24/10/24: It could’ve been the cold weather, or I was just unlucky. Either way, I had heard such great things about this ride and it being the best, but also the most intense coaster of Europe. If that is indeed the case, then I’m gonna be very disappointed with some of the other coasters of Europe. To start my actual review: it is a really good coaster, just not as good as I expected it to be. If it is actually as ‘out of control’ as people claim it to be, then I went on the wrong day, because it really was not in my case. I couldn’t feel much of the spinning sensation, and pretty much all of the inversions were not that memorable. The only moments that stood out to me were the airtime moments. That doesn’t mean that I dislike the coaster, the complete experience is really nice, and I especially like the onride music. But I really miss the intensity on this ride, and I think that Anubis the Ride is actually more intense.

Coming here for the Ride to Happiness and having this coaster as an additional credit, I was very surprised when riding it. To start, the launch is nothing like I have felt before, absolutely bonkers! The rise up after that can be a little uncomfortable, especially in the back row, but the airtime on the tophat is insane and makes up for it. Then layout following, featuring inversions, airtime/lateral moments and mostly positive g-forces have led me to my decision that Anubis the Ride is actually more intense than the Ride to Happiness.

At least SLC’s have a fun layout. That why I give it 1 star instead 0.5. I guess the restraints make it more comfortable in some way, but when we finally got to the brake run, I couldn’t breath anymor...

At least SLC’s have a fun layout. That why I give it 1 star instead 0.5. I guess the restraints make it more comfortable in some way, but when we finally got to the brake run, I couldn’t breath anymore. The real end of the ride, and thus the suffering, is when the restraints open.

This is definitely my favourite GCI coaster. It has a long layout, but it manages to keep its pace very well. I did however have a headache after riding it. I also did not really like the fast turns a...

This is definitely my favourite GCI coaster. It has a long layout, but it manages to keep its pace very well. I did however have a headache after riding it. I also did not really like the fast turns after the station fly-through as they were painful to me, but my friends didn’t seem to have this.

This definitely is my favourite coasters. I really like the hangtime before the first drop, and the airtime on the hill after that. But the helix is definitely my favourite element of the coaster. It is really intense, but I didn’t grey-out like many people say they do. The rest of the layout is also very nice and smooth. It’s too bad that it’s so short.

This was my first proper coaster and still to this day, I can’t skip it when I go to the Efteling. It goes only 64 (not 70) km/h, but it feels a lot faster, due to it being in the dark and it having w...

This was my first proper coaster and still to this day, I can’t skip it when I go to the Efteling. It goes only 64 (not 70) km/h, but it feels a lot faster, due to it being in the dark and it having wind machines. I also really like the onboard music. That together with the indoor aspect makes it a very reridable to me. The lines also move really quick because a train departs about every 30s. The only few things are that it has a rattle to it, which can be quite uncomfortable if you’re in the first train.
