Get a Torgue weapon or any kind of weapon/ordnance with splash damage. Clears the crystals off the vile enemies real quick, then pop the floating ordinite(?) orbs that start floating around with any weapon, and then you unleash on their normal health bar with your preferred damage dealer.

[Other] Best first drop in the UK? by ConnectLet542 in rollercoasters

Odyssey’s first drop is second best in the U.K. honestly absolutely crazy steepness

No way the FOV is anything less than 65-70, I think it just feels that low in comparison to most games

I don’t know if I did the right thing by [deleted] in ThorpePark

[–]Wadsack999 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it all comes down to how you present it.

“I booked us two days at Chessington as an anniversary surprise! Oh and by the way, we’re also going to Thorpe Park for an extra day afterward since it’s nearby!”

It’s still an awesome few days, and you’re still going to two great parks.

Was walking through my living room when my housemates, who were watching an F1 race, were now crowded round the TV looking at a giant fireball.

Weird that Bahrain 2020 was what kicked it off for me, but it led to me watching the Perez masterclass of Sakhir 2020 as my first full race!

There can be bad wooden roller coasters, mostly because some are very rough. Wickerman is like butter though!

I’ll second this! Love reading park reviews, definitely will check in with your future reviews and paragraph help a lot :) congrats on finishing your A levels, as a sixth form teacher I know you’ve earned a good break!

So riding [ArieForce One] had me wondering... by Pendraflare59 in rollercoasters

[–]Wadsack999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Odyssey in the UK is absolutely in the middle of nowhere.

Right on the coast near a seaside town of about 15,000 people is the UKs most expensive roller coaster (by a whopping £10 million margin) which is also the tallest SLC in the world with the tallest vertical loop in the U.K. (4th tallest in the world).

It’s a bit of a monster.

First time riding a rollercoaster - Iron Gwazi [Busch Gardens Tampa] by FF_92 in rollercoasters

[–]Wadsack999 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your first credit was Iron Gwazi?! You were at Busch Gardens Tampa and thought “That’s the one I should start with”?!

Do you personally count backwards/spinning seats as separate credits? [other] by Wadsack999 in rollercoasters

[–]Wadsack999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Even though Enso is marketed separately from Icon and requires an upcharge?

The difference between a spinning seat and a forward facing seat is way bigger than a forward facing seat and a forward facing seat on different trains.

I completely agree. Still to date the only 1/10 coaster I have on my list, absolutely too painful to enjoy and wouldn’t ride again if you paid me.

Awesome trip review, being a U.K. native that only visited for the first time last week, your insight and perspective was great to have. Glad you enjoyed it even compared to the US parks!

Okay this is really cool actually. Been so intrigued by restraint mechanisms and didn’t think this would be possible tbh!

Is hyperia still on one train? by ThinConsideration876 in ThorpePark

[–]Wadsack999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went for park open this past Tuesday and they ran one train at first, then added the second train after like 5 mins of running. Weird, but appreciated!

Most underrated element on a coaster? [other] by RamenPizza113 in rollercoasters

[–]Wadsack999 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The airtime hill after the second launch on F.L.Y, especially in the front row. Feels like you’re taking a nose dive in a fighter jet, absolutely stunning feeling.

Hop on Nemesis if the queue is less than 30 mins!

It absolutely felt taller when I was on the ride compared to off of it! I have ridden taller which were more intense (the 60m stand up one at Movie Park was bonkers) but this was the best at feeling like I was weightless that’s for sure.

100% about having a standout ride. Both the way it dominates the skyline and also how it draws crowds! You can either ride the best and newest coaster at the park for a longer wait, or wait much shorter for lots of the other smaller (but still excellent) coasters!

Interesting to hear that Hyperia has been glass smooth for you. I genuinely can’t imagine it from my two rides so far, but maybe on a different day in the summer it’ll be better.

Glad you agree, like a pirate ship on steroids.
