Don't read the blurb beforehand so the surprise remains a surprise - not exactly heart attack material but fun nonetheless
This is the perfect coaster , with a great surprise at the end that so many rides miss. Great for the kids as not too intense
If you're willing to separate from your party, use the single rider line . You're on in less than 5 minutes when the queue is an hour!
It's the best ride ever! Going on this ride is a must for any white knuckle ride fan.
Great ride. Worth the queues
Don't wear glasses, trust me
Queues actually move pretty fast on here. Displayed waiting time was 40 but got through in 20. Worth the wait if it's only that long.
Queues move fast on this one, so don't let that put you off!
Do not bother, just about worth satisfying your curiosity via the walk-on single rider queue
Q is long but it moves pretty fast
Just wait for the surprise...
Great ride, shame about the wait. Some funny jokes and things that people have wrote on the fencing!
Ice cream stand halfway along the queue ! #nom
The tunnel is the best part ;)
Not worth queuing for. Save it until the end of the day, especially if you know what happens at the end of the ride.
Long wait but ride is great...
If you're a wimp.. Dont scream.. You will be judged.
Queue for the front! Much better at the front
great ride...best is sat on the back row
Don't bother riding a second time! The effect is nowhere near as good...
Expect the unexpected.. Wicked ride!!!
It's one of those rides that's far better if you're unprepared.
Glorified children's coaster not worth more than a 10 min wait
18 to a train people.
the jokes have all been sanded off.....
No coats please!
Bad. Seriously, don't bother especially with the ridiculous queues .
Not worth the queue .

Na na...niiiiiii!
Awesome hotel make sure to dance in the lifts and have a bit of everything in the restaurant it's all good - Stuart Provan
As others have said, definitely an underestimated ride! Visited Alton Towers many times before and never been on this ride until today but it's definitely worth the wait! (and possible whiplash) - Daniel Ley
Really good ride I think it’s the best so far what an adrenaline rush???????? - Steven Savage
It IS worth watching the TV documentary if you've never done the ride before as it really builds the atmosphere. Anticipation is the key to enjoying this experience to its fullest - Mike Reddy
Great fun ride that my two little ones love. You can ride this from 90cm high so it's a great introduction into thrill rides. There's a nice little positive G feeling at the bottom of the spiral :). - Simon Jeffries
The smiler is amazing, worth a go if you go to Alton Towers! GET CORRECTED! - Alysha Holmes
