    First Drop Inversionen Layout

    Great little RMC, it did not disappoint for a first ride on a RMC. A great little machine that I would love to reride. Worth the visit to Walibi Holland. Too bad we could only ride it twice, as it was down in the morning. I wish I could have ridden it at least 5 times! I would definitely come back especially for Untamed.

    Abschuss Intensität Layout Rütteln

    As already said in other reviews, the theming is fantastic, the dispatch is surprisingly very efficient, and the profusion of details all along the queue line makes you forget that you have to wait for at least 40 minutes, you hardly ever stop walking for more than 30 seconds in the line. And you don't see time passing by. It's very immersive and well done, the animatronic is absolutely stunning, and the show with the electricity that occurs every 15/20 minutes is pure genius. I was looking forward to riding this wonder, and came back to Europa park especially for Voltron, 2 months after my first visit. I had high expectations, and they were fulfilled, except for a few details, not a big deal anyway. I was tense and excited, and didn't expect such an energetic and relentless ride! I hyped myself by watching the official teasing videos and the ones published by YouTubers. The vertical launch is out of this world, so unique, and the layout is punchy all the way. The only moment you can breathe is on the turntable (crazy element!), hearing this magnificent soundtrack for a short while. The layout is nothing like I have ever experienced before, it features airtime, hang time, laterals, and absolutely mad G's inside the helix. Rode it 6 times, and we got the non-rattly and the rattly trains. Some really have an uncomfortable rattle. I hope that this will be fixed by the park, as i read that they are doing some experiments on the trains. And it does make a difference, particularly on the outer seats, which are a bit more challenging than the ones in the middle. Not for the faint at heart, it's a bit uncomfortable! But packs a lot of intensity! In a nutshell, it's a wonderful ride, my #4, I highly recommend to ride it if you fancy intensity, and really well themed attractions. One of the most beautifully themed I've seen. A must ride for any enthusiast, anyway! I must say that I have a plus for Toutatis, which is punchy, intense, but smooth when it's been heated all day long, on back and front seats. I never felt any discomfort riding it, it's so reridable (4 times in a row yesterday, and 3 more during the day) and it remains my #1 for the moment, after a good 80 rides on it or so. Just behind Toutatis, I rank ride to happiness and Eejanaika, Voltron, Taron and F.L.Y. Although I love Voltron, here are the cons : Didn't get the teasing tremors before the launch, as seen on some videos, and I was a bit disappointed about that, but it's not a big deal, maybe the park decided to inhibit this system due to technical issues, I don't know. Just after Eejanaika, Voltron is the most intense rollercoaster I've ever ridden. It doesn't prevent the ride from being one of the best machines in Europe right now. Loved it and would reride it for sure. Its flaws are minor. The lightning effect before the launch is fabulous! I recommend to go and experience Voltron by yourselves!

    Komfort Ejectors Hangtime

    I can never get enough of this Intamin masterpiece! The theming is very immersive, very detailed, with lots of puns all the way. It's smooth and comfortable, it really feels like flying. Hang times and airtime are powerful, and the backwards section is a bliss. IMO, there are no dead spots, the pace is here all along the layout . It's by far my number one coaster among any other, even if I really was impressed by Eejanaika in Fujikyu Highland, which is out of this world, but I love the smoothness and grace of Toutatis so much that it can't be dethroned for the moment in my ranking. I rode it 6 times, and always felt this enthusiasm every time. Only the park closing prevented me from riding a seventh time on this day. This ride is even more magical at sunset or at night. I might change my mind if one day I ride Velocicoaster, who knows?! Intamin is an elite coaster manufacturer anyway, the best in my opinion and according to my experience in roller coasters. Edit June 2024: His Majesty Toutatis was sooooo powerful on my last 3 rides, almost angry, it was hot and nervous, and still gracious yet whippy. And that station, the trains and the soundtrack in the station... What an inspiring ambience... It's still my #1 to date, even after riding Voltron, which I loved, but gives quite different sensations. Don't get me wrong, I love Voltron, but I must say that after more than 50 rides, Toutatis remains my #1, because I love the way it feels. To me, Toutatis offers a variety of features in its layout, and the trim on the top hat is enjoyable, it even adds to the pace IMO, as a kind of break before it starts again, it makes you feel like you're hanging, in a well calculated amount of time. It's not a con but more of a pro now, IMO, if I caught the intention properly, and I really appreciate it by now. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. This coaster is a real masterpiece and justifies for itself the annual pass I subscribed for this year. I rode great coasters this year, but none was able to dethrone this graceful and powerful baby. If you like the station's music, which is a pure wonder, it's available on YouTube, search for Toutatis Tumulus, it's an official soundtrack by Parc Astérix official.

    What a beast of a machine! Monster is surprisingly smooth for its age, and knowing about its history! The layout is nothing like I've ever experienced from a B&M, it's a monster of intensity, with a surprising layout! I rode it 3 times and greyed out at the exit of the first loop. It's great at the front, and even more powerful at the back. The helix and the positive Gs are properly insane! We hardly had to queue, maybe less than 10 minutes on a Saturday. If you happen to be in the area, I recommend that you visit Walygator grand Est, which is a cute park with no crowds, and also features Comet, a Vekoma ride, a drop tower by SNS Sansei, and Anaconda. But the star of the park is obviously Monster!

    Ben j'ai un petit plus pour celui-ci des deux, je l'ai trouvé moins inconfortable. Moins intense que son jumeau, mais intéressant quand même. Peut-être parce que le train vibrait un peu moins ? En tout cas, deux coasters originaux et à faire !

    J'ai été plutôt agréablement surprise par les deux Winja, leur thématique, et la musique en station, qui leur donne une atmosphère mystérieuse et mystique, un peu sombre. L'ascenseur, la première chute, et les rails qui bougent en fin de station en font un ride à la fois étrange et original.

    Je ne trouve pas que ce coaster mérite sa mauvaise réputation, il suffit de bien plaquer sa tête contre le siège (j'ai mis ma tête contre le pad de droite, et en arrière, et franchement, ça va!). Il est joliment thématisé, les sièges avec les pads sont confortables, et il a une belle allure avec ses couleurs qui collent parfaitement au thème, et la zone est joliment fleurie. Il a même une petite atmosphère de Castlevania ! Il est nettement meilleur que Condor à Walibi Holland !

    I was expecting roughness, janky transitions, and that's what I found! The brakes were the best part of the ride. The first drop is quite good though. Vampire in Walibi Belgium shows how much 5 years change the game! Vampire was a good surprise on the opposite was a pleasant surprise, although it was my fear in Walibi Belgium. Condor is a one and done to me!

    Je ne sais que penser, à la fois, j'ai trouvé la thématisation super sympa, originale, et la musique collant parfaitement à une attraction nostalgique, une capsule temporelle sur le thème de la station Mir, très bien réalisé d'ailleurs,mais pu..., c'est quoi ces sièges, et c'est quand même assez brutal ! J'ai ressenti un quasi malaise dans l'helix, que j'ai abordée à l'envers, c'était très étrange, une désorientation de folie ! J'ai de l'affection pour Euromir malgré ça, il m'a marquée durablement, et j'ai encore sa musique dans la tête !

    Je crois que c'est le plus beau coaster que j'ai eu l'occasion de faire, de l'entrée, à la file d'attente, à la station, la thématisation est la plus poussée que j'ai jamais vue, extrêmement immersive, magique. C'ést une véritable expérience en soi. Il est puissant, surtout en fin de journée, où il crache toute sa furie, et ses ejectors sont encore plus forts qu'à froid le matin. A faire absolument !

    Un airtime d'une intensité et d'une longueur que je n'avais encore jamais expérimentés, des trains sublimes, un bon débit, un système de retenue parfait, qui ne vous laisse pas respirer, j'ai adoré. La chute est impressionnante, du haut de ses 73 mètres, et l'airtime vous fait véritablement voler de votre siège ! Seul bémol, une vibration présente mais supportable, le ride est assez court, donc ça n'est pas si gênant (ridé 5 fois à l arrière, au milieu, et deuxième rangée).

    I used to find this ride a bit too rough, and felt nauseous after a few seconds, but my 2 last rides were a lot better: I sat a bit more forward, putting my hips at the front, which allowed me to gain some extra space, until the belt checking by the staff, and releasing it. I gained the 2/3 centimeters that are a game changer to me, because this way, you are not stappled against your seat, and it makes the ride a lot more enjoyable. A game changer in my opinion. Riding it backwards is a must do, since you can't anticipate the layout, unless you know it. It was really good! I understand why people queue for this ride, it's very intense, and d the theming is beautiful. Edit : ridden on January 7th 2024, I applied the tip of saving some space between me and the lapbar, and I really enjoyed the ride. 3rd row. The bank turn offered me a great floater time, and some nice airtime moments. It has definitely risen up in my personal ranking.

    Good old Goudurix, although it's rough, it's intense and a classical feature of the park. I guess that if the trains were changed, and there was a lapbar instead of those shoulder restraints, it would be great. It's been here since the beginning, so, it really deserves new trains. I like it anyway...

    This ride has a monster of a launch, I didn't expect it to be so intense, and it's followed by a steep climbing and an interesting layout. It rattles a bit, but this is not what I dislike the most. The restraints are not adapted to the layout, and if you are not aware of where to brace in order to save your head from the slaps, your head will bang. You can hardly avoid them unless you are 2 meters tall. I rode it three times, once at the front, twice at the back, and it doesn't make a noticeable difference. I liked it though, and the dispatch was efficient. I liked the design of the trains, and the pace was really good. Overall, I liked it.

    I wanted to ride it no matter how long I would have stayed in line, and I must say it was quite a long queue, but even if the capacity is awful like in every theme park in Japan, I must say I'm glad I rode it. The first drop is breathtaking, and when the train passes through the building and the big wheel, it's quite impressive. It's a bit short though and I would have loved to ride it twice, but considering the line, I gave up. It's a good Intamin ride, and a technical prowess in my opinion to build a coaster like this in such a place, right in the middle of Tokyo. I might ride it again next time I come back to Japan, but never again in summertime, it was too hot and humid, and too busy. I loved the way it was lit at night, adding some dimension to the ride.

    I love this powerful launch followed by the sea serpent, and I acknowledge the effort made to add some decor lately. I must say that I preferred the previous theming, which allowed to have a different soundtrack (5 different) , I was a big fan of rock'n'roller coaster, it was original and really fun. Hearing Steven Tyler shouting before the launch was really thrilling. But I'm getting used to Avengers campus, the theming is not bad at all, but the storytelling is always the same... But I must say that it's Disneyland Paris' most exciting coaster, and the short queues allowed me to ride it 7 times, among which 5 times in a row.

    This ride is what we came for. And we were not disappointed. It's well themed, beautiful, the music is immersive, and what a unique layout, what an intensity, what a surprise at each ride, 5 times ridden, 5 different rides. The music adds an epic dimension to this beautiful, gracious however insanely powerful machine. The seats are comfortable, beautiful, the harnesses are perfect, just as needed, and they allow you feel dropping off of your seat but safe at the same time. The ejectors and hang times are insane, the launches are exactly the amount needed. Loved it. It was a unique experience, with almost hardly any queue today. As astonishing and unique as Eejanaika to me. Be aware that in case of strong winds, it might close.

    I'd never heard my son screaming in a coaster before riding Eejanaika! Which means a lot! This ride in unreal! Soooo special! The first drop backwards and the seat spinning facing the ground is absolutely crazy! You must know that you have to remove any loose object, including your jewelry and shoes before riding! Be prepared for this crazy ride! On clear days, Fujisan is visible from the whole park, and it really feels almost like a spiritual experience. You can literally hear people saying "kowai" (I'm scared) when their turn is approaching. This ride is insanely good. I rank it second just ride behind my number Toutatis, but to be honest, to me, it's beyond ranking. It's a proper experience of its own.
