This is at my home park, and I've been going on this coaster for years. It has gotten rougher over time but is still pretty smooth for a wooden coaster. The trains can be a little difficult to get into, but they are pretty comfortable. Biggest con is how it ONLY RUNS 1 TRAIN. Seriously wish they would fix that. The pros greatly outweigh the cons though. The titian track was a very good improvement for the drop and the bit on the return trip, it even seems like it increased the speed. That has caused some of the other track to feel rougher though. The airtime is insane, on hot summer days its crazy good ejector. The location is one of the prettiest I've experienced, going through the trees on the mountain and being right next to the lake. Night rides are an absolute must do experience. Take everything you experience I n the da and make it twice as good from not being able to see anything. You truly have no idea where you are going. Can't recommend riding enough.

The layout is amazing, airtime is great. I got some great night rides this year where it was running incredible, so good I like it better then Steel Vengeance, but I also got some slow morning rides this year too. The average experience is great though.

This is one of the most underrated coasters i've ever been on. The whole ride is an amazing experience and gives you a true flying sensation. The drop and the two inversions are awesome, especially the dive! The only thing I will say is to make sure you do this ride early on when the crowd starts to die down, as this ride can get one of the longest lines in the park, if not the longest. But overall a very fun coaster!

I'm gonna risk having a huge Efteling-fans-mob knocking my door down and horribly murdering me. I'm sorry, but I'll say it: Walking Dead is better than Vogel Rok. The outdoor queue is simple but efective, the backpack storage system common at some Merlin rides is great, and the preshow is pretty cool as well. The coaster itself is a nice mid-level coaster with *some* theming around. I mean, other indoor coasters, such as Efteling's, are mainly a roller coaster in the pitch dark, with maybe one or two theming pieces around. The Walking Dead has much more. Yeah, it may have plenty of room for improvement, the quality isn't great, but at least there is stuff to look at. Some screens and some other things. And the MCBR has a weird and original effect that really adds some storytelling to the experience. I kinda expected to like this ride more than other people, and yet it positively surprised me. However, I must say it has the potential to be a lot better. The indoor "queue" portion could be heavily improved, as well as the theming on the ride itself, but it's Thorpe Park, after all, not Efteling or Phantasialand. Also, due to its nature and mediocre quality, I don't think it provides much, passed the surprise factor, so maybe not very rerideable. Really worth a ride, though; specially since it rarely has long waits.

This shot up too my number one overall coaster spot immediately when I rode this for the first time and I just kept on lapping it over and over again. The only problem I have with it is the seatbelt under the lap bar. The seatbelt's hard metal part gets shoved into my thigh when the lap bar comes down. Nothing wrong with the layout just the trains.
It was a really fun ride in the back with insane floater but some of those hills have a little rattle. I don't know how they can fix this but its a go...
