    Inversions Chef d'oeuvre Fluidité Trop court

    Wish it could have gone on longer. It's an extremely smooth ride and I couldn't help but ride it every time we entered Islands of Adventure. Iconic.

    Bonne suprise ! Fun Longueur Launch

    Great ride. Love the final drop before the station, but can't help but feel that the launch was one of the most underwhelming of them all.

    Fun Chef d'oeuvre Baffes Inconfort Fiabilité

    Went on it again this year (have been visiting Chessington almost annually since I was pretty much a baby) and I had to notice that this ride is aging rapidly, especially the paint job and reliability. Headbanging is an extreme problem, but the good thing about the ride is that you get some good swinging, especially in the final tunnel. Just wish it could be closed for a year-long refurb with new trains (that still swing), a new colour, and theming restores to make it feel brand new. The ride is one of my favourites in the world but it's nowhere near as reliable as it was say 10 years ago. I went on it about 6 times during this trip (3 day 1, 3 day 2) and the last time I went on it we were sitting in the pre-station break run for about 15 minutes and then had to have our restraints manually opened with an allen key... not the greatest...

    Inversions Layout Vibrations Baffes Inconfort

    I went on this a few years ago with my dad to see how it was for my mum, who has neck issues and came out with splitting migraines and aching necks. The layout and the amount of inversions are great but it looks grim due to it not being painted for about 20 years and the constant headbanging. It's incredibly uncomfortable and rough. I would definitely go on this again and rate it higher but only if it was to be entirely retracked at once, not some ''off season partial retracking'' like they've been doing.
