Primera caída Tematización Intensidad Torta Incomodidad
I seem to be a rare fan of this coaster. Granted this is probably because I'm a mega-fan of the Saw film series, and love highly themed rollercoasters. The indoor section is definitely the highlight, and one of life's joys is to take people on this ride who have no idea what's coming in the dark... The rest of the layout is fast, intense, and fun, although I will concede that it can be painful and uncomfortable in places. Still my second favourite ride in the park.

Inversiones Layout Hangtime Torta Capacidad Arnés
Even as a short person, I find the trains uncomfortable with no leg room. The OTSR are too restrictive, causing your head to smash against them at regular intervals. Particularly unforgivable seeing as Flamingo Land's Sik has comfortable lap bars. However, the layout is fun, with some good airtime on the dips, a decent first drop and some excellent hangtime on the heartline rolls. I'm a sucker for coasters with multiple inversions, and Collossus's 4 heartline rolls in a row are a particular highlight. Worth a ride when you visit Thorpe Park, but only worth one ride per visit in my opinion.

Situación Duración Torta Arnés Incomodidad
I’ll be blunt right out of the gate: Corkscrew sucks, but I do recognize its importance. This was the first coaster with 3 inversions, and the first modern coaster with a loop. However, 46 years after opening, it holds up very poorly. Not only are there few significant forces, but the ride is, plain and simple, uncomfortable. Headbanging is inevitable when you ride thanks to its hard OTSR’s and jerky transitions. Special mention to the BRUTAL transition from the first pullout to the airtime hill, which doesn’t cause headbanging, but is incredibly jarring. Minus the historical significance, I will give credit for 2 things: 1. It’s short and small, so the headbanging, although plentiful, isn’t TOO miserable, and 2. The way the corkscrews are placed over the midway creates an admittedly amazing visual when the train goes through them. Iconic, important, but incredibly, incredibly irritating, I recommend Corkscrew only for the credit, NOTHING ELSE.

Airtimes Fun Vibración
The red side mainly loses, but it's still the same ride. Fun racing, decent airtime, still shaky.

Airtimes Fun Vibración
Shaky, but the racing is fun and there's some decent airtime.

Airtimes Ejectors Vibración Incomodidad
The airtime is amazing. That's why it has 3.5 stars. If it had no airtime, it would be a lot worse. Magnum desperately needs a retracking. So rough.

Airtimes Situación Torta
The first hill actually gives airtime and the location over the midway is amazing. That only saves Corkscrew to a certain extent. The corkscrews, like every other arrow, give uncomfortable headbanging.

Primera caída Suavidad Hangtime Arnés
Valravn has an incredible first drop. While it does have vest restraints, the hangtime on the inversions are good and the ride doesn't have a rattle.

Fun Vibración
I rode this in 1979 when it was brand new and was one of the biggest and fastest coasters in the world. I bragged to all of my childhood friends about "surviving" it. It still holds up well four decades later. (Am I really that old?) Yeah, it's gotten a bit more shaky, but I still enjoy this classic.

Fun Capacidad Incomodidad Confiabilidad
It took all year and 5 attempts until I could ride it, which happened to be 2 days before it closed permanently. The parts where it goes into the brake shake you and it isn’t comfortable. It’s enjoyable but not worth the 90 minute wait. I’m glad they’re replacing it with a Gravity Group, even if it’s a rare ride.
