Liseberg, great soundtrack and atmosphere around this ride, loved how fun it was, albeit lacked some...
Beautifully placed ride on the top of the hill at Liseberg, great soundtrack and atmosphere around this ride, loved how fun it was, albeit lacked some intensity, especially in the launches - still at the moment my number 2 coaster!
