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 t...

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...

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 was one of the worst rides on a rollercoaster I have ever had. There was a constant rattle and the train felt like it was jumping off the track any second. And for me, the rattle ruins the overal...

This was one of the worst rides on a rollercoaster I have ever had. There was a constant rattle and the train felt like it was jumping off the track any second. And for me, the rattle ruins the overall ride experience. But the layout itself isn't too bad. If it was an Intamin Prefab or GCI this could probably be a decent ride. This is definetely a worthy contender for a fourth European RMC or a general retracking at least. An RMC would be an awesome addition to Walibi Belgium in my opinion.

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 ...

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 ...

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. 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...

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. Des...

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.

The Beast is a rollercoaster every coaster enthusiast should ride at least once. It is very fast for an older wooden coaster and that's where most of the fun comes from. In addition to that there's actually some really enjoyable airtime-like moments along the ride. But this is anything but a smooth ride (when The Beast is at maximum speed the train hops along the track) and I think the trains could use some more legroom. Nevertheless, the ride is a lot of fun, unique and something that has to be experienced.

I think this could have been a much better coaster. Although the launch is nice and the vest restraint on this is surprisingly good the high speed of the ride causes a major rattle which disrupts the ...

I think this could have been a much better coaster. Although the launch is nice and the vest restraint on this is surprisingly good the high speed of the ride causes a major rattle which disrupts the riding experience. I think this coaster would be better off with a lower high speed. It is worth one ride though just for that launch which is amazing.

The first launch is great. The rest of the ride is kind of pointless though. I hate the restraints in front but in the back they're alright because of the space you've got between the seats. Just like...

The first launch is great. The rest of the ride is kind of pointless though. I hate the restraints in front but in the back they're alright because of the space you've got between the seats. Just like Heidi it's another ride for the younger coaster enthusiasts.

I expected a bit more from an RMC coaster, especially given that this is the first single rail I've been on. The whole thing is pretty tame and I'd rather describe it as an inverting bobsled than a rollercoaster. And the restraint which I refuse to call a lap bar, more like a prototype cage-like contraption, is awful and makes airtime uncomfortably work on your legs. Which springs to mind the question: Why isn't the entire metal on the restraint touching your leg at least padded? I don't know how you're supposed to enjoy airtime in these awful restraints. What was enjoyable though were the inversions and especially the Zero-G-Stall which was my favorite moment of the ride and the only reason to ride this thing again. The layout without airtime was enjoyable in general. Overall, I think it is a pretty good rollercoaster with an ill-conceived basic concept.

One of the most underrated rides I have been on. For an over 40 year old rollercoaster it is very smooth, has the best looping on any ride I've been on and still manages to attract many visitors. It is the perfect rollercoaster to introduce to newcomers. In terms of capacity it is great with two trains running. With only one train the capacity is atrocious. The ride itself is surprisingly good. The first drop is nice, the looping is awesome and there is a very nice airtime moment on the ride. The double helix is alright but doesn't do much. Be wary on the final brake run in the tunnel though. As on all Schwarzkopfs the braking is very abrupt. Overall it is a very good coaster which despite its age manages to stay relevant to the coaster world. A true classic that has luckily been kept and renovated by the people at Hansa Park.

I love both European Intamin Prefabs (Colossos and Balder), so I went on this ride with pretty high expectations. It is shocking what can happen to what seemed to be a world class rollercoaster. The entire track rattles (the unbelievably bad track condition is visible from the front row). But that's not all. On top of that, the lap bars are atrocious here, even more than they admittedly usually are. Every train I saw in the station had to be double and triple checked before going out due to the awful restraints. And the lap bars themselves aren't very comfortable either. Apart from that, the ride has many very good airtime hills, nice transitions, no dead spots and probably one of the best layouts a wooden coaster can have. I suspect this was one of the best rollercoasters in the world hence the rank in the Top 100. But now this rollercoaster desperately needs a new track and restraint system.

A good B&M Invert coaster. The first drop, while being pretty unusual, is nice, there are great forces and the ride is very fast paced. However, I think all of the other B&M Inverts I rode had a better balanced out layout, this one is pretty rough but in a fun way.

For 2001 this is a really nice rollercoaster. By nowadays standards it's pretty forceless but probably ideal to get new people into the hobby. The airtimes in the front were nice and plentyful althoug...

For 2001 this is a really nice rollercoaster. By nowadays standards it's pretty forceless but probably ideal to get new people into the hobby. The airtimes in the front were nice and plentyful although they were "only" floater. It reminds me a lot of Goliath at Walibi Holland over in Europe but with floater airtime. Ironically, Goliath was also built for the Six Flags group. All in all, this is an outdated yet very enjoyable rollercoaster that is worth a couple of rides at Six Flags Great Adventure.

This is a nice B&M Inverted Coaster. The first drop over the parking lot looks so high, the intensity is almost too much and the elements are good and interesting. The entire thing end a bit abruptly though. I think it could use a couple of additional hundred meters.

A really nice and forceful B&M Invert. The first drop is awesome, especially in the front row, the ride is very intense and all of the elements are very well placed into the layout. This is a must-ride when visiting Kings Island.

A nicely themed dive coaster. I absolutely love that they didn't put vest restraints on this one like they did it with Valkyria at Liseberg. The first drop is nice although not as far as I had hoped and the ride despite featuring one inversion and an airtime is way too short. Nevertheless it is a very nice coaster only for that one drop. I wouldn't spend over 15-20 minutes in the queue though.

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 gr...

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.

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.

A truly great rollercoaster that I would have loved to ride the way it was meant to be with the launch. A relatively slow chain-lift really isn't going to replace an LSM launch. Nevertheless, Lightning Rod is still an absolute airtime machine and is my personal favorite of RMCs regarding airtime. As on many other RMCs the track needs to be warmed up in order to experience the best this ride has to offer. The only real con of this ride is a rattle after the wave turn. I guess there's a certain bit of the track that needs replacing as it doesn't look right as well. It has cost me the first two rides on the backrows thus I do not recommend anyone over 6' to use the backrows. The rides up front are really enjoyable though and one of the best RMC experiences to make.
