Nice surprise! Pace Fun Dead spots
When I went on Ninja, I thought it wouldn’t be intense, but BOY was I wrong. Please keep in mind that I am an aspiring enthusiast and have yet to get on a super high thrill coaster, so what may seem intense to me may differ for you. The lift hill is pretty short, and the drop is pretty gradual. There is no stomach dropping feeling like you get on some coasters, which is good for a family oriented coaster. The one thing that surprised me is how much speed the coaster picks up. You wind around and down the mountain with the wind blowing in your face and the trains swinging. When I rode Ninja, the ride was swinging a lot. There is one part at the end of the ride where the train hits a slight turn and swings 90 degrees or over, or at least when I rode it it did. Now comes one of the only downsides of the ride, which is the lift hill back to the station. It’s not really that bad, because it gives you time to laugh and talk about the ride. The restraints were fine, even though this is a coaster manufactured by Arrow. It also wasn’t super rough, but I was not really paying attention to how smooth the ride was. Overall, this is a very good coaster for families and thrill seekers alike. But don’t go in expecting something super tame, because as Magic Mountain says, Ninja is the black belt of roller coasters, or at least family coasters!

First Drop Location Layout
A really fantastic coaster and at the time of this review it has my favorite first drop. The first half is incredible, however it loses a lot of its speed after the second inversion. I think I've had my expectations a bit too high for my first RMC. The setting is beautiful and makes the coaster stand out. No doubt a top tier coaster though.

Airtimes Fun
A really fun ride for sure. Unfortunately I did not get to like it as much as some other people I know: Mainly due to its lack of positives (but thats a complaint that I have with all RMCs I rode so far) but I also wish some airtime moments were a bit more sustained. Nevertheless definitly a world class coaster

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.

Nice surprise! Intensity
First of all I am a fan of this rides station. I was not impressed at first with my front row ride but the back slapps. Way better than expected and a really fun invert actually. The ejector off the drop came unexpected and I do think that this ride does deserve a better spot than it is given in the ranking.

Nice surprise! Launch Fun
I was not expecting me to find these better than the vekoma motorbike but I did. While the vekomas to have slightly more comfy trains I did like both the launch and the rest of the layout more.

Discomfort
Ah yes it only took me 210 credits to get on a volare. To be honest I was expecting worse but nevertheless this is a sucky one for sure.

Fun Intensity
IDK if it's just me but I found this really intense for a kiddie coaster and I had a blast on this. Also big thanks to RCDB because due to this rides location in a forest in a dead end of the park I would have probably missed it otherwhise.
