    Inversions Chef d'oeuvre

    So, nemesis is not a ride to my taste - I like drops, hangs and airtime and nemesis delivers none of that. But I can acknowledge how insane this little beast is, and I still love it. It is excellently paced, it is strong throughout without any dead moments. The proximity to the terrian and theming is elite and adds chopper moments. Each inversion is smooth and grants amazing forces, and it is whippy as all hell. I did not detect a true rattle on my rides, but it did seem bumpier than I'd expect (seems a train issue more than a track) - this did not register during the ride, but only in the aftermath so was not at all a dealbreaker for me. This is a world-class invert, and whilst not to my taste (i.e., not my favourite) I 100% get why people rate it so highly. The new theming is fantastic. A classic.

    Débit Baffes Trop court

    It was alright, it had a short line, but was a touch rough and the layout was to be desired.

    Launch Vitesse Débit

    It was amazing! The equisite ride on this with the beutifil second launch. The whippy transitions, and the duration, just, MWAH!

    First Drop Hangtime Trop court Airtimes

    Very Fun. Drop is the best bit. Mid section is pretty good. Wave turn is really good. Outer bank is rubbish.

    Airtimes Déception !

    Dogshit.

    Théma Launch Layout

    I get that Disney prefers heavy theming & building a full experience, but this leans way too heavily into the theming aspect. They could have pulled back from that for the 2nd launch, and did it Big Bear style so that you actually get some speed, instead of stopping so an audio piece can play then accelerating slower than Copperhead Strike. Mack really needs to step up their game on their launches, just based on their ones I've ridden.

    Théma Inversions Longueur Vibrations

    This one surprised me. It is known that I am not an inversion heavy person, positive g's are not my bag. YET Smiler has won me over. The sheer mania of not really knowing where you are in the ride is just something, and that's only elevated by how compact this ride is. You don't absolutely speed through each element, so it does not feel dizzying until you actually depart. The lift hills build just the right amount of suspense and I adore the little bunny hops of airtime to break up that positive force that has been built up. It is a masterpiece in pacing when considering the record it holds - and as a result that record may take years still to break. The theming is demented, hilarious and brilliant. The only downside for me is that it currently has a noticeable clunk in to the valleys and is in need of some repainting - could benefit from some work which I expect will come soon. Unexpected winner.

    Théma Chef d'oeuvre

    Prefacing this with - this is meant to be a family ride, so do not expect be super intense but also... in the same vane do not expect it to be tame. The theming is literally world class, especially for any wooden coaster. The pre-show somehow works with the queuing system (and I don't even know how). The best thing about this ride is how different and great the front and back feel - most rides there is a clear winner. This one there is not. Front feels incredibly whippy, it feels unruly in speed and the laterals are insane. Whereas at the back, though there is no big drop, you get huge pops of airtime and a less lateral heavy ride. So I love the back, but my brother loves the front, and I think that's awesome. This ride, it's something else, it's deceptive, dynamic and a joy to ride. End of day rides on a warm day, are elite. An absolutely insane part of Alton's line up.

    Confort Fun Théma

    Such a relaxing ride and surprisingly comfortable. The 'backwards' / on your back portion is so fun. Makes a great break from the more intense rides of the park but does desperately need retheming and some under track theming (which it currently completely lacks, so makes for an ugly visual). I gather they will retheme to fit with the Phalanx vibe, but lets hope it's sooner rather than later! This is not the ride I would remove from the park, as I think it serves a niche in the country and the park - so I do hope it stays, as it is a perfectly fine and reliable thing.
