I'll knock my con out of the way first, this is not a comfortable ride. The seats are very hard, and they feel extremely small, there's very little support for your back particularly if you're taller like myself. I found myself not enjoying the ride as much as I could've done because of this. However, regardless, this is a hell of a good mine train. The length is crazy, it feels like it's going on forever. A few of the drops and hills give genuine airtime, not crazy but still pretty forceful. Some of the helixes and turns are pretty snappy too, for what is the parks main family coaster. There's no doubt that layout wise, it's one of the best family coasters going. Impressive ride, I just wish it was a bit more comfortable so i would want to do rerides!

This is a very good invert. Phantasialand are the masters of theming, and Black Mamba is no exception, the whole Africa section, and the ride, look great. There's a nice drumming style soundtrack, that's quite light and fun in the area, but takes a more aggressive turn when the train dispatches the station. For me, the first drop is the big highlight, it's not massive but it's pretty steep and it whips you round to the right at the back of the train. The rest of the layout after that is the usual intense B&M invert stuff, although I thought the corkscrews really punched on this, very forceful. The only down side really, is it peters out at the end, you don't swing into the brake run with a lot of speed, but it's only a minor complaint really. Very enjoyable ride

Nice enjoyable classic woodie. Didn't find it too rough, definitely had a rattle but it is getting on for 100 years old, so it's excusable. Found the first half a little bland, but the return run of hills gave some decent floater. I hope they keep this going as a woodie, grand national is the clear RMC candidate here

I love riding Thirteen. It's just a great fun coaster, it's obviously not very extreme, but at Towers it doesn't need to be. Love the theme, nice and dark, good soundtrack too. The first half is fun, though how much better it would be without the huge trim on the drop is another matter. I understand why it's there though. Its nice and smooth, and some fun pops of airtime too. Then the undoubted highlight, the fantastic drop track which is very well done, and very snappy, aided by some nice special effects. The launch backwards into the underground helix is a great finale, before you shoot forward back into the station. Family coaster, yes undoubtedly, but great fun every time

One of those iconic coasters that disney have used their magic on, on it's own you have a fairly decent but not mind blowing Vekoma Mine Train, but all the theming, the wonderful setting, the "explosion" on the lift hill, turns it into a great experience, and a "must do" ride if you go to Disneyland Paris
