I’m not sure if I’m crazy but I actually didn’t mind this? The speed for a SLC is mad (especially on the first drop), and I didn’t get much headbanging somehow (I held my head against the right shoulder restraint). It feels out of control which I kind of liked - was scary!

Maybe I don’t do well with these rides anymore… I felt super nauseous when I got off. Not sure what caused it - maybe it was just this version or maybe I’m just old. No theming either.

Well I found the worst ride I’ve been on by far… This is an abomination. I wouldn’t go on this again if you paid me if I’m being honest. Horrendous discomfort, bounces you up and down throughout, and it’s quite fast too so the pain gets worse and worse. I couldn’t wait to get off. What is it still doing here???

Decent theming again, and it feels a little janky at parts which seems what a mine train should feel like! Doesn’t go super fast and the momentum ofte...

Decent theming again, and it feels a little janky at parts which seems what a mine train should feel like! Doesn’t go super fast and the momentum often stalls (there’s two lift hills for a reason). It’s ok for what it is.

I thought this was kind of pointless. The theming is fun, but the ride itself is a bit lame. It doesn’t really do much? A tall lift hill with no real drops to speak of, and some slow helixes dotted throughout. The capacity is bad as well.

Solid ride. Really cool new theming since Mecalodon was added, comfortable trains and a good launch too. It’s nothing special from a ride experience perspective (and a little short) but the theming really adds to it.

This is a great family coaster - decent pace, fun elements and awesome theming. It’s not super thrilling in my opinion (it feels like it wants to go faster but it obviously can’t!) and I don’t understand the bag policy (needs to come on with you under you legs - it feels really weird!) but it’s a fantastic new addition.

What a brilliant ride this is - that first drop rivals Hyperia’s for me, especially on the back. I was basically stood up the entire way down! I really enjoyed the non-inverting cobra roll too. It’s surprisingly graceful in parts, while still being an airtime machine and just bags of fun. My only complaint is that maybe the seats could be a little higher to maximise the airtime feeling but it’s a minor niggle. Love the theme as well (even if the ride itself lacks a bit of theming).

Plus for intensity, but I found it too much. If you like spinning from head to toe then you’d love this, but wasn’t for me. I found it terrifying. Won...

Plus for intensity, but I found it too much. If you like spinning from head to toe then you’d love this, but wasn’t for me. I found it terrifying. Wonder how I’ll do with Eejanaika..

I don’t think flying coasters are my jam anymore. I thought as flying coasters go that this was probably a pretty good one, I just find them uncomfortable generally. Nice theming and water jets. I don’t know what it has to do with a bat though with all this water!

I loved this way more than I was expecting - the first drop is fantastic, the views from the lift hill are incredible, and it keeps its (literally) blinding speed through the helixes which was exhilarating. Bunny hops at the end are also great fun. The operations are absolutely TERRIBLE though - 8 min dispatches in 35 degree heat are not fun to witness. At least Hakugei you deal with your bags first, this you don’t. And then it’s a long ride with one train. And they ask you three times if you’re ready to ride… And then closes 45 mins before the park closes when the queue was only 20 mins… It’s a real shame it’s ran so poorly - it’s just so bad that I can’t give this the 10 that it probably deserves.

I wasn’t hugely impressed on an early ride, but this absolutely flies round later in the day and comes close to zadra for pace. The insane ejectors do take their toll after a while because of the tight restraints, and some of the transitions are a little uncomfortable for me as well which is not something I’ve had on an rmc before. It’s still an awesome ride with beautiful white supports surrounding you and just flings you everywhich way from start to finish.

Awesome theming again, but a bit of a meh ride experience, and you don’t get even slightly wet! A splash or something would be great, you just get nothing! I know people like that but come on, it’s a water coaster! Good for what it is.

I don’t like powered coasters but I’m happy to make an exception here. Wacky theming and a great station and sound effects add to the experience hugely. This side is a bit less intense so not as good.

I don’t like powered coasters but I’m happy to make an exception here. Wacky theming and a great station and sound effects add to the experience hugely. This side is a bit more intense so I preferred it. Good fun.

It’s very smooth which is an achievement in itself, but it’s just kind of… there? Why is it called python? Where’s the theming? Isn’t this Efteling??? Sticks out like a sore thumb and the ride experience is nothing memorable.

I liked this one, wish I could have got a second ride to experience it some more. There’s not much going on in terms of visuals, but when there is it’s great! Decent speed too.

Really good woodie - definitely got the out of control feel nailed down! Slightly prefer this side for the dive down to the right mid run but there’s not much in it. Main issue I have with this one is that the front half of the train is nowhere near as good as the back - but that’s probably the case with most woodies.

The theming is absolutely brilliant - like Taron it transforms what is in reality quite a basic ride. Awesome stuff. Ride experience is pretty good though to be fair, drop is great and zero g roll is very floaty, and quite an intense helix after. Will never trouble my top spots but may be my favourite themed ride (outside of taron).

Launch is good, theming inside is amazing. Theming outside is bad, and the ride outside is bad. Just doesn’t really do anything outside the inversions...
