First Drop Theming Fun

Zadra is a MASTERPIECE! Bless whoever came up with Zadra being a dragon!!!

Airtimes Smoothness Layout Theming

Zadra is the best coaster I’ve ridden. Theming could be more better! The queue for example. More character and ambiance would lift up!

Airtimes Comfort Ejectors Too short

Absolutely amazing coaster, definitely warms up throughout the day and was hauling by the end of the day compared to the first rides of the day. Packed with airtime but feels short compared to Iron Gwazi, however the restraints didn't staple mid ride the way they seemed to do on Iron Gwazi.

Lap Bar Fun Smoothness Disappointing! Dead spots

I was pretty underwhelmed with this coaster. Weak airtime hills, slow rolls, pacing issues. It was a fun ride but people make this out to be one of the best coasters in the world... I was disappointed. I'll give it another go when it is warmer in the summer months, as I did ride it when it was snowing.

Fun Intensity Ejectors Too short

An absolutely incredible ride, best on the back row, the first drop is sublime. My favourite element has to be the zero G stall. Only issue is it clearly could have gone on for longer, you always hit the brake run with a lot of force!

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors Too short

What a phenomenal ride, comfortably the best I’ve been on so far. Insane balls to wall intensity from start to finish with a handful of ridiculous out of your seat ejector airtime my moments along with that incredible zero g stall, would love for it to have an extra 1000ft+ of track as it hits the final brakes at a colossal pace but I can’t complain. My first ever RMC but certainly not my last

First Drop Inversions Pace

Wow. This ride absolutely blew me away, from start to finish. Great 90° drop, before diving into the structure followed by some nice elements afterwards, leading to my personal favourite moment of the ride, the stall (even better if you look upwards). Some more airtimes and turnarounds, before experiencing two zero-g rolls, and hitting the brakes. Absolutely rushes through the amazing layout with incredible pace, kept from start to finish. Definitely number 1 in the park, by a long shot.

The best rollercoaster i have ever was. Everything is perfect.

Masterpiece Intensity Layout

Honestly was it not for the additional length on Steel Vengeance, this piece of art would be by far and away the best coaster I have done!! Where do I even begin?? The first drop is incredible and that headchopper at the bottom is terrifying, the massive turnaround element combines greyout intensity AND strong ejector airtime in a brilliant manner, the three inversions are taken brilliantly, it has the best pacing of any coaster out there and it just does not let up from drop to breaks. If theres ANY slight niggle I have with the ride, the queue is excessively long to walk through in regards to rerides and it COULD possibly have gone on for a little longer which is the only reason I would still rank Steel Vengeance above it. Other than that, easily Europes greatest coaster and easily my second favourite coaster!!

wow

First Drop Pace Smoothness

First couple of rides were really fun but. This ride flew to my number 1 later in the day after it had been running for a bit and with a sprinkling of rain. It absolutely flew round the layout. It was insane!! It amazes me how it's so intense while also being stupid smooth at the same time. Zero G stall is really good! Same with the double down! Just be aware though, The brake run is pretty brutal. You stop really quick! Amazing though!

Airtimes First Drop Pace

I genuinely struggle to find any flaws in this coaster, and it is currently tied for my #1. Every single element is incredible and the whole ride flows amazingly! The first drop on the back row is absolutely insane, and then everything that follows is equally as great, providing a mix of airtime, hangtime, laterals, and positives. The pacing is also flawless and at night it's a whole other level.

Intensity Ejectors Discomfort

Like all RMC creations, this explodes into a range of insane wild elements after the first drop. I especially love the zero G stall (which is a little bit short). In the final part the ride starts to hurt me because the ejectors are way too intense for me. I think I got some bruises from the lapbars here (as a matter of matter: the more weight you have, the more brutal the negative Gs will be for you - simple physics).

First Drop Pace Smoothness

Top tier ride! Very strong layout, brilliant first drop, great inversions and very intense while still retaining its smoothness.

Airtimes Masterpiece Ejectors Discomfort

This ride is in one word "AMAZING". Seriously friggin good. This is definitely the best RMC I have ridden, overall, but I still had a better single ride on Untamed. As of writing this review I have ridden Twisted Colossus, Untamed and Zadra. The coaster slams into the final breakrun with a wayyyy to high speed, which is a shame because they could have used that speed to add a few more elements. The breakrun is really smooth tho so that's atleast a good thing :P. In the end the biggest catch on is still those RMC cars man. They seem like they are built for a slim person of 1 meter 60 orso. I am 185 (average Dutch height) and average sized. I dont get stapled but I dont have much leg space for sure. My gf got stapled hard, and it doesnt help that ride operators are nasty. They pushed extra hard on her lapbar it seems making it very painful and the ride ops were commanding everyone as if the park was full, while there was literarily a 0 minute queue. It kinda ruins the experience. In the end still a masterpiece coaster. 10/10, but I do want to mention that the experience got slightly ruined by the bad ride operators. Hyperion's ride ops were so much nicer. What seat would I recommend for Zadra? I loved the back row! So many ejectors! :D Front is pretty cool, but I would definitely suggest sitting in the last row, either seat works, ridden it 4 times.

This roller coaster alone is worth a trip to Poland. Without a doubt the best coaster in Europe. Not a single dull moment, incredible pace. The outward banked turn is insane!

It's literally the best you have to ride it !!!

The pace of this ride blew me away. Its so damn fast and you fly through the layout like a maniac. Awesome drop too! The night rides at the end of a hot summer day were out of this world!

Pace Fun Intensity

First of all WOW this is a beautiful coaster. It looks insane in person. Already seeing it tower above the trees from the train when arriving at Energylandia is incredible. This ride has some really fun elements on an incredible scale. Though as with all other RMCs that I rode until now I have the same thing to criticize: These rides just tend to lack intensity in the transitions between the elements. However out of the ones that I rode so far this one does it best. I even got a gray out on the first turnaround element which is the first time on an RMC for me. Unfortunately the ride feels a bit short even though it's impressive track length. The ride is very well paced which means that it makes it through the massive amount of track in no time. Also the very powerful brake run hits very hard which on one hand is uncomfortable (especially in combination with RMCs stupid restraint design) and on the other hand it is sad because the ride could easily have been extended to be longer. Also something to mention is that the operations at Energylandia make you walk around if you want to reride Zadra which is unfortunate because the station exit to station entrance is a walk of around 700-800m and it makes the ride very non reridable. Still I do think that this ride is criminally overrated.

The pace on this coaster is insane. It's just so fast and intense from the drop to the breakrun.

Oh man for me this is best coaster in the world! I was rideing in it five minutes ago :-)

Pace Masterpiece Intensity

#1 Ride!!!

First Drop Intensity Smoothness

I have ridden 64 coasters in Europe and Zadra is the best of them all. She is so intense - especialy in the back row, smooth, fast, well paced, well designed, just perfect! She is a beast! She is queen of roller coasters! Queue line is the longest in the world but you get great views of this beauty and audio is also very good. No problems with lap bars, no problems with additional shin guards. I recommend night rides during Magic Nights in summer. No cons.

Airtimes Pace Masterpiece

Incredible speed throughout the massive layout. Zadra delivers a surprising amount of G+ for an RMC, along with fantastic sideways and ejector airtime!

Pace Fun Intensity Discomfort Lap Bar

I've waited almost a year for riding Zadra, which was opened a week after my previous visit in Energylandia. My expectations were very high and reality, unfortunately, does not match them in all aspects. Visually beautiful, Zadra is located in Dragon Zone - area which looks much better then every other park zone due to its theming. The atmosphere of medieval village disappears however in ridiculously long queue line, which has no theming at all. After beautiful Hyperion station and overall presence of Dragon Zone it is a bit disappointing. Finally I'm in the train - OMG, the restrains are so uncomfortable! Lap bars have additional shin guards, which caused giant bruises on my legs after only 3 rides. Ride experience? After extremely noisy chain lift the drop comes - very good in last row (nice ejector), ok in the middle rows. After the drop, train reaches its top speed of 121 km/h and maintain great pace till the end. After twisted top hat the Zero-G stall comes - one of 2 best moments of the rides, which looks spectacular from the outside. Couple of turns and second best moment comes - great right turn immediately followed by sharp left - masterpiece! Shortly after you reach great ejector hill, followed by second inversion. Last section is close to the ground and to the structure of Zadra, with the final, third inversion and... ouch, painful, hard brakes at the end. The train has enough speed for further 200m of track, which is unfortunately missing. Overall, awesome ride, with extremely high G-forces, very intense with great pacing, but also with couple of drawbacks: uncomfortable restrains, brutal brakes and lack of theming. So which one is better: Zadra or Hyperion? They are different, so it is difficult to compare them, both have pros and cons, but let me put it this way: every time I'm in Hyperion waiting for departure, I'm excited and scared a little bit. And I love this feeling. On Zadra, I felt this only once, before the first ride.

This coaster is just pure insanity, balls to the walls from beginning to end, every element is tight and whippy, it's pure insanity and I love it, very, very good ride.

Pace Masterpiece Smoothness

The ride is absolutely insane. I'm glad that RMC did not pack shitloads of small ejector pops, it stays well-paced till the end!

Airtimes First Drop Intensity Harness

What an incredible coaster. The first drop packs a big punch, followed by an intense turnaround with great airtime. The outside banked turn is the craziest part, pretty low to the ground and fast as.. The twisted hip at the end is the cherry on top of the cake.

First Drop Inversions Fun Too short Intensity

Packs a real punch with it's first drop and turnaround but fails to keep up this level of intensity for the rest of the ride. Has some incredibly fun inversions and is gorgeous to look at though.

Pace Intensity Smoothness

Absolut fantastic! This ride ist awesome. It's main pro ist pace. Only cons are the crazy long Queue line, that you can't skip... It would battle Steel Vengeance for the No. 1 spot if it was a little bit longer.

Pace Smoothness Layout

I have no words, this is the best coaster in Europe to me as of 2019. As stunning visually as it is as a ride experience. After you have conquered the much too long queue line, you are in for a serious treat, as soon as the coaster has warmed up for a few hours. First drop into the structure is amazing, especially in the back. As soon as you reach the bottom, you are shocked by the stupid amount of speed at an insane level of smoothness. Climbing up the turnaround-hill you get some good airtime before going down again. Then you get the zero-G-stall - not my personal favourite element, as I think the feeling is not so different from other similar conventional elements that it feels like something totally new, but it is immense fun. The following outbanked turn is very whippy here, the subsequent floater hill acts as a much needed breather point, but fortunately is not as long as Hyperions. A great inversion through the structure is followed by two amazing camelbacks with Untamed-quality ejector. My favourite part of the ride is the violent twisted airtime hill to the left that follows. Final inversion and then you slam in the brakes like crazy. Ride it and be amazed but wait for a couple of hours until the ride has reached its full potential. My current #1 in Europe.

Zadra is truly an incredible ride. There are eight moments of nice ejector airtime, including an insane 90° first drop and a crazy turnaround (this is definitely the highlight of the ride), that gets stronger towards the end of the day but wild airtime is not what Zadra is about. The ride is about speed, incredible pacing, twisty transitions, perfect zero-g inversions and some quite scary headchoppers. Personally I don't mind having fewer but more sustained moments of airtime instead of those quick bursts of ejector, one after another, that RMCs are best known for. The ride is glass smooth and I absolutely loved how the inversions are shaped. The only thing I didn't quite like about Zadra are the restraints. Lap bars and seat belts were fine but I don't really see the point of using shin guards on this ride. Prepare to have your thighs and shins bruised after a few re-rides!

First Drop Intensity Smoothness Too short

What can I say about Zadra. Best coaster I've ridden so far. Amazingly intense, in back row - masterpiece! What's more it's super smooth and it just fly over the track. You feel like the trains are not slowing down even a little bit during the ride. You will not experience airtimes on this coaster, but if you prefer intensity over airtimes - it's the perfect coaster. Maybe a little con - too short. I think 300-400m track more would be great. Anyway - 5 stars!

Night ride in the back row is indescribable.
