Torta Capacidad Incomodidad

I queued two hours for this ride, and boy what a mistake that was. Quite simply the worst rollercoaster I have ever rode, and if all coasters where like this I would have no interest in them whatsoever. The restraints are awful, I’m a 6ft guy and my neck was banged to pieces throughout the ride. If I was a few inches shorter in height, I can’t imagine the headbanging I would have experienced. I actually felt sick getting off this ride, as my neck and base of head had taken a real pounding. The ride itself is rough, and by the time I experienced the 4th?! Heartline role I just wanted the ride to end.

Fun

A solid woodie, with a great first drop. However from then on I would have liked to see more airtime. The Grand National at Blackpool is a far more intense ride, but Wickerman has it for smoothness. I couldn’t pick between them for best woodie in UK for those reasons.

Inversiones Hangtime

Saw has great theming- it’s been carefully planned out to provide an immersive experience. The strongest part of the ride for me is the indoor drop, which is very intense. I didn’t notice any roughness, and found the ride enjoyable from beginning to end. The first ‘outdoor’ drop after the vertical lift hill is Oblivion lite, which is never a bad thing!

Primera caída Inversiones Fun

Second strongest of the Thorpe park coasted (Behind Stealth) for me. The Swarm is a great coaster, with brilliant moments of hangtime, strong inversions, potentially the best theming I’ve ever seen on a coaster and a butter smooth ride. Favourite part of the ride for me was final inversion over the queue line, which provided great hangtime. Fantastic coaster and we are lucky to have one of it’s type in the UK!

Inversiones Intensidad

I had rode Nemesis a handful of times mid train, and must admit I just didn’t get the hype. I then rode it front seat, and boy was it a whole different experience. The near misses and sight of rocks/water whizzing by your feet completely changed the whole experience. It’s totally different admittedly, but comes just behind Icon @ Blackpool as one of my favourite coasters in the UK.

Launch Fun Intensidad

Breathtaking launch, and the airtime hills afterwards are taken at breakneck speeds which makes Rita very intense and forceful. I’m a big fan, and find it very re-rideable. The only con for me is the lack of inversions, even a couple of corkscrews would have put the ride on another level for me.

Primera caída Intensidad

Very re-ridable, I’ll never get bored of that drop into the tunnel. The intensity of the drop is breathtaking, and it really is a credit to the UK themepark scene. Always smaller queues for this ride at Towers compared to some of the newer rides, which is a massive plus.

Comodidad Fun Suavidad

Galactica is smooth as butter, but doesn’t really have any intensity. Restraints are comfortable and it is still a novelty to be lowered into the flying position. Flying on your back is probably the highlight of the ride for me, and it’s a ride that everyone must try once purely for the seating position!

Airtimes Intensidad Ejectors

The airtime on this thing is bizarre, it throws you out of your seat and is very forceful. I do find the ride quite nauseating though, and can’t ride it more than twice in a row. Climbing the stairs is not for the faint hearted if you have a fear of heights (but then why would you be riding coasters?)

Primera caída Fun Duración

Really enjoyed the Big One. First drop is daunting and provides some real force and speed as you hit the bottom. From then on it’s a solid, but unspectacular, speed merchant with no real airtime so to speak. The drop just before the midcourse break run is just about steep enough to throw you out of your seat. It’s a solid coaster for BPB, and one which everybody must ride once!
