this was my 4th roller coaster and i liked it, scary for the first big drop!!! waited bout 25 mins to get on tho.

This is the very first roller coaster I've been on, and I cannot describe how intimidating it looks as you approach it and see that first drop of 200 and something feet. Got there and thought, what am i doing? Hardly any time to que for the ride, and as my hands were shaking and gripping the bar it started. Going up that first hill for the first time, and the POV of just how high it climbs, I thought my heart would stop. Signs tell you when you reach 50feet, 100, 150, 200feet and I can remember thinking this is it, I wonder what a roller coaster is like. The first drop is amazing...you're pushed back into the seat, feel like your stomache is up in your throat and it takes, quite literally, the breath away. The only part of your body you can feel is your feet, tumbling to the ground does make you feel very slightly quiezy (spelling?) and before you realise your lifted back up for another drop, not as crazy. At this point I was shouting praises. Went on it straight after, but sat at the back...here the first drop is faster and you cannot see when it is coming, so for an extra thrill head to the back. Went on it again at the very front...you see all as you slowly pass the top climb and begin to descend slowly until suddenly...whoosh. Excellent. I went on it four times in total. Don't let the sight put you off, it looks very scary but the first drop is over in seconds, then you can enjoy the speed. Also, the views from the top are amazing, you can see for miles! You will want to ride this again and again

We were at the pleasure beach every day for one week. I have been on coasters in the UK and USA and Disney Paris, and this is the best thrill ride. But first let me say that I think some days they slow it down,maybe when the wind is high, (when its too high, they shut it down )We went on it for the first few days and it was awesome, even after the first drop, but later on in the week, our rides seemed a lot slower, and we felt the G- force wasn't pushing us into our seats, on the corners. Beware High winds are normal on the coast, so the ride is often out of service

I'm surprised that people say this is the best ride ever as I don't think it's even the best one at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The Climb to the top IS awesome. When you are at the top the first drop looks terrifying......once thats been done though the rest is all fairly average.

As an overall ride I'd rate two of the wooden coasters as better, The Grand National and The Big Dipper.

The Big One is a good ride.....but it's overhyped.
