Goliath is an awesome rollercoaster. Yes, the theming is basically not even attempted but the same goes for a lot of other coasters (especially in the US). It is a US style rollercoaster in Europe. It is a very good layout with interesting and forceful elements and a lot of very nice airtime. The only con this coaster has is the lousy one train operation I experienced during both of my visits to Walibi Holland.

YoY is a really good rollercoaster and despite being the inferior side blue still is a lot of fun. It actually has a lot more airtime than the green side, especially during the first drop in the back of the train. But the ride has some rough spots in between the elements. On the blue side it's even worse. It is still not as bad as El Toro (state 2024 with the lousily maintained track) but it sadly overshadows some of the maneuvers. Overall, I'd call YoY a worthy addition to Walibi Holland but RMC should maybe improve the smoothness of their single rail coasters.

YoY is a really good rollercoaster and especially the green side is a lot of fun. The layout is very varied and it's something new in a park with an already excellent coaster lineup. But the ride has some rough spots in between the elements. It is not as bad as El Toro (state 2024 with the lousily maintained track) but it sadly overshadows some of the maneuvers. Overall, I'd call YoY a worthy addition to Walibi Holland but RMC should maybe improve the smoothness of their single rail coasters.

This is an excellent ride. The first drop is phenomenal, there is a lot of airtime and the ride never seems to slow down as it maintains a steady pace. The new lap bars are super comfortable. It is great to see that Hersheypark takes good care of their rollercoasters. All in all, it is one of the best coasters at Hersheypark and a must-ride for every coaster enthusiast.

A very good coaster with a nice first drop and a good subsequent layout. I like the restraints, especially on the outer seats since they do not obscure the view. Although the lap bar can be a bit uncomfortable when too tight. The ride itself is very nice but not as forceful as I had hoped. Hyperion at Energylandia takes a similar approach and delivers a (for me) much more enjoyable riding experience in general. The only advantage this coaster has over Hyperion is that there is no rattle. This is a very good coaster and it is amongst the best in Europe.

Taron is one of the smoothest launch coasters I've ever been on. The layout is excellent with a few nice transitions and two very good launches. The intensity feels a bit toned down on this one, probably to offer a family friendly thrill ride. But every ride is a lot of fun and especially when the track is warmed up at the end of the day.
The only real negative aspect about Taron is its capacity in combination with the queue, which has got to be the worst I've been in so far. Due to the sub par capacity of the ride I've had to wait 80 - 110 minutes each time I went on Taron. The main part of the queue (plaza with cattle pen queue) is especially bad and unimaginative.
But overall, Taron is an excellent rollercoaster, with an awesome riding experience, which is very smooth and is definitely one of the best in Europe.

For me Storm Runner is one of if not the best rollercoaster at Hersheypark. It is an excellent rollercoaster that has stood the test of time. The launch is perfect as it is very forceful while being smooth. The ride uses airtime as well as a launch coaster can. And the flying Snake Dive here is pure fun as it is not disorientating and it doesn't give you a headache. This exact Snake Dive is among my favorite single rollercoaster elements of all time. The entire ride is very well paced, without dead spots, smooth and in my opinion not too short. The only real cons of the rollercoaster are the awful plastic seats. But other than that this rollercoaster can still compete with newer ones and I consider it as one of the best launch coasters out there. It is probably the best Intamin Accelerator Coaster.

This is easily the best coaster at Europa Park. It's awesome, something new and especially the first half of the ride feels very well composed. I love the non-stop intensity, the ejector airtimes and the variety of maneuvers.
The inner seats deliver a much more enjoyable ride than the outer ones. On the outer seats the train rattles so much it destroys the experience almost completely.
The reliability is awful. The ride broke down several times. It shouldn't happen this often after being one year in operation by its manufacturer.
The theming is excellent and the ride feels very well centered around it.
Overall, this is an excellent rollercoaster that brings variety in terms of elements, has outstanding theming and delivers a very good ride experience (except for rides on the outer seats, they are atrocious).

What a great ride. There are a lot of airtime moments, albeit that they are not aggressively intense. Especially the airtime during the backwards launch stands out, it's awesome. There is a lot of good hangtime as well which is being made comfortable by the amazing over-the-shoulder lap bars. The best moment during the ride is when you get vertically launched up and you're waiting to fall down again. The big drop is also very nice but I wish they had gone with a vertical drop after the top hat (just like on Red Force). I feel that would have worked better with the overall design. The elements are excellent and varied. This rollercoaster is a load of fun and delivers a special experience. To me it feels like an improved version of Taron at Phantasialand.

I didn't expect this ride to be this good. The only con the coaster has is the lousy uncomfortable lap bar system. The airtime, especially on the spike is a lot of fun, the launches are great and the entire ride feels well rounded off. On the outer seats (at least at the back) you will get soaked so save this ride for a hot summer day.

This rollercoaster is absolutely amazing.
The theming in the queue as well as during the ride is spot on as always at Hansa Park. The entire section in the tower is uniquely awesome and the drop to the outside is very intense and always fun.
There are two very strong ejector airtimes on the ride - I absolutely love those. After the second one the ride sadly loses much of its pace and intensity.
The other real con I have to give to the ride is its capacity. Due to the tower section the ride only manages to dispatch very few trains. Gladly the queue usually takes around 45 minutes so it is bearable to wait.
Overall "Der Schwur des Kärnan" is an excellent coaster with lots of pace and intensity as well as world class theming.

This is by far the worst ride I've ever had on a rollercoaster. The best aspect of the ride is the seating as the seats are legitimately comfortable. But that's about it. There is a constant rattle and the train felt like it was jumping off the track any second, even on a straight track. If there's a candidate for an RMC or GCI retrack, this is it. The park should really go for it as this layout could be turned into something good.
Overall, Loup Garou is a terrible ride. I do not get why anyone who knows this rollercoaster would voluntarily queue for the ride. It is a torturous experience and absolutely no fun except for the relief you experience when reaching the final brake. I'd rather ride on Furious Baco's worst seats for an entire day before riding this again.
I like Untamed, it's a great rollercoaster. But for me it resembles Steel Vengeance only in form of the color of the track and not the ride itself.

I like Untamed, it's a great rollercoaster. But for me it resembles Steel Vengeance only in form of the color of the track and not the ride itself.
I love the first drop, the 270 degree double inverting stall and all of the inversions. However, I feel as if RMC ran out of ideas in the second half of the ride. The second half consists pretty much of only getting unpleasantly yanked out of your seat like a ragdoll. No other RMC I've been on is this repetitively designed, not even Twisted Timbers. I like airtime more than anything but not like this. After the 4th bunny hill the fun turns into torture for me. In general it makes the elements seem wildly thrown together and the ride experience suffers massively as a result.
That being said, I still like the ride but I wouldn't call it any more than a good rollercoaster due to the aforementioned flaws it has. Steel Vengeance and Zadra are miles better than Untamed and it is not even close.

The launch is excellent and the seats are nice. But the layout feels like a frantically thrown together mix of elements. Some inversions and turns are being passed at a snail's pace and others throw you around brutally. Like almost all other Mack coasters there is a slight rattle although it isn't too bad on this one. Overall, it's a decent rollercoaster with a great launch but not much else to offer in my opinion.

I absolutely love this masterpiece of a rollercoaster. The first drop is out of this world, the six ejector airtime moments are awesome and the pacing the ride has is perfect. Apart from Kondaa or maybe Hyperion I'd have difficulty naming a rollercoaster with better airtime. So much so, that I say the rides on this redefined the term ejector airtime for me. The back row has the best seats but you can ride it pretty much anywhere and you'll have a load of fun. This defines a world class rollercoaster for me which Expedition GeForce despite its 24 year existence still is. It is the best German rollercoaster by far. A must ride for every coaster enthusiast.

A very special yet kind of incomplete rollercoaster. The track is a bit rough, yet nothing compared to an an SLC's track. Overall, the ride's layout is nice but without any inversion it feels pretty pointless. If this ride had an inversion and was a bit smoother it would probably be even better than Juvelen.

This is the best family coaster I know. I had to double check whether it was really a family launch coaster as the second launch is pretty intense. The second half has much snappier transitions than the first. It took a few rides until I could comfortably sit in the pretty unconventional trains. Overall, this was a nice surprise and way better than what I expected.

This is one masterpiece of a rollercoaster. It is ridiculously awesome how much airtime Piraten has from a mere height of 31 meters. The first turn is pretty intense but not as much as this ride's red and yellow lookalike. The ride is very well paced and there are no dead spots or weakening airtimes. But the track needs to be warmed up in order to fully enjoy this ride.

This one was a mixed bag for me. And as someone who loves Intamin and especially their launch coasters this surprised me. The ride is forceful, there is some nice airtime, pretty intense inversions and the second launch is pretty good. However, this ride broke down 3 times in the two days when I was at Cedar Point which I find to be most irregular for an established Intamin coaster. Furthermore, the restraints are awful (I'd prefer the plastic harness found on Kingda Ka) and the first launch up the hill is pointless. That being said, this rollercoaster is very special and still an experience I do not wish to have missed out on.

Steel Vengeance is one of the best rollercoasters I've ever been on. However, I do not think it is the world's best rollercoaster or even RMC for that matter. It is a masterpiece of retracking considering Mean Streak's relatively bad reputation. The first drop is awesome, the train never seems to lose pace and all of the inversions are very smooth and well balanced out. I'd say the first half up until the mid course brake run is a bit better than the second half but that doesn't substract from the ride's enjoyability. All in all, I can see why so many perceive this as the best rollercoaster out there but for me it isn't.

A truly mesmerizing rollercoaster. It is an absolutely perfect experience except for the launches which feel as forceful as transport wheels. Nevertheless all of the elements are perfectly balanced out, not repetitive and forcefully driven through. Even the drop out of the station delivers airtime (at least in the backseats). By the way, this ride has some crazily good ejector airtime. On top of that you have the beautiful scenery of the Liseberg, which makes the ride very special. Nearing the end of the ride, there is one moment though where the train is just kind of meandering through some transitions. But overall, Helix is a masterpiece of a ride, which every coaster enthusiast should get a lot of enjoyment out of.

This very smooth wooden coaster is a load of fun. The airtime is very good and plentyful. As with the other European Intamin-Prefab, Colossos at Heide Park in Germany, the track is super smooth and has no rattling (unlike El Toro over in the United States). The only minor con this coaster might have is its compact layout. I wish the airtime was longer, maybe a bit more forceful and the repetition of the turns was minimised. But given the limited space Liseberg has I can understand why they opted for a compact layout. Actually, when factoring in the space, this is a masterpiece.

What an awful ride. Probably it is just still standing because it is a cult classic to people at Parc Astérix. Almost all elements are atrocious, as one would expect from an older Vekoma coaster. The inversions are not enjoyable and sometimes downright painful and the inferior restraints disable your movement almost completely. Although I must say I did enjoy it slightly more than Big Loop (at Heide Park in Germany) which is another one of the Vekoma MK-1200 coasters. At least Goudurix has a decent first drop.

Despite the refurbishment (if you can even call it that given the track still looks the same) this is still no pleasant ride. The harness hurts your shoulders, the train rattles along the track and I was legitimately glad the ride was over. I wouldn't recommend this rollercoaster. This is by far an inferior version of B&M's Inverted Coasters and it doesn't even come close. They should tear this ride down as there are only a few more I know of that are worse.
It is an inferior coaster but it has a very good theming as all of the rides at Hansa Park.

It is an inferior coaster but it has a very good theming as all of the rides at Hansa Park.
The ride can be a bit uncomfortable, especially with the hard braking at the end. And considering how long the queue usually is I'd rather spend that time in every other attraction's queue.

The theming is very well done and probably the best thing about this ride. The launch is much fun too. Sadly the trains are discomfortable and the rest of the ride doesn't have much to offer. The last inversion was very painful.

It is in general decent ride but the restraints ruin it for me. The headbanging you receive is very annoying and the seats are so close to each other that you end up with your neighbour's elbow in your arm. PortAventura should invest some money and switch the restraints to lap bars.

It is generally a nice rollercoaster. Though the ever appearing rattle, despite the retracking, makes it hard to ride it multiple times. It's safe to say RMC would have probably done a better job. Despite this the first drop is very nice for a wooden coaster, the queue line is very well themed and in general the ride is fun. The lap bars are just weird, but they don't bother me. The capacity is atrocious though.
