Coaster reviews

Intensity Smoothness

While the layout may be a bit basic, I always enjoy my rides on Python. The lifthill is very slow, but that also makes it very relaxing, weirdly enough. The ride itself pulls some great positives, I sometimes even grey-out during the second looping. Python is butter smooth as well. Glad Efteling chose to keep this Vekoma classic.

First Drop Theming Too short

First of all, the theming of this ride is amazing. The preshows really get you pumped up for this ride, especially the preshow just before the lifthill is really good. Then the main part of Baron is obviously the first drop. Do this one on the frontrow for the amazing views. But after that Baron just dies off. The helix is decently forceful, but that's really all there is to it. This is the only dive coaster I've ridden thusfar, but this one really feels like a one-trick pony with that first drop.

Theming Fun Layout

This ride is so much fun! Love the VR implementation here, it works really well and feels like you're watching a fun, short movie while riding this coaster. I can understand why some people might get sick from the VR but I don't have any problems with that. Haven't tried this without VR yet, but I can imagine it would just be a boring old coaster in the dark as the layout isn't all that great.

Lap Bar Fun Smoothness Too short

Hellendoorn did a great job refurbishing this old Vekoma. The trains have comfortable lapbars allowing a great deal of freedom and the ride is butter smooth to boot. Theming has been greatly improved (I'm a fan of dragons so yeah). Layout is a bit short with the looping and corkscrew but it's still an enjoyable experience.

Inversions Hangtime Harness

Better version of Falcon at Duinrell. Typhoon also has some nice hangtime in its inversions and the ride overall was surprisingly smooth, except for some of the turns which can cause slight headbanging.

Inversions Hangtime Rattle

Other than the very rattly cutback, this ride is great fun with some nice inversions. You get a good dose of hangtime in the looping and heartline roll which I'm a big fan of.

Theming Fun

Winja's Fear and Force are really fun spinning coasters both with some great special effects. Still can't remember the difference between the two coasters, but I liked both of them.

Airtimes Launch

Really good water coaster with great launches. The airtime during the third launch took me by surprise. And if you're on backrow... prepare to get soaked. Like, really, REALLY soaked. Took me a while to dry up again.

Nice surprise! Fun

Since I disliked Robin Hood and since I heard so many stories about this ride being very rough, I feared for my life when I went on Loup-Garou. To my surprise it wasn't bad at all, quite enjoyed this one actually! Yes it shakes a lot but it doesn't hurt me, and if the coaster doesn't hurt I can actually quite enjoy the roughness on these kinds of woodies. It's definitely not the best wooden coaster out there but it's still a fun ride.

Theming Duration

Very well themed coaster with beautiful darkride sections. The coaster parts aren't too shabby either, providing some nice laterals. Very unique ride that's for sure.

Fun Smoothness Layout

One of the best family coasters I've ridden. The setting in the forest is real nice with so many trees close by the ride. The layout is really good for a family coaster and in the backrow you get pulled over some of the hills. This is one of those rides that is just really fun to ride.

Capacity Rattle Disappointing! Discomfort

For me Euro-Mir was the biggest disappointment when I visited Europa-Park. First of all, who thought it was a good idea to have the Liftoff soundtrack be replaced by a much worse Halloween soundtrack in October? The lifthill is bland and with that inferior soundtrack playing felt far too long. The ride itself wasn't that good either. It rattles, which makes it pretty uncomfortable. I also heard stories about this ride being pretty intense, but I didn't think it was that intense. Yes there are some positives but nothing too insane. Went into this ride expecting it to be a lot of fun but got off with a bitter taste in my mouth. But boy do I want to experience this ride with the original Liftoff soundtrack one day...

Fun Capacity

The layout isn't amazing by any means but still fun. What makes this better than most other water coasters though is that you will get SOAKED, especially on the front row. Seriously, on hot days this ride is such a great way to cool down. Downside are the long lines due to low capacity (only 8 people per boat).

Theming Nice surprise! Too short Capacity

This is what Tiki-Waka at Walibi Belgium should've been. Van Helsing's Factory combines a coaster with a darkride and it's done very well. The coaster itself offers some nice laterals and a good layout but the theming really makes this ride stand out. There is a lot to see during this ride. It's a little on the short side though and capacity, like all Gerstlauer Bobsleds, isn't the best.

Launch Theming Harness Dead spots

Where do I start with this one. The theming in the queueline first of all is fantastic, probably the best Walibi Holland has to offer. Then why do I have theming listed as a con? Well, it's because all the theming is completely thrown out the window once you get launched. The launch itself is good and the sea searpent roll is fine, but the rest of the ride is completely dead. It's very bland and boring and does nothing in terms of forces. The over-the-shoulder-restraint doesn't help either. Please Walibi, there are better launch coasters available nowadays, buy one.

Fun Too short

This ride is waaay too short. Once it reaches its highest point it almost immediately slows down again. For what it does it's pretty fun though.

Theming Capacity Fun

Max & Moritz are the biggest guilty pleasure coasters I've ridden. I love these rides a lot because they are just so much fun to ride! Theming is top-notch as expected from Efteling and the dueling makes it even more fun. The best thing about these rides is the onboard soundtrack though! Max has the better layout with more turns than Moritz.

Theming is top-notch as expected from Efteling and the dueling makes it even more fun. The best thing about these rides is the onboard soundtrack though! Moritz does have a worse layout compared to Max, there aren't as many turns, just two helices and that's it.

Nice surprise! Fun

Didn't expect much but was positively surprised. The soundtrack on the lifthill as you ascend to the top of the Eiffel Tower gets you pumped up for the ride and the ride itself is pretty good as well. You can't really see where you're going which makes some of the turns and hills feel a little more intense. The onboard audio didn't work when I rode CanCan Coaster, so I kinda want to try it with the soundtrack as well to see if it makes the ride better or worse.

Fun Smoothness

Tweestryd is by far the best family boomerang I've been on. It's smooth, has a great setting in a zoo and the fact that it duels makes it even more fun. Duurzame Landbouw has stronger positives, which is why I slightly prefer it over Eerlijke Mijnbouw, but both are really fun rides.

Fun Smoothness

Really good family boomerang with a unique setting in a zoo and I absolutely love the fact it's a dueling coaster. I prefer Duurzame Landbouw for its stronger positives though.

Theming Fun Capacity

Feels like a combination of a bobsled and a wild mouse, quite enjoyable this one. Don't expect a lot of force on this one, it's a fun family coaster. Love the theming here though as you zoom through some of the buildings. Capacity sucks but thankfully it wasn't busy at all when I visited Tripsdrill, so this ride was a walk-on.

Fun Theming

Pretty fun dark indoor coaster, although I wish they didn't add all the light effects as it doesn't match the theming of being in a sewer.

Intensity

One of my least favorite wooden coasters. It doesn't do ANYTHING in terms of forces, that's why I put intensity as a con. It is very tame for a woodie and in addition it shakes quite a bit. Normally I don't mind that on woodies, but when your layout is as boring as this one it really doesn't help.

Comfort Too short Disappointing!

I don't know... Heidi is a pretty mediocre wooden coaster. It is smooth, but otherwise I found this one to be a little boring. It's on the shorter side and the capacity isn't that great either, with one train only having 6 coaches instead of the normal 12 found on Millenium Flyer trains. Perfect for families, but if you're like me and want a better wooden coaster, you're better off riding Troy or Wodan instead.

Fun Smoothness

Great family coaster with a nice layout. The front car of the train looks gorgeous as well.

Fun

Always fun to take a ride on Mine Train. Bonus points since I'm a huge Slagharen fan. The ride is a little shaky though and it could use a new paint job. The track looks really rusty at some places.

Location Fun

Really fun Junior Coaster that I always enjoy riding when I'm at Toverland. The location in the indoor hall also means that Toos-Express has quite a lot of interaction with the other attractions inside the hall, I especially like the helix which surrounds Klokhuis.

Fun

This was my very first rollercoaster and so it gets bonus points for nostalgia. Still enjoy riding it nowadays, even though it is your standard Vekoma Junior Coaster.
