Coaster reviews

Lap Bar Smoothness Layout Theming

Fun vintage Schwarzkopf coaster with some nice little pops of airtime while seating at the back! I hope Hansa refurbish the theming soon because this oldie still has potential :)

Airtimes Masterpiece Intensity Rattle

So weird, yet exhilarating! Kärnan is really a one of a kind ride, very intense and relentless. It has several good pops of airtime, crazy snappy turns and an excellent drop to top it off!

Theming Nice surprise!

Cool kiddie coaster with some surprising laterals! My favourite junior ride yet :)

Smoothness

The 4D Freefly concept doesn't really do much to me. The spinning isn't necessarily uncomfortable, but it's not very exciting either :(

Location

Mostly bland old Vekoma looper. The drop is too shallow, and the corkscrews have jolty entrance and exit. Good intensity of the loops though. A photogenic but mostly forgettable coaster.

Rattle Headbanging Tear it down!

Limit suffers from some nasty shuffle and jolts thoughout the entire course.

First Drop Theming Location Too short

The drop into the kraken's mouth is actually quite impressive and intense. That's it.

Theming Fun Layout Harness

Flug der Daemonen surely has a fun twisty and disorienting layout. It is mostly graceful and soft, but also has a couple of intense moments. The tight vest restraints did reduce my enjoyment of the ride though.

Launch Fun Too short Layout

Desert Race has a nice hydraulic boost. However the airtime, while enjoyable, is not intense enough for liking and the layout need more variety and force to be truly on par with other Intamin accelerators.

Nice surprise! Comfort Fun Too short

Surprisingly fun triple launch coaster. Better airtime than expected and good forces and laterals!

Location Fun Harness Disappointing! Dead spots

I had several rides on Apollo's Chariot - including one in the night - and they were all a bit underwhelming. The airtime is very soft and the ride as a whole lacks G-forces from my experience. Still though, this hypercoaster uses the terrain very well and does have a couple of good moments.

Nice surprise! Fun Too short

Fun little GCI woodie with a couple of good airtime and nice interaction with the terrain.

Inversions Fun Capacity Harness

Triops is a definite improvement over the regular Boomerang. Fewer vibrations and headbanging, and the ride experience is actually fairly intense at some points. It's unfortunate the restraints are so bulky and restrict your sensation of freedom.

Location Rattle Discomfort Pointless

Very rattly Mack Bobsleigh. Great location within the woods, but it doesn't make anything out of it!

Layout Headbanging Harness Tear it down!

The layout may be photogenic and may have a nice flow, however the on-ride experience is nasty. Goudurix provides a lot of headbangs and quite some rattle too! Awful coaster, though I think there's even worse out there...

Fun

Pégase Express isn't extraordinary, but delivers some fun moments. The theming is quite uneven between parts. Station looks really cool and contains a lot of clever/funny jokes. Some other parts of the ride look empty however, and the effects during the 'shed' aren't the most effective. Good coaster for the family, but some coasterfans may argue Vekoma SFC or Intamin Mine Train deliver better rides for everyone.

Airtimes Inversions Pace Rattle Capacity

A supremely intense coaster, graying me out almost every time right after the Dive Loop. The airtime hops towards the end are very powerful, similar to the best RMC designs. The trackwork is very smooth, not providing any headbanging and only some minor rattle. The layout is impressively compact and offers many crosses and near-misses with the scenery. Vekoma has produced a real winner here!

First Drop Theming Fun Too short

Excellent and appealing theming which truly fits the Dive Coaster type. I find the drop very fun, but the rest of the ride not particularly striking - though very smooth.

Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

The original SLC is one of the worst coasters I've ever ridden. Very brutal and unenjoyable :(

Theming Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

The only good thing about the coaster is its theming, especially the queuline. I never enjoyed Xpress and find it uninspired and very rough!

Launch Rattle Discomfort

The launch and following Top Hat are quite exciting. Everything else is either dull, rattly or poorly banked in my opinion.

Pace

Heidi has great pacing (except for the double up hill) and is a fun albeit short ride. Do not expect tons of ejector airtime and you'll enjoy this wooden coaster.

Fun Harness Smoothness Dead spots

A fun B&M hyper with some good floater air and an intense mid-course helix. The rest of the layout lacks stronger G forces however.

Theming Fun Intensity

Black Mamba is more intense than it seems. The interactions with the surrounding scenery is really impressive, and it is generally smooth. However, the layout isn't the most original and it lacks the "wow" factor other inverts have.

Theming Fun Intensity Dead spots

Simply breathtaking coasters. The first half might have slightly sluggish pacing, but what comes after the second launch more than makes up! Insane succession of twisty turns taken at sheer speed. The intensity of that second half is really impressive. Phantasialand has produced yet another jaw-dropping theming to make the experience even more awesome.

Inversions Smoothness

A short and generic B&M Floorless coaster. Fairly smooth and comfortable, quite fun to ride once or twice, but not very intense or thrilling either.

Fun Intensity Capacity

Batwing is one of the smoother Vekoma coasters made before their current renaissance. It is quite intense too, especially during the vertical loop on the back. Although the layout seems exciting on paper, I didn't find the experience as enoyable as B&M flyers.

Pace Fun Dead spots

One of the least interesting Intamin Megas, Superman SFA still delivers a fun ride. There's some underwhelming parts, such as the helixes and the first hill which lacks airtime. However the airtime towards the end is pretty good, foreshadowing the amazing ejector machines Intamin would create in the 00s.

Capacity Location Fun Dead spots

A unique family Schwarzkopf located on Liseberg's main hill and intertwined with Helix. The layout is very long and has some really fun moments, but also a couple of duller spots.

First Drop Fun Smoothness Too short

A very good Family coaster, with some surprisingly intense and thrilling moments for such a ride. Good theming and interactions as well!
