Launch

The launch is too much, I see why other might like that intensity, but for me it's just not enjoyable. The anxiety it causes me is just not worth it. I'm very excited for this ride to receive an LSM launch because I just can't handle the hydraulic one.

The best coaster at Waldameer!

Airtimes First Drop Vibrations Baffes

It is one of the best coasters I have ever been on! Although it is extremely loud, that doesn’t really matter, as the ride makes up for it in thrills!

Airtimes Layout Ejectors

It was incredible. My favorite woodie and best coaster in Texas. It barely beats out Iron Rattler, but this is even crazier.

Lap Bar Confort Fluidité

After Wodan and Silver Star, it is the third best coaster at Europa Park! Blue Fire lacks a bit in intensity and the launch may not be the strongest out there (although it accelerates faster than many other Mack coasters) , but it's still good fun: the coaster runs glossy smooth and thanks to the comfortable seats and lap bars, the ride experience feels really free. While most of the layout is moderately intense, the heartline roll has some very strong hangtime. Theming is nicely done (except of the huge glass building beneath), especially the rockwork looks really nice and the darkride section in the beginning with the power plant and the loud siren before the launch is atmospheric. I also like the intersection with Wodan, which can lead to nice interactions. During winter season, both the track and some of the trains are illuminated - which looks absolutely gorgeous! The onboard music is a nice gimmick, but it is not featured on all trains, often defect and should be played louder, because you can only hear it in the slower parts. Altogether, I like this coaster more than its reputation and especially at night, I really enjoy riding it!

Théma Confort Layout

After Steath, this is the best coaster of the park: the apocalyptic theming looks really cool, the near-miss elements enhance the ride experience and like all the other wing coasters, it is a very photogenetic ride. Operations were pretty quick and the ride itself is great: It is smooth, the dive drop is always a pleasure and while not being as forceful as Fenix, the helix has some decent forces. The inversions are taken gracefully and due to the restraints, it is a very comfortable experience. The trains look really cool and there is also some acoustic theming - there are many sound effects and there is a great soundtrack by the rock band "You Me at Six ", which I really appreciate. Altogether, The Swarm is an awesome overall experience.

Airtimes Launch Fluidité Fiabilité

My favorite at Thorpe Park: It is all about the insanely fast launch, but the top hat is taken quite swiftly and has some great airtime - all while running completely smooth. In these aspects, I prefer Stealth to Red Force, which creeps over the top hat and has a rattle in the back while being more than ten years younger. Additionally, operations on Stealth were one of the best at Thorpe Park - thanks to a baggage drop before the station, a separate loading and unloading platform and two trains, the line moved quickly. Theming is only loosely done, but it still looks okay and I like the train design. The only downside of this ride is the reliability - like the other Intamin hydraulic launch coasters, there is many downtime (it went down two times during our visit), but this ride should not be missed when visiting this park. Three, two, one, GO GO GO!!!

Théma Inversions Intensité Trop court

This is one of the weaker inverts I have been on, but on the other hand, the competition is strong - Nemesis Inferno is not a bad ride by any means: Theming is well done (I like the lush vegetation underneath it and the section before the lifthill is also a nice gimmick) and the ride experience is your typical intense and smooth invert with fun inversions and some forceful turns, albeit the latter are not as strong as Black Mamba. While being longer than it's namesake in Alton Towers, this ride feels shorter, I think this is due to the fairly long pre-lift section. As a result, this ride feels like it is missing something, but I cannot say what exactly. Operations are kind of a mixed bag, but mostly, they were okay. Overall, this is the third best coaster of Thorpe Park and definetely worth a ride. The biggest con is the awkward choice of the name - cause it's not really being related to the Nemesis at Alton Towers, I personally think just "Inferno" would be much better.

Fluidité Sans intérêt Temps mort

Welp, I don't know what to think about this ride: Preshow was fine and better than I expected, while the theming during the long walk to the station is only sporadically. The vehicles are a bit cramped with two adults next to each other, but at least, this ride runs smooth. The ride experience itself, it was mostly kind of "meh": for the spooky theming, the coaster itself is fairly tame - it mostly just meanders around and I don't get the point of the multiple complete stops which kill the flow. Theming during the ride is also mediocre at best, only at the final breakrun, there were some traditional scare effects. During the exit, there were no scare actors (which I personally consider as an advantage, I really don't like that kind of stuff), but the ridiculously long way through the darkness was tedious and pointless (maybe because of this circumstances the former name "X - No way out"). I personally think it was a bad idea to transform a family-friendly ride into a horror attraction - one less attraction for people not into thrill.

Situation Temps mort Intensité

Feels more like a monorail than a coaster - but at least, it runs fairly smooth compared to other Zamperla powered coasters and the location above the lake is nice.
