Airtimes Duration Dead spots Lap Bar
I love this maurer rides spinner it has airtime and the laterals make it so much better and the spinning makes it so much more intense. a must ride!

Nice surprise! Pace Fun Theming
WOW! What a coaster! the first launch is punchy, but not too punchy and all the elements hit hard! I love the stall!!!

Inversions Smoothness Layout Capacity
Really amazing wing coaster and in the top 2 of Heide Park in my opinion. I like the balance between not having too much intense elements but still making the layout exceptional. Inversions are really fun and the smoothness makes it so reridable. However on the Sunday we were there, it was on a 1 train operaiton, sky rocketing the wait time to 60 minutes. Luckily, the single rider line got it down to around 20-30 minutes.

First Drop Location Fun Too short
The first drop is really great and the half-inversion is also decent, but that‘s really it. A helix and a second inversion would really increase the rating of the coaster by a lot. Queue is often only 10-15 minutes, which I think still makes it re-ridable just for the drop in first row. Overall though, the location of the coaster just on the lake makes it great to look at from outside of the ride.

First Drop Ejectors Duration Rattle
Definitely one of the best wooden coasters. The drop and airtime hills are exceptional, however it rattles a lot towards the end of the layout. Wouldn‘t ride it back to back all the time but 2 or 3 times per visit. Glad it didn‘t get demolished.

Theming Pace Masterpiece
One of the, if not the best LSM launch coasters in the world. Theming is unbeatable and the second launch does hit different. My personal highlight is front row during the darkness, it‘s incredible. The launch in general is not as intense as on the hydraulic launches from intamin but still very well done.

Theming Intensity Layout
In my opinion it is a really great inverted coaster and is known for it‘s exceptional theming. I find the layout fairly intense and it rides very smooth, considering it‘s age. Was down for a few hours on my visit day but generally it‘s fairly reliable for it‘s age

Location Fun Intensity Headbanging
Even though it gets rougher with age, Vortex always gives a wild, out of control ride that I can't help but enjoy! It's nice to see one of the last Arrow suspended coasters still standing strong, and I hope it continues to stick around as one of the better rides in the park.

First Drop Capacity
An average wild mouse with a fun first drop, shame the line never goes below 1 hour.

Nice surprise! Fun Lap Bar
Surprisingly fun for a kid's wooden coaster, but those lapbars can get painful for anyone adult sized.
