Theming Fun
Slinky dog dash is a great family launch coaster. It’s very well themed both on ride and in queue and is just a whole lot of fun. The launches are very weak but this is a family coaster so kind of expected. There a few moments where you actually get some airtime. This is one of the best family coasters there is for sure and it looks great lit up at night.

Theming Location Smoothness Intensity
A really nice family-friendly coaster providing a smooth, comfortable ride suitable for all ages and is very nicely themed, especially the station looks great and the train is themed after the German Folk Song "Auf de schwäbsche Eisebahne", which fits perfectly in this full-blooded Swabian theme park. The ride might not be very intense (roughly on the same level as Raik), but there is even a little airtime. The highlight of this coaster is definetely the interaction with "Hals-über-Kopf", which makes this ride way more interesting than it would be without the latter coaster!

Fun Layout Duration Rattle
I hope they will eventually be able to afford an RMC upgrade for Bandit. The rattling is getting better. They are doing a great job of improving the ride experience.

Lap Bar Capacity Intensity
Good coaster for kids an families. However, in direct comparison with Raik (Phantasialand) it is a bit weak. I like how it is build into "Hals über Kopf".

Lap Bar Smoothness Layout Theming
The coaster opened today and it was a wonderful ride. I rode it several times. Only downside is the incomplete Theming. They opened the ride before the surrounding has been completed. Vekoma absolutely learned their lesson with inverted coasters. This one feels great, no headbanging as in their former models (I'm looking at you: MP-Express :-) ).

Rattle Discomfort
Probably the most painful kiddie coaster i've been on while at the same time not providing a good thrill.

Headbanging Harness Discomfort
Tornado at Helendoorn is a surprisingly painful Vekoma Lopper. The inversions are fine but the main Problem with this ride is the combination of the neck snapping laterals and the bulky restraints.
