Raik • Phantasialand

Theming Discomfort

New style Vekoma shuttle family coaster. Great theming. Not very comfortable for a six foot guy

Theming Smoothness Too short

Raik is unfortunately less than the little brother of Taron. Perfectly embedded into Klugheim-Theme, the ride would have deserved a longer Layout und a bit more intensity. Even for a family Boomerang Raik is too short.

Theming Too short Layout

I was very disappointed in this one. It stands next to Taron, one of my favorite coasters, but it's like the opposite of all the fun I had on that coaster. I'm going to skip this one on my next visit, I think.

Location Smoothness Too short

Nice little Vekoma Family Boomerang that pulls some nice positives and is very smooth, but it's a little on the short side. An upside being the location: it is right next to Taron, one of the best coasters I've ever ridden. A downside: it is right next to Taron, so if you don't have the Raik credit already, go ride Taron instead.

Theming Discomfort

The theming was good, but I am just not an fan of Vekoma family boomerang and the normal boomerang coaster (the giant inverted are great)

Theming Fun

It was such an empty day that the wait was always under five minutes. My first ride was a walk-on, and I had lots of chances to re-ride without barely waiting. However, I didn't. This comes to show how underwhelming Raik was. Well, maybe an important factor is that whenever I came close to Raik, Taron was there as well, with usually less than 20 min. wait, so, why go on Raik instead? Anyway, this boomerang's theming is as great as expected, since it's right into beautiful Klugheim, and I really love both the ride's and the area's storyline (it's there on the Internet, though quite difficult to find). The green-red lights at the station are a nice gimmick. Overall, enjoyable familly ride, but not much more.

I don't much enjoy these family boomerang rides, the trains are pretty cramped for the taller person, and the backwards bit never agrees with me much. However Raik gets points for continuing the areas spectacular theming, and for it's interaction with Taron. Also credit to the park for installing a decent family coaster as well as their flagship thrill ride. One and done, but at least it looks great. On a quiet day, you may also get lucky and go round twice. Never seen a boomerang operate like that, so fair play to them!

well themed of course but a very basic layout. I’m used to boomerangs that loop but this is a family one. Not bad but nothing special

Theming Too short Disappointing! Discomfort

I thought i would like this more than I did. it was my first time on a boomerang and I think I just don't like the backwards section.. i was expecting more from it tbh. I didn't really enjoy it. Nice interaction with Taron, but wasn't anything special.

Good family ride. The theming makes it better than Boomerang in Energylandia.

Fun

Solid Family Boomerang. In my case today it went twice right after eachother, I don't know if this is normal, but it was a quiet day. Sadly I was still motion sick from Crazy Bats' VR Experience. This made me feel the last corner in reverse absolutely reverse my stomach, which felt very unnatural. It's a fun coaster tho! :3

When I rode this it was actually so quiet that we got two rides for one. Made the fact it’s so short a little better. Enjoyed it!

Theming Smoothness Rattle Too short

For a family ride its pretty good with a highly immersive theming like Taron. The ride might get too scary for little kids since its still pretty thrilling. What I liked is, that they do let the train do 2 laps now. Sadly I think that the ride got a slight rattle/vibration over the time and not as smooth as before.

Theming Smoothness Discomfort

Great theming and a very smooth ride but why does this coaster have shin guards which are so small? They are very uncomfortable and painful. Those shin guards could really be a bit bigger

Comfort Layout

I'm not keen on shuttle coaster even if this one is well themed and comfortable

Theming Fun Discomfort

It's good for a family coaster, but the restraints can be very uncomfortable.

Theming Location Capacity Intensity

The setting underneath Taron is really nice and the queue as well as the trains are well themed, the coaster was a little disappointing: it is rather tame and the layout nothing too spectacular. Longer than 20 minutes waiting time is not worth for this ride...

Theming Fun Capacity Discomfort

Fun family coaster! But as a tall person the shin restraints squeezed me in and made me feel way to uncomfortable.

Too short Disappointing! Pointless

I do not want to sound too harsh, but I am only able to review this from my own standpoint and not trying to think about what the target audience might feel about it. That being said, I found it extremely short, uninspired and I truly did not care for it at all. Only beautiful effect was the smoke coming out of the front of the train. Very underwhelmed even going in with family coaster expectations. Ride is smooth, though - new Vekoma track seems to be fine.

Top Family coaster. Route unfortunately short

Oh well it's a family boomerang. It's good for it's target audience.

Well, Junior Boomerangs are ok. This scores with the Klugheim setting build around it.
