Standard large Tivoli model. They're usually fun rides with the mammoth train meaning you take he elements at very odd speeds, but this one is really janky and uncomfortable unfortunately

First Drop Spaß Sanftheit

This baby GCI really shows that you don't need lots of height and speed to have a great time on a coaster. Typical of any GCI, it uses the speed it does have to deliver a fun and enthralling ride experience on a layout with several moments of nice floaty airtime and some snappy whips side to side. The first drop is decently steep and has some nice pull at the back, even though the trains are only 6 cars long. Would love to see how it would ride with 8 car trains. Id say the back is the best on it but front row is very fun as well. The entire ride is also wonderfully smooth, still a little wooden coaster jostling but so enjoyable, Polpsaland do a great job with the maintenance clearly. Heidi fits excellently into the parks lineup and is overall a fantastic family woodie which I always enjoy getting a good few rides on when I visit the park.

Anubis is a super underrated coaster, this thing is excellent with a really snappy launch which takes you properly by surprise every time. It shoots you off into a fairly short but really fun layout with some excellent moments of airtime on the top hats and several great sections of intensity. For a Gerstlauer that is getting on a bit now, it runs pretty smooth, the back row can be a bit brutal in a few places but the front is much better, and the middle is really smooth, very enjoyable. An excellent coaster, and don't sleep on it when you come to plopsaland!

Meisterwerk Layout Ejectors Rütteln

Every time I come over to Plopsaland on the Eurotunnel, I wonder if Ride to Happiness will live up to the rides I had previously. And every time, it blows me away. Never before has a ride been so perfect as some of the rides that this coaster gives me. Every single element is just incredible, every hill throws you out of your seat, every inversion throws you around or ejects you down towards the ground. 3 of my favourite inversions of all time are on here, the Jojo roll, the zero g roll, and the ridiculous double twist dive loop. The final run of airtime hills are insane as well, full on ejector every single time. Its mega rerideable as well, thanks to the spinning, you'll have a ride which is elite, but then you'll have a ride where you hit every single element in the perfect way, and it just ascends into the throne of heaven. Then you've got the amazing theming, the incredible on ride soundtrack, and the trains which are so gorgeous and intricate, and have by far the best lap bars in the world, with the auto-lowering meaning you can never be stapled on this ride, they're supremely comfortable. One thing I did notice that has developed rather quickly since my last rides, is a rattle, the valleys and the overbank turn before the final airtime hills really bounce about, it wasn't ever this bad so hopefully it's just a bad set of wheels and they can get it back to how it was. But that doesn't stop the Ride to Happiness being one of the greatest works of art in the world of theme parks, and hats off to Plopsaland and Mack Rides for delivering it with such disdainful perfection

First Drop Layout Dauer Kapazität

Sometimes you have a lap round on a ride and something just works out to elevate it to elite standards. Well the spin that I experienced on Dragons Fury exceeded anything I've ever felt on a conventional spinning coaster. It seems to be that if it's just 2 of you in a car, and you ascent the lift facing backwards, it just flings you round down the drop, and then doesn't stop around the entire layout. Absolutely mental. Even without accidental beast mode though, it's an excellent ride with a really good layout, very much underappreciated I think, and certainly the best spinning coaster in the country. The capacity does suck though so I'd recommend an off peak weekday to stack up on rides!

Talk about presence. The area around Energylandia is pretty flat, so you can see Hyperion from miles around. It's also visible when flying into Krakow airport which is very cool. Its just massive and with it being the first thing you see of the park, it gets you so hyped to ride. And boy does it live up to that hype. You ascend the lift super fast, then get flung over that first drop. On the back it's seriously insane ejector, and the front is seriously insane hangtime. The best first drop I've ever experienced for sure. The following hill delivers great airtime, before the awesome dive loop turnaround that really whips you through. From there there's more airtime, a mix of floater and serious ejector, and lots of low down intense turns, which is amazing for the speed, it's paced really and you fly into the brakes. The final hill before the splashdown is a great end as well, proper ejector on that. The front row is incredible but my afternoon ride on the back was right up there as one of my best ever coaster rides. The outer wing seats do have a pretty strong bounce to them, fortunately the trains are super comfortable so it's not a killer, but I do prefer the inside seats for a comfortable ride. It also has a really stupid queue line. But this is one elite ride, and thanks to Zadra's dire trains, its my favourite on park too

Somehow I managed to avoid riding a wacky worm until my 99th credit. To be fair, it was alright, not rough, not hideously uncomfortable trains, and some interesting theming. Probably the best of the tiny Energylandia creds

Airtimes First Drop Tempo Unangenehm Schoßbügel

Never have I experienced a ride that is so absolutely elite, so relentlessly fast, so whippy, such an amazing first drop, that is so severely spoilt by just one thing - those horrible restraints. This won't be an issue for most riders but I am very tall and fairly broad, and those shin guards just smash into my legs at every opportunity. The lap bar itself is bad as well, it's like a breeze block sat on your lap. I can only imagine how uncomfortable the more airtime-focussed RMCs are for someone like me. Also a mention for the brakes, which are crazy sharp, that train flies into them and it stops you like you've hit a wall. Be prepared for it! All that being said, Zadra is a crazy good coaster in terms of everything else. It's utterly insane how fast you traverse the course, its pacing like nothing else, the speed is by far the biggest highlight. Although that would be closely followed by the 200ft vertical drop, into an unbanked speed pop that curves slightly right, just insane, ridiculous airtime. Then there's that stall, it's just the perfect speed, you have no hangtime at all, you're just floating there being pushed forward by the train, it's amazing. The wave turn is serious ejector once its warmed up, then the big floater hill breaks things up really well. After that, the 2 last inversions are fantastic, the double down throws you around like a ragdoll, then you slam into those aforementioned brakes. Despite the pain from the restraints, which for me personally means quite the fall from grace, only an insane person wouldn't appreciate all the many many things that Zadra does really well, and if the restraints don't bother you, I wouldn't begrudge anyone who says this is the best Europe has to offer

Airtimes Layout Dauer Dead spots

I wasn't really expecting as much from Abyssus as what I got, this is an awesome ride. Super long, loads of great transitions, plenty of airtime moments - the standout being the hill before passing under the station into the batwing, that launches you good - and 2 really decent launches, the second one has some nice force to it. I've put dead spots as a negative but really it's just one dead spot, the big ol' trim on the top hat does kill that element unfortunately, but everything else really feels well thought out and very enjoyable. Its not mega forceful, but it certainly has some moments. Overall though, a really great fun coaster and one that I definitely enjoyed way more than i expected that I would

The first new age Vekoma thrill coaster really doesn't disappoint, this is a short, sharp little ride that packs some great punch! Unfortunately the launch isn't much to write home about, was less snappy than I was expecting, but it shoots you off into a great layout with some snappy turns and transitions, good airtime pops, and one particular corkscrew which hit far harder than I was expecting, it was awesome. It probably is a touch short but it's super fun, super smooth and very enjoyable!

Nette Überraschung! Spaß Sanftheit

This was a proper sleeper hit at Energylandia, it's great! Super smooth, some good whip on the first drop, some great intensity and decent length too. Really an excellent family coaster, don't underestimate the Dragon!

Spaß Sanftheit

This boomerang layout is great, good length, some fun moments and good whip. The spike is great on the front too

Tempo Sanftheit Zu kurz

The shorter Boomerang layout, but it's whippy and takes the turns with good speed. Good fun

Is it better than a standard SLC? Yeah, but not by much. Bangs you around like mad, and those restraints come down seriously hard. Certainly still a bottom tier coaster

Another fun Vekoma family coaster, smooth, comfortable trains, but it is on the short side

Spaß Sanftheit

A standard big Vekoma family coaster, nice and smooth, 2 lap special, what's not to like

Is it the worst coaster in the world? I don't think so, its not even the worst coaster at Energylandia. Does it still suck? Yes is absolutely does

Unangenehm

One of the worst of Energylandia's crappie kids coasters, the lap bar is like a log, tiny trains, janky, and it's criminal that its next to Zadra

Nette Überraschung! Sanftheit Zu kurz

A very short Vekoma family coaster, but super smooth and with some decent intensity! A hint of airtime at the back of the train too. Good fun!

Is it a coaster? Hmm, barely, but it is very smooth

Some decent spinning to be fair, very tight trains though so not a comfy one

Thematisierung Rütteln Unangenehm

Some fun theming around the ride but it's janky as hell, quite baffling how such a small ride can be so rough

Nette Überraschung! Sanftheit Layout Unangenehm

An excellent mine train this, great layout, nice and long, decently intense in various places, and a smattering of airtime to boot. Suffers as most Vekoma mine trains do from the seats being very short, they don't make it far up your back which can cause some discomfort for tall riders. But overall a really nice ride and a good fit at the park

You need to know how to ride Saw. Knowing where to sit (back row), knowing where the potholes are (specifically the bottom of the main drop), knowing which transitions are bad (dive loop, turn into the brakes), and knowing to keep your head well forward, are all key to not hating the ride. This takes time and I don't think many people will enjoy their first time riding. I certainly didn't. But nowadays I really rather enjoy it, it's still not all that comfortable but there's some real highlights to the layout, in particular the overbank and airtime hill, and the indoor section which really is superb, the first drop being the best part of the whole ride. The theming is excellent as well, I'm not a fan of IPs generally but they did a great job with it, and the theme fits the ride experience really well. The queue can be a real slow mover but recently Thorpe have been running it really well, which is excellent to see. It'll never be my favourite ride, but I certainly appreciate it's good parts a lot more now I know how to ride it!

Airtimes Tempo Meisterwerk

I don't know what Towers have done to Wicker Man this season, but it's absolutely flying round, it's running the best it ever has done. Nice and smooth, but really aggressive and whippy. This GCI has always well outclassed it's stature and family-thrill billing, with relentless pacing and fantastic airtime, and a really creative layout considering the plot of land that it occupies. There's really no moment that the ride lets up, even the flat turn offers some good laterals, and it hauls right into the brakes having barely lost any speed. I can enjoy it in any row and at any time of the day, but there's no doubt that the elite seat is row 12 at the end of a warm day, it throws you around like only a good woodie can and the airtime is elevated there. If you have the opportunity to get a night ride, do not pass it up, and for the best possible experience, ride it during the fireworks display at the end of the season. Also goes without saying that the theming is excellent as well, soundtrack is fantastic, and ops are the best on any coaster in the country when it's on 3 trains, which is all the time that all 3 trains are available. Don't underestimate the power of the Wicker Man!

Don't think anyone's surprised now that an SLC is the rollercoaster equivalent of a vindaloo poo. It hurts, it sucks, terrible transitions, it will bruise your face as it batters you around. I guess it does look nice though, but as with it's big, boring, painful red neighbour, i'd happily see it collapse away into the Irish sea

Spaß Unangenehm

For a kids coaster, this little woodie is very fun, short layout but a decent bit of speed, and a hint of air at the back of the train. Wasn't rough either which is of course important for a small ride like this. Trains are tiny so not the most comfortable credit for an adult.

Spaß Unangenehm

In reality, steeplechase is terrible, offers nothing in terms of ride experience, and it's certainly not comfortable, instantaneous brakes at the end and whilst it's not rattly or rough, the transitions are very poor and slam you around. Seems to be particularly painful for the ladies as well, I didn't find it awful but some of the girls in the group were very much one n done. Despite the obvious flaws, I always have a hilarious time riding it, particularly if you have a riding buddy, and no one can deny that the fact it's still operating, as the only classic Steeplechase model left in the world, is really nice to see
