What does Danni Coaster say...
It’s a crazy ride! It all starts in the queue. The theming reflects the insanity aspect of the ride. Can we even say that any more?! Well, I just did!
Nowhere else are staff members dressed up like the actual ride. The colour schemes on these mascots reflect an odd scenario, as if the characters from A Clockwork Orange had a baby with either a bee or someone who helps children cross the road!
I think you honestly need to see it to believe it! Then ride the ride, reflect and do it all again!
Behind the scenes...
Do we talk about ‘that crash’? No, that’s like talking about Harry Potter’s Voldemort! We do not speak its’ name! A bit like, don’t ever say ‘good luck’ to a person that is about to go on stage!
