    This is a ride I did find worth the wait, the lines were short and the ride was amazing. I honestly found every moment so much fun. The first few turns really do put you on edge!

    Best ride in the park, by far. Not only is the ride amazingly fun, but the "set pieces" they built around it - upturned lorries, crashed airplanes, a helicopter - are absolutely brilliant!

    Brilliant! I love Colossus and Nemesis and this new ride is up there with them both. Fast and well designed. And the queue is very clever. We did it twice and left/right make no difference. Both great

    By far the best ride in the park, if you have a choice the left side is by far better, the near misses are closer and the inclined loop is a lt more forceful.

    Personal favourite ride of the park, would definitely recommend a fast track ticket for it.

    PRO TIP: front right or back left. Anywhere else and I don't know why you're here.

    Steel wing coaster, ruined post apocalyptic theme, has great 'flying' sensation and a few good head chopper moments

    2nd Best Ride. Very smoothe. Of course Saw still takes it at the best ride ! You cannot come to Thorpe Park and not go on this ride.

    Definitely worth doing! It's a short ride but the half-loop and drop at the beginning is brilliant!

    For front row, you will be handed a front row card. Which you handed in when boarding. Then head to gate one.

    It would have been a more enjoyable experience if they didn't have that fake news broadcast running on a loop. Gets annoying after your 60th minute in line.
