I still like Thirteen, the trims have always been a pain and the current ones are worse than the first ones, but it's fun. The outdoor section isn't exactly thrilling but what there is of it is enjoyable. Wish it was longer but don't think it'd have been possible with the restrictions they were under. Drop onwards it's great, but the lack of special effects is a let down.
I like that it's not as intense and scary as it looks, I always thought that was the point, and I'm sure John Wardley said the same, the point is it makes children and those who normally don't ride the 1.4 coasters think they've been on a ride that's more intense and scary than it really is to get them to ride the real thrill rides, which surely is one of the points of family rides?
Anyway, it's much better than Corkscrew was so even though it could have been better, it's still an improvement.
