Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Fun Too short

This is definitely the best kiddie I've ridden. It actually has some really cool transitions and some surprisingly forceful elements for a ride of this type. It can build up a bit of a line with its single train ops, but if it's not too bad I recommend giving it a ride, it's a fun time! 5/10 - that janky drive tire trim brake is the one of the funniest things on a coaster

Nice surprise!

An alright family darkride/coaster that you wouldn't expect from the exterior. The new theming in the queue is nice, however the theming of the ride itself is lacking, especially the very quiet audio system. Could've made the soundtrack "homage" on the spiral lifthill a little bit more France themed, no?

Pace

The first drop is strange, but after that, the ride really starts flying.

First Drop Fun Discomfort

Iconic ride, and still tons of fun. The first drop is wild!

Theming Capacity Fun

A pretty ride, fun interactions with Wodan and the nearby path, but it's hard to call this a roller coaster. The top section is a nice addition to the "water ride experience" though.

Theming Capacity Pointless

This ride tries to be 2 things at once, and both substract from eachother. This would have been an excellent darkride without the outdoor powered roller coaster part tacked onto it.

Airtimes Smoothness Ejectors

Revisiting Silver Star after visiting its modern brother in PortAventura has me convinced that this is the superior B&M Hyper in Europe. The first hills have a ton of airtime, and have also been improved massively by replacing the old trim brakes. After the mid-course brake run, the intensity is turned up (rather than turned down like its Spanish counterpart), and there are multiple strong ejector moments. Even the banked turns are very forceful seconds before the final brakes.

Theming Capacity Dead spots

Nice theming, but not very intense, poor throughput, and unfortunately a very large piece of nothing at the end of the ride.

Inversions Location Fun Harness Layout

The only flying coaster I'd ridden before this was Nighthawk at Carowinds, and I'd say this is very slightly better. I quite like the experience of flying coasters, so I went into this with high expectations, mostly for the pretzel loop. That inversion definitely delivered and was everything I expected it to be, but the rest of the ride is just good, not much more. I do like the terrain-hugging it does, which makes the rather boring layout much more interesting. The restraints are pretty uncomfortable, however, and I much prefer being held on my back on the brake run than stomach down. I'm hesitant to blame the ride, as I hadn't eaten much of anything that day, but after sitting on the brakes with my head hanging down for a few minutes I felt very bad. 7.5/10 - after eating some Wendy's chicken nuggets I felt a lot better

Theming Fun

A beautiful and fun family ride. Exactly what water coasters should be like.
