The dreaded jolt at the corkscrews seems to be fixed now - we rode in the last row and didn't notice anything. It is not as smooth as Python, but still pretty good to ride - actually fun!

Easily the best ride at Gardaland: Nicely themed with several near-misses and a layout which could be a bit more forceful - but nevertheless, Raptor is great fun!

Definetely a great ride, but for me, not worth the hype: Yeah, it has an awesome launch, the top hat is superb and pacing is pretty high. But the layout is a bit too repetitive -besides the two inversions and one or two good airtime moments, it does not do much for me: mostly right turns and the exit from the block brake has a noticable jolt which might smack your face with these bulky restraints. But nevertheless one of the best coasters in Italy!

Easily the best ride of the park: Theming is nicely done (but the scenes were still a bit incoherently), the ride runs glossy smooth and has a short, but surprisingly intense layout in the dark with a fun surprise!

A really intense ride - a bit more rattly than Sik, but nothing too bad. During my visit, the park was really empty - as an extreme challenge, you cou...

A really intense ride - a bit more rattly than Sik, but nothing too bad. During my visit, the park was really empty - as an extreme challenge, you could make several hundred inversions in one day ;)

Easily the worst mine train out there: Theming is only okay from the outside (and pretty much nonexistant during the ride), the layout is dull and poorly paced and runs quite shaky.

Shock is a really fun ride! After a snappy launch, you have an unsual layout with a nice pacing and good variety. The only cons are the weird section of track before the launch which I don't get and especially in the back row, you have a bit of a rattle - but that does not distract too much from this star attraction of Magic Land!

Ouch! One of the roughest and uncomfortable rides out there - the bulky restraints were covered in duct tape and did not look trustworthy. The only good thing: it only ran one lap :D

A kick-ass first drop, blistering pacing and an fluid layout full of great elements - especially the stall rides great and looks stunning. Also, the coaster as a whole looks just majestic and is extremely photogenic. Only con might be the final brake run, which is pretty harsh - so brace for that! But aside from that - what is not to love about Zadra?

Leider hat mich die hochgelobte Lisebergbanan ein wenig enttäuscht. Klar ist es eher ein Family Coaster, aber trotzdem hat mir die Fahrt nicht so viel gegeben - das Layout sieht leider spannender aus, als es in Wirklichkeit ist (einige "Dead Spots", wo der Zug ziemlich langsam wird), dazu habe ich von der Laufruhe mehr erwartet. Gelungen ist jedoch die wirklich lange Fahrzeit, die Ausblicke vom Hügel und Interaktion mit den benachbarten Attraktionen sowie die Gestaltung der Station. Kleiner Tipp: in der letzten Reihe fand ich die Fahrt am uninteressantesten - je weiter vorne man sitzt, desto rasanter kam sie mir vor.

A small trick for more comfort: try to slide back in your seat as much as possible before closing the strange lap bar - your stomach will thank you. Asides from that, I enjoyed this woodie more than I thought: It has a long and diverse layout, has some decent out of control feeling without being too rough (the thick seat paddings help to make it more comfortable) and there are some decent airtime moments. A heavily underrated ride in the fan community!

This is the most boring wooden coaster i've been on so far. Theming and the overall appearance is quite nice, but the ride itself is disappointing: Especially in the morning, the train loses speed really quickly and the layout is, except of the drop, the following turn and the final tunnel very repetitive. There are some small hills without any airtime and the rest of the layout are turns and changes in direction, which are taken too slow to be fun. Yawn...

2010: An unforgettable experience, but not in a good way at all - ouch! The worst coaster I have been on. 2023: Still a really bumpy ride (especially when warmed up!), but thanks to the new vest restraints, it does not hurt. In fact, it is one of the better SLC's now!

Albeit being not as nicely themed as the ride in Hasselt, this is still a great looking kiddie coaster. It is a good start for ongoing coaster enthusiasts and the dark ride part is a nice feature!

A decent kiddie coaster: While theming is rather mediocre (the other two coasters at Plopsa Indoor Hasselt and Coevorden are better themed), the dark ride part is still a nice feature. The ride itself fulfils its purpose of being a family-friendly ride suitable for every age, it is fun and runs really smooth!

This ride is a strange one: first of all, the seating position is extremely low, so the cars start to sway sideways at the minimum of movement you make while sitting in them. Secons, your restraint is a simple seat belt over your lap which attaches you on the bench you sit in a straddled position. And beware of the block brakes, they can hit pretty hard (which is not always the case, though)! Tranan feels just unique, you can't finde sensations like this on any other coaster I can think of.
