Achterbahn Rezensionen

Spaß Unangenehm

Malgré ses décors qui commencent à faire peur, le coaster reste fun à rider malgré l'inconfort.

Airtimes Nette Überraschung! Meisterwerk Zuverlässigkeit

Une tuerie, rien à dire de plus. Un condensé d'airtimes, des éjectors, un parcours nerveux, que demander de plus ?

Nette Überraschung! Spaß Sanftheit Zu kurz

Un bon petit Wooden bien sympathique ! La first drop est vraiment sympa et les quelques virages serrés sont bien intenses pour un petit Wooden. Loin derrière Troy ou Wodan mais clairement devant des Joris ou Loup-Garou.

Abschuss Intensität Rütteln Rückhaltebügel

Installé au dernier rang on s’est pris des baffes tout le long du ride. C’est un coaster assez intense mais il fait vraiment mal, impossible de le refaire on a préféré retourné direct sur RTH beaucoup plus agréable. Il devait être la star du parc avant mais maintenant il a pris un petit coup de vieux !

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.

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!
