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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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...

This ride packs quite a punch, the forces in the valley are very high. Additionally, the long upside down passage is great fun with lapbars only, but the layout could have been longer and better (looking at Abismo...)

The ride looks more interesting than it actually is and lines are typically quite long, but it is still fun because of the unusual seats, the possibility to manually spin the gondola and the overall uniqueness!

On this coaster, opinions differ widely - I personally really like it: it is a relentless thrillride that stands out of the variety of german rollercoasters. The launch, the inside top hat and the loop are quite forceful, but in fact, they are just the beginning of a white-knuckle ride! The following strange helix provides very high and long-lasting G-forces which led to a greyout at every single ride I took (it was a very hot day, over 30 degrees!) and the rest of the layout is short, but stuffed with many snappy turns and other elements coming in one tour without any pauses in between. This ride is definetely not smooth, but with the comfortable lap bars there wasn't any headbanging, so the rattle was still bearable. Theming in the queue was quite good and the entire ride is beautifully embedded in the landscape, so it is also nice to look at. For me, this ride is the most intense rollercoaster in Germany and I would recommend it to every thrillseeker around!

Compared to other old-style Vekoma rides, this ride runs okay, there might me a little headbanging or some rattle, but nothing too dramatic. All in all, it is alright and the best coaster in the entire park (what is in fact no big deal!)

Considering this is the former "Holly's Wilde Autofahrt", the coaster is way better than before. Nevertheless, the cars are still quite uncomfortable ...

Considering this is the former "Holly's Wilde Autofahrt", the coaster is way better than before. Nevertheless, the cars are still quite uncomfortable and the brakes hit quite hard (at least there are signs warning against them!)

Luckily, Holiday Park removed this piece of scrap metal: additionally to the very uncomfortable cars, it ran awfully rough, every turn gave you bruises and the brakes were hitting that hard it made the safety bar punch into the stomach. Lines were often very long due to the low capacity, the Tabaluga coaster in the hall is way better!

This ride was a positive surprise - nicely themed and quite intense. The launch is not the strongest, but the backwards part provides nice hangtime which is especially fun with those comfortable seats and lap bars. The rest of the layout is crisp and snappy, especually the dive loop is quite whippy and great fun. There might be a slight rattle, but it doesn't mind me, I still really like Gold Rush!

A very compact layout, but for a family coaster, some turns are surprisingly whippy but it still runs smooth like glass and provides great fun. There is no theming at all, but maybe it will come in the future...

A really good family coaster: first of all, the theming was surprisingly good considering the small size of the park, it was on a high level from the queue line to the darkride section. And the ride itself was also good fun for every age. I highly recommend this ride to every coaster enthusiast around Berlin, with a visit at Karl's you can't go wrong.

In my opinion, the ride was not as bad as many people said: Yes, the layout was not the most creative, the restraints were not really comfortable and there was a rattle during the ride, but regarding the respectable age, the riding comfort was still okay. I rode this oldtimer some months before closure (2013) and I even liked it.
