First of all, the preshow before boarding is a really cool feature (now canceled due to COVID) and theming in the queue is nice. The ride itself is not intense, but still provides some fun: The backwards spike is especially in the back row really cool, the drop from the top hat provides some airtime and thanks to the comfortable blue-fire-style trains and lap bars, the comfort is pretty good. Unfortunately, pacing is very low, even when warmed up, there is strong hangtime in the inversions. The beginning with the switch track is quite impressing, when the whole train smoothly glides sidewards towards the launch track almost completely without a sound. Unfortunately, this coaster has a lot of downtime and operations are usually quite slow...

The catchy soundtrack "Project EuroMir" is an absolute highlight, so the slow lift kinda feels like a rave, but it also leads to a high capacity and a long duration of the ride (almost five minutes long). After the "Wild Mouse"-Style curves around the towers offering nice views, the actual coaster part is pretty intense, especially when facing backwards. Unfortunately, the cars are quite uncomfortable and the ride can get very rough, especially when warmed up - but in the Winter season, this Russian coaster runs a lot smoother than in summer. Additionally, the winter soundtrack is one of the coolest christmas songs ever!

Since this coaster recieved shiny new trains, the ride experience is now much smoother than before. Besides that, Alpina Bahn has never been a bad ride: The first drop is especially in the back surprisingly whippy, the big hill provides some nice little floater airtime and the rest of the classic layout is also great fun with good forces. Additionally, the overall appearance is impressive, there is even some light theming. To sum things up, I can strongly recommend Alpina Bahn - one of the largest and best travelling rollercoasters!

The best travelling coaster out there. First of all, the overall appearance of this coloss is stunning and it looks fantastic with those five loops resembling the Olympic rings. The only major downside of this coaster are the rather narrow trains and the weird restraints which are not really comfortable, but the ride itself is awesome: it's intense, forceful and really long. Aditionally, it runs pretty smooth! I love Olympia Looping and ride it everytime I get the chance to, who knows how long this beauty is still remaining to us?
UPDATE August 2021: In Luxembourg, this ride was unfortunately surprisingly rough (even in second row), maybe it depends on the trains and if warmed up...

Theming is surprisingly well done for this park (there are even some shock effects included) and the ride provides very much thrill on a really small footprint - my favourite moments are the heartline roll with excellent hangtime at the highest point of the ride and the following steep drop is especially in the back rows pretty intense. In the front, there is a nice airtime moment before the inversion.
In fact, this coaster feels more than a thrilling flatride than a traditional rollercoaster, because there are no conventional turns.
The lap bars are alright, but the shin guards can get quite uncomfortable, especially after several rides...
Another downside is the shortness of the ride, after multiple laps it might get a little boring, but overall it's okay and I can recommend this ride for everybody looking for thrills!
Plus, the high-pitched whistling noise of the LSM launch fits perfectly to the ride's name and theme :)

The ride experience turned out to be surprisingly smooth, but the harness is a real faff: additionally to the lap bar, you are secured by a seatbelt over the shoulder AND the lap bar must be secured by another belt. This system seems over-the-top for this (not really intense) coaster - I mean: some old Pinfaris with the same layout don't even have any restraints!
And beware of the opening times of the outdoor area, outside of the summer season, it is often opened towards midday...

I think this ride is not nearly as bad as many people make it. Yes, it has little to no theming, slow operations, unsightly looking trains and the ride is really rough (especially in the last row), but in the middle row of each car, it's quite bearable. I like the classic layout of this ride, combined with the rustic ride it's quite thrilling and especially a night ride is a very intense experience you'll never forget and I can strongly recommend. Actually, I had most fun of the day during my recent visit at Halloween Horror Festival riding this coaster!

The ride itself provides a smooth, and fun flying experience even for the youngest - in the last row, the first drop is quite fun. Unfortunately, lines are often quite long due to the single train and there is barely any theming - the station looks a little worn out and the ride itself seems like a travelling coaster. But for the target audience, it is alright!

A nice hybrid between a family coaster and a dark ride. While the preshow gets a bit annoying after multiple rides (the changed preshow after 6:30 PM during Halloween season is funnier), theming is very well done: there are many references to other rides at Movie Park Germany and several small details to discover. My favorite part of the ride is the scene with the tornado. With three trains, operations were quite good. As mentioned above, during "Halloween Horror Festival", the ride is changed for people over 16 years with another setting, more intense effects and some splatter scenes - I can also recommend this version of the ride. All together, this ride is a real winner for Movie Park Germany!

I could add many more pros to the ones mentioned above becaus this ride is incredibly good: First of all, the overall apperance is beautiful with the small castle and the lake. The queue is also really nice, it even has a small preshow room. The trains look awesome and they are really comfortable with the vest restraints. The layout leaves nothing to desire, there is a whippy first drop, some very intense turns (I even noticed a slight greyout in one of them), great airtime and three inversions - the one through the castle above the station is a really fantastic interaction with the station building. Additionally, the pacing and smoothness is superb, so this is one of my favourite coasters and I would love to see many more of these new generation Vekomas in Europe.

A great and intense launch, some forceful turns and a nice airtime hill here and there. Due to its short track lenth, this ride is not outstanding, but still quite good!

We queued 90 minutes for this coaster, but it was worth it. Our ride was in the last row at late afternoon and albeit not being very intense, this coaster is just enjoyable: it is smoother than many steel coasters, there are some nice artime moments and it is a quite long ride. Additionally, this coaster looks stunning due to its huge size, the fire-spitting monster is a nice gimmick and I also really like the epic soundtrack of this ride. A small con are the safety belts, which slow down the dispatches and feel unnecessary. Overall, there are better wooden coasters out there (Wodan for example), but it is still a great ride.

My first ride on this beast was backwards - when doing this, you can't realize the layout because it's impossible to see what's coming next. I personally prefer the forwards ride - it is still a really enjoyable and fun coaster with many banked drops and some inversion cramped into a really compact layout. Capacity was not a big deal, because it was never more than 20 minutes waiting time while other rides had longer lines (Dreamcatcher, I'm looking at you!) The seats and lap bars of Gerstlauer Infinity Coasters are always nice and comfortable, so some inversions had really great hangtime moments. Another highlight is the top hat, which has a suprisingly strong airtime moment, especially when warmed up. The theming has some good approaches (some rockwork in the queue and some medieval weapons in the station house) - but there could have been done more... It's the best coaster in this park and definitely worth some rides - both forwards and backwards!

This coaster has an unusual, sprawling layout through the woods, the open cars with just a small lap bar are roomy and comfortable and considering its age, the ride still runs pretty smooth. Most of the layout is rather tame and has wide curves, but in the rear of the train, there is even a small airtime moment near the end of the layout. To sum things up, this nice ride provides great fun for every age.

The best coaster of the park: Station and darkride part are nicely themed, there is even an onboard soundtrack and the coaster part with light effects and lasers is simply great fun. The only disadvantage is the queue which is quite narrow, with only little theming and can be quite stifling on hot days. But altogether, it's a great ride and worth a longer wait!

Theming is well done, there is even some nice dispatch music and this a quite long ride located near the lake. The layout looks good on paper, but it doesn't do anything for me: the banked airtime hills are taken too slow to produce those RMC effects, so these elements feel a bit awkward. Overall, the coaster is quite tame, even for a family ride (I considered Huracan as more intense), the weak uphill "launch" is pointless and the spike is nothing more than an optically nice gimmick - the backwards part is just too short to come into effect properly. For such a new ride, the coaster has some jolty moments, but all in all, nothing too dramatic.

Station looks pretty from the outside, but the inside is not nice at all and the queue is just an ugly zig zag path. The ride itself is nothing special - we expected to be beaten up, but the roughness was bearable and there wasn't any headbanging. Those cars are still very cramped and uncomfortable though.

The setting at the lake is pretty nice, but the brightly colored trains look outdated and the white track could get some cleaning. It might be a pretty large junior coaster, but it's not really more intense than others - for children and families it is fine.

This one was a pleasant surprise to us: First of all, the launch packs a great punch and the top hat provided a nice pop of airtime. But the rest of the compact layout was also interesting with many cool elements - when warmed up, this coaster has a great pacing. The cars might be a little cramped, especially for the arms and the smoothness depends on the car or seat, I had four rides on this coaster ranging from "glossy smooth" to "a bit bumpy" - but all together, nothing too dramatic. Due to the younger target audience of Plopsaland, lines for Anubis are usually not very long, despite the low capacity!

Wow, what a beast of a ride - this is nothing less than my new number one coaster! Its creative layout has no dead spots and so many great elements: First of all, the Jojo Roll provides excellent hangtime which feels great in combination with spinning cars and comfortable lap bars. After the launch with a boost of spinning, the top hat has a very strong airtime moment (especially in the first car), just to be dragged downwards afterwards. The banana roll is also quite nice just as the classic looping, which almost feels surreal when taken sidewards. The airtime hill in the second launch is also a fun gimmick, but the "Reverse Twice Twisting Velocity Knot" is my favorite element of the coaster - this double inversion with spinning cars is just insane and feels like an out of control flatride. After some hills and curves there is the ride's furious finale - the double up has two really strong airtime moments before slamming into the brake run. I love the ride's overall intensity without being uncomfortable at any point, thanks to the lap bars and comfortable seats. At some points, there was a minor rattle, but nothing to write home about. Theming is done pretty well, especially the queue and entrance gate is pretty nice - and the coaster cars look fantastic. Musically, this coaster goes all out - while the music in the queue is rather low key but still nice, the onboard soundtrack is absolutely stunning and fits perfectly to this ride. Operators are trying their best to keep waiting times short, but this coaster model seems to have a little longer dispatch time than others. To sum things up, I can recommend this unusual experience to everybody and hope there will be more Mack products of this kind in the future!
