Reviews
Dan: (
) Blade is a disappointing ride that should be better than it is. Sadly, it doesn't go as high as it should but this means that people scared of the other attractions in the Valley may wish to have a go. Well themed, at least.
Michael: (
) Blade is a great ride. When I went on it I won 3 laps of the circuit by playing a game called put your hand up if it's your go.
Phil: () This ride could do with going a little higher however it still gives your stomach a bit of a turn!
