Kraken caught me by surprise, preferring it heavily to Mako with the inversions and intensity.
I really didn't realise how big this thing was on ground level so the drop in the back is probably one of my favourites! Some minor headbanging here and there but it tracks better than Penguin Trek.

When it comes to my preferences for coasters, Shambhala isn't one that qualifies itself for the top 5, but there's no denying it's a fun and super re-rideable attraction.
The standout element for me is definitely that first drop or speed hill as they offer the most violent forces on the ride. If you're looking for a coaster that makes you feel like you're floating in the clouds then this is definitely the one for you!

Manta definitely caught me off guard with how good it was, providing a well rounded layout that tries to crush you some moments and glide around the next. It creates a really good ride experience that allows you just enough time to recover before doing something new.
My biggest concern, having ridden Galactica, was the B&M flyer restraints. These are still a bit uncomfortable but they dont seem to lock as hard on this ride. Dont sleep on this one!!
This ride is awful, I love it! This is probably a wild one to have this high but this is my pick for my "hear me out on this one" coaster.

I just sat giggling the entire time, even my dad in his 60s came on for a second lap as it just reminded him of Grand National at the pleasure beach. This is simply an inverting and non-racing version of that ride on steroids.
Long live Spineblower.

Would you like some airtime with your turns? Whilst the layout is repetitive, the airtime totally hits on every hill and that first drop in the back row is fantastic.

Hulk succeeded my expectations, initially preferring it to Velocicoaster before it had time to warm up fully. This thing runs intense at every hour of the day and has a really great first half. The second half does step it down slightly but it just reminds me of a B&M looper which isn't necessarily a bad thing!
The launch, zero g roll and cobra roll are a fantastic first 3 elements that aim to suck all the blood out of your body. Good stuff!!!

As of December 2025, without a doubt my favourite invert. This is everything I wish Nemesis Reborn was, a longer layout and for sure more intense in some spots.
I believe the only reason Reborn sometimes gets put above this is because its shorter and sustains its intensity for most of the ride, meaning you have a more fully intense ride even if its shorter.
For me though, I like that this ride has some floaty moments sprinkled in. Highlights are for sure the batwing and final corkscrew in the trench!
This was the coaster that started it all for me, and despite how Merlin look after it, it's still one of my favourites.

This was the coaster that started it all for me, and despite how Merlin look after it, it's still one of my favourites.
The biggest issue with this ride is definitely how hit or miss it can be with it's roughness, but if you manage to catch it on a good day then it's easily one of our better coasters here in the UK.

This ride can be described in a single word: fun. Going down the same hill (which is perfect terrain usage) like 3 times with high speed is just plain fun. Is it repetitive? Absolutely, but it's still fun.

Another coaster that caught me off guard. This was the first coaster I'd done that had some proper backwards launches, Revolution's not being punchy, as well as my first launched airtime hill. This could mean that since riding it in 2023 I may have come across better and it could move down in future but as of now this remains probably my pick for a sleeper hit at Walibi Belgium.
