Airtimes First Drop Ejectors

Certainly the best woodie at Pleasurebeach, and tied with Wickerman for me for the best woodie in the UK. The Grand National is a fantastic Ride that offers lots of airtime, really throws you out of your seat and quite literally ‘hurtles’ around the track. It is rough, but it’s worth it for the airtime and the dual racing aspect.

Lap Bar Confort Fun Intensité

I have never got the hate towards thirteen, yes it was badly advertised but the ride itself is extremely smooth and fun with good Themeing. But the ride seriously lacks intensity and for that reason. I prefer accelerator at Drayton manor.

Launch Fun Intensité

Stealth is a brilliant coaster, with a powerful launch as well as an intense drop. Queue times are always surprisingly short, and the theming- especially the radio station with 60’s songs- fits the ride perfectly. I could ride Stealth over and over again and never get bored of that launch and top hat!

Fun Intensité Layout

Obviously not as impressive as it’s namesake at Alton Towers, this ride was still very intense and has a great layout. You can’t go wrong with a B&M invert, they are smooth yet intense. Great addition to Thorpe Park, and the third strongest in the lineup (After Stealth&Swarm) in my opinion.

First Drop Théma Intensité

I really don’t get all the hate for Infusion. Maybe I’m just the right height to not experience severe headbanging, but I’ve never found the coaster to be particularly rough. The setting, over water, is fantastic- it’s one of the most visually pleasing coasters I’ve ridden. The first drop is solid, and there is a strange airtime moment just after the butterfly loop, which is a subtle favourite part of the ride for me. Ok it’s no Nemesis, but it’s a solid invert which is a good edition to Pleasurebeach.

Baffes Débit Inconfort

I queued two hours for this ride, and boy what a mistake that was. Quite simply the worst rollercoaster I have ever rode, and if all coasters where like this I would have no interest in them whatsoever. The restraints are awful, I’m a 6ft guy and my neck was banged to pieces throughout the ride. If I was a few inches shorter in height, I can’t imagine the headbanging I would have experienced. I actually felt sick getting off this ride, as my neck and base of head had taken a real pounding. The ride itself is rough, and by the time I experienced the 4th?! Heartline role I just wanted the ride to end.

Fun

A solid woodie, with a great first drop. However from then on I would have liked to see more airtime. The Grand National at Blackpool is a far more intense ride, but Wickerman has it for smoothness. I couldn’t pick between them for best woodie in UK for those reasons.

Inversions Hangtime

Saw has great theming- it’s been carefully planned out to provide an immersive experience. The strongest part of the ride for me is the indoor drop, which is very intense. I didn’t notice any roughness, and found the ride enjoyable from beginning to end. The first ‘outdoor’ drop after the vertical lift hill is Oblivion lite, which is never a bad thing!

First Drop Inversions Fun

Second strongest of the Thorpe park coasted (Behind Stealth) for me. The Swarm is a great coaster, with brilliant moments of hangtime, strong inversions, potentially the best theming I’ve ever seen on a coaster and a butter smooth ride. Favourite part of the ride for me was final inversion over the queue line, which provided great hangtime. Fantastic coaster and we are lucky to have one of it’s type in the UK!

Inversions Intensité

I had rode Nemesis a handful of times mid train, and must admit I just didn’t get the hype. I then rode it front seat, and boy was it a whole different experience. The near misses and sight of rocks/water whizzing by your feet completely changed the whole experience. It’s totally different admittedly, but comes just behind Icon @ Blackpool as one of my favourite coasters in the UK.
