    First Drop Fun Longueur Temps mort

    This coaster is ridiculously fun, with fantastic spinning and a fantastic duration. As others have said, this ride really DOES deliver until the very end. Only complaint: cut back on the block brakes! Sometimes it's a block, drop, another block. I get why they're there, as Chessington gets busy, as well as the coaster being the first thing you see walking in. At least they barely slow you down.

    Bonne suprise ! Fun Longueur Harnais Temps mort Fiabilité

    Vampire is a lot of fun, and a great fir for Chessington. It's very long, dashing through the woodlands is fun, and that final drop is incredible. The second half, though, is a little slow. The restraint isn't very fun either, it's on the bulkier side for sure. It's also not very reliable, but that's kind of expected for an Arrow coming up to it's 30th anniversary.

    Situation Fun Layout Harnais

    This coaster is ridiculously fun. The spinning is great every time, but it's just enough to not lose your lunch on. My main issue with the ride is the seatbelt; when I went to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and rode Ice Mountain, that doesn't have the extra seatbelt, and the airtime is ridiculous. Knowing the seatbelt isn't required, in my eyes, it just slows down operations.

    First Drop Situation Intensité Vibrations Baffes Inconfort

    This is an odd one. While the coaster is quite intense, it can be difficult to enjoy it when your head is constantly being bounced around in the restraints. A very bad moment is the transition into the turn after the loop. It's a very hairpin transition and isn't pleasant. I think the trains could do with a refurbish. I did hear something about how the coaster needs OTSR's due to clearance issues, so perhaps adding padding to the restraints may make it a little more tolerable.

    Airtimes First Drop Bonne suprise ! Trop court Débit Inconfort

    This coaster is brilliant. The entire ride is just pure madness, and the first drop is fantastic. The main issue is it uses a system similar to the newer Vekoma SFC's when it comes to trains. There isn't really a brake run, the train just goes into the station. This means it physically cannot run 2 trains. Unfortunately to compensate the coaster is very short. But, because up until recently this was the park's signature attraction, they can't just have it do 2 circuits, or the queue would be too long. The trains are also quite small, which is a bit of an issue. Note, that the date is based on the year and month I rode it in. I don't remember the exact date

    First Drop Fun Ejectors Débit

    The ridiculously intense ejector on this ride gives Wood Express, the neighbouring Timberliner, some big competition. It's strange for sure, but it's ridiculously fun. I haven't ridden it in a while, but I don't remember it being shaky, and if it is, in my eyes it only adds the the experience. The oddly shaped switchbacks are a lot of fun too. Despite me listing capacity as a con, it's not that bad as long as the park runs all the trains they can, which on my visits they did seem to do. Despite that, it can still get a large line.

    Airtimes Théma

    Floating over dumpsters and parking lots has never been so fun! If you get stapled at all, you're in for one boring ride...keep em loose, and you'll experience some bonkerz floater air. Typical hyper with a focus on air and if you love the sound and kick on of trims, you're in for treat my strange friend. Trims all over! But honestly they don't kill the ride or even trim that much. Needs a re-theming, or I-305 needs a re-theming. Earnhardt doesn't strike me as the man for floater airtime. Maybe Rusty Wallace? Anyway, a solid but not quite top level hyper for me, Goliath and Apollo stand above it by a bit.

    Intensité Layout Longueur

    Brilliant wooden coaster. Keeps its speed throughout and has multiple intense moments shifting you side to side and has nice moments of ejector air surprisingly. Front row and back are both great. Very solid wooden coaster and the amount of laterals is bonkerz. Solid number 2 in the park and not far off from number 1.

    Théma Layout Hangtime

    Nothing negative to say. There needs to be more like this in the States. Really different layout and an all-around solid coaster. Does nothing poorly, pacing is great and varied throughout. Moments of inversions, bonkerz hangtime, intensity, air, not to mention the great theming. Awesome and complete ride.
