Lisebergbanan should have been the coaster called Helix, because that's what it does for 99% of its ride cycle. It's a fun ride, if you don't expect too much from it. I thought it maintained its speed rather well and as a result took its turns quite well. Those age old Schwarzkopf trains allow this to feel like a proper classic. Definitely ride when you're in the park.

Katun is one of the most underrated rollercoasters in all of Europe. It is unusually tall and the speed at which you take the inversions on this ride is unreal. The cobra roll hammers you into your seat, while the zero-g-roll gives the complete opposite sensation of weightlessness Obviously the comfort is amazing, as is expected of a B&M invert like this. I really do believe this is the best coaster in the park, and that is not a diss to iSpeed. It's just that good.

At only 36 meters tall, Untamed somehow manages to outperform coasters that are double its height. It has a large sum of ejector airtime and the inversions are stellar. For Walibi Holland's standards, the theming is really good too. The station is beautiful and the queue has pieces of the old Robin Hood scattered throughout. RMCs restraints will never be my favourite because of the shin guards, but the slight amount of discomfort doesn't prevent this from being one of the best coasters in all of Europe. A truly incredible ride that should be on everyone's bucket list.

Monster was the first large scale rollercoaster I rode in Sweden and I think this coaster's main selling point is how they managed to fit its support structure into such a small plot of land, that already had things built on it. The track is beautiful to look at and it naturally sounds amazing. In terms of the ride itself, it is very fun, but you can tell that this is a newer invert. It misses that unhinged intensity that you'd get from a ride like Katun at Mirabilandia, or Monster at Walygator Parc. The brake run is slanted downwards and dives underground, which is a really cool effect. Obviously capacity and comfort are top notch as you'd expect from a (pre-2023) B&M.

To this date it's the only B&M hyper I've done, though I will be doing Shambala in a couple weeks. The coaster looks amazing and has a very imposing stature as you approach the park, but actually riding it is not nearly as interesting as looking at it. The comfort is incredible. The B&M clam restraints along with these seats are hard to beat. And then there's the absolutely monstrous capacity. I've been in this park when it's absolutely flooded with people and seen Silver Star only get a 40 minute line at most.
With that being said, the airtime is weak and as a result the entire first half feels somewhat pointless. The layout picks up speed in the second half, giving more pops of floater airtime and even some ejector as you come off the mid-course brake run. However, for such a tall coaster from such a reputable brand you expect just that little bit more. I think overall 3.5/5 is a fair rating for a ride like this.
