Achterbahn Rezensionen

Komfort Meisterwerk Intensität

J’en avais tellement entendu parler que j’avais presque peur d’être déçu. Déjà en voyant la bête de l’extérieur tu es impressionné. Mais une fois dedans quel pied ultime ! J’ai eu la chance de le faire 4 fois, une fois à chaque  «rangée » l’expérience est chaque fois différente ! La musique embarquée apporte un plus et te fait vivre un instant intense, mais de pur bonheur. Au 4eme ride, les bras levés tout le long, la bête est domptée mais tu n’as quand même qu’une seule envie y retourner encore et encore ! Merci !

A school trip staple. Rode this over and over throughout the 1990's, rough as old boots but packs a decent punch. Super-long trains mean that there is air to be had especially in the back too. I am sure I still have a scar from clobbering a tree on the 2nd big drop into the woods. Second half has crazy violent laterals, and a crawl back to the station. So much so a tractor in is kept in reserve to tow it back in the lift if the ride valleys. The ultimate is currently SBNO, it's time might be done in fact. Replacing it would make so much more sense than trying to reinstate it for the cost involved.

Superb, modern wooden coaster well worth taking the trip to see. Proper length, smooth, forceful, air and lots of laterals. Tayto deserve to do well off the back of this.

Gravity group retracking has helped keep this ride smooth and some nice airtime even. Overshadowed by adjacent rides, but is relevant in KIs lineup as an intermediate step between kiddie and hypercoasters. It's important that this scale of ride is available to offer a progression up the scale - and that it is fun in the process. Racer manages both requirements.

Standort Layout

I really loved Air when it first opened; despite it's many, many reliability issues and much documented lack of force! I would associate what it does mostly with those long Japanese coasters that trundle around at speed but not doing an awful lot. Air definitely is not long, nor does it do a lot either. Despite this I did declare it to have one of the greatest half-rolls ever; a reference to the dive into the cut-and-cover tunnel proximity effect. Air was a demo of what a flyer could do; without actually doing it. It also attempted to widen Alton Towers audience; rather than selling the "terror" they opted to try and sell it as a come-fly-with-us mentality. Fun, rather than machismo. Not a move many follow but one I can appreciate. The relative tameness of the ride has, in the long run, I think proved to the low ratings it now sees and maybe also the decision to VR the thing... Which I haven't tried yet. No rush. (I can do VR at home - why on earth would I go to a theme park to try it... The whole point in going to a park is do do something REAL!)

Funky water splash ride that happens to run on rails therefore counts as a coaster. Absolutely minimal restraints are a fun novelty. Doesnt splash much water into the boat - and would in fact be an ideal ride for colder climates!

Inversionen Rückhaltebügel

I really wanted to like like this more than I did. I'm 5'10", so not exactly 'above average' height. The trains are just a bit cramped, meaning my ankles folded slightly sideways = ouch as soon as any positive G kicks in. The layout is solid with good inversions, hang and airtime but I didn't get on with the seating position. Shame. Not in a rush to try other single rails.

Fast, mostly family coaster with some odd pops of airtime and a forgettable loop. Fun theming. Has absolutely colossal capacity what with at least 4 major blocks within the ride. Just what the doctor ordered. Pretty please can we have a couple more major coasters in the California Adventure?

Brilliant! Could have opened yesterday. Makes good use of the terrain; and builds speed throughout the ride. Interaction with Yukon Striker is a healthy bonus. I think this is my favourite of the Arrow suspendeds, and unfortunately, I have now been on all the surviving examples of the format.

Spaß Meisterwerk Ejectors

Makes a mockery of absolutely everything I have tried before; an easy steal for my number 1 spot. Could not get enough of this. I can see why some might find an RMC too much, but for me this was perfection. Moar please!
