Coaster reviews

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Capacity

The trashy theming made this ride quite funny, it looks more lika a parking garage with disco lights and some alpine scenery objects here and there. Additionally, the interaction with the adjacent Gletscherblitz is a cool feature. Unfortunately, capacity isn't great, so lines are often very long...

Theming Fun

More fun without VR feature...

Comfort Smoothness

One of the best travelling Wild Mouse coasters out there, it is surprisingly smooth!

Location Fun Duration Capacity

One of the best Alpine Coasters I've been on so far, without a slow rider in front of you, it can be quite intense and great fun. Unfortunately, lines are typically very long (we waited around 45-60 minutes for it, later there was a 90 minutes wait...)

Location Fun Theming

A fun water coaster which is more like a log flume than a coaster. You can get decently wet (compared to other German water rides), theming was available in rudimentary form which was unfortunately not completed at my visit in May 2018! I hope this will be the case in the future, because this will be a good upgrade for this ride!

Capacity Layout Duration Rattle Theming Discomfort

This ride has an unusual and interesting layout which is also quite long, but it ran four trains, so lines moved pretty fast. But unfortunately, the spooky theming doesn't fit to this type of coaster and it some really nasty vibrations which even led us to a headache...

Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

After El Condor my second worst SLC I rode, even in the front this ride was a really nasty headbanger!

Location Discomfort Layout

Definetely not a star attraction, but it was still okay considering its age. Yes, there was a rattle, but not as much as I expected and headbanging was not a big problem. The straight piece of track between the drop and the loops is quite strange and the rest of the layout is not really creative, but this coaster looks really nice at its location at the lake. The biggest con are the ugly and uncomfortably narrow trains...

Capacity

Due to the corona virus, the dispatch time was atrociously slow, between two rides were about seven or eight minutes. Despite this, the ride was okay for a family coaster, but theming was not as good as in Europa Park's Alpenexpress...

Inversions Headbanging Discomfort Layout

A rather unspectacular layout which is run very rough, so prepare yourself for quite a lot of headbanging - fun factor was not very high...

Theming Discomfort

First of all, the queue is EXTREMELY long, but with nice theming and even some funhouse-style elements. The first drop is quite intense in the back row, with a very forceful airtime moment which you won't expect on such a small coaster. Unfortunately, the cars are extremely cramped, so my knee smashed against the handrailing during the airtime. The rest of the layout is a little rattly and nothing too spectacular...

Location Layout

The layout is not super creative, but it doesn't have to be so, because this ride should be seen as an oldtimer (even with new trains which make this ride much better than with OSTR's). Besides that, the landscape around looks really nice.

Airtimes Pace Intensity Capacity

One of the best alpine coasters ever: if you don't have a slow person in front of you, this ride can be very intense - especially those airtime hops throw you out of your seat and the lateral forces can also get quite high. Unfortunately, lines are typically very long, but in most cases, this ride is worth waiting for! I really enjoyed my ride on Trapper Slider and will definetely ride it again when I come to Fort Fun!

First Drop Theming Too short Dead spots

This ride is more a water attraction than a traditional rollercoaster, so the main aspects are alright: The big drop is fun and splashdown can get pretty wet, but the small predrop-thingy facing backwards feels rather pointless. On hot summer days, Atlantica is refreshing, but often accompained with long lines compared to a rather short ride.

Theming Duration Rattle Discomfort

This ride is fairly long, but as a result, the queue is often also. The attraction itself and the theming look pretty nice, but the coaster part is a little disappointing: it is not really exciting and it's quite rough. The second part without those curves is more comfortable, and after this, you may get really wet. The rest of the ride is more a relaxed boat ride, which is a nice change to the faster sections.

Theming Smoothness Dead spots

This was the first coaster I rode in my entire life: As a kid, I really enjoyed it, but now it's still a quite good kiddie coaster, especially the setting with the trees and the little lake is nice. For its age, the ride is quite smooth and I like the specific sound of this ride.

Headbanging Discomfort Pointless

The worst coaster at Wiener Prater might seem interesting from a distance, but in fact the layout is quite dull: basically it's the wild mouse of flying coasters with banked turns and two additional heartline rolls. The strange lift and the drops are the most comfortable aspect of the ride, especially the turns and rolls are rough, combined with the uncomfortable sandwichmaker-style cars the overall experience is just awful. Additionally, the whole layout is just as boring and pointless as it looks like...

Location Fun Discomfort

An okay family coaster, the interaction with Nessie's looping is the highlight of this ride!

Launch Capacity Disappointing! Dead spots

One of the strangest coasters I've been on so far: first of all, capacity is very low, so waiting times are usually very high. The launch is the best thing about this ride, but afterwards, it slows down and goes quite slow through those highly banked turns which provides strange lateral hangtime (you only have a safety belt around your lap) and feels a little awkward. For the credit, this ride was okay, but I don't necessarily have to ride it again.

Theming Location

The coaster itself is nothing too spectacular, but it is located in the dark with some light effects and the theming of the queue as a sewer drain is really cool and authentic, there are even narrow corridors you have to crawl through. It's definetely the highlight of this small park.

Nice surprise! Comfort Pace Rattle

A great family coaster! For this coaster type, the ride is pretty intense and has some good G-forces, additionally the trains and lap bars are very comfortable. There is a constant vibration thorough the whole layout, but it isn't dramatic.

Theming Intensity Smoothness

This ride is often overshaded by Taron, but it is still a fantastic inverter: It is glossy smooth and very comfortable, the inversions are great fun (especially the Zero-G-Roll) and the turns provide really strong G-forces. Theming is extremely immersive and the whole area looks absolutely gorgeous. I also really like the station which is basically a cave built underground, which gets dark and plays very loud drumming music everytime a train dispatches. This feature raises the adrenaline level, especially if you don't know about it!

Headbanging Capacity Harness

One of the worst coasters I've been on so far: The capacity is awful, so prepare yourself to wait very long for a coaster which is definetely not worth it! First of all, the over the shoulder restraint is extremely uncomfortable and has no other sense than smashing your head around in every turn. The coaster runs extremely rough and feels cheap. Additionally, it doesn't fit in the park because it looks like a travelling model. I had no more cons to add, so I say: tear this piece of garbage down!

Theming Location Smoothness Intensity

A really nice family-friendly coaster providing a smooth, comfortable ride suitable for all ages and is very nicely themed, especially the station looks great and the train is themed after the German Folk Song "Auf de schwäbsche Eisebahne", which fits perfectly in this full-blooded Swabian theme park. The ride might not be very intense (roughly on the same level as Raik), but there is even a little airtime. The highlight of this coaster is definetely the interaction with "Hals-über-Kopf", which makes this ride way more interesting than it would be without the latter coaster!

Comfort Capacity

For a wild mouse, this one ran pretty smooth and the brakes were almost not noticable.

Rattle Discomfort

I rode it in 2010, and don't really miss this coaster. Untamed is so much better than this rattly, unspectacular ride!

Location Capacity

For a standard wild mouse, it was alright. It ran rather smooth, the brakes were not too hard and it was located upon a small hill, so the view was quite nice. Unfortunately, there were enough cars on the track, but nothing more than one was running at the same time, so capacity was lower than it should be.

Rattle Discomfort Tear it down!

This was the most painful kiddie coaster I've been on: the seats were extremely cramped and uncomfortable (especially for men), the layout was pretty dull and it ran extremely rough, so riders were smashed against the unupholstered sides of the car. Some children were crying after this ride, which I totally can understand, because this might not be the best ride to start the career as an ongoing coaster enthusiast. Luckily, this piece of scrap metal has been removed!

Theming Location Comfort Capacity

The technical stats don't seem really impressing, but it is definetely not a kiddie coaster because of the darkness, especially the mouse curves are quite surprising there. On the other hand, theming is on a very high level, there are even some special effects creating a spooky atmosphere. The only major downside of this ride is the relatively low capacity, so it should be done right in the beginning of the day.

Theming Disappointing! Pointless Intensity

First of all, the queue is nicely themed (including a funny soundtrack) and the seats are quite comfortable. From a distance, the ride looks a little quirky and fun, but in fact, it is far more tame than you would expect because there is a brake every few metres slowing the vehicle drastically. The "freefall-like" segments are kind of castrated, so the ride provides not much more than rocking back and forth which feels rather uninspired...
