Coaster reviews

Capacity Nice surprise! Fun Too short

This is the most underrated Efteling coaster in my opinion. The soundtrack and the fun layout in the dark really make this ride. The ride is extremely re-rideable as well.

Launch Smoothness Hangtime Theming Capacity Harness

Formule X is a great fit for this park. The launch is surprisingly good. The inversions give you some nice hangtime. There are two problems I have with the ride. Obviously the ride is a bit too short, but I also don't like the way Drievliet runs this coaster. During my visit the coaster had one train on the coaster for the majority of the day. This resulted in 20+ minute waits, which were so unnecessary. The coaster is really fun tho.

Nice surprise! Fun Layout Capacity

This ride was quite surprising for me. I'm definitely not a fan of powered coasters. This coaster pulled at least some forces. Especially in the last helix of the first lap. One of the best, if not the best powered coasters I've ridden.

Discomfort Tear it down! Lap Bar

When I was younger, this was my second favourite ride at Drievliet. Now I'm a bit taller, I absolutely hate this ride. The shared lap bar is terrible, and the lack of space makes the whole experience extremely painful, especially with the sharp brakes. Obviously the layout isn't anything special either. It's just another wild mouse. Worst ride at the park.

Fun Pointless Layout

This ride is more like a flatride on a coaster track. The spinning is good and that's about it.

Airtimes First Drop Fun Dead spots

Lost Gravity is a nice compact roller coaster. The first drop is unbelievably good, as is the airtime hill that follows. After the first brakes, the roller coaster gets a lot less good. The roller coaster goes just too slow here and the lap bar really gets pressed against you a lot more during the ride, making the experience for men not the best. Intensity: 3.5/5 (second half ruins the intensity) Fun: 5/5 Theming: 3/5 (good for Walibi) Comfort: 4/5 (could have been 5/5 if the lap bar wasn't so pressed against you) Overall: 4/5 (or 8/10)

First Drop Theming Smoothness Too short

At Baron 1898, the theming really makes the rollercoaster. It's an incredibly short course. Still, there are very good elements incorporated into this roller coaster. The first drop is phenomenal, and at the bottom of the tunnel the roller coaster is very intense. The rest of the track is nothing special.

First Drop Inversions Fun Headbanging Too short Harness

This Gerstlauer Eurofighter is a fun ride. I had more than 20 rides during my last visit, and it offers a good package of elements considering the length of the ride. This ride is extremely short. The first drop is amazing, the loop isn't taken with much speed but I didn't feel like I got much hangtime either. The barrel roll is a really good inversion tho. The most negative thing about Falcon is the harness. It's an over the shoulder restraint, so for shorter people it's quite uncomfortable because of the headbanging, but for a taller person it's uncomfortable because the restraint really pushes your shoulders down. For a park like Duinrell it's a good ride tho!

Discomfort Dead spots

This ride is just a standard Zierer double 8 kiddie coaster. The trains are a nightmare for taller people, and the train barely gets over the smaller hills. There are so many better kiddie coasters nowadays, and I would give this ride 1 star if it wasn't a classic, but it is.

Fun Smoothness Too short Capacity

This is a great smooth family coaster, with a nice pacing and quick transitions. (Smoothness): Unlike the Eurofighter/Infinity Coaster model that Gerstlauer offers, almost all their family coasters are really smooth. The brake section is quite short tho, which makes the braking quite uncomfortable. (Capacity): The roller coaster has only 1 train, which does not benefit the capacity.
