I love this coaster so much; it in my opinion is the most underrated coaster in the UK if not Europe. I rode it 15 times yesterday and yes I got knocked around a hell of a lot closer to the end of the day but who hasn?t been thrown around on a coaster before? Not the entire second half is rough. I think it?s the 5th turn through the forest after the second drop is as smooth as a babies ass. Not many first timers expect the tunnels at the end, and flying round the corner into the first one is intense.

So, I think it definately looks like the better coaster of its type around, no doubt about it. The first drop looks fabulous for sure, but you can't help but notice the reviews about it being a headbanger, and that type of coaster doesn't have the best reputation to begin with.
Its more of a knee banger than a head banger. Lol

I really wanted to love The Ultimate but I absolutely hated it when I rode last October. Didn't feel any air time and I really got thrown about quite a bit, actually the only coaster that I've found rougher than The Ultimate is Tornado at M&Ds. I just don't think the coaster has enough redeeming qualities to consider this an amazing coaster
The only reason you didn?t feel any air time is ?cause you where concentrating too much on how rough it was, sitting at the back of the train going over the drops flings you out of the seats up against the lap bars. The two little bunny hops after the turns in the forest give brilliant air time when you?re not worrying about getting hurt.
The only thing I think can improve this coaster is moving the restraints, keep lapbars but move where they are.

You can see in this photo where abouts the lap bars are and the black casing gives me my bumps and bruises, having them attached to the floor rather than the front of the carriage would improve this ride a great deal.
So I think it is the best ride in the UK.
What I just posted in a topic, I typed it in word then posted it.
