Super underrated ride, Saw the Ride is such a fun, intense and just all around, good ride. I personally think it's 2nd best in the park, the theme compliments the ride so well, the indoor section is super fun, the heartline roll, drop, it's all fun. The inversions are super intense especially that Dive Loop near the end that's super tight for no reason, I wish there was no headbanging on this as it can ruin some really fun moments on that ride. The mid-course brake run is also super deranged, as in it doesn't brake at all, you then fly down a super tight drop into that even tighter Dive Loop. This ride is just really cool, it fits in the area surprisingly well, especially with Samurai's re-theme. I just wish the headbanging was calmer, all around a really good ride though. Bit rough, super intense and nice airtime though!

Hyperia, the perfect ride. I love it, want an insane Mack Hyper with ejector and insane elements, this ride has you. I can't explain it in words so I'm going to go at it element by element, the first outer-banked turn starts the ride off with a cool little interaction with the queue, one of the best I've ever seen, I would say the chain lift is suspenseful and that it's insane, but it's not, it's very fast and you look out to a lake, not much too see. The first drop is insane but kind of overrated in my opinion, don't get me wrong it's insane but I would only say it's top 3, insane ejector and whip. The first junior Immelmann, it doesn't do too much but the drop afterwards is really fun, next we come up the 2nd best element on the ride, the Kremer Roll, you come up get outer-banked then absolutely get jolted out your seat basically upside down but with airtime hanging out of a tiny little bar about to fall 167 feet into a mud pit, also on topic of the restraints, they are really comfortable and free, ride operator stapled me a couple times but the airtime from the first drop alone doesn't care and whips you out anyway. After this insane outer-banked moment, you do a downwards roll that gives some really nice hangtime, next is the stall, I first rode Hyperia after the nylon wheels were added, so I never experienced the older, slower version, due to this, the stall didn't do much for me and didn't give no hangtime, this speed increase did benefit the best element on the ride, this tiny, innocent looking outer-bank, wave turn style element, you get absolutely fucking yanked out of your seat then get jolted back into your seat, into a small airtime hill, doesn't give no airtime, but I don't care, this ride does it all for me, a masterpiece of a ride. If I had the option to delete every other ride in the U.K and keep this or remove Hyperia, but keep everything else, I would genuinely do the first option, I can't explain how much I miss this ride. Insane masterpiece, that's it, I don't know what else to say, beauty!

I'm reviewing this as an enthusiast, from my perspective and not as the target audience, young children, rode it when I was like 6, decided to ride it on my last visit, seems fun for the kids but obviously doesn't do anything for thrill-seekers.

Underrated, probably the most underrated in the park, super intense launch, the first turn is also super intense, some nice airtime hills after too. Will be sad to see it go if it does, wish it was more reliable, don't go front row in the rain.

Wickerman, the best family coaster in the world. This ride is super fun and fast paced, just wish it had stronger airtime. The theming, where do I start, walking into a pirate themed land but finding a huge wicker structure staring down at you, I'm obsessed with this rides backstory and the theme is super dark and disturbing, I love it. The pre-show is just class, I know it word by word, and I'm proud of it. The ride is just fun, I'd probably describe it like Zadra, if it was a family GCI. This ride would be a 5 star ride if it was a bit taller and had more ejector, sadly it doesn't but on it's own, it's still insane, the airtime is surprisingly strong though. It's barely airtime but it's shaped so it whips you almost, really fun. This ride is probably a 3 star ride in the morning on a front row, but if you get a ride near the end of your day on the back row, it's insane! Super fun, nice airtime and class theming!

Nemesis Reborn, forget the ride experience, just looking at it is a masterpiece. This ride is not for looking at though however and the layout is almost perfect but I have a couple little things to dig at. The layout is all around really fun and can get quite intense at some bits, but it does have a couple dead spots, the turn-arounds before and after the Vertical Loop are a bit dead, they don't do much for me, the helicopter on the first one is cool, but you don't see it on-ride. The last inversion and last turn don't do much either, you could say I'm being harsh because it's only a couple of elements, but this is half the ride we are talking about, I feel like if it had a couple more standout elements, it could easily be best at Alton Towers and maybe make top 50 in the world, but sadly, it doesn't. Insane theming, masterpiece, just a couple dead spots.

The Smiler, the best ride at Alton Towers, it's controversial I know, but it is so fun. If you want a really fun coaster that's not to intense with some really cool inversions, this is your ride, the theming is also immaculate. This ride is pure bliss, the only reason I don't give it a 5 star rating is because of the restraints, everyone cries about this ride saying it's to rough and that the last 3 inversions are insanely rough, but in my opinion, it's really smooth around the whole ride with the tiniest rattle in the valley after the Cobra Roll. If this ride had lap bars, it would be a perfect ride. The second airtime hill, I have to mention it, it's insane, your super disorientated from just doing 10 inversions and you get absolutely whacked into the restraint then instantly slammed right back into your seat with the G-Force before the Cobra Roll, it's insanity. Really fun ride, intense but not too intense, just all around sick!
