Today, myself and others made our way to the park to check out the new area. Here’s just some of my thoughts. Tornado Springs is a lovely area and really adds another dimension to an already great park. It’s must be amongst the best areas I’ve seen in recent years. Storm Chaser is a lovely fun coaster with a very reasonable throughput, Cyclonator is surprisingly thrilling, the drop towers are fun and the tractor ride pleasant. Rest of the area further compliments this. Rest of the park still great and surprisingly busy. The comparison of newer areas to the likes of where Cobra and the Flume are located is remarkable. Hopefully they’ll sort those next. All in all great park to see if you can. And worth the longer drive compared to say Chessington. A few photos.

Paultons was indeed excellent on Sunday. Tornado Springs is a stunning new area and Storm Chaser is an incredible addition to the park. I really like how it's a coaster of two halves, you get the calmer first half with views around the park, then you dive into the helix which is packed full of force before the final few turns throw you around a bit before you reach the brakes. Genuinely, I think it's the best Mack coaster in the country. It left me with a real "wow" feeling when I hit the brake run on every ride, and had me eager to get straight back on. As others had said, it does outclass the other rides in terms of throughput, but it also looks very promising for the park's future. Just a brilliant, delightful area and the very best of UK parks at the moment.

First day back on Saturday for me and my god it was busy! Fastrack sold out and queues for all the coasters were a solid 80-90mins all day. Managed 2 rides on Stealth, 1 on Rapids & Vortex and had to call it a day after a good bit of filming. Never seen the queue for Saw this long!
