Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Fun Layout

Its the Prototype new-gen Vekoma and its a super good ride. The Layout Checks all boxes with positive Gs, negative Gs and Inversions that are different from each other. I pretty much never saw 560m of Track used better. It pathed the way for Vekomas new Era and amazing rides like F.L.Y, so even if it gets overshadowed by Abyssus it still has a special place in my heart for this. So nice that Energylandia rolled the Dice with Vekoma there and won

Theming

I liked Black Mamba more in every aspect, the prelift is unique tho so thats what the theming pro is for. Not a bad ride, but not Worth the 2 hours i had to wait

Capacity Tear it down! Pointless

You wait very long, you walk through a plain straight corridor with red lights (uhhh scary i know) to ride one of the tamest rides in the world. It does nothing. Just nothing. And After that you walk out a identical straight corridor. Wow... they tried to have Van Helsings Factory from Moviepark Germany but failed terribly

Fun Masterpiece Capacity

It is very unique and probably the most you can get out of 8m height. The Mousse curves are the best i ever been on (maybe because you do 100% not see them coming and the ride is rather tame to this point). When all the special effects are working its really a nonstop fun machine. The typical bobsled capacity is the only issue but they always operate it way faster then any other bobsled

Fun Layout Duration Capacity

This ride left me Dizzy even as a seasoned coaster fan. The inversions themselves are not particulary outstanding, but the sheer mass of them is what makes this ride. EVERY element on the Smiler takes you upside down. You come out of an Inversion and go straight into the next one. Very uncompareable! Sadly the Smiler always has long Queues because there are so. many. Fasttrack users, The operations were some of the faster i have ever seen tho. Sometimes i barely left the station "room" and the train i came off was already dispatched again. The start into the dark is also very cool. You know it from alot of Gerstlauers, but the drop is alot bigger and the Inversion is just...longer. Well done

First Drop Capacity Fun

6 Train Operations on a 372m Coaster

Theming Pace Fun Intensity

Best themed wooden Coaster i ever saw, but also one of the tamest. Great!

Fun Capacity

Typical SLC, not the worst that there is. The setting makes it a little better too. I enjoyed it. The operations are ungodly slow, but i feel like thats a UK thing. Or maybe Germans just operate too fast and i got used to it

Airtimes Fun

Its just crazy how there are no Gates and how everything swings and Shakes when the train is launched or comes back. The drop backwards is super wild, nice vintage coaster

Airtimes Layout Duration Capacity

Mack did it again, Banger ride. It has weird of axis airtime pops, some straight up strong ejector, many overbanks and Stengel dives, its just a round ride that i like to do over and over again. The Operations are not optimal tho, but you get used to this when you Tour Parks in the UK

Intensity Smoothness Layout

Easily the best SLC i have been on (out of 7 at this point). The turn After the drop is very intense (much like other SLCs tbh but waaay longer) and the Inversions all deliver. I like how you zoom through the bushes very close to the ground After the vertical loop. This is what makes Inverts cool. Because Sik was down the day i visisted i kinda Marathoned it and hat a nice time. Good coaster!!

Fun

The banking going out of the Station is simply wrong

Nice surprise! Intensity Smoothness

This is the best oldschool Vekoma i have ever been on. The ride has ZERO Headbanging and offers a diverse Layout which goes around the Park which i find really cool. The Loops and Helixes have good positive Gs to them and you even float in your seat a little here and there. Its a chill ride and my favourite Vintage Rollercoaster

Inversions Layout Capacity Discomfort

The tallest vertical Loop on an invert is pretty damn good. The drop seems to be very steep and is huge too. The First Half is kickass but After the Cobra Roll the Layout doesnt do much. Odyssey is only smooth in Certain rows and the capacity is bad, but its only a Problem if there ever is a line. The drop and looping are really good, but aside from that i dont know if i prefer it to other SLCs

Nice surprise! Location Intensity

Out of the 5 SLCs i rode this is the best. It is shaky, but the real, heavy and painful Hits thankfully Miss out. Its really bearable if you are used to SLCs. The wildlife under the ride gives it the edge over the other SLCs for me. You zoom close over fences, bushes and around trees. They even put smoke into the trench besides the Station, which improves the following Sidewinder alot. Can't complain at all

Airtimes Inversions Location

Wildfire is so cool. The Setting really makes it stunning to me! The Layout has good Variation betwern pure airtime, 3 very different inversions and low to the ground speed Moments, that combined with the views and the Nature makes for an Elite experience. the 1-2-3 punch is amazing. The wait times are very short through the whole day (i waited 2 trains at most) since its a zoo for families and not an amusement Park. Solid #3 in my list, i would ride it anytime if i had the opportunity ^^

Fun Layout Hangtime Too short Capacity

The Headline attraction of Movie Park Germany has a cool triple launch, great Hangtime moments, sharp ejector pops and is overall really balanced. I especially like the finale where you hop over a bunnyhill (best airtime Moment on the ride) into an intense helix (most intense moment on the ride) straight into a hangtime filled roll. Pretty cool to have "All forces" in such a short Time. Sadly it has like 2 big elements and its pretty short but Mack did great work with that very small footprint. The Theming in the Queueline + the preshow is nice but the ride itself isnt themed (unlike other coasters at the Park :c )

Airtimes Intensity Ejectors

This is a worthy successor to Expedition GeForce. It has the strong and sustained Ejector Airtime, it has the Blasting positive Gs in the Valleys and Banked turns, its a Power house like nothing else in the Park. The Return trip packs some really jerky hills which ride funny. But i do Think it is a little overrated to be around in the top 20 of All the coasters in the world. It is objectivly amazing, but it Lacks that real and unique "woah" factor (for me)

First Drop Fun Discomfort

I was pretty disappointed. It was my 3rd RMC After the other 2 in Europe, and i Think it was the weakest. The Trains arent made for Layouts like this. The Stall and the waveturn are profiled way shorter Than the ones on Wildfire for example, and other Than that you only have mediocre hills (at least for what people make this coaster up to be) and Rolls that are neither snappy nor really floaty. Its not a Bad roller coaster, the stats alone speak for that, it just isnt my ride

Launch

Macks best launch, but why is it on a Boat ride

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun

It is shaky but if you rode a real rough wooden coaster its pretty smooth in comparison. That being said, i rode it in the Middle of the train and got good airtime there on every hill. The laterals on the turns surprised me too. I Think its a really good wooden coaster and doesnt need any Kind of RMC

Launch Fun Layout

A lot of fun Elements on this ride. The pacing is really strong, Toutatis shoots from element to element while offering strong Airtime and laterals. The Halfpipe launch is good fun. The only sad thing is how the tophat is trimmed but since it Drops at 101° you still get alot of airtime and you have enough speed going into the Layout. 10/10 for me

Theming Fun Intensity

Black Mamba is a bit overshadowed by Taron and F.L.Y these days, but its still a kickass ride. The ride has tight turns and helixes, the snappy Corkscrews come out of nowhere and the whole thing is a constant foot chopper while you zoom over rocks, plants and water. Its over rather fast but nowadays the line isnt as long as when it was the only thrillcoaster at Phantasialand, so its pretty reridable which i like.

Airtimes Layout Ejectors

Untamed is probably the Maximum that you can get out of a ride with this height. The Many Inversions Provide a variety of sensations like sustained weightlessness and sustained hangtime. The Airtime hills deliver, especially the back to back camelbacks before the First 0g Roll offer great and sustained ejectors. While the Layout is a 10/10 for me, the theme also got me good. Its one of my favourite coasters and i couldnt wish for anything else in its Spot. Nice Work from RMC here in Europe!

First Drop Capacity Fun

I find nothing to complain about on this ride. The First drop is Steep and if you have room on the very good lapbars you are in for a long time out of your Seat. Same for the ejector Hill After that. The dive loop is very fun on the wing seat but it appears to Flip a little Late buuut you have airtime going up the loop :D Twister section is fun on the wings when you feel like you Can touch the grass. I also like the final hills and i LOVE the open, comfortable trains

First Drop Intensity Ejectors Intensity

Lech pulls alot of Gs. They are not only intense, but als sustained what had me graying out alot. The valley After the First dive loop and the whole sequence behind the Station building are the most intense Parts For me. The Final Helixes are really tight and make a fitting Finale, but its not really reridable for me due to the sheer force of this thing. Amazing aggression in this ride, one of a Kind coaster

Intensity Layout Duration

Abyssus is overhated. In any other Park it would be a top coaster. But in Energylandia it competes vs 2 World class hypercoasters. The Layout is fun with some really forceful parts. The pull out After the vertical loop and the valley in the batwing have high positive Gs. The airtime hills all deliver. The drop is trimmed which is sad, but the Rest of the Layout is still taken fast enough. The ride is smooth and the Operations are fast.

Discomfort

Bro this was straight up the most painful coaster i ever rode. If you are 195cm or above dont try it. Even Bandit at Moviepark is better

Location Pace Fun

This ride is really underrated in my opinion. It keeps a fast pace through a Layout that hugs the ground, rushes under trees, over water and through Tunnels. I especially like the First Half, the After the First drop you fly through a twist and it goes even deeper, picking up more speed. The Location made me prefer it over troy

Location Pace Ejectors Capacity

Amazing Airtime on any of the 6 Ejector hills from Start to finish. The Valleys between them feel very deep and tight, providing bursts of positive Gs right before and after the sustained ejector airtime. the middle of the ride doesnt do much force wise, but speeding through the trees and leafs on Overbank turns is a nice breather before you Enter the finale of 4 back to back airtime hills. And these hills are not normal, the First one is placed pretty high up in the air, making this feel more like a Quad-Down where the last Hill is the craziest. It has a trim brake that you defenetly notice After the 3rd-last hill, but without it you would straight up get leg amputated by the restraints on the last 2 hills due to the airtime. I recommend the Front row for except for the First drop! Sadly, this high Quality Coaster is located in a Park that doesnt give a Damn about it. The Operations are the slowest i ever saw on a headline attraction (1 train ops/ ~300ppl per hour) and as a Fan of Rollercoasters Watching this will make you sad. But that's Not the Coasters fault, its an easy 5/5 for me
