    I went on this ride once and never again. It shook really badly, was bumpy and I ended up hitting my head and smashing my ear on a turn. That being said this is the only ride that wasn't the best experience, the others were really fun and a lot less shaky and painfull!

    My head has been hurting since Tuesday and it's Saturday now. I had to ring 111 as I now have minor concussion. It was like fighting was Mike Tyson. Never going on it again. The staff were amazing as my hat came flying off. Newbie

    For a pier ride, this is insane. It’s much faster than it looks, and the loop is awesome. There are a lot of reviews stating their neck broke because it’s so rough, but it’s really not that bad. Best seat on this for speed is the very back I’ve found. This isn’t Thorpe Park. This is a pier. Get over yourselves :/

    To the people saying this was jerky and aggressive and made their little head hurt.. have you ever been on a rollercoaster before? Do you know the experience a rollercoaster is designed to give? Next they’ll be saying people kept driving into them on the dodgems and now their little toe hurts. I personally love Turbo. I went on it for the first time and immediately went and queued up again for a second ride. I live in Brighton and this is definitely gonna be a frequent visit for me.

    This is a little icon such a vintage little swing box - For such a small and a short ride, it has quite a surprising punch and speed. It definitely delivers a good thrill. Make sure you protect your head and neck, as the speed and sharp angles might move you about a lot. Might need a chiropractor after but sure look, it’s good fun. Been here a few years back and remember all these rides. Reminded me of the Santa Monica pier in LA California. Great little place to visit and great little place to thrill seek. Nothing opens when it rains so if you’re hoping to jump on when it’s damp not a chance.

    we queued for 20 minutes to get to the turbo roller coaster to find out we needed tickets. Then they told us to put the bags in lockers that work with a padlock and no coins. The ride is not indicated at all and leaving your bags absolutely exposed to be robbed is just absurd. For one loop of 5 pounds you would expect better service. I hope you can amend the ticked information and lockers situation. Thanks. Paula

    Located on pier. Nice area with limited instruments that in my opinion the best of them is "Air Race". As mentioned on the web page : "Race through the skies on this thrilling motion ride which guarantees to send your pulse racing". When ride please watch your accessories like shoes, hat,....

    My sister’s first upside down rollercoaster. Well, it can only get better from here. It’s as rough as it looks. I knew it was going to be painful just from looking at the tracks and how much the carriages rattled. Do not go on, unless you’re in the mood for a headache.

    Enjoyed the rollercoaster, however I was unhappy with leaving my belongings in the lockers as they only had turning locks, half of which didnt work anyway and it would be easy for anyone to come up and take peoples belongings if they wanted to. Had the lockers been properly manned with security and had padlocks/keys it would be better and safer.

    A good experience, that was. I was displaying the V for Victory on the ride. That's something I do on roller coasters these days. I can handle G forces and inversions, because I was in the CCF (RAF section) while at school. I did Air Experience Flying, which included aerobatics. People talk about this ride being painful, but I went on it and it was not painful at all. Quite an old ride, this is. I remember seeing it in action as a little kid. I would've been too short to go on it back then, but I'm much taller now. And now I've actually been on it myself!

    Turbo is a great ride, but it can be a little bumpy but not enough to make me have a headache. I do understand why is not even close to people's top ten coaster list but its still a really good ride.

    Worst coaster ever. £5 for a 30-60 second ride. Your head is bashed about so much, side to side, into the hard headrest, our ears were red and sore. I wouldn’t go on this again if free 🤬

    It was all a life experience. Unfortunately a negative one. The railway would not make it through the TÜV. The safety bars are very loose and everything jerks when it starts. Plus you don't have that rollercoaster feeling. There is no recommendation for this train.

    The ride was over after like 20 seconds and it was very painful and throws you around I had multiple bruises for a few days after ward. Don’t recommend this ride

  • 3/5 The South East L. 1 year ago on Google • 22 reviews
    I went on this ride whilst on my recent 4 day break 19th - 22nd Aug 2022. I found to hurt a bit when moving side to side and I hurt a bit when I got off. I am surprised it was very jerky given it's a small rollercoaster, I have been on many with no issues. It was still fun and thrill seeking though. Will definitely wake you up.

    Pretty outdated roller coaster that wouldn't pass the TÜV in Germany and would be shut down. That's the only thing that gives you a thrill. In itself, the whole “hype” is worth seeing, but it is completely overpriced. You are also not allowed to look down. The planks of the pier also have their best days behind them. ;)

  • 3/5 William K. 11 months ago on Google
    Very jittery and unstable. Hit my head against the head rest. Ride was ok though.

    Hit my head a couple times while on the coster, that being said, not bad.
