Flucht Von Novgorod • Hansa Park

Nice surprise! Layout Ejectors

An amazing roller coaster that is almost just as good as Der Schwur Des Kärnan! It has superb theming. And the finale was so wonderful, just how could they fit those intense elements in that small place in the dark? Just spectacular!

Theming Inversions Ejectors Disappointing!

Don't read reviews. Don't watch POVs. Don't do research. Decent coaster with good theming, that's all you need to know. ___ALERT, SPOILERS AHEAD___. This is the coaster with the best onride storytelling I've ever ridden. Theming is some of the best: great atmospheric queue enhanced by those creepy sounds, great station and nice (very) little dark ride portion at the beginning. Then a sudden small drop into the launch, completely dark, and you turn right and rush into blinding daylight, into that super powerful ejector hill. Then some mediocre layout and a "final" inversion, a very well paced heartline roll wich is taken at the exactly perfect speed. One of my favourite inversions. And then, another one of the surprises for first-timers, the vertical lift inside the tower with another show scene and some projections. A steep drop and a couple of turns in pitch black. And it's suddenly over. One of the most unique coasters I've ever ridden, and I only wish my German was better in order to understand the show scenes. It has a horrible pacing due to the many stops to tell the story, but it doesn't matter, as this isn't a regular roller coaster. It's a storytelling experience, the coaster is just a side part. However, that first camelback and that elite inversion are really awesome. The rest of the layout is just there, doesn't really provide any forces, but it's okay. Nevertheless, the launch heavily disappointed me. I'd heard it is the world's most powerful LSM, so expectations were high, but I didn't really feel it that much. It's good, but nothing too crazy. Maybe it was an issue of expectations, but I'd swear I felt Anubis' launch at Plopsaland more powerful. The drop wasn't my favourite, either, too abrupt and less enjoyable in the darkness, but it was fun. Another con was that, for some reason, this coaster left me slightly nauseous, but I don't know exactly why. Abrupt force changes, disorienting dark part, long show while on the lift? Could be. Anyway, this is an awesome ride with some of the best theming I've ever seen.

Theming Launch Hangtime

I didn't do any research going into this, and it's an awesome first launch, hits just as hard as Huis van Anubis at Plopsaland, which definitely pushes you back in your seat. The layout is pretty good, though a little forgettable compared to the great theming. The exit is a maze, but I was through it real quickly haha! This is the first time I have been on a vertical lift and I absolutely love the somewhat hangtime you get on it, almost feels like you are slowly sliding out on your back! Also super interesting for a ride to have both a chainlift and a LSM launch.

Theming Launch Layout Harness

"Fluch(t) von Novgorod" is a very good and unique rollercoaster with world class theming, a launch that is always fun and an awesome beyond vertical drop in the dark. One could say it is a bit too short but I feel the elements are very well balanced out. The general layout is very nice, but I think the coaster would be better if it had a lap bar. The shoulder harness on these coasters is atrocious. Not only can't you move your arms around but you always have the neighbour's elbow in your arm. Although I have already seen worse restraints by the likes of Vekoma (e. g. Express Platform 13). Nevertheless it sadly disrupts the experience. The launch is superb and one of the best I have experienced, the subsequent airtime hill is very good and would be excellent if the coaster would be reimplemented with lap bars. The pretzel-turn (in German: Buchtknoten) is kind of there. It doesn't annoy but it is not that great either. The beyond vertical drop in the tower is awesome though and makes this ride more fun. Overall the ride is definitely worth one or two rides on your visit but "Der Schwur des Kärnan" does many things better (especially the restraints) than "Fluch von Novgorod". But it is still very unique and feels like a relatively relaxing experience in contrast to "Der Schwur des Kärnan".

Theming Nice surprise! Layout Capacity

Flucht von Novgorod is a amazing coaster. The launch is really good. And it runs really smoothly. The theming is good and the part after the lift hill was such a good suprise. The only big downside is it's capacity...

Theming Launch Intensity

Just wow, this coaster blew me away every time I went on it I thought the same thing it can't be as good as last time but it was the combination of an electrifying launch greater time. Amazing themeing has a good whip, especially on the inversion the beyond vertical drop in the dark is madness 9.5/10 the only way would you make this right better is replacing the over the shoulder restraints with lap bars, other than that masterpiece

Theming Nice surprise! Launch Too short

A very fun experience, though a very short one. The launch feels very nice and if you're not familiar with the coaster, comes by a bit of a surprise. I just wish it would've had a longer layout in its outside section, as well as its 2nd inside section. Nonetheless it's a fun experience which I'd be sad to miss out on when going to Hansa Park.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Launch Capacity

Easily my favorite Euro-Fighter. The launch is very sudden and very powerful, gets me every time! The hill that follows gives some great airtime and the portion in the dark is really thrilling because you can't see where you're going. Theming and soundtrack are great as with a lot of the rides at Hansa Park.

Airtimes Theming Smoothness Headbanging Too short Capacity

Possibly the best Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter out there. Nice combination of darkride sections, a really powerful launch and a vertical lift with a beyond vertical drop in the dark behind it. However, both three sections are pretty short. It's really smooth, but you can get some headbanging at the section just before the vertical lift. Theming is insane. Brakes kick in very hard at the end.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Launch Too short Capacity

This ride is very well themed and so the time in the queue line is entertaining. The launch is very good followed by a great airtime and a well paced track (which is unfortunately a bit short) and then you enter the tower with a short darkride. This is a great ride with the best theming I have ever seen. Unfortunately the capacity is also very poor with 360 people per hour (measured by stop watch with 3 trains running)

First Drop Theming Launch

Perfect ride! Lot of Airtime and nice theming!

Theming Nice surprise! Launch Dead spots

Loved the Launch, Airtimehill, Heartline-Roll and Drop, but the long Turnaround-Element does nothing. Theming is also great.

Theming Launch Layout

Fluch von Novgorod works extremely well as a supporting ride to Karnan in the same park, but it’s still a great experience on its own. The launch is one of the best I’ve done, and the layout is great also, even if it struggles a bit in the middle. The indoor section adds a nice touch, and the result of all of these parts is an awesome ride that I really enjoy.

First Drop Theming Masterpiece

Sehr schöne Anlage von Gerstlauer! Der Launch ballert einfach ins Unermessliche und der Indoor Part ebenso! Der Outdoor Part ist gut, da könnte aber noch ein kleiner Ticken mehr. An sich aber eine sehr gute Bahn!

Theming Launch Masterpiece Capacity

Just awesome. Always fun to ride, theming is AWESOME and I have nothing to complain about. For sure the best Euro-Fighter!

Theming Nice surprise! Launch Harness

Great launch, good theming and an awsome dispatch soundtrack. The second part is a big surprise! In the front row there is a little bit of headbanging, but the second row is smoother. And there is even a good pop of airtime!

Theming Intensity

I think that Once Fluch Von Novgorod was build, it was a good coaster that park owners had to say: "Ok, we should do the same thing but bigger and better." And that was a time when incredible Karnan was born. This coaster is pretty good. It has two parts, it has airtime, intensity and good theming. I would love it even more if there would be a lap bar instead of shoulder restraints.

Theming Launch Rattle Layout

Very surprising launch and great theming & story.The Layout isn't that great in my opinion.

Launch Fun Layout Capacity Dead spots

What a fantastic ride! Great theming and that launch is something else! suprides by the forces. The (short) section in the dark is amazing cause is plays with your mind. I want to get back to this park just for this ride. (Sitenote: The photo flash is WAY to bright)

Theming Launch Fun Capacity Dead spots

A really cool coaster that can impress with a solid storyline, good theming and an absolutely insane launch. The ride has a very strange and unconventional layout which combined with the theming makes it an unforgettable experience. The only negative point is that the part between the first airtime hill and the heartline roll doesn't do much. Still, the overall experience is good enough to make up for that. Highlights are that launch, the top of the drop and the exit ;)

Theming Launch Intensity Rattle Too short

The theming and story behind it is fantastic, but I was a little disappointed by the ride itself: it is quite short, and the number of elements is rather low, plus there is a quite noticable rattle especially in the iconic element called "Buchtknoten". But these cons are compensated by a really forceful launch, an overall high intensity plus the atmosphere in the darkride part.

Theming Comfort Launch Rattle

Incredible good ride with lots of theming. The Launch is fast and the top hat gives some nice ejector airtime. After the Lift does not happen a lot but that doesn't make the ride any less good.

Theming Comfort Launch Rattle Too short Layout

Fantastic second major coaster at Hansa-Park. Comfortable seats and in the first row you got almost nothing in front of you. Pre-show is nice with some animatronics and glass holograms, but I do have to say I expected a little bit more. This is made up for by the amazing launch after that. You take a little dip into the dark and then - still in the dark - you are just slammed into your seats. Pretty intense. Airtime hill is great, the major knot element is alright, but could have been better (i.e. a little less sluggish/slow). Final Inversion is fun. Best part follows now in the dark, though. A vertical lift hill and then an amazing steeper-than-vertical drop followed by a fast section of track in complete darkness. That's some serious ending. Great coaster, great theming, could be a little less rattly, though, it is quite noticeable here.

shoulder straps annoying

Best Eurofighter in the world!

One of the most mediocre coasters in the world, but looking at Gerstlauer's track record still one of my top Gerstlauers.
