Leider hat mich die hochgelobte Lisebergbanan ein wenig enttäuscht. Klar ist es eher ein Family Coaster, aber trotzdem hat mir die Fahrt nicht so viel gegeben - das Layout sieht leider spannender aus, als es in Wirklichkeit ist (einige "Dead Spots", wo der Zug ziemlich langsam wird), dazu habe ich von der Laufruhe mehr erwartet. Gelungen ist jedoch die wirklich lange Fahrzeit, die Ausblicke vom Hügel und Interaktion mit den benachbarten Attraktionen sowie die Gestaltung der Station. Kleiner Tipp: in der letzten Reihe fand ich die Fahrt am uninteressantesten - je weiter vorne man sitzt, desto rasanter kam sie mir vor.

A small trick for more comfort: try to slide back in your seat as much as possible before closing the strange lap bar - your stomach will thank you. Asides from that, I enjoyed this woodie more than I thought: It has a long and diverse layout, has some decent out of control feeling without being too rough (the thick seat paddings help to make it more comfortable) and there are some decent airtime moments. A heavily underrated ride in the fan community!

This is the most boring wooden coaster i've been on so far. Theming and the overall appearance is quite nice, but the ride itself is disappointing: Especially in the morning, the train loses speed really quickly and the layout is, except of the drop, the following turn and the final tunnel very repetitive. There are some small hills without any airtime and the rest of the layout are turns and changes in direction, which are taken too slow to be fun. Yawn...

2010: An unforgettable experience, but not in a good way at all - ouch! The worst coaster I have been on. 2023: Still a really bumpy ride (especially when warmed up!), but thanks to the new vest restraints, it does not hurt. In fact, it is one of the better SLC's now!

A decent kiddie coaster: While theming is rather mediocre (the other two coasters at Plopsa Indoor Hasselt and Coevorden are better themed), the dark ride part is still a nice feature. The ride itself fulfils its purpose of being a family-friendly ride suitable for every age, it is fun and runs really smooth!

This ride is a strange one: first of all, the seating position is extremely low, so the cars start to sway sideways at the minimum of movement you make while sitting in them. Secons, your restraint is a simple seat belt over your lap which attaches you on the bench you sit in a straddled position. And beware of the block brakes, they can hit pretty hard (which is not always the case, though)! Tranan feels just unique, you can't finde sensations like this on any other coaster I can think of.

The extremely long first drop in the front row in the afternoon blew me away, the airtimes are amazing and towards the end, there is also an intense twister section, so there is no dead spot during the ride. Additionally, the dive drop is a really cool element. On the outer seats, there is a noticable rattle, but it didn't bother me, the inner seats are much smoother. The only major downside is the ridiculously long queue which seems more like a parking garage with very little theming and some light effects, especially on empty days with multiple rides this long way can get quite annoying. But for this coaster, it is definetly worth it!

Untamed - the name says it all, it's a really wild ride: The inversions are indeed the least intense aspects of the ride, the ejector airtime ist ridiculous! Especially the "Double up & Double Down" is a hell of a coaster element, it feels like being yanked out of the train three times in a row. The "270 Degree Double Inverting Corner Stall" is a very interesting element (probably the best moment on this coaster) and the uphill barrell roll at the end provides excellent hangtime. With all those aspects combined with the the banked airtime hills, riding Untamed feels like being thrown around in any possible direction. The setting and theming of the area is pretty cool, I really liked the "natural touch" of this. Only things to criticize about this ride is the lap bar getting quite uncomfortable after multiple rides and the finale consisting of small bunny hops is a little too repetitive for me - I prefer sustained airtime to these short bursts. Such a shame that the brutal airtime pops cobined with the restraints ruins my ride experience which is overall pretty good, but doesn't live up to the hype around this coaster.

Dark ride portion is nicely done with a fun element of surprise in the end, while the coaster part is a decent family ride: it may have its dead spots and be a bit rattly, but nothing to write home about it. Altogether, this is the best rollercoaster of the park - even after Maximus opened, the complete package of Feuerdrache is better!

My expectations were not that high, but we were disappointed anyway: First of all, operations were bad - the second train had to wait quite a long time before the first one is ready for dispatch. Second, theming could be done better and the cattlepen queue is just horrendous. The ride itself looks interesting on paper, but the layout is so bland - it doesn't do anything at all for me. The inversions are taken very slowly and in the transistions, there is barely any whip, so even when considering it as a family-oriented ride, it is just boring. That alone would not be that bad if it would ride smoothly, but Maximus runs worse than its older cousins Fénix, The Swarm and Flug der Dämonen: for such a new ride, it has some noticable jolts - so I wonder how this thing runs in ten years...

Easily one of the best family coasters out there: Theming is done really well and the ride experience is great fun from a small kid to a hardcore coaster enthusiast - this long ride has a lot of tricks upon its sleeve. There are two launches, airtime hills, a surprisingly intense backwards part and even a small darkride section. Additionally, trains are comfortable and the ride runs smooth. Capacity is also good - what is not to like about this fun ride?

This is kind of a mixed bag for me: Some parts are really smooth (for example the banked airtime hill), others have a rattle which is noticable but far away from uncomfortable. Layout is quite good, ...

This is kind of a mixed bag for me: Some parts are really smooth (for example the banked airtime hill), others have a rattle which is noticable but far away from uncomfortable. Layout is quite good, it has some nice airtime moments, is pretty long and versatile, and the tunnels are a neat gimmick. According to the name, this might be one of the loudest coasters I have ever encountered, the trains make a high-pitched metallic noise when on the lift hill and running with greater speed. Personally, I am not a big fan of the trains - they look ugly and the lap bars are not the best. To sum it all up, Tonneure 2 Zeus is a solid and fun coaster on par with Pegase Express, but does not come close to Oziris and Toutatis.

I expected this ride to be brutally rough, but albeit not being smooth by any means, it ran way better than we all thought. I appreciated the high intensity and classic inversions and even went on it a second time. In the front row, it turned out to be a bit more bumpy than in the last car, but it was still nothing against a SLC or something. Nevertheless, these ugly old Vekoma cars are simply uncomfortable and should be replaced, I think with vest restraints, this actually could be a pretty good ride. Capacity wasn't great with only one train running, so lines were pretty long at my visit.

The rides I had on a middle seat were totally fine - fairly rough, but bearable. Over the axis, it was quite painful, so I recommend staying away from these seats if you don't want it too bumpy. Aside from that, this rather innocent looking coaster has quite some serious airtime moments, especially the small bunny hops taken with high speed fling you out of your seat. This is definetely the most intense woody at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, maybe even the most intense ride of the entire park - a ride with wet rails after light rain was absolutely insane. The duelling and Moebius aspect add to the unique ride experience.

This coaster is just wow: while the section before the triple launch might be fine, but not outstanding, the madness begins with the launch section. While the airtime on the first acceleration is floater, it grows to aggressive ejector moments in the second launch, when going backwards, these are more intense. The top hat might be taken very slowly, but it still has airtime on every seat. After this huge drop, the layout has a bit of everything: nice inversions, forceful turns and airtime in huge amounts and every kind. Kind of interesting is the hill which is banked 90 degrees to the side - this element looks pretty wonky from the outside, but rides extremely calm and offers a short "break" in this wild ride with blistering pacing. During my visits, this ride was down for most of the first day, but luckily, on my second day, it was mostly reliable - I still hope, the park can solve these problems during the time. I strongly recommend the front seat where the sense of speed shows best, but the back row is even better because of the forces and airtime moments which are more intense at this place.

It might not be the most intense invert out there, it feels more graceful than the others with heavy positive G's, but it is still an amazing ride. The layout is pretty versatile - the small dip after...

It might not be the most intense invert out there, it feels more graceful than the others with heavy positive G's, but it is still an amazing ride. The layout is pretty versatile - the small dip after the vertical loop provides a nice moment of floater airtime and the dive under the water just into the zero-G-roll makes this coaster special. But my personal highlight is the final inversion - it is taken with a lower speed, so this zero-G-roll feels extremely floaty and might be the best of its kind. Theming is nicely done, the queue is one of the best in this park and the station building with the plaza looks awesome.

One of the most surprising coaster I have been on: The ejector moments are downright insane, especially when going backwards - and the strong positive G's in the valleys caused me some slight greyouts. It is a real rarity which should not be missed out when going to Blackpool!
