Achterbahn Rezensionen

Spaß Kapazität

My first ever VR experience on a roller coaster. But because everyone needs to be fitted with a headset, the wait time is a lot longer than you would expect for the number of people in the queue. During the ride I really enjoyed it, the VR experience is pretty immersive and quite funny at times. The VR is really well synchronized with the layout of the ride. But when we got off, I felt really wobbly and I had to sit down for a moment or two to get my head straight again. If I ever ride it again, I will probably experience it without the headset.

Enttäuschend! Unangenehm

When we went on it was a walk-on. At first that seemed like a good thing because this is hardly a memorable ride. After the backward part I felt slightly sick. And then (because there was nobody waiting) operations thought to do us a favour to let it ride a second round! Needless to say I was NOT amused, even the forward part increased my nausea. I'm sure to skip this one the next time I visit Phantasialand.

Komfort Intensität

I guess I'm just not so keen on inverted coasters. But this one is perhaps the smoothest I've ridden. But after I felt slightly nauseous, I suppose because you never see where you're going.

I had really high expectations for Taron, apparently too high because the first ride in the morning it just didn't live up to those expectations. Don't get me wrong, it's a great ride with some good airtime moments and some whippy turns, and both launches are great, but it's just not as spectacular as I had hoped for. We rode it again late in the afternoon and then it felt a lot better, it had become noticeably faster and it was a lot punchier. But it's easily the best coaster in the park, and maybe I'm just too critical...

We rode this 2 times. Our first ride was in the back part of the train and it totally exceeded expectations. With 3 lift hills it's a long ride and compared to other mine trains it's the best I've ridden so far. The second ride later in the day was near the front which was not so much fun, you're going over the hills at slow speed and only speeds up when you're well over them.

Thematisierung Sanftheit Unangenehm

First of all, the position your body is in was for me a real gamebreaker. I'm tall (1,94) and not very slender so I felt like I was lying on my stomach. Also because you're looking up all the time, my neck hurt a bit. But apart from that, this is a pretty good ride! My first ride of the day was in the morning in front row and it was amazing! The constant near-misses you experience are great. I rode it a second time later in the day and we ended up in the back row. More G's which also meant more discomfort and I didn't enjoy it quite as much (perhaps also caused by the fact that before, we rode the Crazy Bats VR experience which made me slightly nauseous).

It's a pretty intense ride for a mine train. The lap bar allows for a lot of lateral movement, and it was fun up until there was a certain turn to the left where I got smashed into the right side of the train. It gave me a bruise that hurt for 3 days (at first I thought I had broken a rib but luckily it wasn't that bad).

Schoßbügel Abschuss

Really nice coaster! Operations were pretty bad (lots of empty seats on each ride, sometimes even completely empty rows), they only allowed people into the station after the train left. First opening day of the season though, so they might need to get a little more experienced. Not too big a crowd so the queue never was more than 20 minutes, even with these operations. I like the triple launch with some pretty nice hangtime in the backrow, and the final corkscrew has a really nice whip to it if you're on the outside seats in the frontrow, so make sure to ride back and front!

Abschuss Zu kurz Kapazität Enttäuschend!

This was by far the longest queue of all the coasters in Toverland, and it's really not worth it. The launch is forceful but the rest of the ride is pretty uneventful.

It's the first time I rode a spinning coaster and it was great fun, with some pretty intense moves. But me being 1,94m I could just squeeze myself in the seat, with my knees forced against the front. Also no audio but I'm not sure if that's a great loss.

Airtimes First Drop Intensität Rütteln Unangenehm

Despite it being a pretty rough ride (even more in the front than in the back), I still really liked riding this. The layout is great and it is really fast-paced, later in the day even faster. Great operations.

First Drop Komfort Intensität Zu kurz

Rode it 7 times today. Best seat is on the left wing, and in the front. Great ride! Very smooth, great operations. It's just a bit too short.

Spaß Rütteln Unangenehm

I do like this ride, especially the backwards part. It does have quite some rattle though but it didn't really annoy me. What did annoy me was that after only 2 rides I got a bit of a headache.

Thematisierung

First of all, the theming of this ride is great. What makes me wonder is why they make everyone wait in the first room, when after that there's a well-themed queue part that goes on forever where you are now rushed through to get to the train. The queue and the start of the ride is indoors but most of the ride is outdoors over the water. I enjoyed the ride but it feels a bit 'standard'.

Airtimes Kapazität

Very smooth ride. The middle seats are maybe even a bit too smooth. The left front seat is definitely the best, it gives you the best wing-effect as it is mostly the 'outer' wing. We were in line 30 minutes before closing when the park was emptying and at that very moment the staff decided to pull out a train which stalled the whole thing for almost 15 minutes. Really a bummer because otherwise we could have done another ride after this one. So that's a big BOOO to operations!

Airtimes

This ride feels so fast! It just smashes through the curves, sometimes really pushes you into your seat, and at other times shoots you up forcefully.

Airtimes Ejectors Rückhaltebügel

Easily the best ride in Walibi Holland! It runs so smooth and every element just works. The first (double) inversion is great! If I had to say anything negative about it, it's the harness. It really pushes your feet back under you and it can be a bit painful on the shins. But apart from that, WOW!
