This is an interesting different coaster that focuses mainly on hangtime. It's starting with a slow roll with pure hangtime and pretty much all inversions also feature hangtime. The layout is well paced with inversions and transitions weigh is a lot of fun. The launches are pretty tame which is expected from Mack but it suits the ride. For US standards this ride is pretty well themed which is also worth noticing.

Fury 325 starts with the impressive drop from 99 meters followed by some elements that focus solely on speed with some snappy transitions. After that follows the airtime part of the ride starting with the drop through the tunnel which is my favorite element of the ride as it features a fantastic flowjector airtime moment followed by some airtime hills with floater airtime. It's a composed masterpiece by B&M! The ride is best in the front row (first rides or the day) and even better in the back row when the ride is warmed up. Fury 325 belongs to the elite coasters of the world and is currently in my top 5.

The LSM launch up the hill is just pointless. A cable launch is faster than this tame launch. This ride feature many inversions and good pacing but the transitions are often harsh and the harness is pushing you down uncomfortably. Still a very fun little ride but in my opinion overrated.

The first drop is great but due to the "non theaming" of the bottom of the drop the drop feels in nowhere as good as e.g. Valkyria in Sweden though it's much smaller. The second drop is pointless. The...

The first drop is great but due to the "non theaming" of the bottom of the drop the drop feels in nowhere as good as e.g. Valkyria in Sweden though it's much smaller. The second drop is pointless. The further ride is uncreative. Still fun to ride.

The first drop is really good but unfortunately the first overbanked airtime hill does nothing. The next two hills have good airtime and after that the ride meanders until the end. I think B&M had the...

The first drop is really good but unfortunately the first overbanked airtime hill does nothing. The next two hills have good airtime and after that the ride meanders until the end. I think B&M had the possibility to do much more. It's still fun but sadly no elite coaster.

I was very disappointed with Wildcat's Revenge and I am sorry to say that this is a bad design. The first 90% of the ride are perfect. Pure fun! Clearly 5 stars and belongs to the elite coasters world...

I was very disappointed with Wildcat's Revenge and I am sorry to say that this is a bad design. The first 90% of the ride are perfect. Pure fun! Clearly 5 stars and belongs to the elite coasters worldwide. But the last 2 bunny hills are just painfully awful. Here you get slammed around and are pushed hard into the lapbar with your stomach. I gave this ride 3 chances but the last 2 hills are so awful that I don't want to ride it again. It's just too much and it shows that Alan Schilke is the superior designer.

Hershey has upgraded the trains with the new and comfortable lap bars which is great. The cable lift really rushes you up the hill. The first drop is cool and you have some ejector airtime combined wi...

Hershey has upgraded the trains with the new and comfortable lap bars which is great. The cable lift really rushes you up the hill. The first drop is cool and you have some ejector airtime combined with good pacing. The only bad thing is that the ride rattles, especially in the back seats. Still a great and fun ride.

This hydraulic cable launch coaster from Intamin does not only run up the tophead, it also has a very interesting layout with a lot of forces. My favorite is the roll with the following drop. The whole ride from launch to finish is pure fun. It could be longer, but it is still good as it is.

I never experienced such a bad train. It's complete discomfort when you sit in the trains. You can't move your arms. You feel completely disabled. The ride itself is also pure discomfort. The track is...

I never experienced such a bad train. It's complete discomfort when you sit in the trains. You can't move your arms. You feel completely disabled. The ride itself is also pure discomfort. The track is (typically for old Vekoma tracks) uneven and rattles all the time. The loopings are quite okay and the worst element is the corkscrew. The only good thing I can say is the location over the lake.

Always great to see a Schwarzkopf in operation. This ride caught me by surprise. I could not trust my feelings in the dark and did not know in which direction I was going. Great idea to put the shuttl...

Always great to see a Schwarzkopf in operation. This ride caught me by surprise. I could not trust my feelings in the dark and did not know in which direction I was going. Great idea to put the shuttle loop in the dark! Definitely worth at least 2 rides!

This ride is a true experience. Great theming in the queue from start up to the thematic automatic row selection. The fall back of the train in the vertical lifthill within the Kärnan tower is unique ...

This ride is a true experience. Great theming in the queue from start up to the thematic automatic row selection. The fall back of the train in the vertical lifthill within the Kärnan tower is unique and a lot of fun. I think it is very comfortable in the train during the ascending and fall back. The Gerstlauer trains are very comfortable. The first drop is excellent. The ride lacks a little pacing in the 2nd half. Overall this is still one of the best rides in Germany. Unfortunately the capacity is very poor. It is only 380 passengers per hour (measured with a stop watch) with all 3 trains running. Also train #3 is unfortunately rattling.

This is my 2nd RMC coaster and I was very excited to finally ride it. The double inverting stall is a lot of fun and is a great element. The overall ride is a great experience with excellent pacing and intensity. Of course the last 2 rows are the preferred seats though also the middle seats are enjoyable. For me Wildfire in Kolmaden (Sweden) is even better but it is a close call :-).

The ride is very fun with lots of floater airtimes. The first drop is also nice. Compared to similar rides from Intamin (e.g. Hyperion) the rider has nearly no forces. Despite it's height it is very tame and a ride for the while family.

I was not really sure what to expect. A good coaster from Vekoma with all the shitty SLC in mind? But Vekoma showed, that they can build a great coaster when spending the required passion to the design process. FLY is just unique with the "Superman" feeling when flying through Rookburgh (which is perfectly designed). And man is that coaster intense! When you hang in the restraints and get pulled with pressure around the curves. You even have airtime when getting pulled up. FLY is one of my most memorable experiences when it comes to roller coasters.

Balder is a real fun machine. You get airtime after airtime after airtime. The airtime is never intense but on the fun side. The ride is very smooth for a wooden coaster due to the Intamin prefab trac...

Balder is a real fun machine. You get airtime after airtime after airtime. The airtime is never intense but on the fun side. The ride is very smooth for a wooden coaster due to the Intamin prefab track. Though it is the smallest of the 4 prefab track coasters in the world I enjoy it more than it's German brother Colossos (can't comment on the other 2). A really enjoyable ride. NOTE: Balder first needs to warm up. Before that he is a lame duck :-)
