ALWAYS long, boring ques even in rather quiet times. Also the last couple of times i've been waiting to go on it has broken down. Quite a good ride but not half as good as the Big Dipper or the Pepsi Max. - Bekka Jones

Awful queueing area, it is horribly cramped and very claustrophobic! Almost in a sickening way! But what of the ride itself? Is it good? Yes, in my opinion it is quite a decent little ride, i have ridden much worse (Irn-Bru and Corkscrew). However, only go on it if there is no queue, don't bother queueing up for more than 15 mins for it. It's good, but hardly memorable. 6/10 - jack briggs

This is basically a sub-par Space Mountain rip-off that is beneath the creative standards of BPB. Perhaps with some serious re-theming and a complete overhaul of the track and the cars they might actually have something there. (And I did go on it after its upgrade to 'Space Invader 2'.) But, as it is, I find the ride tackily, unimaginatively themed, and a cramped, uncomfortably rough riding experience. The best part of Space Invader is the goofily retro sci-fi show building which looks like a weird cross between a Play Dough mountain and an alien wedding cake! Try again, guys! - Paul Clemens

Well let me put it this way, myt friends and i waited for about 45-60 mins in a cramped warm clostrofobic tunnel, it was awful, and we got to the ride thinkin yes this is guna be gd as we hav queued for ages. BUT NO, it was rubbish, it was slow, no big drops, and the corners were lame! Complete waste of time! - Ben Dore
