Achterbahn Rezensionen

Perfectly reasonable kiddy coaster for its intended audience and adults can ride alongside no problem. Low capacity is a minor negative.

Intensität

B&Ms always get better once broken in. I'm glad Banshee has broken in - all the reviews and comments themed to "boring and mild" are a chore, to say nothing of completely wrong. This is a well paced and super intense invert. The rolls are a needed break in the otherwise relentless positive G. The exit of the batwing and second loop are almost Schwarzkopf-like sustained. Harness doesn't especially bother me, though sitting on the brakes for extended time might get uncomfortable. During the ride itself, they allow moves other inverts with the standard restraints would simply not work. Especially the first drop, which is super whippy in the back of the train. Fills a hole in Kings Islands lineup very well.

Rückhaltebügel

Amusing wait in the queue with the 'rain' of mobile phones dropping from riders. Which is just as well as this is low capacity and slow loading. Ride itself is a miserable affair apart from the drop off the lift. Restraints more or less jam your head in place and impact is inevitable.

Well themed and punchy launch. Trains are very compact and a bit tricky to get into - bearing in mind I am of average height. Laterals in the first half punch hard. Mid course brakes completely kill momentum. Would actually be better if the main launch was slower, and less braking at half way. Slow queue so is a once-and-done

Pretty typical arrow mine train, with janky transitions and weirdly well themed lift hill at the end. Not a terrible ride for its intended audience but pacing completely off.

Somewhat predictable, mid-sized B&M hyper. Fills a hole in the parks lineup and serves as an excellent entrance set piece. Always fun to ride and infinitely re-ridable. Not going to set the rankings on fire.

Airtimes Standort Dauer

It's tall, it's a B&M, and you know exactly what you are going to get. Lots of long duration airtime hills, notably more than Orion next door. The finale is a spectacle for off ride, but does nothing to the train. Location is perfect, using the hills and woods to extract more than the sum of the mechanical parts. Staff absolutely know what they are doing and left plenty of room for the obscene airtime this generates. Great ride in a great park.

Fun "wooden" coaster that I probably have a controversial opinion on. It was better in the morning BEFORE it had warmed up. It has particularly extreme negative G, which when running fast feels a bit like an 500lb gorilla giving a headlock. The bucking bronco lateral section adds variety, but those trains are not suited to it. Still a 4 and a half star ride despite my negatives for it.

Has not aged or relocated well. Placed out on bare gravel, so a misery to queue for on a hot day. Does not have the intensity that Chang was famed for, awkward to load, rattly and generally just a bad time. Pretty dull while it's at it. My worst rated B&M.

Marmite coaster, it seems. We really liked it. Lots of speed, slightly janky first drop, potent make-you-hold-on airtime. The seating could use some "side" support as the ride does not roll you with the turns. It demands you to ride it rather than just be carried along. Still, very good and different feeling to any other hyper
