Coaster reviews

First Drop Too short Pointless Dead spots

The first drop is the only part of the ride in my eyes, it gives some floater. The rest is literally just as intense as a kiddie coaster.

Theming Pace Fun Intensity

before riding, i never really understood the criticisms behind this coaster not really being super intense. like, isn't it supposed to be a family coaster? well, i rode it, and yeah it's not all that intense, but honestly it's just fast and has cool drops. it's just fun and i think it does the idea of a "family thrill" coaster perfectly. the theming in the queue is also a nice touch although the three instances of heidi on the screens feels a bit tacky, especially since there's no subtitles or audio, so it's not all that easy to follow in the first place. the whole area is really well themed though!

Capacity Discomfort

i know this is themed after a show, but i'm still not entirely sure who wants to go to an amusement park and be reminded of school. well, a rave happens in the classroom so i suppose it could be worse. uh, anyways, this coaster has weird things in the middle of the seats which make this even more uncomfortable than it already is, merely due to the fact it's a tivoli and you're gonna slide around a lot. especially with all of those laterals. oof.

Theming Fun Intensity Harness Discomfort

this coaster feels super reminiscent of saw, a rollercoaster that i adore already, so i think by virtue it's safe to say i love it. except instead of the horrifying vertical lift we all love, it's replaced by an absolutely ridiculously intense launch. i haven't ridden many launch coasters, but considering i've ridden stealth, which now has the fastest launch acceleration on any operating rollercoaster, i think it's my place to say that for sure. the queue is also beautiful, i can't say i've watched the show it's themed after, but it's definitely got the mysterious vibe it's looking for. as much as i love the intensity and pace of this ride however, it ends up having similar shortcomings to other eurofighters (i know it's *technically* not a eurofighter but it's still a gerst so...). most notably, the restraints kinda suck. i personally didn't find this coaster as rough or rattly as saw, but the restraint got pushed down way too hard during my second ride which hurt plenty. i would recommend the front a lot more than the back, i found my front-row ride a lot more comfortable. overall though? it's a real neat ride. still can't get over how sudden the launch is, it's hilarious.

Amazing ride with a beautiful theming, it's super long. Only the line was 70min.

Theming Layout Hangtime Rattle Disappointing! Tear it down!

I will be very honest with you. This was the most anticipated coaster of 2024 for me. I have watched and read some mixed reviews but still I was like this could be possibly even the new number one or something in top 10, but man… first ride of the day on the outer seat was soooo painful. I have never ridden a coaster with just a lap bar that rattled, shaked, that much that couse me that my head hurt. And I have ridden nearly 400 coasters. So I was like this could be one of thouse two trains that has not optimized suspension as I read in the reviews. Second ride, different train, outer seat, same experience. I felt very sad and my head hurt as hell but I tried once again and outer seat again and sadly the same train like for the first time. I prayed the whole ride it will end soon. I was recovering so long after those brutal three rides. It was nothing like enjoyable. I was so dissapointed and pissed of. But in the end of the day, I returned. Inner seat this time. And what a difference. Like night and day. That ride was fantastic. Very forcefull, manny ejectors, brilliant inversions, very powerfull vertical launch into the awesome hangtime… however is this what you want from a coaster? Fear that you will get the bad train and ruin your day with a headache? Everyone should get the same experience. I do not get why the park even allowes this. They must know about this… I though for a moment that it could be me since the season just started and later I rode Silver Star twice and with that butter smooth ride… They need to fix the rattle as soon as possible. I enjoy ridding rollercoasters but those three morning rides almost made me regret that I came all the way there. I wish this was made by Gerstlauer or Intamin.

Theming Nice surprise! Masterpiece

This is one, if not my favorite rollercoaster of all time. You REALLY should go into this blind. If you didn't ride it yet, stop reading. This coaster surprised me on so many levels it's unreal. First off, the great theming and fantastic soundtrack that creates a thick atmosphere inside q-line. The storyline is consistent and told through many cool elements. Right after you enter the coaster cart, the first scene happens which really builds up the hype and gives goosebumps thanks again to the fantastic music. The first surprise is a strong launch in total darkness which you definately do not expect. There are a couple of fun elements outside, but the outside tracks end maybe a bit too soon. Inside the tower, the next surprise waits: a 90 degree lift and a super steep drop in the dark. Just amazing! But the experience does not end there, after that you have one last obstacle: a cool labyrinth which also fits well to the theming. In short, this is one of the best roller coasters in the world, in my opinion because it's a well rounded package of surprise, theming and pure fun. Every coaster fan has to ride this atleast once.

First Drop Theming Intensity Capacity

Simply an outstanding coaster in Hansa Park. The theming from start to finish is incredible. I especially like how nicely the baggage drop off is integrated into the storyline. The soundtrack is fantastic and really captures the feeling of escaping from Kärnan. I love the show in the tower especially the surprise backwards fall. The ride itself is great and provides a nice overview on the Ostsee. It's an intense and fast ride, but also comfortable. Capacity though is low as the show inside the tower takes quite a while and some people may get uncomfortable hanging 90 degrees for such a long time. Other than that, one of my favorite coasters of all time.

Theming Masterpiece Layout

Spoilers: The Mack family really outdid themselves here. The experience is well rounded right from the start and as soon as you enter the q-line, the different machines and detailed props really draw you in. I've had my first wow moment when I reached the huge waiting hall which is brimming with detail wherever you look. It is simply dripping with atmosphere thanks to its amazing soundtrack and unique effects like Tesla Coils. The story line is simple but effective. The ride has many surprises in store, like a jumping effect track. I won't go into much detail here, but the layout with the dozens different inversions, air time hills, LSM starts including backwards launch and more is incredibly fun! The turntable provides a breather and supports the experience with, once again, a really atmospheric soundtrack. I also love the theming around the track, it really transports you straight to croatia. I've heard complains about rattle, but my experience was buttery smooth like you would expect such a top coaster to ride. I've heard two coaster carts at the time of this writing lack the suspension elements for now, which might be the reason for the different experiences people have. I'm really thankful to have this fantastic masterpiece in my local home park.

Airtimes Layout Duration Rattle

This long anticipated coaster finally opened today and oh my god it's everything I hoped it would be. First up it's incredibly long and the first half already feels like a complete ride. The Launches feel very powerful for a Mack Rides coaster. It has some pretty strong airtime moments that will lift your shirt(s)/Jacket or whatever you are wearing. It has some good forces but it's not that intense in that category. The seats are very comfortable contrary to my expectations. The restraints are the ususal Mack LapBars, they are fine, the good thing is that they seem to remain in a fixed Position during the ride. The ride sadly has a noticeable vibration, it's not bad but I really hope this can be fixed, or doesn't get worse. Overall a great coaster but I wouldn't say it's Top 1 Material in my eyes. It's for sure in my Top 10 but I don't know where exactly, I need more rides and evaluation to determine a final spot. I waited 150 minutes for my first ride which is a new personal record for the longest time I waited for a coaster, it wasn't fun. Edit: After a total of 12 rides, it's my new #1
