Yeah the first ride was solid but nothing i would call amazing, but when we went on it just before closing i remember actually remember saying wow that was great, i just couldn't believe how much better it was compared to the first ride a few hours latter, I had a look on the net and found a lot of other people have found that the ride is much better at the end of the day. I also liked the fact that there was no waiting time at all to get on, i live near Thorpe Park which has terrible problems with waiting time imo.
