Comfort Fun Intensity Capacity
Was surprisingly punchy, I remember screaming to my partner “I thought this was for children!!!” Cool trains, the puppets in the queue are creepy, but fun at the same time. It took us a while to find this one though, it’s tucked really far away in a corner. If you liked this then bip bip at parque Warner Madrid is just as much fun.

Location Discomfort Pointless Lap Bar
Why does this even exist? It hurts so much, the track profiling is awful and jolts your legs against the restraints. The thing it does well is get you wet, which is all needed to do, not throw you about and down a drop that one of the strangest profiles I’ve ever seen. Also when the supersplash, which is farrrr better, is next door it just makes this look even worse. One star for the splash

Theming Capacity Comfort
If I knew anything about Arthur I’d have loved this more than I already do. It’s so magical, and the outside section would be terrible anywhere else, but thanks to the parks setting it’s just as beautiful. The station is a complete marvel too!
-
Inversions Pace Duration Launch Dead spots
Wish it was just a bit faster, the hill after the launch takes all the speed and buzz out the launch and just seems like a wasted element. But the launch holding area is really fun and cool, the smoke and alarms really add to the experience. The last two inversions are so intense though and are the stand out of this ride.
-
Airtimes Pace Intensity Too short
Beat woody I’ve experienced, never lets up speed, very smooth, the second half will have your butt out of your seat indefinitely. The first drop has a lot of force behind it too. The queue is incredible, but suffers from the same thing as F.L.Y, it’s a great queue until you wanna re ride it and you have to put your long walk shoes on. Loses half a star for its short length though, this thing hits the break run with soooo much momentum left over that could have been used to extend the pretty short (but very good) layout.

Capacity Disappointing! Discomfort Pointless
I think this ride really lets Europa park down tbh. Theme song is damn infectious and the best part of the ride. It’s rough, boring and spends far too long climbing the hill and then meandering at the top before performing some of the roughest drops/ helixes I’ve ever endured. It’s awkward staring at the people opposite you if you don’t know them, the only good thing about this ride is how many people it can chug through per hour (sorry, I meant assault per hour). Mack need to tear it down and put in one of their extreme spinners and showcase what they’re good at, not this mirrored menace from hell. *hums theme tune*

Comfort Fun Duration
The spiral lift goes on sooooo long, but what’s funny is you can see just how efficient europaparks ops are, because if you look up on the lift hill you can see two other trains also climbing it! It’s just a shed load of fun, that song and that speed with the near misses makes this one crazy ride. The trains are so beautiful too as is the station and queue. I’m pretty sure they got their Inspiration for this from Goldfrapp’s “Twist” music video too aha.

First Drop Fun Ejectors Capacity
I had no knowledge of this ride on my first ride, that lift into the drop was actually terrifying and a genuine surprise. The air time hill immediately after that drop does not get talked about enough, my soul left my body! The little quirks this has made it a ride I’ll never forget and probably some of the most fun/fear I’ve had on a rollercoaster, and it’s just a Maurer spinner!
-
Fun Layout Too short
It’s a cute little boomerang, great for kids that’s aren’t ready to ride the likes of Taron. The station is cool and the lift hill is genuinely disguised. But at the end of the day it’s a kids boomerang. Probably one the best themed boomerangs out there though.

Theming Location Fun Discomfort Dead spots
As far as classic mine trains go, it’s top tier, but I still don’t like riding it, the seats will mess your back up if your remotely tall and the length of the trains kill any momentum coming of and up drops. The best part is the bit in pitch black darkness. It’s a LOT of fun, but my back hates it.
-
Fun Harness Duration
It’s the perfect rollercoaster, not my favourite, but it’s perfection. The loading system is genius, the restraints are so comfortable, the launches are unlike any other due to the prone position. The soundtrack is epic as is the scale of the theming. If any cons: no gift shop with merch, the queue is sooooooooooo long, which is great on first ride because you get to take in every inch of the area, but on re rides prepare for a leg workout! This model puts B&M flyers to shame and I can only assume the reason there isn’t another one out there is due to price.
-
Theming Inversions Intensity Too short
It’s better than Nemesis and it’s better than the Batman clones. The theming is jaw dropping, i actually really enjoyed queuing for it because of the theming and its interaction with the queue path. The station is one the coolest out there and the forces this thing pulls in the turns and inversions is incredible. I just wish it was longer, but that’s only because it’s so god damn good.
-
Theming Launch Layout Dead spots
It’s fast, whippy and beautiful. Throughput is gold star. Shame about the last few corners before the second launch and the trims on the final “air time” hill kill what would be an incredible finish.
-
Capacity Fun Duration Theming
Queue is well themed and tells story for the ride well, even though I don’t speak Spanish it was easy to follow. The ride system was very cool and the launches had a good punch to them, but as everyone else says the theming stops after the first turn… I hope they invest and give the ride the extra theming it deserves.
-
Theming Launch Intensity Rattle Headbanging Capacity
A load of fun, it’s that rough it’s hilarious. The launch is top notch and layout it’s fine, if it had just one airtime hill it would be fantastic. That inline twist is absolutely mental too! And it’s about WINE!!!
-
Capacity Intensity Layout Rattle Headbanging Intensity
It’s iconic and will always be one of the most beautiful coasters out there, but it’s showing its age now and it’s rough! The zero g roll is far too aggressive, and the positive Gs seem to be just a bit lacking. It’s still an awesome ride, but superman in parque Warner Madrid really outshines dragon khan.
-
Airtimes Pace Smoothness Capacity
Amazing floater airtime with some pops of ejector, every hill gives as good as the last, but that first airtime hill is a masterpiece, it’s also one of the prettiest coasters I’ve ever seen. Theming is on point too. It’s shame it’s not run more efficiently, as the high capacity train (3of them) could eat the queues if it had a fighting chance.

Theming Capacity Disappointing! Discomfort Dead spots
Pointless meandering for first two sections, last drop and turn are the highlight( but that’s still not great).
