The Beast@ Fantasy Island
The Review

7th May And 14 rides later 

Today ExtremeScan took to Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells to see if the almighty Beast lived up to its rep! On entry the Beast didnt look like much, the ride is sunk in to ground below the level of the road which proved so close onboard. I perchased £30 of tokens and set towards the Yellow Beast that lay in front of me. Lucky for me the wait was basicaly non existant! I placed my 4 tokens in the box and walked throught the turnstiles and headed to the welcome seat. The harness was then lowered and the lift began, but before i had chance to enjoy the raised view i was hoisted into a spectacular "Windmill" rolling several metres over the road below, then the ride moved into the forward arc, the first trip round was quite slow and i was thinking where did this ride get the hype from, but then BAM! talk about shift in to over drive, my body was swung face forward and then twisted upside down and literaly thrown over the apex and this was just for starts, i think on every ride i went on that day, there was at least 10-12 forward rotations followed by about 14 more in reverse! As the day progresses, my presence was becomong more known to the staff who controled the Beast, and was frequently asked by some of them how come i wasnt feeling ill. Haha that was quite a laff, after lunch and 11 rides down i returned back on board, and prepared myself for more asault from the mighty monster itself. And 1 ride will always stick in my mind and it was my second from last(the ride of the BLUE MAN),the sensation perfomormed of being launched down fromt the apex to base in a fully inverted position was Sensational, and deffiniatly proved the title of Extreme! After that being flung in all directions in the Ingoldmells sea breeze, proved somewhat disorentating but it was what i was looking for and expecting. All in ALL The Beast..Beware is one amazing ride and i will defo becoming back to face it again. The Beast..Beware! BEWARE INDEED!

Note to Team Beast of that day. thank you for today,all your team have certainly placed the Beast already at a high post, Although it has the Space Roller and Samurai to battle against, i think to be honest, The Beast will chew them up, spit them out and leave them crying to be taken back to Mondial.

Now for the Ratings

Intensity 10/10 Experience9.5/10  Simply because every ride should have been as Extreme as the second from that ride i went on. Throughput10/10 I base this on today but altho i havent seen it on a busy day, the wait between dispatched was at most 3 minutes minimum!

Overall Very stong contender, but how will it face over the seas, and with its brothers in the UK.

Samurai @ Thorpe Park
The Review

XS:Martin takes on the warrior of the lost city

On the 17th of May 2008 the new member on the ExtremeScan team did his first review, on the awesome power and force, The Mondial MartialArts master, The Samurai, So without futher adou, here it is.

On the 17th May, i realised my destiny and stepped up to face my fate with the almighty Samurai, the warrior amongst the rides of the Lost City at Thorpe Park. The Samurai forced to me 2 very diffrent experiences. The first was very fast and frantic and can make you dizzy BUT it is alot of fun sometimes depending on where you sit for instance ,The first battle i took was i was sat on the far outside seat and i was going head over heels every time it moved but next time i was on the inside seat and the ride barley swung at all, or seamed this way anyway but this isnt always the case as i supose it depends on who is operating the ride at the time. Thorpe Park also somtimes runs the Samurai on a preset paterns aswell.While all this looping and swaying is going on,you dont seem to get uncomfortable but you do get a slight dizzyness after the ride has ended depending on how tolerant you are to this type of ride.

Now the ratings

Intensity:9/10

Experience:10/10

Throughput:7/10

All in all the warrior may have been tired from previous battles, but still remains a strong contender! Although it looks like out of the first Battle of the TopScans,Samurai maybe loosing fighting force i have confidence that Samurai will battle through the Space Roller!

But the Great battle of Beast VS Warrior, has not gone down it its favour. If Samurai uses Mondial Martial Arts on the Space Roller it will have a fighting chance.

Its downfall was the frequent brakedowns and slow loading. link ThorpeParks Samurai Ride page
