Something I often say to people when talking about this rollercoaster is the fact I love it but also hate it. I feel there are so many of you guys potentially reading this feeling the exact same way. Therefore I\u2019m going to explain exactly my love & hate for this coaster. Let me know if you also feel the same way?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hate: <\/span><\/h1>\n

I\u2019ll start with the negatives. One of which is the traumatic journey from the entrance to the station. The steps have these gaps in between them and it makes me anxious. I\u2019m someone who has to look at where they are walking to feel comfortable. So when I\u2019m looking down and seeing these horrific gaps my legs begin to get a little wobbly. The height is something else I\u2019m not a fan of. Of course, it\u2019s not the tallest ride in the UK or at Blackpool. But when there are steps which aren\u2019t indoors it\u2019s hard to not notice it.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

The station isn\u2019t enclosed. When you wait in that station on a windy day it\u2019s genuinely terrifying. There\u2019s nothing okay about it. The way it wobbles when the train comes or leaves makes me want to cry. There\u2019s nothing worst than waiting in this station. If I see anyone with their phone over the side of the station it makes my anxiety so much worst. I can\u2019t begin to explain how tightly I hold onto the bannisters when I\u2019m waiting. My legs go to pure jelly whenever I have to wait the tiniest amount of time in that station.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Love:<\/span><\/h1>\n

The coaster experience is simple and short but really does pack a punch. It\u2019s so intense and the sensation which feels your gut is something else. It has to be one of the most intense rollercoasters we have in the UK. That first drop down into the loop, honestly I leave my gut at the station. It feels incredibly steep and as if you’re going a long way down. It always takes me by surprise and often feels as if it sneaks up on you. It\u2019s one of the only UK rollercoasters left that still scares me & that\u2019s a huge factor to why I love it.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you love or hate Revolution? Let us know!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
