Fun and smooth family coaster with a nice duration and some okay theming. The chainlift slowing at the top, almost like a pre-drop holding brake, is pretty cool.

Janky in many ways - from the ridiculous supports, to the maintenance shed of a station, to the eye-level wheel joints when boarding, to the seemingly tiny clearance, and so much more. That said, the 2 vertical loops pack a lot of force, and the structure itself is a spectacle to look at.

Wow! Not expecting much of this (super noisy) spinner, but this ride has a lot going for it. Great views, decent theming, and a lengthy and fun layout...

A terrifying chainlift and first drop, only held in place by the sketchy X-Car lapbar, I was fearing for my life. What followed was a fast and great layout. A little rattly but still quite comfy. There's no theming, and capacity is very poor. But for a park this size, this is a great eyecatcher and a very thrilling "headline" rollercoaster.

The slim and beautiful tracks and the awesome interaction of the 2 rides really give YoY an edge. However, the ride feels very small due to the tiny trains and tight turns, without any real theming. Chill is the superior side, though barely. The great negative G-forces and getting a good look at the Thrill train flying overhead more than make up for it's tame finale. I was lucky enough to join the exclusive pre-opening event in which there was barely any waiting time. I imagine the low capacity will become annoying during regular openings. During those days, I'd rather re-ride the other bigger coasters in the park.

The slim and beautiful tracks and the awesome interaction of the 2 rides really give YoY an edge. However, the ride feels very small due to the tiny trains and tight turns, without any real theming. Thrill is the lesser side, though barely. The inversions and faster elements are fun but often forceless, making it feel like a mild version of Untamed.

Expected the worst, but this ride was not nearly as awful as its ranking makes it out to be. Take a middle seat and brace yourself, and you'll be just fine. You don't see the train closing around your back, so it feels like you're simply lying on your chest with no restraints, which makes the two inversions really scary and fun. Beautiful lighting as well.

Airtime machine! I had a blast riding Hyperia. The first drop is unlike any other, the zero-G stall takes an eternity, and the outer banked roll feels like you're completely gone flying. The positive, uplifting theme is great, the soundtrack up the lifthill enhances the experience even further, and the coaster is really nice to look at throughout the park. There's no dead spots, although the coaster doesn't pack as much punch as most modern thrill coasters. But the real major downside is that the ride time from the top of the chainlift to the first brake run is only 30 seconds, which is around half the ride time of the other greatest of Europe, such as Hyperion or Kondaa.

The biggest surprise at Prater. This might be the best Boomerang in the world. The custom trains have big seats with plenty of legroom and comfortable restraints, similar to just a lap bar, which give you a lot of freedom. The added tunnel was also surprisingly exciting.

Serious forces in such a tiny layout. Great first drop, good duration, and scary final helix, which is so close to the ground you can almost lick the ...

Olympia Looping has always been a childhood dream to ride. Five loops on a fairground roller coaster seemed unreal as a little kid, back when I couldn't even point out Vienna on a map. And now, standing in front of it after so many years, it's truly an intimidating sight. Gorgeous colors, lighting, and layout. However, the ride experience was less than stellar. The ride duration is great, and it has some serious G-forces in the loops and turns. But the "accordeon" restraints drop on top of your shoulder, and can move even further down during the ride, compressing your spine if you're not prepared. I felt like this could cause serious injury if I wasn't careful. And having to think about this just ruined the overall experience.

Cool photogenic interaction with the path and a nearby pond. Everything you would want out of a modern wild mouse. Quick operations help with this ride's poor capacity.

Other than Kondaa, Pulsar is the star of the show at Walibi Belgium. Prominently in the middle of the park, it catches your eye from far away. The launch strip, the big rotating loading platform, and the quick-filling water basin are cool to look at, and give the ride an almost futuristic feeling without needing any theming at all. Be warned: The back row will get you absolutely soaked.

Giving this one the glorious half-star rating for being a health hazard. Absolutely and positively the worst ride I have been on so far. The entire ride is paired with the lapbar gut-punching you every other second. Anticipate the first drop to be fun, and you will be rewarded with a beating. Dead spots feel like a relief, but even then, the wheels scrape over the track like a train over a rusty switchyard, an assault on your eardrums. The big padded seats cannot compensate for this dreadful ride experience. There is nothing good about this ride, and if it were an option, I would give this ride 0 stars. I would say this ride needs an RMC redesign, or a complete re-track. But what it needs most of all right now is to be closed before someone gets seriously injured.

The first drop on boomerangs is always extra scary. However, I had expected more force, akin to Raik in Phantasialand. All in all it's just too short and uneventful to be exciting. The ride going over water is nice though.

Formula is a great ride stuck in a park of much greater rides. The launch is snappy, the loops are comfortable and intense, and the theme is decent. It's just on the short side, and within Energylandia now outclassed by Abyssus in every way. In another smaller park, this would have been their star ride.

Super smooth and enjoyable double launch coaster. Not the most intense ride in the park by far; not even in the top 3. Long duration, good forces in the helices and the second launch. Nice theming, though the big maintenance shed right next to the first launch is very ugly. All in all a great ride.

A titan of a coaster. The sense of speed on this ride is unmatched by any other non-launch coaster I have been on so far. It is much more intense than the bigger B&Ms thanks to the variety in elements and forces. The first drop is terrifying, the following camelback and diveloop are filled with lots of airtime. The rest of the ride has small, close to the ground elements, despite the ride still having tons of momentum. Fast dives, helices, and ejector hills. Great capacity and a smooth ride. Only the lack of outside theming stops this coaster from being a true masterpiece.

Stunning ride to look at. Extreme pace. Awesome elements, including the very photgenic first drop and large upside-down stall. Some of the drops diving into the support structure are terrifying. The second part of the ride has even stronger G-forces. All in all a world-class ride. Only a few downsides keep it from a perfect score: The theming is scarce, up to the point of the entrance being difficult to find. The dives into supports remove the sense of the extreme speeds, especially on the huge first drop. And finally, the ride reaches the downward-inclined brake run so fast that it leaves you wanting more.

An alright family darkride/coaster that you wouldn't expect from the exterior. The new theming in the queue is nice, however the theming of the ride itself is lacking, especially the very quiet audio system. Could've made the soundtrack "homage" on the spiral lifthill a little bit more France themed, no?
