    Listen, it was glass smooth not sure why people think it isn’t. Maybe y’all need stronger necks

    Airtimes First Drop Fluidité

    Like many RMCs it took a while to warm up but I’ll never judge a coaster after one ride. It’s another banger from RMC but I have to admit it’s my lowest rating from the manufacturer (still great). It’s also literally the smoothest ride I’ve ever been on it’s almost unbelievable

    Fun Layout Longueur Harnais

    Yeah the restraints aren’t great but the layout is so unique and forces are so fun so stop being a baby and have fun

    It's fine. It has no real forces, nor does it sustain speed. But that keeps it fun for families. Just a far cry from the other 20's woodie in the NYC region.

    Bonne suprise ! Fun Débit

    Overall a fun ride. Certainly the best spinner I've been on (though that'll obviously change whenever i go to plopsaland)

    Situation Vitesse Déception ! Layout

    Vampire's nothing special really. Just a small little family coaster. I mean, what do you expect, it's chessington

    Airtimes Lap Bar Launch Layout

    Rita is just alright. Nothing much else to say really. Nice launch, some good moments of floater, but that's all tbh. Still an ok ride, but nothing too special.

    Nemesis is an absolutely world class ride, and certainly the best B&M invert out there. It's packed with G-forces, whippy inversions and transitions, and overall an amazing layout. It's getting re-tracked soon and while I wish it would be open when i go in March of next year, I'm extremely glad that it's getting the love and attention that it deserves.

    Inversions Ejectors Longueur Vibrations Baffes

    World's most inversions on a coaster! The smiler's a great addition to alton's lineup, and possibly the second best at the park (just behind nemesis). The inversions are great, though at times can feel a bit samey, almost feeling like its just dive loop after dive loop in certain parts. I dont suggest riding back row if at all possible. While the common consensus with us coaster enthusiasts being that the back row usually leads to a better ride experience, here it really isnt the case. The back row is extremely rough, especially going into that cobra roll the roughness can just feel like a little too much. The restraints arent too bad, though lap bars would certainly eliminate the headbanging. But all that aside, if you can get a 1st or 2nd row ride on the smiler, it truly is a blast. If you're wishing to get by the queues faster, a good thing to note is that the smiler has a single rider queue, so if you don't mind splitting up with your party or don't mind which seat you're in, i highly suggest it.

    Débit Fluidité Layout Trop court Harnais

    This monday i went to thorpe park with my dad. Had a great ride and in the last hour or so i decided to go on the swarm, and the queue was absolutely EMPTY! So long story short i spent my last hour of the day doing laps of this ride, and got a good 16 runs in. But obviously that's not what you're here for, so lets get into the ride itself. My main cons with the ride were the vest restraints and the ride duration, the vest restraints dug into my collarbone a lot of the time which caused a bit of discomfort, but it wasn't anything too bad. The ride feels almost laughably short, which is quite sad as it has an amazing layout, I simply wish there was more of it, which speaks well for the layout itself. The ride is smooth as butter, which is great especially as its a wing coaster. The smoothness almost makes you feel as if you're flying through the air, which is great. The ride starts off with a slow dive loop going into a nice head-chopper with the plane wing, and then transitioning into a nice zero-g roll. You then go in through the billboard giving another great head chopper. The ride then goes into a banked turn and into a half helix and up into another zero-g roll. You then pull up and into this amazing inline twist and into a sort of unnecessary mid-course brake-run. The ride then goes into another half helix and then into the brake run. Overall a spectacular ride and definitely my favourite at the park, though I do wish it were longer!
