I would be lying if I said I was hugely excited for the Euro-Fighter itself. It was absolutely not my personal first choice for the park, and while I’m willing to be proven wrong, I do wonder whether Paultons could have chosen something better even within their target audience and budget range. I’m disappointed that they succumbed to the orthodoxy on OTSRs given that they’re such a forward-thinking and disruptive park in other ways and rides like The Wave, Icon and Hyperia prove that the UK public will go for lap bars on a looping roller coaster.
Euro-Fighters as a model are a good 15 years behind the curve in major parks and ones that have been building them more recently are smaller parks than Paultons. With Paultons evidently wanting to enter the UK big leagues and progress, I was perhaps hoping to see something a bit more ambitious.
However, the overall land does look very good so far, and I have every faith that Paultons will continue their record of making very detailed and well finished off lands based on what we’ve seen so far. It is lovely to see this slightly barren area of the park finally get its themed glow up!
