Théma Fun

This is just a nice little family coaster and the only one my dad was willing to go on at the park. I think the theming adds a lot, and it's great that it's as long as it is. The Road Runner Express I know, at Magic Mountain, is minuscule compared to this one! It really doesn't stand out, it's just a nice family coaster, but I definitely think it is necessary and worth going on once.

First Drop Théma Longueur Trop court

Six flags, shockingly, nailed the theming on this one. I hope they keep up with cool pre-shows and such in the future, I was really impressed with the queue theming on Flight of Courage but this eclipses that completely. My mom even loved this one! I wish it was a bit longer though. The first drop is pretty great and that final helix is awesome!

Inversions Fun Temps mort

This one is just huge, with these crazy swooping inversions. However, it doesn't do much to stand out and leaves me feeling like there's a lot of dead space. The little superman on the top of the loop is a great touch to observe from afar. I also wish the drop was straight rather than curved. Finally, I rode it around sunset, which made the view on the lift hill absolutely incredible.

Fun Layout Vibrations Temps mort

This one is about as expected. It's ancient, mostly just a relic of it's time, and fun to ride for historical value. The buildup to the loop is pretty hilariously long compared to a lot of the stuff nowadays, and there is a lot of dead time. However, it's still fun and I recommend giving it a ride if the line is short!

Situation Vitesse Fluidité

Nice wooden coaster with not a whole lot special about it other than its gorgeous location. I definitely liked it a lot though, just not a highlight of the park

Situation Fun

I'm getting really late to this review, so I don't remember many specifics of this other than it's in a beautiful location and it is a pretty standard wild mouse. It is definitely cool that it weaves so much to avoid other supports and rides, which is an upside of most of the rides at Grona Lund.

First Drop Fun

This coaster is pretty impressive for what it is. Nothing too crazy, but the interactions with other buildings are great and the weird curved lift hill is definitely interesting. I also noticed that, due to the size of the park, this coaster literally shares supports with another coaster, which is just fucking insane. Overall this thing hauls ass and is definitely very fun.

Situation Fun

This is just a pleasant inverted family coaster without much unique about it. I enjoyed it, but it's been almost a month since I rode it so I don't really have a lot to say. The location on the boardwalk is obviously a plus, it gives great views of Sweden.

Fun Déception ! Sans intérêt

This is a pretty tame family coaster with some lame theming. I didn't even get any human scare actors on mine, which I've heard are a large part of it and can enhance the ride. Honestly was kinda disappointed, but it wasn't bad, just largely forgettable and unimpressive.

Bonne suprise ! Fun

This ride was nice but didn't leave much of an impact. Honestly, I was just on it yesterday and I'm struggling to remember much about it. Granted, it was 103 degrees so maybe my brain was just fried by the point that I was on it. I'll likely write more about it when I ride it next, but I'm glad to see this ride reopen now that Wonder Woman is complete!

First Drop Situation Intensité Trop court

This ride is absolutely incredible. The first drop is complete madness, and then it barely gives you time to take a breath for the entire duration of the ride. The location is also just incredible, and you get some great views of the coast while you're being thrown around. I only wish that it were a little longer, but I'm already impressed it's as long as it is with how little space they were working with. I wish this one was in the US so I could ride it more often!

First Drop Théma Fluidité Inconfort

This rides theming was totally unexpected to me - I had generally low expectations for the theming at this park, since most people don't exactly hype it up, but the destroyed vehicles and billboards (especially the head chopper) are incredible. I got 2 rides on this one - one in the very back, and one in the very front - and I have to say that a front row ride on this coaster is genuinely next level. The forces are great and the ride is just incredibly smooth. Overall my favorite at Thorpe!

Situation Launch Fluidité Trop court

This was my first ever Intamin Accelerator, and I loved it! That launch is just fucking insanity. I only got to ride it once, unfortunately - I went back to ride it again at the end of the day and it almost immediately broke down once I got in line. I would have loved another ride, but as it is I found this super fun, although obviously short.

First Drop Théma Intensité Trop court

I essentially went to Thorpe Park entirely for this ride. Well, not exactly, but I could have gone to Chessington or Alton Towers and I opted for this park because Saw is a guilty pleasure franchise for me and I figure that, now that it's much less popular, the ride isn't much longer for this world. I really loved the theming even though many of the effects no longer function properly, and that first drop comes out of fucking nowhere. The outdoor portion is also great, though both parts of the ride could definitely stand to be longer. The queue was amazing with several genuine props from the movies, and even the outdoor portion was atmospheric. Overall, despite the short length and broken effects, I enjoyed this ride a lot and I'll be sad to see it go if my hypothesis is correct.

Théma Bonne suprise ! Fun Trop court

I rode this one without a lot of expectations, but I really liked the light volcanic theming, especially that early swoop through the steam machines. The layout is also great, if a little short. This was a highlight of my day, and the interlocking corkscrew was incredible. I walked off this one unsure what had even just happened because so much seems to happen in such a short time.

Intensité Longueur Débit Inconfort

Colossus is not as bad as people say! As a taller person, I was expecting a lot more discomfort, but I had no noticeable head-banging, just some cramped legs. The onslaught of inversions is a bit much, and it's clear they threw the corkscrews in at the end just to get that inversion count up, but it's still a lot of fun crawling through those rolls. One of my least favorites in the park, but in such a strong lineup that's hardly a bad thing!

Théma Trop court A raser !

While Universal Orlando has several amazing coasters, we're stuck with an inferior version of The Mummy and a kiddie coaster with a single cute animatronic. Harry Potter land feels decidedly empty with only one decent ride, and I really think they should replace this with literally anything else - even a fun shop would be better. This thing looks short and is shorter than it looks, even the little kids in my car were asking why it was so brief!

Launch Fluidité Trop court

A one-trick pony for sure, but that launch is fuckin' great. This ride is over far too soon and I definitely would not wait more than 25 minutes for it due to its length (which I unfortunately did on this visit) but it's worth it at least once.

Vitesse Fun Chef d'oeuvre

Tatsu is unreal. The only flying coaster I've ever been on, and it's so comfortable, smooth, and crazy intense. That loop is just fucking unreal, it's a sensation I haven't felt on any other coaster. The views of the park are just fucking magnificent. Maybe this one will become less exciting on repeat rides, but as it is I love love love this ride!

Théma Longueur Vibrations

Generally fun but unremarkable, but easily the best theming of any coaster at Magic Mountain. The queue is much more enjoyable than most here - even the brand new West Coast Racers. Other than that there's some fun moments but nothing to write home about. 03-22-22 re-ride: Okay, just rode this again with a full train on a hot day and it was HAULING ass. Literally felt like we were going faster than Escape from Krypton (though I know that wasn't happening). I definitely have a newfound love for this coaster now that I've ridden it at it's peak performance. Put some lights in the effin' queue though.

Vitesse Intensité Layout Inconfort

Maybe it’s because my train was near empty, but I was disappointed by this one compared to my expectations. Maybe when I ride it with a full train in a few weeks, my opinion will change, but as of now it’s just a pretty good dueler that’s far rougher than it should be.

Lap Bar Launch Hangtime Trop court

Great launch directly into a huge loop with great hangtime, with another reverse launch AND forward launch consecutively afterwards with a huge hill. I loved this one despite it's simplicity, and that unhinged laugh sound it plays as you're launched backwards is a beautiful touch.

Layout Inconfort

Really intense, but not necessarily in a good way. I think this would be a really great ride if you could sit down. I had to check my scrotum for punctures after this one.

Situation Déception ! Inconfort

I was really hoping for a pleasant and scenic ride through the woods on this one, but unfortunately it's so slow and rickety that any fun to be had from the scenery is sapped from the ride. I wish this ride were longer, more exciting, and smoother, but through the same area on the hill.

First Drop Intensité Inconfort

1/14/22 This ride is absolutely insane, but I found it a little overrated. Maybe I need to ride it in the back rather than the front, but it didn't seem as exciting to me as when I first rode it. Mostly just disorienting. I have a membership now, so I will definitely be riding it again soon, and I'll update this review then! 1/30/22 Rode again with a full train at sunset in the back, and holy fuck what an insane ride. The speakers were going this time as well, though unfortunately the flamethrowers were not on. I wish this ride was just a little smoother, it's age is definitely felt with some of the rocking that the seats do.

Launch Fun Layout Théma

1/14/22 - I was super impressed with this ride! I wasn't expecting it too be anything too special based on what I've read, but the dueling is truly great and it's just pure fun the whole way! I'm not someone who considers G's and airtime and all that stuff, just pure fun, so maybe that's why I rate it higher than most. Either way I can't wait to ride this one again and experience those great dueling elements again, as well as the hilariously terrible cameo by Ryan Friedlinghaus. 1/31/22 - with a bit of the novelty wearing off, and recently off the superior launches of Full Throttle, I'm knocking this one down a bit - still a great duel with some truly insane elements.

Inversions Vibrations Inconfort

I didn't know much about this one on first ride, because it's definitely not one of the best known coasters at the park, and I wasn't expecting 7 straight inversions! It all rattles quite a bit, which ruins what should be a pretty crazy layout, but I get it - this thing is over 30 years old now. I won't be riding this one a lot, but I can't really hate it as a lot of others seem to.

Théma Situation Vitesse Vibrations Inconfort

(Same review for both sides - I prefer the left side ever so slightly but they're essentially the same) Classic ride with some of the best theming you'll ever see. I wish they would fix the rattling and jerkiness issues sometime - this coaster is from the 50s! I love the brand new yeti animatronics and the super dark portions. Overall though, very fun and breathtaking, with great environmental storytelling, though it's my least favorite of the major coasters in Disneyland resort.

Situation Trop court Déception !

Very mediocre ride, it's pretty short and the first half is lame. Second half has some nice speed to it, however the first half is super slow going around the first helix. Location is obviously great, but still not a great ride.
