TTP Review:

Rocky Express is aimed at families and children. Riders board one of many trains that are all connected to the middle of the ride. The middle motor starts to rotate, and gradually get faster and faster, taking the trains with it. Riders are pushed against the left hand side of the trains due to the forces acting on the body.

Rocky Express is a pleasant ride. It makes good use of a small space, and appeals to a lot of people. It's actually rougher and more intense than it looks, too - which is a bonus. However, it's not the most thrilling of rides, and often lasts too long - causing riders to question when the ride will actually stop. If the queue's short, and you want an easy ride - then give this a go.
