    Nette Überraschung! Spaß Rütteln

    I hadn't ridden it before the retrack, but it must have improved this coaster a lot, as my first ride on the very last row was pretty smooth. However, for some strange reason, my ride at the very front was way more rattly (anyway, it was easily bearable). Aren't roller coasters expected to be rougher at the back? Still, the ride was fun, and a nice surprise as well: I didn't know that RCCA could build decend coasters. My previous experiences with this manufacturer were... not optimal. At the back, the drop is quite enjoyable, and the ride has some weak floater throughout the layout. The turnarounds are too slow, but at least that way you rest from the rattle. Overall a fun woodie; not the worst, not the best (by far).

    Thematisierung Nette Überraschung!

    I didn't know much about this ride, and expectations were neutral, so it was a great surprise. It's very unpredictable. The queue is great, it builds up an awesome atmosphere. I was there on an extremely quiet day, so the longest I waited was less than 10 minutes. Maybe it's because of that, but the capacity didn't seem that bad. With an unloading station and many trains, lines moved at decent pace. The coaster itself is a bit weak, but the ride makes a wonderful use of the lighting and darkness to create an awesome experience. Avoid watching onrides to escape the spoilers. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************SPOILER__________SPOILER_____ _____SPOILER__________SPOILER***********************************************************************************************************************************************Best parts for me are when you "go out" into the forest, really seems you are outside at night; the acceleration at the end of the second lift, which is a nice surprise; and the unexpected sharp turns with huge laterals into the complete darkness, when you don't see a thing and then suddenly are thrown out of your seat by those laterals. They scared me the first time, totally unprepared.

    Thematisierung Nette Überraschung! Meisterwerk

    I loved it! The queue is nice, with many references to other rides at the park, and it all looks great from the outside. Perfect adition to the park. It's not a thrill ride, but it's awesome. The intensity is very low; however, it goes pretty fast, and the launches are powerful for a family ride. I expected more like a dark ride with coaster sections, more similar to Arthur at EP, but this was actually a coaster with tiny dark ride sections, and great theming and storyline throughout. The density of the theming is generally low, yet it seems a lot due to flying through it quite fast. The soundtrack is another IMAscore hit, I love it. Everything on the ride is perfect. My first ride on it was the best due to the surprise factor, so do not watch any onride to avoid spoilers. Just go into the unknown.

    First Drop Inversionen Standort Unangenehm

    The rides first drop was breathtaking, and the zero-g right after was good. The ride was a little rough and made my head hurt a bit, but you forgot it as you exited the ride. And I think the first part was better than the other half but it’s a must go if you are in Sweden. (I went on a 35 ride marathon, my head will not recover)

    Airtimes Spaß

    Fun wild mouse. Exeeded expectations, my memories of other wild mice are worse. Not as good as Europa-Park's. The airtime on the drop is fun because of the loose lap bar.

    Spaß Thematisierung

    The park was extremely quiet, so they gave us to laps! It was better than expected, decent family ride, and trains are comfy with those lap bars, but it's very ugly. Why is a coaster like this, with a support mesh rather than footers, at a theme park? At least try to hide those "travelling supports" with some theming.

    Just a credit. It proves how some theming really can improve the experience, as its clone at PortAventura (the Tami-Tami) feels like a much better ride. From what I have seen, it looked great with the old rocky theme, so I don't get why it got removed.

    Unangenehm Reißt es ab!

    It's one of the worst coasters I've ridden, and note that I do appreciate decent kiddies, even if they're slow and pointless. The problem with this one is its brutal intensity, perhaps even higher than its bigger brother's, as I think there was a moment of -2 lateral G's (or at least it did feel like something very powerful, perhaps the main problem were the restraints). And the issue I had with those G's is that they were just a milisecond pop, so my whole body flew to the left (or the right, I don't really remember), and immediately it was pushed back again into the car, almost breaking me in half. Moreover, I am pretty sure it didn't keep the safety standards, and I didn't ride hands-up just in case, since the near misses did seem too near, as if measured just for tiny kids. What's more, this coaster feels cheap, as has already been said down here, and it's part of a horribly cheap expansion. The coaster doesn't even have a full station! Come on, man, that's too skinflint! This would perfectly fit in a foire, or mabe even in a second-class amusement park, but it's obviously out of place in one of Europe's best theme park resorts, right under the tallest and fastest coaster in the continent. Riding it just makes me feel shame for what PortAventura is becoming now, and I'm also less willing to visit Energylandia and all its probably dreadful SBF's credits.

    Thematisierung Spaß

    Pretty nice kidde. It's in a really colorful and cheerful area, which I personally love, and the coaster itself is fun, and nicely themed as well. It's not something extraordinary, but It's pleasant, and I like that the queue goes through it and over a lake. I quite appreciated that the supports were themed to look like wooden pillars with cords, it's something simple and really looks better than usual. It's just a kiddie, not intense, just some laterals at some points, but it's good for what it is. By far much better than the newer Red Force Junior; more taking into account it's twenty years older! A worthy credit.

    Thematisierung Unangenehm Reißt es ab! Irrelevant

    I remembered this ride to be just an extremely boring and pointless coaster, but when I rode it last time, I found out how wrong I was. It is pointless, right, and it has a horrible layout in which you spend more time climbing up the lift hills than in the coaster part itself. But it is no boring at all. Unfortunately. There's no time to get bored, as you have to make great efforts not to be smashed. It can be really painful, despite going always incredibly slow, as the track seems to be made of just a hundred of straight pieces. It feels old, and has made me be glad that Arrow doesn't exist anymore. Moreover, the trains, and specially the seats, are appalling, really hard, and although they might seem quite comfortable as you sit for the first time, once you leave the station you feel how the edge of the seat strongly hits your back. I wouldn't want to reride it for a long, long time. The only positive thing I can say about this coaster is the theming, which is really nice around the queue and station, even though the coaster itself looks quite bad, interacting with the also ugly log flume.
