Intensity Discomfort

It is rough but it deserves way more than 5%.

First Drop Inversions Ejectors Rattle Too short Capacity

Awesome Gerstlauer Infinity coaster has some great moments of ejector, specifically the double down and the first drop. All five inversions are very enjoyable, and the lap bars are freeing and comfortable. My main two issues with this coaster, however, are the rattle in both the valleys and the elements themselves, as well as the ride’s duration, or lack thereof. Even then, this is a great ride that a helpful additions to Knott’s Lineup.

Launch Masterpiece Smoothness

This is the best Intamin launch coaster in the world. Layout, launches, theming, intensity, smoothness, airtime, hangtime, ejectors...this beast is nearly pefect in all these aspects. Just awesome!

Comfort Masterpiece Ejectors

This is, without the shadow of a doubt, the best RMC hybrid coaster in the world. The layout might be a little better on Steel Vengeance, but Iron Gwazi is so much smoother and the leg restraints don't hurt at all, even for tall guys. This is just rollercoaster perfection.

Theming Launch Ejectors Reliability

This ride starts with a rolling launch into a nice warm up section that features a hangtime filled inversion into some outerbank turns before starting the amazing swing launch with a great vertical spike and ejector speed hill. There is a trim on the top hat which delays the airtime on the 101° drop but everything else is solid. The stall gives great hangtime, the camelback delivers amazing ejector and the other banked turns and airtime pops are good including the double up at the end. The final heartline roll is very whippy and fast. Overall Toutatis is a solid launch coaster with a combination of good forces and inversions topped off with great theming in the station and the area which creates a world class package experience not to be missed, easily the best coaster in France! One thing I have to criticise about is the reliability because I had 2 days at the park, on the first day Toutatis was operating constantly all the time with no problems, but on the second day it was shut all day due to a technical fault. I hope these reliability issues will be solved sooner rather than later because this ride can't be missed.

Nice surprise! Theming Harness

Way better than any other boomerang. Still some headbanging obivously, but way more enjoyable than other boomerangs.

Airtimes Launch Layout Reliability

This coaster is just wow: while the section before the triple launch might be fine, but not outstanding, the madness begins with the launch section. While the airtime on the first acceleration is floater, it grows to aggressive ejector moments in the second launch, when going backwards, these are more intense. The top hat might be taken very slowly, but it still has airtime on every seat. After this huge drop, the layout has a bit of everything: nice inversions, forceful turns and airtime in huge amounts and every kind. Kind of interesting is the hill which is banked 90 degrees to the side - this element looks pretty wonky from the outside, but rides extremely calm and offers a short "break" in this wild ride with blistering pacing. During my visits, this ride was down for most of the first day, but luckily, on my second day, it was mostly reliable - I still hope, the park can solve these problems during the time. I strongly recommend the front seat where the sense of speed shows best, but the back row is even better because of the forces and airtime moments which are more intense at this place.

Theming Inversions Layout Intensity

It might not be the most intense invert out there, it feels more graceful than the others with heavy positive G's, but it is still an amazing ride. The layout is pretty versatile - the small dip after the vertical loop provides a nice moment of floater airtime and the dive under the water just into the zero-G-roll makes this coaster special. But my personal highlight is the final inversion - it is taken with a lower speed, so this zero-G-roll feels extremely floaty and might be the best of its kind. Theming is nicely done, the queue is one of the best in this park and the station building with the plaza looks awesome.

First Drop Lap Bar Smoothness Discomfort

For a wild mouse this was surprisingly good. It is a bit uncomfortable due to the trains but the layout is generally very smooth. The drops are nice and comfortable. It has a nicely themed queue line as well.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Intensity Discomfort

One of the most surprising coaster I have been on: The ejector moments are downright insane, especially when going backwards - and the strong positive G's in the valleys caused me some slight greyouts. It is a real rarity which should not be missed out when going to Blackpool!
