Coaster reviews

Launch Fun Intensity
The launch is very good and i relly like that you have airtime, hangtime and positive G-forces. It's smooth, but the restraints can come closer to you during the ride. With the layout and the soundtrack it's a very fun coaster.

Airtimes First Drop Smoothness Theming
The first drop is so good, the ride is in my opinion the smoothest coaster at the park. The floater airtime, pared with the restraints is just awesome. The theming is not great, if there is even theming. Overall one of my favorite wooden coasters.

Airtimes Fun
Because it was raining, it was running really fast, which led to some crazy laterals and good airtime. Without a doubt the best ride I ever had on an alpine coaster. It could be a little longer though.

Theming Rattle
Good theming, but for such a new ride by Intamin, there's a pretty strong rattle
-
Inversions Pace Fun
Great ride! Had a blast with all of the inversions and it is great how smooth it is. It makes a loud roaring sound as it moves along, which almost sounds like an angry grizzly. Would give a higher rating if there was a launch at the beginning rather than a climb, plus I am not a big fan of hanging coasters in general because they limit your line of sight.

Launch Fun Intensity Too short Capacity
I am not sure why people hate on this so much other than the fact that it is old and it is a common style. I had a great time. The anticipation leading up to the coaster dropping you is awesome! I was expecting it to rattle me more, but it actually wasn't all that bad.

First Drop Comfort Masterpiece
I feel the need to compare Candymonium to Skyrush, as someone who had no bias or knowing anything about either ride prior to riding. After riding Skyrush for the first time (not knowing anything about its high reputation ahead of time), I felt a little bit rattled. Maybe if I had known what to expect, I would have enjoyed the ride more. However, I was legitimately concerned I would be ejected from the ride, which is apparently why many people give it high ratings. Now that I know what to expect, I may enjoy it on subsequent rides, as it is my local park. That said, I next rode Candymonium. It was a fantastic ride! It had much of the same intensity of Skyrush, but without all of the bone rattling thrashing. In fact, it was extremely smooth overall. However, the smoothness does not take away from the sheer speed and intensity, as my girlfriend appeared to show more fear on Candymonium than she did on Skyrush which honestly surprised me. Hershey Park and B&M did a bang up job on the placement and design of this ride within the park, it is absolutely gorgeous. The ride is the centerpiece of by far the most memorable park entrance I have ever seen, Hershey Park has done a fantastic job building their new Chocolate Town addition. Candymonium is a great way to introduce to someone to hypercoasters, as you get all of the thrills without questioning whether you may need to see a chiropractor for realignment afterwards (looking at you Skyrush).

Airtimes First Drop Masterpiece Discomfort
Amazing coaster. Top of Europe. Only main con which I have is that it would have been better without floor. Maybe just because I am long, but my feet were in an uncomfortable position

Inversions Rattle Headbanging Tear it down!
As I was expecting it from a Vekoma SLC, I tried to protect my ears but it barely helped. My head was bouncing left to right against the bulky shoulder restrainsts. Please Walibi, put new gen Vekoma lap bars on there or even replace it with a "rideable" coaster

Theming Fun Smoothness Intensity
This coaster is in a very nice themed area. It is very fun to ride, very smooth but not very intense
