I mean the theming is really really good especially in the station, same goes for the first half the effects are really pretty and it’s like a nice dark ride experience. After the lift hill it’s just a basic spinner coaster in the pitch black which did disappoint me a bit for the time I queued. As nothing happened at all in the black it was just….darkness!

Really enjoyed this, well the first half… the launch is really powerful on such a small stretch of track and the first Sea Serpent roll is great fun pulling some nice positive g’s. The corkscrew after gives a nice little bit of hangtime too but after all the excitement the ride does die down and feels a bit like a family coaster. There’s a small airtime hill at the end which gives you a small bit of ejector to finish off too!

True classic this. One of the best of its kind! The two drops in the dark are extremely fast the second one especially, really gives you a true sense of speed! The rest of the ride is okay it does meander a little bit at the start but there is some fun drops as the ride goes on. Solid coaster all the way and is a must ride!

Pretty solid ride, launch is fun not too intense, the ride is relatively smooth for Vekoma but there is a slight rattle. You can’t really tell what’s ...

Pretty solid ride, launch is fun not too intense, the ride is relatively smooth for Vekoma but there is a slight rattle. You can’t really tell what’s going on because it’s pitch black and there’s only a few effects lighting the place up. Capacity is quite good too the queues go down quite fast, not the biggest fan of the restraints now, too restrictive!!

The first minute of the ride is very dead, just a couple of small drops which is all very slow paced, the drop into the loop is quite fun and the loop...

The first minute of the ride is very dead, just a couple of small drops which is all very slow paced, the drop into the loop is quite fun and the loop is pretty intense due to the speed you’re going and the size of it. The helix straight after is also quite compact and intense. Other than that there’s just dead spots, the theming is amazing though especially throughout the queue line!

This ride is just insane and I love it, the vertical lift seems to just go on forever and then you get some INSANE hangtime after the climb which is just never ending, the drop is steep and fast, the over-banked curve is intense and did make me grey out a bit!! The quick pop of airtime really does eject you out your seat and I love it!! The ride is really smooth overall just the lap bars are very uncomfortable which do dig into your hips and I’d wish the ride went on for a bit longer as it’s over in the blink of an eye!

Not the biggest fan of this type of ride, the layout itself was fun and lasted for a while but the experience wasn’t the most enjoyable. The brakes are harsh and the ride is quite rattly. It has some decent near misses though especially when going into the cave.

I personally didn’t mind this coaster, it’s rare and only one of two of its kind. It is very rough and you will hit your head! But the layout is quite...

I personally didn’t mind this coaster, it’s rare and only one of two of its kind. It is very rough and you will hit your head! But the layout is quite fun and the location is oddly pretty!!

I was not disappointed when I first rode this, had to keep re-riding!! The theming is excellent, each of the launches are decent, not too intense but still fun!! Every inversion gives some great hangtime the stall in particular is immense, the top-hat gives some great views over the park just wish it didn’t have the trims, would rather fly over like velocicoaster!! The only bit I personally didn’t like was the way the ride suddenly stopped on the half pipe kind of ruined the pacing. But the ride itself is a MASTERPIECE, every element is unique. Definitely best ride I’ve ridden so far!

A would go for 5 stars on this but my ride on this was quite disappointing due to it being ruined by a really bad rattle worst I’ve felt yet! Did impact my body and put me off the day for a bit. Other than that the duration is excellent, the first drop is awesome, has some nice pops of airtime and the inversions are smooth and relaxing, just at higher speeds the rattle kicks in…

Took me by surprise this family coaster, really was enjoyable! The first drop gives some nice airtime and the two helix’s are very disorienting. The lap bars are comfy and the ride is smooth. Unfortunate there are a few dead spots near the end of the ride but overall it’s pretty decent!

No bad things to say about Swarm… a smooth and comfortable ride experience with some very good hangtime on each inversion, no means intense at all, just relaxing! Like you’re flying!! Theming around the Swarm Island is amazing too and adds to the experience.

I have nothing bad at all to say about this ride, an underrated invert with some insane intensity. Each inversion throws you around and it does become really disorienting after the 3rd corkscrew, but it will make you dizzy! Not massively but you’ll notice when you step off... The entire ride is smooth and enjoyable. Always love coming back to this.

Unpopular opinion, but I think this is one of my favourite rides at Thorpe Park (yet to ride Hyperia) the entire experience starting from the queue is AMAZING, the theming throughout the queue line is stunning and it continues all the way into the station. It’s probably one of the most exciting queues you’ll experience. The ride itself, I don’t think it is as rough as people say it is, it’s by no means smooth but it’s not headbangy either… it’s a nice fun layout but in my opinion lacks intensity a bit, but you do get some great hangtime over the bathroom scene (heartline roll). But the experience is FANTASTIC.

An incredibly fun coaster with one of the most insane launches you’ll ever feel, you feel it throughout your body! The top hat gives some great floater airtime with some nice views over the park…for about 2 seconds…. Unfortunately this ride is ageing a bit so it does become quite rough and a bit ‘headbangy’ as you ascend up 207 feet!!

Enjoy riding due to it being the worlds first ‘10 looping’ coaster, each inversion is quite intense giving some good positive g’s and lots of hangtime...

Enjoy riding due to it being the worlds first ‘10 looping’ coaster, each inversion is quite intense giving some good positive g’s and lots of hangtime on the 5 heart line rolls!! Unfortunately this ride is not smooth… you will get off with a big headache, it’s a really fun ride though other than the roughness.

A well themed and fairly intense rollercoaster with three suprisingly punchy launches, one which launches you backwards up a half pipe which gives you a great quick pop of airtime. The second launch heading into the layout is quite intense. The heartline roll after the launch is incredibly fun giving some insane hangtime the second launch up into the upwards helix is quite punchy but the helix is ruined by a distinctive rattle which ruins the experience, it is particularly worse when going backwards down the helix. Rest of the ride is smooth as anything and is a perfect beginner coaster!!

Never been a fan of these types of spinners purely because they mess with my head, but Dragons Fury is definitely one of my favourites of this type, with a well spread out layout with some great pops of airtime at points. Its a surprisingly smooth ride too for its age!!

A true nostalgic classic to me this ride is. Being one of the first coasters i'd ever ridden from the age of 6! Upsets me to see this ride age and get extremely rough and rattly, with the ride breaking down a fair amount too.

I mean it's alright, its not designed to be comfortable. I personally find the sharp turns quite fun and entertaining, the rest of the ride is just a bit dead and uncomfortable.
