Theming Capacity Duration

for my money its the most fun roller coaster out there

First Drop Fun Smoothness Too short

This ride is great. It has good first drop, is smooth and is pretty fun. Like most dive coasters it’s a short ride. Overall pretty good Dive Coaster

Inversions Intensity Too short

Very underrated ride at Dollywood, when I went to Dollywood, it was a walk on. It has good inversions and is intense. You might get some head banging but didn’t affect me that much. Solid Ride overall

Airtimes Launch Fun

That launch is great, the airtimes are good and is very fun. Try to at least get one ride on this when you come to silver dollar city, but from what I remember it’s like the 2nd longest wait in the park behind Fire in the Hole. Overall Solid ride

Theming Location Layout

It's all about the theming and the interaction with HüK with this one. Layout doesn't do much. That song in the station may get stuck in your head. Trulala, trulala, trula trula trulalaaa.

Lap Bar Inversions Comfort

Nothing negative to say about this amazing ride. From first drop to finish, non stop fun. It's a family coaster, but pretty intense, especially in the valleys. The final banked turn with the inversion straight after it might be my fav element on any coaster. The theming (notice the train has the large spear on it the 7 Schwaben use to go after "the monstrosity"), story and interaction with Volldampf make this an almost perfect ride. One of the two trains has a bit of a rattle near the back, the other runs smoothly. I hope Vekoma gets to install many of these around the world. They should do a deal where they replace SLC's for these at a discount, as a form of apology. ;-)

Fun Intensity Discomfort

Pretty good for a Tivoli large. Some of the valleys have quite some force for a kids coasters. A dime a dozen, but a fun cred to get and good for the kids.

Theming Fun Intensity Disappointing! Dead spots

A fun if unremarkable wild mouse, historically important since its the first Gerstlauer. The theming is cool, with the coaster going around and through the castle, the helixes are pretty forceful. For a taller, bigger guy like myself, the trains are rather uncomfortable.

Theming Airtimes Dead spots Intensity

The ride looks the part, but it really doesn't do much. Too slow, no forces, no airtime. It doesn't rattle as such, it's more of a shake. The track seems to be too wide for the trains. Pro-tip: sit in the middle row of the 3 row carts. That way, you don't sit above the wheels and the shake is a lot less violent. The tunnel with the smoke and the show scene at the start are fun. I did a night ride during the Halloween event and that made the ride more enjoyable. The first time I visited Tripsdrill I hated this ride, but I enjoyed it a lot more during my last trip. Kids seem to enjoy it a lot. It's an intimidating looking coaster that is actually pretty mild, so a good entry coaster for younger riders.
