A pretty ride, fun interactions with Wodan and the nearby path, but it's hard to call this a roller coaster. The top section is a nice addition to the "water ride experience" though.

This ride tries to be 2 things at once, and both substract from eachother. This would have been an excellent darkride without the outdoor powered roll...

This ride tries to be 2 things at once, and both substract from eachother. This would have been an excellent darkride without the outdoor powered roller coaster part tacked onto it.

Revisiting Silver Star after visiting its modern brother in PortAventura has me convinced that this is the superior B&M Hyper in Europe. The first hills have a ton of airtime, and have also been improved massively by replacing the old trim brakes. After the mid-course brake run, the intensity is turned up (rather than turned down like its Spanish counterpart), and there are multiple strong ejector moments. Even the banked turns are very forceful seconds before the final brakes.

The highlight of this ride is definitely its theming and the wonderfully intimidating pre-show! On the other side, the tunnels on the top of the bunnyhops take away from a free experience, and the laterals in certain corners remind of a Wild Mouse (not in the good way).

My 100th rollercoaster! Rita might not be as fast as the other 2 Intamin Accelerators I've been on (Stealth and Furius Baco), but the launch still packs a serious punch. On the front row, there is no rattle, and the big sweeping turns and bunnyhops are fast and enjoyable.

The Smiler blew me away. Very unique theming, great interaction with the second train and with the queue, a very long and comfortable ride experience, and intense from start to finish. The second chainlift is definitely needed to catch your breath.

The ride itself (both as Rock 'n Rollercoaster as its current iteration) are decent. The first launch and subsequent inversions are snappy and exciting, and the rest of the ride is fairly tame compared to it. But, the ride recieved a significant downgrade with its metamorphosis away from Rock 'n Rollercoaster. The layout has a lot of dead spots, which were previously filled in very nicely by the rock music and swirling disco lights. But instead of Iron Man or Captain Marvel flying alongside you or having other effects to look at, there is just... Darkness! A missed chance for an aging coaster like this, and it's hard to give this a better rating than it's outdoors counterpart at Walibi Holland. Hoping Disney will invest in more effects along the way.

A relentless layout, the countless bunnyhops never stop barraging you with positive and negative forces, and the final twist might just be the best part of the ride.

First half of the ride was surprisingly nice, having a lot of cool interactions with the path and other trains. The second half is just a giant dead spot. The brakes are way too sharp.

Very intense and thrilling ride! Feels like a constant battle between the rough track and the super comfortable train seats. The backwards ride is wor...

Very intense and thrilling ride! Feels like a constant battle between the rough track and the super comfortable train seats. The backwards ride is worth waiting for. The train's rattle sound is also very unique.

At time of writing this, the coaster has 2 cycles, even though the first corner towards the lifthill is not made for it at all (It is sharp and unbanked). Beware.

An awesome 2023 rollercoaster. Every element is forceful, no matter how big or small. The triple launch has you flying out of your seat, into your seat, and free falling, one after another. Parc Asterix's theming style also makes this coaster shine even more.

If any roller coaster classified as a work of art, Dragon Khan is the one. 25 years ago, 5 year old me faced this roller coaster from the Chinese wall promenade, coming from the Western themed area. I was too small to ride it, but the sight of it changed the trajectory of my life forever. Today I returned with high expectations, and Dragon Khan far exceeded them. A beauty to behold from every angle. The ride is fierce, the vertical loops have a surprising amount of force, and there are next to no dead spots. With Shambhala right next to it, it might be a contrarian opinion to like Dragon Khan the most, but in my opinion its intensity is unmatched by any other steel non-launch coaster in Europe I've experienced so far. I'm bumping down most of my previous 5 star ratings to 4.5 to put Dragon Khan with the elites; it's well deserved. A true masterpiece.
