Not very impressed by this ride. The atmosphere waiting to board the swing is good and quite chilling, although the story of the hex is a bit silly and not very imaginitive. Once inside the room you take a seat on a bench, the bench then swings backwards and forwards and creates the illusion that you go upside down. The choice of music is weird and not at all scary and the ride is basically a big swing inside a castle. OK but could have been better and wasn't what I was expecting. - Emily G

I think this ride is fantastic. Hex delves into a special bit of history concerning the Towers, and brings it to life. I can't think of a better tribute to the beautiful building and a strange little bit of folk lore that surrounds one of it's occupants. If you like a great atmospheric ride, spine tingling music, and a 'tale with a twist', you will love it. - carla bull

I'v been on this ride on many occasons and i don't think much of it TBH. - Lauren Ottewell
