Sky Scream • Holiday Park

Theming Intensity Discomfort Lap Bar

why are sky rocket 2s some of the most forceful coasters in the world

Theming Launch Hangtime Too short Lap Bar

As it was my first sky rocket, i was pretty surprised of that ride. The Hangtime was awesome and the launches were pretty strong. It looks stunning from the outside, but also the queue is well done. My only complaints are the restraints that are actually pretty uncomfortable, and also the length of the ride... it´s very short. I heard it´s much more comfortable than most other sky rockets, but that one´s also pretty uncomfortable because your shin always presses in a hard cushion. But it´s anyways a really fun roller coaster with lots of hangtime, good airtime moments, nice theming and powerful launches.

Overall not a bad ride but it comes with some cons: The Lap Bars makes it very uncomfortable to cross the train to store your backpack at the exit side. The ride overall is too short. The Hangtime at the top is nice, but the break before the drop brings the train to an almost full stop which takes away a lot of the trill. The launches forward and backward are okay. At Holiday Park this second coaster was worth to ride once and switch back again to Expedition Geforce.

Harness Disappointing! Discomfort

The whole ride would be fine if it wasn't for the train. It's a pain to walk through the train to store your belongings let alone try to put yourself in it. The lapbar sits in an awkward position meaning that whenever you would get some good air- or hangtime it just becomes painful. If only some European manufacturer can put comfortable trains on a red triple launching rollercoaster...

Airtimes Nice surprise! Hangtime Capacity

I had heard some pretty bad things about this ride, especially about the restraints. Well, Sky Scream really took me by surprise! The restraints didn't bother me that much, they do press up against your legs but it wasn't painful or anything. The ride itself has three powerful launches, great pops of airtime and great hangtime in the in-line twist. Thank goodness it was a walk-on though when I visited Holiday Park, as I cannot imagine capacity being good with only 12 riders per train and one-train ops.

Well, I've heard a lot of negative things about this ride. I personally think this ride is a great, smooth and somewhat comfortable roller coaster with really strong positives, airtime and nice launches. I personally prefer it over Gold Rush at Slagharen.

Theming is surprisingly well done for this park (there are even some shock effects included) and the ride provides very much thrill on a really small footprint - my favourite moments are the heartline roll with excellent hangtime at the highest point of the ride and the following steep drop is especially in the back rows pretty intense. In the front, there is a nice airtime moment before the inversion. In fact, this coaster feels more than a thrilling flatride than a traditional rollercoaster, because there are no conventional turns. The lap bars are alright, but the shin guards can get quite uncomfortable, especially after several rides... Another downside is the shortness of the ride, after multiple laps it might get a little boring, but overall it's okay and I can recommend this ride for everybody looking for thrills! Plus, the high-pitched whistling noise of the LSM launch fits perfectly to the ride's name and theme :)

This might be one of the best themed Skyrocket II coaster. It has a cool horror theme. The ride is, as all Skyrocket II, very fun and thrilling. This coaster model might be short but packs a punch. Sadly I had to get evacuated off the train twice because of technical issues and a mechanic went under the track to repair it. Also the trains are kinda bulky

For it's footprint, Sky Scream is awesome. It looks good offride and also from the queue. From 4 rides that I have, it was very hard for me to place my legs the way it did not pinch with the edge of the lap bar. I love to ride coaster with hands up in the air and when it is not 100% fitted, it may hurts. I have never had this problem to do it with other coaster manufacturers, but Sky Scream was my first coaster from Premier Rides. But when I made it, the ride was really amazing. I love the launch, hangtime in the Top and forces in turns.

I was surprised how much this ride did. The train does take away from it though. Might be one of the worst train designs in existence

Hm. Difficult to rate this one. Let's start with the first encounter. You walk onto this plaza and you see the Sky-Rocket-II-structure towering in red - the station being decorated in a haunted-house-style, though. The theming around it is weird, not creating a spooky atmosphere at all and not being coherent. For example, the area around it features wrecked cars and a stretch limousine. Secondly, you kind of don't know what to expect in the cue line. It warns you about scary displays, that you mustn't enter under the age of 14 and with any bags. This is especially annoying, as it causes a lot of confusion, yet nothing happens if you take your bag with you and they even have a shelf for them in the station. The cue line in itself does not feature actors, but is merely scary decoration with some surprisingly old-school animatronics occasionally trying to startle you with movement and loud noise. Apart from these it is designed well, but pretty short and does not seem to improve the ride as much as, say, the Xpress cue line at Walibi Holland - it has too much of a fair ride vibe. Operations are efficient, although the cars are so small that getting to the other side to stow your backpack away is kind of a struggle. The ride: You get launched forward very softly into what could be a loop for all you get to know of the track by then. Of course, you don't make it far and roll back into the station. That moment feels a lot like the airtime on the highest point of a pendulum ride. What follows is probably the highlight: being launched backwards into yet another loop - this time you already reach quite a height. The force felt here is a relatively uncommon sensation and strongest in the back row. For this reason alone, I think this ride is best experienced there. You once again drop back into the station and get your final launch (none of these three feel strong whatsoever). Next comes a series of elements, that feel kind of like a quick best-of-coaster-experiences. Because the track is bent upwards in such a narrow radius, the positives are strong, but you immediately twist violently and get very strong airtime, when you reach the top of the ride, heads up. Next in line is a slow inline twist with beautiful hangtime, a feeling enhanced by the lap bars, before you tumble down into a non-inverting loop with once again strong positives at the bottom. The ride is intelligently designed to feature so many good things in such a concise space and is consistently forceful. Still, it fails to leave a lasting impression - it simply feels to flat-ridish.

Launch Fun Intensity

Sky Scream is a fun Ride, very intense as well.

This is the best Sky Rocket II I have ridden so far. It beats it's cousins due to the theming - and some of them have over-the-shoulder-restraints (meh) or a third car (which does indeed make the ride worse). For such a small footprint, this is one of the best coaster types you can get (this or an S&S El Loco).
