Trip Report: Thorpe Park - 24th, 26th and 28th August 2015

Re: Trip Report: Thorpe Park - 24th, 26th and 28th August 20

Swarm is good, worthy of a reride or two during a visit but whoring it never crossed my mind. That's for good rides like Skyrush and Boulder Dash.

But I'm more interested in what you said here:

Really? Rita better than Stealth? Rita (which tbh isn't much longer than Stealth) just rattles it's way around the track and maybe has two good moments. Stealth may be shorter but it packs a lot of good stuff into a quick ride. I'd rather ride a shorter ride that features a lot of good elements, like Skyrush, than a longer ride with only a couple good elements. Skyrush is like 30 sec lift hill to brake run and I'll gladly wait 30+ min for that. Certainly not a waste of time.

I actually agree, I prefer Rita to Stealth. I find the launch more enjoyable (no idea why..) and the whole thing just feels faster somehow. Not a very scientific explanation I know.

Stealth is excellent.

Rita's dreadful.

Thanks for reading.

Rita is amazing, third best coaster in the UK behind Ultimate and Oblivion.

And we all know I'm always right.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not?

Stealth is much better imo, it may be short but it still has one more element of interest than Rita does.
As for the report, it seems like a very interesting and varied trip to Thorpe has been had.
