Lech Coaster • Legendia

Airtimes Location Intensity Harness

This is the most intense coaster I've ridden by far. From the first drop all the way to the twisty I heavily greyed out every single ride, even in the morning rides, where the train wasn't even half full of riders. The first drop is phenomenal in the last row, and the airtime during the ride was very strong. In the morning it was just a good coaster, but it warmed up massively during the day, so in the afternoon it was flying through the layout. In my last rides of the day I was greying out 70% of the layout, it was ridiculous. Surreal coaster, but the over the shoulder restraints prevent it from being even better

This ride is absolutely insane and the best Vekoma that I've done. It feels like a much longer and more intense RMC raptor in a way. The ejector on this ride is incredible (especially that drop), each of the inversions are awesome (especially that one over the station), and the positives on this thing absolutely crush your bones. Awesome ride and the second best in Poland.

First Drop Masterpiece Ejectors

Lech is a world-class rollercoaster the way it blends inversions with air time and whip is amazing the first drop sprovides amazing air time and whip the first inversion is incredibly intense then you go into a twisted Hill which is incredible and then you have one of the best airtime Hills I've ever done before you even have time to recover you're palled into your first roll which takes you through the station building which is really neat but also intense then you do an overbanks turn followed by low to the ground whip and then another air time moment then you have one more inversion which is great when you have two more airtime moments the last one is incredible one of my favourites personally this ride is awesome no matter what row your in but the back is obviously more intense and then again you get better interactions with the station interaction and increasing the speed so it's up to you really so to summarise the air time is super aggressive but the main thing I love about this ride is the whip and intensity. Favourite elements are the final twisted hill first twisted hill the first drop the Airtime hill into roll the twisted hill before the third invasion, literally the whole ride to be fair, not an element went to waste

Airtimes First Drop Duration Harness Intensity

Good solid smooth ride but the loop after the first drop is intense.

Pace Intensity Layout

Lech Coaster is a wild ride with high G-forces, whippy transitions, and ejector moments. The train smoothly navigates through the compact and twisty layout, which, however, does not diminish its high intensity. The fast paced elements relentlessly follow one another, and within a few seconds, the ride is over. After 7 rounds, my stomach felt a bit queasy, but the coaster is incredibly fun, with the personal highlight being the half barrel roll through the station which leads to the absolutely crazy section behind the building. An aggressive Vekoma ride which would feel even better with only lap bars instead of the additional Vekoma shoulder straps.

First Drop Fun Smoothness

Good coaster but less intense that I thought, based on community reviews

First Drop Intensity Ejectors Intensity

Lech pulls alot of Gs. They are not only intense, but als sustained what had me graying out alot. The valley After the First dive loop and the whole sequence behind the Station building are the most intense Parts For me. The Final Helixes are really tight and make a fitting Finale, but its not really reridable for me due to the sheer force of this thing. Amazing aggression in this ride, one of a Kind coaster

First Drop Intensity Layout

The best Vekoma!

First Drop Intensity Ejectors Layout

This ride is insane. By far the most intense coaster I've ridden. That first drop gives amazing ejector combined with amazing laterals. But then comes the best moment on Lech Coaster: all the way from the pullout of the first drop to the first airtime hill, this ride offers very, VERY strong positives. So strong and so sustained in fact that I came close to blacking out. Luckily the airtime hill comes just in time to prevent me from blacking out. I love getting a grey-out on a coaster and Lech Coaster does this perfectly, 'rescuing' you just in time before it gets too much. Another strong sustained ejector hill follows and then comes the corkscrew through the station, which gives some great views. After this point however, Lech Coaster kinda dies off for me. The rest of the layout doesn't have a lot of variety, just a few twists and turns with the occasional airtime hill thrown in. These airtime hills aren't as good as in the first half, they're less sustained while I prefer some more sustained airtime. There are some great positives here as well, giving me slight grey-outs, but they're just not as intense as the first half. The first half before the station fly-through is absolute perfection, but the second half just left me a little disappointed and I wish this half was more like the first. Lech Coaster is a great ride but I definitely don't think it's the world-class coaster a lot of people seem to give it credit for.

Airtimes Masterpiece Intensity

Everything this ride does it does perfect, I could have given it almost every green box of pros! Vest restraints are comfy and don't ruin the ride at all, great drop, amazing positives mixed with fantastic airtime. The layout is also great and the inversions flow really well. To me this is THE example of how to build a perfect coaster right now.

First Drop Inversions Intensity Airtimes

Really good ride but not the one i prefer. No airtime at all. Alot of positive forces from the pullout to the first inversion. Grayed out every time. Nothing for the big crowd. My girlfriend didn't want to ride it more than two times. It is smooth, it is intense but I think it's overrated.

Airtimes First Drop Fun

Great compact coaster, has everything in it. Great first drop,inversions,speed,airtime...Loved it!!!

First Drop Intensity Smoothness Airtimes

AMAZING, unbelievable, twisty, greyout inducing first drop. Super re-ridable. I was craving for some more airtime but the first drop and the fun factor makes it something you just want to keep riding all day. We did it all afternoon with my little brother, I definitely recommend buying the unlimited (actually valid for 999 rides) fastpass and coming to this park only for this coaster. I don't understand how this piece of art ended up here. The coaster is built on the lakeside and it looks gorgeous. Definitely a backrow ride, much more intense there, but the view of the first drop is something worth checking in the first row too.

First Drop

A very smooth ride that has a fun layout and a good first drop but it is just too tame to be considered a stand out coaster. I think some of the airtime moments would have probably delivered more with lap bars instead of vest restraints. A good family coaster rather than a top thrill ride.

First Drop Intensity Layout

Lech Coaster truely is a sign of intent from Vekoma. This ride absolutely took me by surprise on my first rides on it. The first thing that goes through my mind with Lech is "holy heck this thing is intense" and boy when I say intense, I mean intense!!. Lech is a consistent grey out machine and had me greying out at several points in its layout namely at the bottom of its incredible first drop which was sustained all the way through to the pull out of its first inversion. The intensity of it is that strong that it renders it quite hard for me to marathon it. That does not take anything from the ride though. As I mentioned, the first drop is incredible. One of the best drops out there at the moment especially when sat in the back. I also must praise Vekoma on the vest restraint they use for Lech. Whereas the vests on B&M coasters such as Banshee,Valravn and Valkyria take away massively from those rides in terms of restricting you from enjoying some airtime, Lechs loose vests allow you to enjoy every last second of airtime the ride throughs at you. All in all, a splendid coaster and most certainly Vekomas best.

First Drop Theming Ejectors Too short Capacity

Such an overrated coaster that doesn’t deserve it’s spot in the top 50 I’m sorry for the fans! not as intense as people are saying. It’s a fun ride, nothing more, nothing less. Also it’s not B&M smooth as i read people say this x).

Intensity Smoothness Layout

I could add many more pros to the ones mentioned above becaus this ride is incredibly good: First of all, the overall apperance is beautiful with the small castle and the lake. The queue is also really nice, it even has a small preshow room. The trains look awesome and they are really comfortable with the vest restraints. The layout leaves nothing to desire, there is a whippy first drop, some very intense turns (I even noticed a slight greyout in one of them), great airtime and three inversions - the one through the castle above the station is a really fantastic interaction with the station building. Additionally, the pacing and smoothness is superb, so this is one of my favourite coasters and I would love to see many more of these new generation Vekomas in Europe.

Inversions Masterpiece Smoothness

Lech coaster is a firm statement from Vekoma that their newer manufacturing techniques can land knock out blows on rival manufacturers. At the cost of what some parks would use to deploy an extensive flat ride or small scale dark ride, Legendia have worked with Vekoma to produce an incredible value for money Bermuda Blitz model. A turning point for the park in terms of theming, Lech is not only the headlining ride of the park, but also makes swift work of trumping the much newer Hyperion at nearby Energylandia. It’s the pinnacle statement from Vekoma that their new track and trains are leagues ahead of their previous efforts. Lech makes all B&M wing coasters feel like cheap, Pinfari rattle traps. The entire ride is smoother than silk, traversing its layout like an ice skater gliding across black ice with a degree of courage, ferocity but also a dash of grace as well. It pulls you down its first drop with a great deal of airtime, especially towards the back, before blitzing straight into the sidewinder. Lech ventures into i305 territory for its intense exit to the sidewinder, inducing varying levels of grey outs. Yet following straight on from this, an elegant turn over the lake before pulling through a roll directly over the station roof. The transition is so smooth you simply can’t feel it occurring, almost as if being inverted by magic. The following sections right up to the on-ride photo are carried out addictive speed and demonstrates no signs of stopping, effortlessly tumbling you through the final corkscrew with a delightful decorum. Even after this, Lech still refuses to lose any steam, traversing an outward banked dive and a series of sweeping turns back to the brake run. Even the ending is done with such smoothness that it’s difficult to comprehend it just happened. Lech is everything a great roller coaster should be. The pacing is consistent and continuous, keeping you hooked high on its ecstasy as it shows you what Vekoma’s modern engineering is capable of. An airtime machine combined with inversions that have been seemingly crafted by mythical gods of the roller coaster world, all whilst doing so in a quiet and humble manner. It doesn’t look intimidating, nor does it look timid. Lech strikes the finest palette taste for roller coasters; a catalyst for some of the best things you could ask for on a coaster. The trains are comfortable and well built. Whilst there is room for improvement in perhaps the unnecessary need for the vests, they’re hardly offensive when compared to those of B&M’s wing coasters, and the theming shows that Legendia have the ability to leave their fairground heritage in the past and continue to craft well designed experiences.

Perfect

First Drop Intensity Layout

Was not ready for such an intense ride. Greyed out multiple times every ride. Thought it was going to be similar to Abyssus but no. This ride is brutal. The first drop in the back is one of the best.

First Drop Fun Intensity Capacity

From my 11 rides, I was greying out 8 times, everytime right after the first inversion. Before I rode this coaster I greyed out just 2 times in my whole life on a roller coaster. The first drop is one of my favourite - best seat for the best punch is in the last car on the left seat. It throws you even more to the side than on Expedion GeForce, but the vests take the feeling out for a little bit. It is definitely the best Vekoma coaster in Poland. What is a huge con from me - operations. Even on busy day Legendia runs just one train with just two operators in the station. With Lech being the main attraction in the park that is definitely improper.

First Drop Intensity Smoothness

This is definitely a front row coaster. Very smooth, quite intense after the first drop and first inversion, and with some small moments of airtime. Ride it at the end of your day, the difference between a morning and an evening run is enormous.

Intensity Smoothness Layout

Lech coaster is so much fun, and the first ride to give me greyout on every single ride. The positives aren't that intenses, but sustained enough for you to get little stars in your head and even lost the vision like a true big badass coaster, WOW. The smoothness is exemplary, it's like skateboarding on marble (even if it had rattles at some rides in the end of the day but this might be occured by the gear and wheels), the layout isn't really focused on something in particular, it's diverse, melting inversions with pace, snappy transition, banked turns and valleys sucking you in your seat and some airtime, but this is not a negative g machine at all. Such a shame the operators don't really take care of the train, they don't buckle up the seatbelts, so it's banging everywhere on the seats and cause some consequents damages with the time.

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors

This ride was unbelievable. I'had heared that this ride was supposed to be good but I did not see that comming. The layout is compact and packs a punch while keeping the intensity up from the first drop up to the brakerun. The layout takes you through amazing sustained ejector moments, fantastic off axis ejector, forceful positives and some of the best flowing inversions that provide fantastic whip. The ride is amazing in every seat (back and front are superior to middle but the difference is a lot smaller than on most other coasters). The setting is what completes the package. From the top of the lifthill you get to see over the lake of legendia, the rest of the park and the city of Katowice followed by the intense ride set mainly above water. This ride gets very close to what I would describe as the perfect coaster.

+ Great intense Ride + Good Airtime moments - would be a little bit better with lap bars!

Location Pace Layout Too short

Lech is an amazing coaster, that only narrowly misses the 5-star-category, mainly because of its duration. The theming of the ride and the station is well done and the trains are really comfortable, despite the relatively tight shoulder restraints. A fast lift carries you up to the first drop, which is one of my favourite drops ever. It's got that Expedition-Geforce-style twist, but is also so steep, that you are flung out of your seats and into the restraints like crazy. What follows is an excellently flowing mix of inversions and great airtime moments, tight corners and all of it in a very compact layout. This means pretty strong G-forces, but I personally did not find them to be stupidly extreme, as people often say. I have had no problem with re-rides, but some people in our group have reported the same kind of grey-outs other people talked about. A highlight moment of the ride is the station-fly-through, which is great fun for the people in the cue. Pacing in general is perfect and I would consider pacing an outstanding characteristic of the ride. If only it felt a bit longer and bigger, it would venture into the territory of the very best coasters I know.

The ride is absolutely epic. Positive feelings appear before you even ride it. Lech is visible from every place in the park, beautifully located by the lake - it looks magnificent. When you get closer, it is even better: extensive medieval theming based on legend of Lech, who is considered as the first Polish ruler looks really well. But let's go to the mertis: the trains are the newest design from Vekoma and are really comfortable.After the start you have a few moments to enjoy the views and then the sensational ride begins: first drop is a masterpiece. And I really mean masterpiece. But the best thing is that the rest of the ride is extremely intense, with constant action, 3 great inversions, airtimes and lots of positive G's. The pace is great, and you can really feel the speed because majority of the ride is close the the ground, with some great sections over the lake too. Whole ride is very, very smooth, which is totally different from old Vekoma coasters. This thing is an example of how compact-size steel roller coaster should be designed.

Theming Masterpiece Layout

Absolutely Epic Ride! Great theming, great 1st drop, love the barrel roll through the station, unbelievable views and basically no queues. Also Re-rides are allowed. Managed 8 rides on the coaster and 6 in a row. Rode it in the day and dark and its fantastic.

Airtimes First Drop Masterpiece Intensity

An absolutely wonderful coaster. The first drop is insane in the back left seat and the rest of the layout is a fast paced series of high positive Gs, ejector airtime and cool inversions. The track is glass smooth and restraints are very comfortable. The only problem with Lech is that an average person might find it a bit too intense (many people report graying out right after the first drop or the dive loop).

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Intensity

A wonderful new compact design from Vekoma! The first drop, which seems to go directly into the park sea is wonderful, the restraints are the best Vekoma ever made and the ride itself is very smooth. The layout packs quite a punch, because there are some intense ejector moments, narrow turns and a great upside-down station fly-through. The compactness (and with it the increased intensity) is the only minor point I can find at this ride.

Airtimes Comfort Smoothness Capacity

Okay first off, and most importantly, do not be deceived by the storage shed for this ride. It's only got one train, always has and always will. I didn't find that out until after I got to the park, but luckily the ride had no wait. Now, let me start again by saying this ride is amazing, I mean truly truly amazing. A lot of people had complaints about the shaping of these newer Vekoma rides, but I don't really mind that since the ride itself is amazing and it flows really well. Each element transforms into the other perfectly with ease, and I love that about this ride. It's also surprisingly intense, with an estimated G-force of at least 4.5, then again I'm not really sure. The ride is full of positive Gs, and intensity is kinda my thing so I really loved it. Did I mention the drop? No? Well I'm gonna now, because that is without a doubt my favorite drop, stealing that title from I305. The drop just comes out of nowhere, and in the back row you get sustained ejector for like a solid second and a half, which is just amazing. I'm not really a fan of inversions, I mean I could live without them, but Lech has some fantastic inversions. The first kinda-like-a-wraparound-cork after the drop is really great, and intense from start to finish. The roll through the station is great as well, and taken at incredibly high speed. But my favorite was probably the last corkscrew, which just flows perfectly into the turn following and has no lateral jerks at all. The ride also has some extraordinary airtime. Every airtime moment (with the exception of the outwardly banked hill) is ejector, right 'till the very end, even the hop into the brakes. And surprisingly, the vests don't absolutely butcher the airtime, which is always good. Speaking of the vests, the train is actually incredibly comfy. I don't quite like it better than Taron's but I found it to be really nice. Alike Taron, the ride-ops push the restraint as far down as they can, but also alike Taron, it's still really comfy, and doesn't get in the way of the ride at all. It's also really smooth, and I'd never expect that from a Vekoma. It rides so well, but that may be because it's brand new, I don't know. Finally, it has some pretty neat theming from which you get a good few headchoppers, one of which is of course the roll through the station.

Airtimes Inversions Pace Rattle Capacity

A supremely intense coaster, graying me out almost every time right after the Dive Loop. The airtime hops towards the end are very powerful, similar to the best RMC designs. The trackwork is very smooth, not providing any headbanging and only some minor rattle. The layout is impressively compact and offers many crosses and near-misses with the scenery. Vekoma has produced a real winner here!
