Was expecting much worse but it isn't that bad at all. There is a slight rattle which may be uncomfortable, but the layout is quite alright. The two loopings give me a slight grey-out and the corkscrews above the water are a really nice visual. But yes, Python at Efteling is much better, so you're better off riding that one.

Really good Wing Coaster! There are so many nice, floaty inversions which I'm a big fan of. This ride also pulls some nice positives in between the inversions and the first drop is great. Love this ri...

Boring. The drop is alright but the rest of the layout sucks really bad. There are no forces and the layout is far too short. The turn after the brakes back into the station is probably my favorite part of the ride, it provides some pretty nice laterals!

Eww no, tear that down. I hate wild mouse coasters, they don't serve a purpose other than causing pain and discomfort. The hairpin turns give some painful laterals and the brakes are very sudden. Hope every wild mouse coaster gets torn down at some point, especially the Maurer ones.

Easily my favorite Euro-Fighter. The launch is very sudden and very powerful, gets me every time! The hill that follows gives some great airtime and the portion in the dark is really thrilling because you can't see where you're going. Theming and soundtrack are great as with a lot of the rides at Hansa Park.

It's your average Junior Coaster, only this one is a bit longer. Towards the end it just meanders around a bit, so the long length really isn't necessary. The interaction with Nessie is nice though, e...

It's your average Junior Coaster, only this one is a bit longer. Towards the end it just meanders around a bit, so the long length really isn't necessary. The interaction with Nessie is nice though, especially if you get a duel.

One word: overrated. The element inside the tower isn't that great, the first drop sucks and the layout doesn't really have any standout elements other than the non-inverting sea serpent roll. Instead...

One word: overrated. The element inside the tower isn't that great, the first drop sucks and the layout doesn't really have any standout elements other than the non-inverting sea serpent roll. Instead, it is very much focused on speed, only featuring a little airtime, laterals and positives, which I was hoping this ride would feature more of. The sense of speed flying low to the ground does feel great, especially later in the day when it has warmed up, I'll give it that, but like I said I was hoping this ride would have some more standout elements. And whoever came up with the boarding procedure can jump off a cliff. This just leads to me being irritated even before stepping into the train, which is not the purpose of a rollercoaster. I ride coasters because I want to have fun and if I get sent to row 2 over and over again I'm not having fun. If I want to wait a few more rounds to ride in the back, just let me wait a few more rounds.

I rode Hyperion at Energylandia before Silver Star and since I was told that Silver Star is the family version of Hyperion, I kept my expectations low for this one. And those expectations were true: Silver Star is indeed the family version of Hyperion. The first drop sucks, it barely gives any airtime and the camelbacks that follow all give floater airtime instead of ejector found on Hyperion. There are some nice positives as well but nothing too intense. The best moment on Silver Star is undoubtedly the drop off the midcourse. That gives some serious ejector airtime and I did not see that coming, that was a great surprise! The turn right before the final brakerun is also a good moment as it's pretty snappy. Overall Silver Star is a good, fun ride with some great moments, but like I said, Silver Star just pales in comparison to Hyperion.

I really love these old Vekoma coasters getting a new Sunkid train, it makes the ride experience much smoother and SpeedSnake FREE is no exception. This one is better than Balagos at Hellendoorn though! The first drop is a bit steeper and there are no painful laterals like Balagos has after the looping. The location on a mountainside is always a plus.

Suprisingly good for a Junior Coaster. The queueline is nicely themed and especially the first half packs quite a punch compared to other Junior Coasters. This part can be a little jerky though. Also,...

Suprisingly good for a Junior Coaster. The queueline is nicely themed and especially the first half packs quite a punch compared to other Junior Coasters. This part can be a little jerky though. Also, the booster wheel lift hill halfway through kills the pacing, hence the dead spots con, but the rest after that is really fun again.

Love the setting of this Alpine Coaster, winding its way through the forest while going down the mountainside. There are even a few small pops of airtime, overall a nice coaster. Capacity sucks as expected from an Alpine Coaster.

Was expecting a bad Mack powered coaster knockoff but what I got was pretty fun actually! It's better than Draak at Plopsaland De Panne, which is by far the worst powered coaster I've ridden. Achterbahn has some nice lateral hangtime, a choo choo noise as it goes through the station and it went around 5 times! Probably because the park was dead when I went.

Let's be honest, the ride itself is garbage. The layout sucks and the turns are even a little painful. But the disco vibes are great! Music pumping through the speakers and lights flashing everywhere,...

I absolutely love rides that are focused on sheer height and speed and Hyperion did not disappoint. The forces this coaster provides are truly world-class: some amazing sustained ejector airtime during the first hill, some very snappy transitions that provide amazing laterals, and some grey-out inducing positives as well. Yes there is that one hill in the middle that does absolutely nothing, but the rest of the ride more than makes up for it. People complain about a rattle, but it wasn't anything that bothered me. Truly an Intamin work of art here.

I didn't like this ride. First of all, capacity sucks because only 1 adult can sit in a car. The seating position feels pretty uncomfortable, which makes the slight rattle this ride has much more noticeable. The layout sucks, there are no interesting elements at all and the midcourse kills all your speed. Overall, I expected this ride to be a bit more fun.

Just your standard Vekoma Boomerang here. The train is pretty comfy, there is no headbanging like there is on Cobra at Walibi Belgium for example. The location is really unique. This coaster sits on t...

Just your standard Vekoma Boomerang here. The train is pretty comfy, there is no headbanging like there is on Cobra at Walibi Belgium for example. The location is really unique. This coaster sits on top of a roof, the view of the city of Denpasar is absolutely beautiful. Theming is nonexistent though and capacity sucks because of slow operations.

Pure ejector airtime machine. That first drop is insane, offering a combination of laterals and ejector. And that's only the beginning, all hills on Expedition GeForce offer incredible ejector airtime...

Pure ejector airtime machine. That first drop is insane, offering a combination of laterals and ejector. And that's only the beginning, all hills on Expedition GeForce offer incredible ejector airtime. This is mixed with some strong positives in the valleys, even giving me a little hint of a grey-out. Not as strong as on Goliath at Walibi Holland for example, but I still like the variety of airtime mixed with positives. The middle part just gives you that sense of speed, zooming through the forest (yes this rides location is beautiful as well). There is a noticeable rattle but it didn't bother me at all. Theming is nonexistent though, the station has to be one of the ugliest I've ever seen. Overall an incredible ride that should be on every coaster enthusiasts bucket list. However, people saying this is the best steel coaster on earth really need to rethink their life decisions. Maybe it was when it first opened, but nowadays there are just better rides out there.

I could write a 10-page essay on why Gold Rush is my number 1 favorite coaster. The layout I think is perfect. People complain about this ride being short, but with the small plot of land, I don't think Gerstlauer could have done a better job. Gold Rush provides an excellent variety of forces. Strong laterals, incredible ejector airtime going over the tophat, positives, and the best hangtime moment I've ever experienced. Launches are really good. Gold Rush is not too intense, but not too tame either, which makes for a very reridable coaster. The front and backrows also provide very different forces, so definitely try out both of them. My only complaint would be the noticeable rattle when you're on backrow coming out of the dive loop, which is annoying. Next to the (almost) perfect ride experience, Gold Rush holds a very special place in my heart. This ride changed my life and started my career as a coaster enthusiast, for which I will always be grateful. Thank you Slagharen and Gerstlauer for creating this masterpiece of a ride!
