Coaster reviews

Fun Intensity

This is your average spinning coaster. I did get some insane spinning on my ride though which was awesome.

Fun Smoothness Layout Too short

Galactica is an incredible experience. Some great forces when you are on your back and the ride area as a whole is great. This ride certainly is a whole package and is one of the most fun experiences in the UK.

Pace Fun Ejectors Too short

Fun with a good lap bar and great pace, some of the turns are taken at whippy speeds and are oddly shaped leading to some surprising ejector and what more do you want from a ride like this?

Airtimes Lap Bar Duration Rattle

Underrated, Grand National is the best wooden coaster in bpb and one of the best in Europe!! The first drop delivers a lot of ejector and the fast, unbanked turns give some amazing laterals. The ride hauls through the layout.

Headbanging Harness Discomfort

Awfully profiled slc provides no positives whatsoever. In fact it is the worst rollercoaster in the uk

Location Fun Masterpiece Dead spots

Wildfire is the type of coaster I wish would happen in America; A huge terrain coaster with a long layout, bringing a regional park into the global spotlight. Kolmarden and RMC knocked it out of the park with this one, creating a masterpiece and putting this park on the bucket list of almost every coaster enthusiast. The location is breathtaking, and shows off some of Sweden's most beautiful landscapes. At ground level you are in a forest with rocky hillsides climbing around you, but then at the top you see the vast forests on peninsulas and scattered islands in the waters of the Southeast Coast. The coaster flies through the wooded hills and natural rock-work that make up Kolmarden, interacting masterfully with the terrain. The first half of the ride is definitely the best, especially the 1-2-3 punch that is the first three elements; The almost vertical 160 ft drop followed by the massive Zero-G stall and then the huge outward banked turn. The layout after the first three elements focuses on twists and turns with a couple barrel rolls thrown in as well. There may not be many airtime moments, but that is not the focus of this ride as a terrain coaster. I would agree the pacing is weak towards the last third, especially around the last hill, but even that doesn't take away from this being a 5 star attraction. This park is a must-do if you're touring Scandinavia, as Wildifire has set a high initial bar for European RMCs.

Nice surprise! Smoothness Too short Capacity

This was my first Vekoma FSC, and I was happy with my experience. I had heard some unfavorable things about this ride type before, but this turned out to be an all around great family coaster. The theming was good and inline with the rest of this park. The whole layout is suspended over the walkways in the back corner of the park, so you are flying over the buildings and guests. While the coaster is short, it was an exceptionally smooth ride, and still very enjoyable. The largest downside is the capacity as this can only run one train, and it was very popular with the other guests. However, I am now looking forward to riding other FSC variants.

Fun Layout Capacity

This is a fun, custom wild mouse that is built above the buildings and midways of Grona Lund. The layout is a mix between classic wild mouse elements and more unique features such as the helix at the end. The main downside is the capacity, but that is a theme with the rides this park. Vilda Musen is a solid family coaster and a good fit at this park.

Nice surprise! Intensity Discomfort

Before riding this I heard that it was supposedly better than Green Lantern, and I would say that is true to some degree. The discomfort from the restraints and jarring transitions are still present, but it is slightly less pronounced than on Green Lantern. I also felt that there was more flipping than on Green lantern, which made the experience more thrilling. If you set your expectations correctly and brace yourself, this ride can actually be enjoyable.
