Honestly this is without a doubt a 5 star coaster and is so unique! As others say the ride varies every time making it so fun to reride! I found the front the most exciting however the front car also seemed to have a bad rattle so I avoided it for rerides. So much airtime and the first launch is so much fun. Even the tiny pre-launch section has some amazing hang time - made better by the unique position you are in. I don't usually like spinning coasters but the spinning is so slow that it feels more like a coaster which just slowly changes your direction. Despite incredibly poor operations the queue moved not too slowly. But this ride is crying out for a single rider queue. Every train is leaving with 3-5 empty seats.

Good fun woodie but quite tame, not much airtime. Still enjoyed it though! Let down by the small trains - even with 2 trains running the capacity was atrocious and it doesn't help that the Plopsaland ...

Good fun woodie but quite tame, not much airtime. Still enjoyed it though! Let down by the small trains - even with 2 trains running the capacity was atrocious and it doesn't help that the Plopsaland queue times are completely made up.

Fun launch and the first top hat it fun. However the launch is not on the same level as Intamin blitz coasters or the likes of Stealth. After the top hat I honestly found it a bit lacking in forces and didn't really enjoy the latter half. Operations were atrocious on my visit which didn't help with the long queue.

Best flying coaster I've ridden! Worlds above Galactica at Alton Towers. I enjoyed the pre-ride section and the transition from sitting upright to flying. Very smooth and a lot of fun. For me would be made better by some bigger drops. Theming is incredible in this area.

For a family coaster I thought this was excellent and rode it 3 times. Not much intensity but loads of fun, a great introduction for those new to thrill rides! Some decent airtime when riding at the back.

Rode this in the pouring rain and it was an experience! Really didn't find this too rough with the new restraints - no headbanging. The front is smoother than the back. The intensity is great throughout. Having ridden this and Vampire I honestly think Vampire is a lot worse.

My first RMC - it was an extremely windy day and later in the day was pouring with rain - so was quite a unique experience! And I expect it wasn't running as fast as it would be on a hot day. But I was very slightly underwhelmed. The ride was great fun and silky smooth but whilst there were good ejector moments there wasn't as much sustained airtime as I was hoping for. Still easily in my top 5 but definitely prefer the Intamin blitz coasters. May change my mind after riding more RMCs though!

Only got to ride once, at the back. I think for the first drop the front could be a really cool ride so looking forward to trying that sometime. Capacity good, line always feels like it's moving. Not ...

Only got to ride once, at the back. I think for the first drop the front could be a really cool ride so looking forward to trying that sometime. Capacity good, line always feels like it's moving. Not convinced the single rider queue sped things up much. I found the layout a bit odd but the intensity was impressive and that first drop was insane! Definitely a top UK coaster

My first bobsleigh ride and I thought it was a fun one. Followed the advice in the reviews to ride alone, and stay sitting a bit forwards not touching the backrest and this helped the comfort a lot. Due to capacity there are a lot of break runs which does create some dead spots, but overall it was still a fun ride for me.

Hands down the worst coaster I've ever ridden. I thought the reviews were being dramatic but no. Incredibly painful ride experience, my neck was in so much pain afterwards. The train shakes so violent...

Hands down the worst coaster I've ever ridden. I thought the reviews were being dramatic but no. Incredibly painful ride experience, my neck was in so much pain afterwards. The train shakes so violently from side to side. And to top it off it offers nothing - no airtime even at the back, no real forces other than shaking your head off. Replacement needed!

Really loved the first drop but unfortunately the rattle was so bad for me that I can't rank it higher. I tried both front and back but both times got a headache and found the second half of the ride ...

Really loved the first drop but unfortunately the rattle was so bad for me that I can't rank it higher. I tried both front and back but both times got a headache and found the second half of the ride quite painful. Maybe I got a bad train.

Another Intamin masterpiece ridden. I still slightly prefer Toutatis but this easily takes second place. The theming is fantastic and the launches are intense, the smoothness and comfortable restrains...

Another Intamin masterpiece ridden. I still slightly prefer Toutatis but this easily takes second place. The theming is fantastic and the launches are intense, the smoothness and comfortable restrains means you can ride this over and over and it is fun each time! No queues on a weekday in September but operations were good so I suspect the queue moves quick. Rode at the front and the back and definitely prefer the front. There is more ejector airtime in the back, but this is outweighed by the view and hang time off the top hat which you get in the front. I did find the ending with the spike a bit pointless, was expecting more of a surprise, but this is the only negative point for me.

I love this ride, great length, very intense and brilliant inversions. Sometimes there is no rattle at all, and sometimes the rattle does make it a bit uncomfortable - not sure if this is due to posit...

I love this ride, great length, very intense and brilliant inversions. Sometimes there is no rattle at all, and sometimes the rattle does make it a bit uncomfortable - not sure if this is due to positioning in the train or certain trains. Best coaster at Alton Towers in my opinion, closely followed by Nemesis.

Rode the same model in Finland and enjoyed them both - yes it is a short ride but it packs in a good amount of intensity for it's size. I think the front is more fun as you get pushed into the hills b...

Rode the same model in Finland and enjoyed them both - yes it is a short ride but it packs in a good amount of intensity for it's size. I think the front is more fun as you get pushed into the hills by the launches. Lap bar is a bit uncomfortable but I didn't find it too bad

I rode both the front and the back and enjoyed both. The front was amazing for the first drop, the back definitely more intense with whip over the airtime hills. Small amount of rattle but not bad for...

I rode both the front and the back and enjoyed both. The front was amazing for the first drop, the back definitely more intense with whip over the airtime hills. Small amount of rattle but not bad for its age. Equal place to Kondaa for me - Kondaa is way smoother but a bit less intense. Sunday in April, no queues which was a good thing because the capacity is poor - one train operation every 5 mins.

This was my favourite of the two, although shorter and a bit less intense than Fear, I thought the surprises were more fun. Both coasters changed my opinion of spinning coasters - often they give me ...

This was my favourite of the two, although shorter and a bit less intense than Fear, I thought the surprises were more fun. Both coasters changed my opinion of spinning coasters - often they give me a headache but on this one the spinning felt controlled and not too dizzying.

Best train coaster I have ridden, packs in a lot of intensity, especially at the back of the train. Lots of surprises and a great dark section. Very long with 3 lift hills. Thoroughly enjoyed this one...

First ride was at the back, felt it was a lot of fun and the launches were impressive but overall lacked some intensity. But then I rode it in the front row and it was like a different ride - much more intense and so much speed on the launches. Only con for me was some dead spots and general lack of airtime.

Was expecting a lot worse given the reviews, actually enjoyed this a lot! Yes you have to brace the whole time to avoid head banging, but it has great intensity and the first drop is fab. Probably wou...

Was expecting a lot worse given the reviews, actually enjoyed this a lot! Yes you have to brace the whole time to avoid head banging, but it has great intensity and the first drop is fab. Probably wouldn’t queue for it though
