Probably the best roller coaster I've even experienced, coming for a roller coaster geek! I loved all 14 inversions, and I didn't get the slightest bit dizzy! I would've gone again if it didn't close for the firework spectacular, but that show was beautiful too so it's fine :) I'll be back in a few years, and I bet it'll still be as amazing!

Easily the best rollercoaster on the park. Just sheer craziness. Straight out the box you go through a corkscrew and it doesn’t let up for nearly 3 minutes. The vertical climb is just wild. Honestly couldn’t walk in a straight line for about half an hour after I got off I’m sure it gave me a small aneurism. Worth it though.I had the gold fast-track tickets. Went to the single rider queue as my son papped it. Straight to the front of the queue literally no waiting. Brilliant

Loved it! Best ride in the park. Overall, it is smooth and comfortable, given that it turns you upsode down several times. We opted for the single riders queue as the wait was around 75 minutes. We got on in about 25 minutes.

The whole day seemed to start off bad as when we arrived, we found out Smiler" and "Nemesis" were out of action. We queued 1 hour for Rita and upon reaching the very front of the queue (literally the next customers to ride it) were were told there were technical difficulties and that we could stay and wait if we'd like to and they'd give us updates. Obviously

Finally braved the smiler and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I liked the ride itself the only thing I don’t like is how much I bang my head from side to side on the bars, gives me such a bad headache!

Wicked! First time riding this but BE PREPARED TO STAY IN THE QUEUE FOR 2 HOURS. I'd recommend queueing for this ride soon as you get in, (even though you may still be waiting over 1 hour) as it's so popular and has 14 hoops in 4 minutes. Such a good ride for the adrenaline junkies. I know the whole purpose is for the buzz feeling but close your eyes if you don't really like heights, it helps lol. Also, I would rather purchase queue jump tickets because by the time you are waiting 2 plus hours for the rides you only ride on max 5 or 6. I missed out on 3 so next time will be purchasing queue jump.

Very well themed ride, the music is amazing, the elements of this ride are very thrilling and enjoyable. The queue can get long but it’s very worth the wait. One of the best coasters i’ve ever ridden.
