Coaster reviews

Theming Layout

Heavily themed and also very picturesque ride. I love second drop.

Pace Layout Duration Rattle

When I saw that in Plohn there is GCI coaster I was maybe a little bit overhyped. As I already rode Wodan or Troy, El Toro isn't that awesome and it rattles more than two mentioned coasters before. I really like how the most of the coaster is lower to the ground - thanks to it, it has very good pace.

Fun

Good Vekoma coaster. Very fun layout. Launch is not dissapointing but not very intense.

Theming Nice surprise! Intensity Capacity

My first classic Vekoma Boomerang and what a surprise it was! I heard so much hate about this type of the coaster so I link it with the SLC's but this experience exceeded my expectations. I love the connection with music and how intense the ride is.

Comfort Fun Smoothness Theming

Much better than water coasters in Europa-Park but I wish Speed had better theming. In the front row it's a soaker!

Inversions Location Fun Rattle

Two weeks ago I rode Abyssus and I enjoyed this new generation Vekoma STC more. It is not intense, it has great inversions that feel really enjoyable with no vests. I like interaction with Volldampf and I think that these two coasters are very good investment for the park. The only con is the rattle - especially in the back in the first half of the coaster, it is not a good sign since the coaster is new.

Theming Smoothness Layout Intensity

Now, when Energylandia has Abyssus, Formula seems to me completely pointless. The first part between launches is very forceless. Even Light Explorers (Vekoma junior boomerang) feels more intense. The drop from the tophead was unexpectably dissapointing. I have never felt the trim hit so hard. It completely ruins this element. Next is the loop, two inversions and corkscrew - this is the best part of the coaster. After the corkscrew it looses speed again up to the breakrun. Nothing changes later in the day. I imagine this will be an ideal coaster for average ordinary visitor of the park. I have lots of friends like that. They will enjoy this a lot and from this point of view this coaster is a perfect addion.

Theming Fun

The theming for this ride is very good. Soundtrack the queue line. I prefer this one to the one in MPG.

Comfort

I was amazed by the seats. More comfortable than lots of seats from extreme coasters. Coaster itself is just kiddie coaster.

First Drop Theming Intensity

I understand why Krake for lots of people is not a good coaster. For me it was the first big coaster I have ever ridden and I will never forget how I felt before the drop. After the drop into the mouth of an octopus I greyout for my first time. I prefer it to Baron 1898 (too low drop but slightly better theming and great story) but Oblivion: The black hole is better (better layout, better queue line).

Location Fun Smoothness

The best Wing Coaster that I have ridden in one of the most beautiful park location in the world. Amazing soundtrack, theming, also good intensity and hangtime.

Airtimes Comfort Ejectors

Incredible coaster. The only sad thing is, that Hyperion is in Energylandia alongside Zadra and Zadra is even better. But it's world class / top coaster. My favorite part of the track is the first airtime hill. It's on of the best airtime moments you can have on roller coaster. Perfect!

Airtimes First Drop Duration Theming Capacity

Last year I have ridden Goliath at Walibi Holland and since I really enjoyed it, I wanted to try Expedition GeForce that I heard is even better. Goliath pros: Stengel dive, helixes with lots of force, the last turn. GeForce pros: Better first drop, more airtime and more airtime again! It is an airtime machine. It ages very well. I think that it does not need a better theming but what I really do not like is, that the Holiday Park has the worst operations ever. One train only on a summer weekend plus 5-8 minutes per one round of the train is completely nonsense, but it is not a problem of the coaster. The best seat for me was in the last car on the left side.

Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

The second worst SLC I've ridden.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

The best coaster in Movie Park, the best Gerstlauer Bobsled I've ridden yet. I like the train design, very intense dark - like wildmouse - part and the visual effect that I don't want to talk about and spoil it.

Fun Harness Hangtime Launch Intensity

A little bit better than Blue Fire. The elements are more interesting.

Airtimes Theming Comfort

I've been waiting 4 years to ride this beast of the coaster. When I visited Heide Park in 2017 Colossos was closed - refurbishing. So I came back to ride it. 8 rides during the day. In the morning feels slow but at the end of the hot summer day in the back row it is an airtime machine. It kinda feels like wooden version of Hyperion in Energylandia but with less rattle (plus) and less intesity (minus). All in all I really love what Heide Park did with this coaster. It is amazing.

Capacity Fun Theming

Huge thanks for the operator that let me to get this credit :)

Nice surprise! Fun Duration

I enjoyed Vekoma's Mine train in Gardaland but Colorado Adventure is even better. Perfect family ride.

Theming Smoothness Layout Intensity

First of all - the best coaster from Vekoma that I have ridden. If this coaster was build in the parking lot, I would rate it with 3 stars at most and it would be just pretty average coaster. What makes the great experience to me, is everything all around the coaster. Soundtrack and all of the amazing work that Phantasialand made in Rookburgh. It is spectacular and probably one of the best in the world.

Theming Pace Intensity

After three B&M Wing coasters, three Dive coasters and one Hyper coaster I was expecting something less intense. But my God! Black Mamba is very instense and I love intense coasters!

Theming Launch Layout

I was expecting Taron to be absolutely amazing but he was even better and exceeds my expectation in all of the ways. I have ridden him the first train in the morning and on the late afternoon and I have to say, that I have never seen some other coaster to warm up like Taron. Taron is fast in the morning but is even much faster in the afternoon. Spectacular. Full package. Great soundtrack, amazing location in Klugheim, no dead spots. No more words needed. Go to Phantasialand and ride Taron.

Theming Fun Hangtime Lap Bar

For it's footprint, Sky Scream is awesome. It looks good offride and also from the queue. From 4 rides that I have, it was very hard for me to place my legs the way it did not pinch with the edge of the lap bar. I love to ride coaster with hands up in the air and when it is not 100% fitted, it may hurts. I have never had this problem to do it with other coaster manufacturers, but Sky Scream was my first coaster from Premier Rides. But when I made it, the ride was really amazing. I love the launch, hangtime in the Top and forces in turns.

Theming Comfort Fun Layout Intensity

When you enter the queue, try to scan a ticket, that was already used. This coaster is really great looking. The theming is very good. I love the design of the train. Before it starts to climb the fast lift hill, it smokes from the exhausts - what a cool effect! The biggest con of this ride is lots of midcourses that slow the train just too much.

Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

I've ridden Viking in Energylandia. I've ridden El Condor in Walibi. Now I can proudly say, that I've ridden 3 the worst coasters in the world even that it didn't worth it.

Fun Layout Capacity

Layout is really good fun but a little bit rough in some sharp curves. The surroundings of this coaster looks good.

Intensity Layout Duration

I heard lots of praise about Troy even before I rode it. There was a very big chance that I am gonna be dissapointed. But I wasn't! Troy is awesome! And with Fénix they are strong duo of this park. I also love the soundtrack.

Theming Nice surprise! Intensity

Much better than I was expecting in every way. Audio is good and it is also very rerideable.

Theming Smoothness Intensity

In comparison with Oblivion: The black hole or Krake, the first drop is a big con for me. It doesn't work. For a dive coaster that should be scary moment but on Baron is not. With the highest drop it would be much better coaster. It is very good, but could be much better.

Theming Fun Duration

World class theming. Amazing soundtrack. Great design of the boat. Perfect indoor section. But as a coaster I prefer Intamin's water coaster like Speed in Energylandia.
