Rattle Airtimes
かのエルヴィス・プレスリーがこよなく愛したという、テネシーにあった同名機を再現した復刻コースター。そのためか、造りも意図的と思えるほどに粗雑なものとなっている(2011年オープン)。アメリカ人にとっては「プレスリー」というだけで郷愁を誘うのだろうが、彼のレコードを一枚も持っていない自分としては、ジョン・レノンのように辛辣な評価を下さざるを得ない。

Riden the old version a while back definitely had a rattle, but it's a classic. Love this coaster to bits. I will post a review for the new version as soon as I have been to the Efteling again. :)

Capacity Lap Bar Smoothness
I was really looking forward to this. We rode it twice and had no desire to ride it again--even with less than 5 minute wait times. It was quite a disappointment. It is just too good to be fun. By that I mean it is liquid smooth, but it lacks intensity. Yes, it is tall and yes it is fast, but it feels almost a bit lethargic. I didn't experience any of the awesome floater air I was anticipating. They don't let you choose where you sit anymore--which is truly a terrible decision, but we got lucky on the first ride and got the back row. It just didn't deliver. I wanted to ride in the front to see if it is better, but I didn't get a chance as you have to sit where they tell you. We got our second ride about 3-4 rows back from the front. Equally disappointing. It is in a completely different class than Goliath at SFOG. Goliath is way, way better. On paper they are very similar, but Diamondback just doesn't do much. No air. No intensity. Without those, what is the point?

Capacity Fun Smoothness
Excellent ride to be sure. One of the best. I don't think I like it quite as much as Raptor or Montu, but it is fantastic. It lets up a tiny bit towards the end, but that is both a good and bad thing. You go through the last twist inversion at a very slow pace--which is pretty cool. This isn't quite as aggressive or intense as a Batman, or the two above, and perhaps that is why it isn't my alltime favorite invert. It is liquid smooth, fast, well paced and just plain fun. Great ride for sure.

Fun Capacity
Fun little ride. Incredibly slow moving line because of the tiny capacity.

Nice surprise! Location Fun Theming Capacity Dead spots
Overall is a staple landmark of St Kilda. Gives one or two notable floater airtime moments. Not extremely rough so I would assume it has been maintained very well. To sum it all up it's just an overall classic and fun experience.

First Drop Nice surprise! Hangtime Dead spots
Overall pretty fun ride. I got around 5-6 rides from what I remember. And on a good day, it is very easy to marathon.

I didn’t even know this existed and it is very fun. Amazing coaster? Not at all, fun and a bit of thrill? Yes!
