Nice launch and first turn but after that the ride becomes a bit boring and way too short.

Has to be one of the best rides in the UK. A fantastic launch, great first drop and a great fall away turn, all topped off with the motorbike theme and seating. Outstanding and worth the trip to Yorkshire all on its own

The launch hurt my back a bit and the two big things that go across your chest and your back are a bit uncofterble. My mum said that she hurt her back too. On the phto we keped of it it looked like she was gonna say the sh word! But i looked the stupidist cos my face was curled up into an 'O' shape and my cheeks were bing pulled back! Although there is a few rough spots I still rate it a nine! lol

I found it surprisingly enjoyable. Gets an 8 for me although it would be a high 8. Only the first turn was really the uncomfortable part but I really enjoyed it.

I went with my school to Flamingo land. And I waited in a 1 hour que for it. The launch was really good but after the first hill it got a bit boring.

I didn't think much of this ride to be honest. It was quite rough, painful to the privates and just a bit crappy. The launch was better than I expected, but still nothing on Rita.

I love this ride! It's so annoying trying to get at the front though, there's always two more people infront of you. The back's fun too though!

A fun launch and the force at the bottom of that first hill is insane, however I find the rest of the layout slightly uninspiring, but what can you do with a coaster of this style?

This is a good ride. The restraints are fairly comfortable, the launch is not too forceful and the whole action area is quite fun. Easily the smoothest ride in the park and give some airtime on the firts hill. Worth a go (although it develops long queues) and is suitable for younger kids. a good introduction to 'big' coasters.

A very smooth and very unique ride. I very much enjoyed this however, it can be a little uncomfortable in you have a large body size.

All I can say is don't go on this ride if you ever want to have children. Ouch.

I think this ride is great(if a little short) and is incredibly smoothe.

this is for all of you who complaines about the week launch! i am pretty sure that vekoma could have build a quicker launch if they wanted, but if they would have don that, i am pretty sure that people would begin to break their's nek. because you have nothing behind your neck!

Velocity is a launch. Immediately that gives it a good start for me and the lauch definately doesn't disappoint. The layout is also better than some. Unfortunately, if the ride-op decides the restraints could be tighter, you will be in for an uncomfortable ride.

This ride is great, little theming but provides a great experience with the different style trains. The feeling I got on the launch lasted throughout the launch, which was very enjoyable.

It's a great ride seemed to have got much better since that last ride. And yes it may be slower than Rita. If you see it this way: Going in a car at 70 mph and going a moter bike at 60mph its a much different and fragile experience, better than rita. I love the feel whene you put your arms up on the launch esecialy with those seats.

I still love Velocity to this day. Even after god knows how many rides the launch still gets me unlike the Intamin coasters and the floater airtime over the hills is awesome. Still smooth as the day it opened and well worth a 10 from me.

Well, throughly enjoyed this ride. Although the launch may look timid by comparison, it really does feel faster than it looks. The bike seating, if not too tight, can easily add to the ride experience ten fold. the only rough part was the first corner, as it is taken under high speed and is quite heavily banked for a ride with such seats. The small pop of airtime i experienced at the end was a bonus.

this ride is very different to Rita. Although the launch is not as forceful, the ride layout makes it MUCH more fun. Expect 40 minute queues on quiet days.

I lwft this ride feeling slightly dissapointed. Although the style of ride is a great addition to the park and it does give you a unique ride I felt there was someting missing. As they are advertising the ride as 0 - 100kmph in 2.8 seconds (which it is not!) I expected more from the launch (which I found rather slow and dull compared to other launch coasters I have ridden.) However the ride did get better as the position of seating gives an interesting ride after the launch.
