This is the typical Vekoma Corkscrew coaster which many parks used to and still have many copies of. This is one of the earlier versions which can be noticed by the old trains.

The ride goes straight up into the lift which makes that unique Vekoma sound as it climbs slowly up and up. Oh and before I go on I will advise anyone who does not wish to need brain surgery because of extreme head banging try and get the second from back seat on the train. So here we go from the top of the lift and a helix down to the right and up again. Then down a moderately steep drop which is great for first timers we go up and then helix down to the right. Up into the you guessed it double corkscrew element. Which is in fact the smoothest part of the ride. Then out of that straight round to the right and into theese stupid brakes into a right 360 degrees helix up underneath the lift round a corner and into the brakes.

Not a brilliant ride but its ok if the queue is short.

4/10
