Coaster reviews

Comfort Fun Smoothness Theming

Much better than water coasters in Europa-Park but I wish Speed had better theming. In the front row it's a soaker!

Inversions Location Fun Rattle

Two weeks ago I rode Abyssus and I enjoyed this new generation Vekoma STC more. It is not intense, it has great inversions that feel really enjoyable with no vests. I like interaction with Volldampf and I think that these two coasters are very good investment for the park. The only con is the rattle - especially in the back in the first half of the coaster, it is not a good sign since the coaster is new.

Theming Smoothness Layout Intensity

Now, when Energylandia has Abyssus, Formula seems to me completely pointless. The first part between launches is very forceless. Even Light Explorers (Vekoma junior boomerang) feels more intense. The drop from the tophead was unexpectably dissapointing. I have never felt the trim hit so hard. It completely ruins this element. Next is the loop, two inversions and corkscrew - this is the best part of the coaster. After the corkscrew it looses speed again up to the breakrun. Nothing changes later in the day. I imagine this will be an ideal coaster for average ordinary visitor of the park. I have lots of friends like that. They will enjoy this a lot and from this point of view this coaster is a perfect addion.

Inversions Pace Layout Headbanging

you get a tiny bit of head banging but what do you expect

First Drop Pace Hangtime Too short

Once again short but very fun!

Launch Fun Too short

Quite a fun but short ride! Launch is amazing!

First Drop Theming Inversions Headbanging

It’s a very solid ride, but all depends on height since the head banging!

Location Fun

This is a fun little ride in a great location. I thought it was slightly more thrilling than Fairly Odd Coaster. The spinning element makes for a good time, but overall, it’s a pretty tame experience.

Pace Fun Intensity Too short

One of my favorite childhood coasters. I have a lot of fond memories with this from back when it was called Top Gun. Riding it as an adult, it definitely feels a lot shorter than I remember; but man, that corkscrew and helix over the lake is still magical, even with the drought keeping the water level down. Back left seat is where the magic really happens--I was seeing spots on the turn after the first loop. You ride this for the positive G-forces and well-paced layout. It's just fun. With the addition of Railblazer it's no longer the most intense ride here but it still packs a punch. I hope it continues to operate for many years to come. Thanks everything, Flight Deck!

Pace Intensity Ejectors Capacity

I was not expecting this thing to be as intense as it was. My first ride, third seat from the front, I scream-cussed the whole time. It goes by so fast you have no idea what is happening. From absolutely any seat this thing is bonkers. On my third ride after absorbing the layout a bit I got a seat in the back (shoutout to the operating staff guy that gave it to me, bless you)--and holy. Shit. For basically the whole duration of that 90 degree drop you are in no way in your seat. You just get absolutely chucked over it and all the airtime moments afterward feel twice as intense. There's this drop that takes you around the backside of the ride that just totally flings you out. It honestly kinda feels like you're barely in your seat the whole time. This is now the most intense coaster at CGA by a very long shot and it's a great addition to the lineup. I will say that a friend of mine complained of neck pain after the ride, so if you normally have issues with that you may wanna put effort into keeping yours tensed. I myself had no issues. The line is also usually very long and if you want more than a couple rides in a day a fast pass is a must. It's definitely well worth the wait despite its short duration and every time I ride it it just makes me want to go again. And again. And again. Ride this thing or you'll regret it.
