    Lap Bar Launch Pace Rattle

    It has been a very long time since i wasnt feeling nervous for a ride. Operations and operators were nice and effective, good vibe in the station. The ride is an impressive experience, and very intense in the heat.

    Nice surprise! Fun Intensity Theming Capacity

    Well, wasnt expecting anything at all, after a chaotic 1hour wait i was almost pissed and couldnt wait to leave the ride zone, but the ride took me by surprised. The spinning add some forces and centrifugal feeling, the launches, turns were surprisingly intenses, and the "swing" has so much potential. The operations however are bad as fuck, capacity of the ride is stupid and the queueline felt a bit opprressive and suffocating and the theming in the ride is questionable.

    Airtimes First Drop Capacity Rattle Too short

    I rode this beast during a very hot summer day, couldnt have any better conditions to pull up the best from this ride. However i found it pretty underwhelming. The drop and the first hill makes the layout, after this i felt frustrated all along. It has some intensity toward the front rows (which in my opinions felt better than in the back), but the airtimes were lacking of a woaw effect, the first hill makes its point because it is sustained, but i was frustrated by the floaty feeling. The dynamic amplitude between morning and afternoon is huge, only around 2pm the ride is showing up its fierce. The ride was rattling, sometimes a bit agressively to my taste (not forgetting that is a world class b&m hyper with a layout glass smooth). The fault might have to be PA maintenance, trying to save on the wheels probably. Dispatch every 5min, yey.

    Nice surprise! Fun Layout

    Twister was a lovely surprise. such a class and elegant ride, shaped as the traditional pier wooden coaster this packs a lot of punch and surprise for a nice "out of control" feeling experience. first drop well executed and the layout hide some crazy narrow turns. I loved it it beats everything in its category !

    First Drop Location Smoothness Too short Dead spots

    I wasn't expecting anything from Monster and it just did the job. The highlight of the ride is obviously the drop, but after it is quite disappointing and not that intense (at all). The ride is all about filling the empty spot of the inversions-ride in the park. Still an audacious structure, can't admire enough the design and work on the structure, the layout is flying above the alleys since it always been there.

    Masterpiece Intensity Layout

    I could have add so many other pros. First of all, ofc this ride isn't perfect but it is a combo of many parameters, all are so well balanced it makes its way very easily to the top: creativity, unique layout, technology, theming & music, intensity, comfort. This is the most fun ride i ever been on, disguised as a high thrills machine this gives the opportunity to family to test their limits without being too impressive imo. Every ride was a slap in my face, couldn't stop laughing and each time was a different experience from the other ones, that says everything ! Front car is the best but every cars worth it, the middle car are sooooo much fun as everybody is looking at everybody, super cosy and real fun experience.

    Location Fun Smoothness

    A true relique and centerpiece of Grona Lund. The ride itself isn't really good, but the charm operates everytime. The location plus the near missed and complex track structure makes the experience so epic !

    Nice surprise! Intensity Capacity

    After hearing some much bad about this machine, i was expecting the worst if not nothing. Surprisingly i had very fun time on this machine. Positioned toward the sea view, the illusion and feeling was really good, the last drop was an absolute experience. I barely understand how they manage to make it legal at some points after i observed the ride. Insane is truly Insane if you're able to have a comfortable ride (and it happens !)

    Lap Bar Location Too short Capacity

    This ride is to me a wasted potential. The VIA group did an interesting investment between Redfire and Nefeskessen, however Nefeskessen really missed more actions. Layout is okay but only focus on a 5sequence elements: top hat, airtime, immelmann, stengel dive and heartline roll. Top hat because of its location on the hill feels awesomely aerial, airtime was fine and immelman more intense than i expected, loved the snappiness of stengel dive and ending with good laterals into the heartline. Ride is short, capacity is awful, first 1train ops and secondly the staff does not know how to operate this kind of machine for sure, 5min per dispatchs, 45min queue for a very small crowd, mostly cause people were behaving stupid in the station and the lazyness of the staff. it could have be a really nice one but it ended to be okay. still fun and intense tho.

    Airtimes Fun Intensity

    One of 2021's headliner does not disappoint. Never ever i've been waiting that much for a ride since its announcement, and beside my high expectations i wasn't disappointed, AT ALL. The layout is almost flawless (to my tastes) beside its humble height, + some nice surprising moments like that INSANE NICR . Take in consideration that the coaster is very moody, weather conditions and warming change quite a lot the ride experience from amazing to insane.. The package "theme + exiting layout" is well fulfilled, layout smartly executed. This def might give some of the world-standards rides some cold sweats, the future is bright ! However still an Intamin's very capricious children, reliability isn't on point yet but this is going to shift by the time for sure !

    Theming Smoothness Duration Discomfort

    Fly is a masterpiece in its category: familial ++. Gorgeous theming which procures a very complete sensorial experience, i felt like a child for my first ride, maybe the hype blinded me a bit when it comes to judge it properly, but the overall experience and the story behind it make it so unique and incredible. The interaction and the feeling of flying plus the duration make it a worthy ride to wait for, even more that its capacity is amazing for this kind of ride, never wait more than 30min even when the waiting lines reach the entrance stairs ! I'm impressed by the amount of staff that this machine needs, this is insaneeeeee and must cost so much to operate it's unbelievable, thanks it's in Phantasialand and their great management ! If i had to say some negativeness about it i would say that the layout is lacking a short on -the-back element to bring some weirdness and surprise in the body feeling. For the first time in my life i felt dizzy and nauseous after some rides. The zone is still not as pretty as Klugheim to me but it truly feels like a dream child vision !

    Capacity Disappointing! Tear it down! Dead spots

    This coaster was a part of my early teenagehood dream, finally got the opportunity to ride it this summer after its long decaying closure and rehabilitation, i was expecting something. Visually the ride is beautiful, after a 2h wait (lol), here comes the ride. Flat drop rct-like designed, the famous hills are quite disappointing, pointles as all the boring layout, bunny hops at the end absolutely does nothing aswell. Finally the ride ends, sad enough to constate that this coaster is badly over-rated, yet smooth, fast paced for the 2first hills and then everything disappears as the exitment. i had the impression that i lost my time, even in the august heat with a ride operating at full capacity at the end of the day. At least the only good thing is its capacity but it makes you still able to wait a ridiculous amount of time for such a......poor ride. Honnestly would have been better to tear it down and build something new on top of it than spending 12M++ in a rehab. Clearly, Colossucks, it sucks so hard omg

    Intensity Smoothness Layout

    Lech coaster is so much fun, and the first ride to give me greyout on every single ride. The positives aren't that intenses, but sustained enough for you to get little stars in your head and even lost the vision like a true big badass coaster, WOW. The smoothness is exemplary, it's like skateboarding on marble (even if it had rattles at some rides in the end of the day but this might be occured by the gear and wheels), the layout isn't really focused on something in particular, it's diverse, melting inversions with pace, snappy transition, banked turns and valleys sucking you in your seat and some airtime, but this is not a negative g machine at all. Such a shame the operators don't really take care of the train, they don't buckle up the seatbelts, so it's banging everywhere on the seats and cause some consequents damages with the time.
