More fun than I was expecting. There is some great hangtime and whip I got over the top of the barrel roll drop left me grinning. Shame about the short length and the over abrasive stop on the chain lift.

Phenomenal. Such an incredible ride from it's relentless pacing, powerful airtime and intense twists and turns. There is not one moment of wasted track on Taiga. The views of Helsinki are awesome and the way the layout interacts with the surrounding rides and terrain are the cherry on the top. Easily top 10 coaster worthy.

A much needed addition to Thorpe Park. The inversions are the highlight for me, particularly the stall which I think might just be the best one I have done. The airtime is potent and sustained but de...

A much needed addition to Thorpe Park. The inversions are the highlight for me, particularly the stall which I think might just be the best one I have done. The airtime is potent and sustained but delivers more towards the floater area. Out of the rides I have had I feel like it rides better in the front. The first drop is fun, but overrated. Great to finally see a more airtime focused coaster in the UK.

The pacing and airtime are great throughout, I was surprised by how many airtime moments there were. It's not the strength of airtime you would get from an RMC, but it certainly a noticeable. It was a...

The pacing and airtime are great throughout, I was surprised by how many airtime moments there were. It's not the strength of airtime you would get from an RMC, but it certainly a noticeable. It was also much more comfortable than I was expecting, although granted the front is usually smoother. While I am still not a fan of the Timberliner trains, I will agree that they do work better on an original gravity group designed ride rather than on a conversion like Tonnerre 2 Zeus.

In all honesty I expected it to feel mild on forces just like one of Vekoma's family suspended coasters. This coaster was defiantly more intense than I was expecting, is it 90's B&M intense? no, but i...

In all honesty I expected it to feel mild on forces just like one of Vekoma's family suspended coasters. This coaster was defiantly more intense than I was expecting, is it 90's B&M intense? no, but it's just as if not more intense than something like Nemesis Inferno. I could feel quite a bit of force in the valleys and the inversions had a graceful float similar to Monster at Gröna Lund. The hills towards the end offered some quality pops of airtime, a slightly bizarre feeling on a inverted coaster.This coaster is also glossy smooth, which kind of funny when you think out of all the new 2024 coasters, Vekoma is now building the smoothest ones. Due to it's smoothness and varied layout, It's incredibly re-ridable too. Once the park eventually put the second train on, the queue went all the way down to 10 minutes, which meant I could bag a couple more rides in. I would say that the back row is the best, but anywhere is good.

Delivered on what I expected, but it's very dependent on where you are sat. The front is the best for airtime (not a lot, but there are 2 good moments) and the back is intense in terms of positive G's...

Delivered on what I expected, but it's very dependent on where you are sat. The front is the best for airtime (not a lot, but there are 2 good moments) and the back is intense in terms of positive G's. The middle is still fun, but nothing world class, the front or back is definitely where it's at. It's get extra points for being one of the best themed coasters in the world.

Not the best Mack launched coaster, but it's a solid ride. Some good airtime moments especially in the back. Probably the best spike I have experienced on a coaster, due to the twist which gives some ...

Not the best Mack launched coaster, but it's a solid ride. Some good airtime moments especially in the back. Probably the best spike I have experienced on a coaster, due to the twist which gives some good laterals and floater airtime. The in-line twist and barrel roll gives a decent bit of hangtime. Wish it was a bit longer, but it's a fun coaster all in all.
