Coaster reviews

Fun Layout Duration

There aren't many Bob's left, so I like the one's who still there even more. Have a star for that!

First Drop Too short

It's a First drop. And then it's over. So good that the drop is intense and satisfying. Nothing more to tell.

Theming Pace Discomfort

Matterhorn Blitz is an older rollercoaster, and I notice that. I always ride it when I go to Europapark, but I never take a second turn.

Nice surprise! Location Layout

Euro Mir stands out in the spinning coaster department. Only Ride to Happiness (in Plopsaland) feels better in my personal list of rollercoasters. I'm not an huge fan of this type of coasters, though.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

The score may confuse people. Arthur isn't a pure rollercoaster. It's a coaster used to get you trough a dark ride. A very good one. The system is technically very advanced, and I haven't seen anything that comes close to it. Arthur is one of my favorite rides.

Theming Location Disappointing!

It hasn't got the grandeur I would expect in a coaster who has the French Cancan theme. The coaster is just okay.

Pace Intensity Layout

I like wooden coasters, and Wodan is one of the best traditional one's. I don't give it a five, because there are hybrid wooden coaster now (Zadra! Tonnere 2 Zeus!) and the're better. So the 5-ratings are for them.

Comfort Pace Intensity Capacity

Blue Fire is a great coaster, with a nice lay out. I like it very much. I don't like the single riders set up. I tried it a couple of times and I had to wait way to long. If you choose the line you can't see if its faster than the regular line and that's stupid. What's the point if you have to wait half an hour longer??? The main reason is that groups take the single riders line because they think there going to be faster. There a lot of frustrations because of that.

Nice surprise! Smoothness Layout

Poseïdon is better than Vliegende Hollander in the Efteling. Both have the same concept: combining a roller coaster with a water coaster. Poseidon is much better at it, although Vliegende Hollander has better theming.

Capacity Discomfort Pointless Layout

Europapark has some great coasters, and than you have Pegasus. I don't like it. It feels a bit cheap, and sometimes I feel a bit nauseous after riding it.

Airtimes First Drop Nice surprise!

I've ridden it on five visits to the park and it's still one of my favorite hyper coasters, despite of the competition of the last decade. Silver Star has a good theme (Mercedes!), a impressive income hall, a great first drop, a smart layout and so delivers a solid experience.

Nice surprise! Fun Duration

Nice family VR-coaster. I really like it. Funny movie, good layout of the coaster. None of my companions felt nauseous either. We had a great time.

Theming Too short Layout

I was very disappointed in this one. It stands next to Taron, one of my favorite coasters, but it's like the opposite of all the fun I had on that coaster. I'm going to skip this one on my next visit, I think.

Theming Smoothness Hangtime

Fly is a very original, intense and fun roller coaster. I find it a perfect example of taking roller coasters to the limit, without making it unreachable for a big audience. Fly is heavily themed on a scale I haven't seen before and delivers a perfect ride. For me the best coaster I have done till now.

Theming Smoothness Layout

You can only indicate three pros? That's disappointing! I would like to mark ten pros... One of the best roller coasters out there, without a doubt. It's not the most challenging of them all, but this is a masterpiece. A LOT of people can get on it, because it feels so comfortable and safe. Some people like other coasters more because more people don't dare to get on it, but I then you only rate to brag. Top class roller coaster!

Theming Pace Smoothness Capacity

This is not a very intense or challenging coaster at all. But I like it. I don't know for sure why that is. It's just fun to have a go on it despite the long waiting times.

Theming Layout

The more I ride this ride, the weaker I rate it. I like this kind of ride, but this is one is just disappointing. I tend to get a little nauseous too.

Comfort Fun Smoothness Too short

Fénix is the best coaster of Toverland, and maybe of the Netherlands. I has a certain grandeur when you watch it, and you experience it when you're on it. If it wasn't so short it would be one of my favorite rides, no question about that. Fortunately it happens often that there isn't a waiting line (I could go three times on the first row, almost without waiting) which makes it possible to extend the time spended on Fénix. Top class coaster!

Fun Smoothness Hangtime

In this kind of attraction, Pulsar is the absolute best I have ever done. What a water coaster!

Comfort Pace Fun

I like Wakala. It's a family coaster, but it's fun and has a nice pace. A real asset for the park.

Rattle Discomfort Lap Bar

This is the first roller coaster I have done in my live. I'm 53 now and it still works. It's really really really worn out. But since they will tear it down in September I tried it one more time. This was just nostalgia, nothing else. Time for something new.

Theming Fun

Huracan is a small family ride. It has bit of a dark ride at the beginning. After that a short outdoor area and a longer dark indoor area. Both parts are fun

Location Fun Smoothness Capacity

I like Dawson Duel. You wouldn't expect something like this in Bellewaerde, where there are now hills. It's a fun ride in a beautiful environment. It takes a long walk to get to the top, but it's worth it.

First Drop Discomfort

It's an old ride, and you notice that. It's pretty intense, and has a good layout. But it's like riding an old car, which brings out old memories. The ride isn't what it was in your memory; it feels smaller, slower, more uncomfortable, and less fun now.

Launch Pace Masterpiece

The best ride in Plopsaland, which already had Anubis, the Ride. You have to get lucky with the position you're in when you start. There's a wide variety in the experience: when you're facing backwards at the start it's totally different then facing side wards in the different directions. So you have to try it al lot. :-)

First Drop Launch Layout

This is a great coaster. For years it was the best in Plopsaland. Now they have Ride to Happiness, which is even better!

Theming Intensity Smoothness

I like Oziris a lot. It's the best suspended coaster I know AND it has great theming. Not only with the boarding station (an beautiful Egyptian tempel), but also the environment is great, there are live actors doing a show and the music is nice. A example for other parcs!

I didn't expect it to have some intense moments. The coaster is good. It would benefit from some more theming.

Theming Nice surprise! Layout

Vliegende Hollander is kind of a Dark Ride, combined with a Roller Coaster and a Splash. It's not world top a any of those things but the combination really works. I prefer Poseidon at Europapark, but it's a good second. I will never go to the Efteling and not getting on this one. It's a unique and original ride. Great work from Efteling!

Pace Fun Rattle Reliability

I like Wooden Coasters, because I think they really are the best way to build a good coaster. So the Tree-and-a-half is obvious. I don't give it more than that. It's okay, but nothing special. There are far better Wooden Coasters out there. In fact, I think ALL the Wooden Coasters I have done are better than Joris en de Draak...
