Just a game changing masterpiece from start to finish. Gorgeous, perfectly paced, dizzying in the best way, overwhelmingly good. Also really appreciate that its theming has moved past 'terrifying! Dare you ride??!' style marketing and embraced the idea that rollercoasters are transcendent, pleasurable experiences that people can love on their own terms rather than as a side-effect of death-defying fear - it feels like an artform maturing. Audio is magic, airtime and hangtime at any and every weird angle you can imagine, fabulous launches, the way that slow, graceful opening inversion feels like the machine is telling you 'don't worry, man, it's cool, I've got this, you can let go for the next couple of minutes, it's ok...' - a pure joy. Love love love it.

Love GCIs and this is a decent one - nothing extreme, but feels fast and verges on wild. Good variety of hills and valleys and the nice bit with goats at the end is good. First drop is surprisingly precipitous and its beautifully themed as well - no complaints.

Painful and forgettable, honestly. quite zippy, I guess? nice to be out among the trees.Best thing about it is the queue which has been rethemed to a convincing looking school locker room and is fun and well done. But yeah, one and done for me.

Found it quite smooth - not a huge fan of gerstlauers but this was more my kind of thing. Launch is VERY unexpectedly snappy and I kind of wish I'd gotten into a better position for it the first time as it kind of hurt - but after that it was a fun, short ride with cool inversions and a nice fluid layout.

It's a powered junior coaster - so not intended to be a huge thrill, but it does what it sets out to very well. Accelerates through the station for a much pacier second lap that really elevates the whole experience and gives kids a taste of what a second launch feels like on a grown-up thrill coaster (my 1.2m son said it's like Taron for kids). Theming characteristically gorgeous. If there's a downside it's that it's a shame they couldn't have designed the cars to accommodate 0.9m kids as my 0.95m two year old loves other powered coasters and would have liked to ride this and that height restriction seems like it could have been achieved for this ride. Of the two, I think Moritz is better on the first lap and Max is better on the second.

Stealth is crack. I wish I could get straight onto it every morning to cheer myself up. Wonderful launch, lovely airtime over the top hat and just pure joy over the hill and back to the station. Better than therapy.

The indoor bit is pretty great and then I just don't like it. It feels disjointed and start-stoppy without any sense of flow or fluidity and while the elements are kind of violent, I just find the overall experience weirdly boring. I don't get anything from the beyond vertical drop, it's just a brief moment of nothing and then a kick up the arse. The only bits of the ride that linger in the memory are waiting for the lift hill mid ride and then being uncomfortable during the lift hill itself - the first thirty seconds aside, it just doesn't have any of the things that I like about rollercoasters and is easily my least favourite in the park.

I would love Colossus if I was four inches shorter - as it is the restraints are just too uncomfortable for anyone 6ft or taller. The harness painfully cuts into your shoulders which is ignorable during what I find to be a good layout with a fun drop and some really enjoyable inversions but which makes every slow moment almost unbearably uncomfortable - especially the little wait to get back into the station. I don't even find it particularly rough, it's just built for short people.
