Woody's Coaster

Funland seems to have made a habit of inheriting hand me downs from Drayton Manor. There's the Klondike Gold Mine, plus quite a few kids rides, including this coaster are from Drayton Manor's old kids area, that was replaced with Thomas Land. When I saw some online photos I wasn't that impressed as it looked rather shabby. Since then though the ride has been given a makeover with a new paintjob, so it now looks pretty good.

Sadly though it's not that great to ride. Even for a kids coaster it's on the tame side. It has some OK drops, but it slows down to much in between these, meaning there's no feel of flow during the ride.
 

This would be forgivable on a ride intended for kids. What really sinks the ride is how rough it is. Before riding this I wouldn't have believed a kiddie coaster could be badly torpedoed by excessive roughness, but here it's happened. It's so rough that even the low kiddie coaster thrills are ruined, as it takes away even the small sensation of speed you'd get from this layout. If you don't have kids there's no real reason to ride this, and even if you've got kids along with a great kiddie coaster in the form of Woody's Coaster at the park there isn't even much reason to do this one then.
