    Thematisierung Kapazität Dead spots

    J'ai eu l'occasion de le rider 5 fois en une seule visite à l'aide des fast-pass. Un plaisir! Bien sur que le layout est ancien mais les 2 corksrcew, le looping et le launch se font bien sentir. Il est vrai qu'a 2 reprises le tracé contient un grand virage inutile, c'est probablement qu'il faut profiter de la musique ;) Les trains possèdent de la musique embarquée et à plusieurs reprises j'ai trouvé le volume de la musique plutôt faible. A l'intérieur de l'attraction, le lightshow est surprenant. Probablement le plus gros atout de ce ride. L'attraction va être fermée en septembre. Un peu de nouveauté fera du bien au parc.

    Airtimes Zu kurz Rückhaltebügel

    File d'attente très bien décorée à l'extérieur. Quelques airtimes mais rien d'incroyable. surtout trop court. Ma référence pour ce type d'attraction est le Pulsar de Walibi Belgium.

    Thematisierung Spaß Inversionen

    Coaster original ! La première descente est super sympa ! L'inversion très lente (tête en bas pendant plusieurs secondes) m'a fait mal au crâne, mais cela ne m'a pas empêché de le refaire plusieurs fois !

    Had the luxury of having multiple stay-on rides, at night, at Halloween! Given the space constraints in Tivoli Gardens that it exists at all is an achievement. Not the best B&M you'll ever find but has oodles of atmosphere in a great park. Night riding repeatedly cannot be recommended enough!

    Inversionen Intensität Rückhaltebügel

    Ace coaster, and one that almost cannot be believed to be portable, even after all these years. Clunky two part restraints are a dislike especially the shoulders, though I can see why they are necessary. The ride would have clearance issues in certain places if your arms were free. Pacing isn't the best; after the 5 inversions the ride still has quite a bit of run time, but can't do an awful lot with it. Still an incredible achievement and long may it continue!

    Kapazität Unangenehm Reißt es ab!

    The Smiler is Marmite. Love it or hate it, it seems. The latest Gerstlauers have learned that rate-of-change-of-acceleration is important. Smiler was on that learning curve, but not right. Suspect build quality from day one, even pre-accident it had a lot of problems. The spin-and-spew quality to the ride is, I will grant it, somewhat novel, but those trains, oh those trains are hateful bolt-upright things and highly uncomfortable. Also, I intensely dislike the queue line. Yay! Let's deliberately pack you all in like cattle in a cage. Not a pleasant experience. Given a shorter queue I'd maybe have enjoyed it somewhat more; however the only thing that will entice me into a return is a refit with Hangtime-style clamshells. Some legends say the Black Hole was cursed; and I am inclined to believe the Smiler is proof!

    Horror theme is hardly enticing; and a crap ride to boot. Like other early Gerstlauers, instant migraine. Merlin can afford far better and being short changed with crappy rides in one of the few parks that could actually finance something good in the UK is doubly annoying.

  • Dave Scott

    Instant migraine. Oakwood were looking for something impressive within their budget, which I guess the ride ticks that box, but absolutely no desire to go back on this. Gerstlauers I like are very rare indeed, and this is definitely not one of them.

    Good layout in a half interesting setting if it's not overran with rubbish and graffitti. Frequent power cuts in the park mean frequent downtime, and the ride has poor capacity at the best of times. Routinely fitted with 50-pence piece shaped wheels, and the restraints aren't far short of requiring a yoga instructor to get in an out. Can't help but think it was intended to have TTD-style lap bars; but insurers got nervous after some unfortunate events elsewhere.

    Une Wildmouse très améliorée avec une bonne théma...la première création du constructeur, c'est donc intéressant.
