It does really remind me of The Smiler too. I think it looks good, but I think it might take a couple of rides to really enjoy it, like The Smiler does for some people, due to the repetitive, back to back elements. That first launch looks fantastic though - really excited to give this a shot in...

Would that really work with London being so close?.. At least in American parks, New York might be a 15 hour drive away or something.

Oh wow. I rode it one time a couple of years ago but the line took forever and they were either running one train only or maybe two but clearing the blocks and jogging the train up the lift to do so, and it went down pretty soon after I got on it. Going again this year but had already assumed...

Just booked the Monday May Bank holiday. It'll likely be an absolute mess, but super keen to get on Hyperia as soon as I can.

I believe the transfer track and storage shed is off the turntable too, perpendicular to the two main tracks, so it makes sense from a logistical point of view. Also, to state the obvious, it turns the trains in the direction they want them to face for the second part of the layout, whereas a...

Very pleased the opening has finally been confirmed and that it'll be open in plenty of time for my early June trip - they were starting to worry me!

As lot of people said, most overhyped rides kind of fall into this coaster. Maybe slightly controversial, but Nemesis for me is firmly in this category. Having been more familiar with bigger, American inverts, I was always a bit underwhelmed by the relatively short UK counterpart - and I do...

I was really excited for Skyrush before I went to Hersheypark last year, but I found the restraints really painful and couldn't really enjoy it for the most part. I tried a couple of re-rides, but my thighs hurt like mad and I just couldn't do it. The new Intamin restraints are pretty...

It looks fantastic. I'm heading to Europa in early June and desperately hope it's open by then!

In general, a couple of the ride tracks we've seen look quite short, with this and the water shooting ride. I guess the really exciting stuff will be in the dark rides, which we won't see for some time. I do wish this coaster were a bit longer and more exciting looking though.

Steel Vengeance has more airtime and is easier to ride than Eejanaika.

Planning to visit Madrid a little later in the year and thinking I need to check this out. Has anyone got any experience with taking public transport to the city? Seems like it might be a bit of a pain...

Agreed. FLY is definitely the front runner here.

That seems an extreme reaction, and I don't really understand why you feel you need unlimited Fastpasses in the first place. Why not just visit for the day without Fastpass for £30-40pp and see how it goes, if you're already visiting London for other things and this is just an add-on? It's...

I'm disappointed I missed it on my last visit - it re-opened the week after I left after that long refurbishment, which now seems quite an unusual decision. I'm on board for a Zelda attraction as I enjoy the games, but it strikes me as not a particularly popular IP at all, and I really can't...
