I came off of this a little disappointed, a lot of the awkward profiling led to pain or missed forces. The layout from a macro perspective is an all-timer though, and those twin camelbacks are not to be trifled with. I can see why this ride was king back in the day, but now it's just outclassed. I'd love to see a modern take on this layout somewhere with the profiling and forces we've come to expect from new Intamin (and without those awful lap bars!).

Awesome little RMC! I loved the variety of airtime moments, and the stall is just incredible. However, the other inversions I would prefer the ride without, hence "Inversions" as both a pro and a con. Some of the third lap took me out of it and left me bored, while other moments of it yanked me right back in. Amazing first half, mixed bag second half.
What an insane location for a woodie, combined with a ride experience that I can only describe as a cross between Raven's second half and pre-2022 Bea...
What an insane location for a woodie, combined with a ride experience that I can only describe as a cross between Raven's second half and pre-2022 Beast. It's a wild ride experience mostly throughout, just with some odd dead spots and some hills that really should hit harder than they do. Overall, though, it's a crazy unique ride that's worth the hype. Don't miss out on the night ride.

Probably the best ride in Italy, I enjoyed it a lot. There are some strong ejector airtime moments and incredibly snappy transitions that make the ride really intense. The Launch was how you could expect from an Intamin coaster pretty strong. The harness is a little bit annoying because it’s right next to your neck so it can cause some headbanging in the transitions. The first half of the layout is pretty much perfect and masterful, but the second half really has unnecessary dead spots. But I am complaining on a high level so overall it’s in my opinion the second best coaster in Italy, just overtaken by Katun so still a close 10/10

The restraints aren't very nice if you're a bit bigger... There is a big boy seat on row five tho. Other than that, complete package coaster that is all sorts of awesome, from the theming in the area and the queue to the amazing layout. Best B&M Invert I've ridden so far and best coaster at Parc Asterix (yes, it beats Toutatis for me).
Front row, worst experience I ever had on a roller coaster. I can normally appreciate a good old Vekoma looper, even when they are a bit rickety, but ...
Front row, worst experience I ever had on a roller coaster. I can normally appreciate a good old Vekoma looper, even when they are a bit rickety, but this one was just pure torture. Maybe it was extra uncomfortable because it was really hot when I rode it (31 degrees Celcius) and maybe I'm just a bit too tall and fat to fit the restraints, but man... This was not a roller coaster ride, this was a chiropractor session gone horribly wrong. The much talked about head rest was halfway down my shoulders en nowhere near my neck. I get that some people might be nostalgic about this monstrosity and it looks really good off-ride... but this needs either a full retrack like Efteling did, some proper new trains or it needs to go. Got the cred, will never ride again.
Mediocre at best. Without the special effects this ride has very little special about it, but Ive never experienced it with special effects. The launc...
Mediocre at best. Without the special effects this ride has very little special about it, but Ive never experienced it with special effects. The launch is mid, and it does have the helix sequence but I do not enjoy helices as an element. I'm vocal on coasters, but with this one I just sit quietly until the ride is over.
I was a bit hesitant to ride this coaster because of the bad rep it has got since the re-imagining. I never rode the original so I can't compare, but ...
I was a bit hesitant to ride this coaster because of the bad rep it has got since the re-imagining. I never rode the original so I can't compare, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The rides I had (rows 10, 12 and 14) were all completely unhinged and I loved every insane second of it. Sure it's a bit jolty in places, but it's nowhere near as bad as Bandit, Loup Garou or even Mammut at Tripsdrill. It was 31 degrees Celsius when I rode it, the train was flying through the layout so fast I doubt the wheels were even touching the track. I'm a tall and somewhat fat guy and the Timberliner trains fit me like a glove. No discomfort what so ever. Awesome coaster.
