    Airtimes First Drop Meisterwerk

    Que dire de Zadra à part que c'est le meilleur coaster que j'ai pu rider jusque maintenant. Il mélange à la perfection tout ce qu'on demande d'un coaster. Tout d'abord il est juste magnifique, sa structure et sa prestance montrent, rien qu'au premier coup d’œil qu'il en a dans le ventre. Pour le ride, rien à redire. Le coaster est intense comme il faut, avec de nombreux, bons et longs airtimes. La première drop est juste incroyable, tout comme le Zero-G Stall, bien planant qui permet de souffler un peu avant le reste du ride. Le mot "temps mort" n'existe pas pour Zadra, on enchaine airtimes et inversions à la perfection, sans parler du Out-banked turn, un régal. Le seul petit défaut pour chipoter est la puissance des freins, mais ce n'est pas très génant. Bref, un coaster à faire absolument, qui mérite largement le déplacement.

    Airtimes First Drop Tempo

    Wow. I expected a good, not great, coaster that would fall near the middle of my giga rankings. What I received was a ride that was relentlessly well-paced from start to finish. The drop is Fury-level, the first hill gives good off-axis air, the turnaround gives a ton of weird, strong forces culminating in a nice pop of ejector into the sustained ejector of the speed hill. The helix is forceful but not overly so, the near miss is absolutely ridiculous, and the last two airtime hills before the brakes hit like a truck - the best elements of the ride. This is my favorite giga.

    This is the weakest adult coaster in the park. That said, it's a pretty fantastic racing coaster with many dueling elements, decent airtime, and an interesting layout. It doesn't hold a candle to its nephew at Kings Island, but it was a very enjoyable ride and experience.

    I've never liked the Sky Rocket II model, and this dinky little ride didn't look like anything special. But the launch is incredible, just a bit less forceful than a Maverick, the top hat gives far more airtime than it has any right to, the inversions are smooth and provide great forces, and the layout is quietly relentless. This was a surprisingly great ride in a park full of surprisingly great rides.

    This coaster operates without lap bars and looks as rickety as my 90 year old grandfather. Needless to say, I didn't expect much more than a fun, if tame, old school woodie. What I didn't expect was that absurd standing airtime on the double down, which might be the single greatest element I've ever experienced.

    ce coaster de bientôt 20 ans, a mal vieillit. il n'y a pas trop de vibration mais plutôt des coups violent successif au niveau du lap bar dans les virages. je ne pense pas que depuis sa construction ce coaster à subit une rénovation ! pourtant il est grand temps qu'il en subisse une de toute urgences !! il me semble avoir vu des morceaux de bois qui commencent à se détacher !

    Airtimes Standort Layout

    The retracking treated the red side a lot worse than the blue one, and I wouldn't ride this one on a wheel seat. Still a good ride with great floater and fun races, but the bottoms of the hills are a jolt to the lower back.

    An excellent ride on its own merits, when racing, this ride is exquisite. The ahead-of-its-time airtime from modern profiled hills shows the brilliance of John C. Allen, and the offseason retracking work returned this ride to its rightful position as a classic jewel that led the coaster resurgence in the 1970s.

    A wonderful, smooth, intense ride that, despite the hype in the community, still managed to surprise me. The airtime is varied but relentless, and it manages to sneak in some wild laterals and near misses in and around the ravine. This is a masterpiece.

    The adorable retrofuturistic aesthetic catches the eye. From off the ride, the coaster looks rough, but the padded seats and single-position lap bar make it feel as smooth as a Modern steel coaster. The pop of ejector airtime going into the lift hill is absolutely absurd, and the sustained laterals following the drop ensure that both you and your riding partner will be pressed against the left side of the seat. Overall a very fun ride!
