Coaster reviews

Location
Pretty mediocre alpine coaster, quite short but still a fun one! There are some larger jumps near the end of the lay-out and it doesn't have automatic brakes so you should slow down at the end. Location in the middle of a forest is pretty cool but this is something you'll see on more alpine coasters throughout Europe.
-
Airtimes Pace Smoothness Capacity
Quite a nice family coaster! Some weak floater and quite some forces in the final helix. Not really long, although you'll get two laps. Theming is on point too, but the capacity is not really good.
-
Theming Smoothness Duration Too short
A really nice little junior coaster. Really smooth, nicely themed and it does 4 laps!
-
Theming Smoothness Capacity
Probably the best tiny junior coaster out there. Overengineered coaster
-
Theming
In Dutch we call this "arremoe". Probably the worst Zierer coaster I've experienced. Seems like this is the original Zierer Medium.
-
Location Layout Too short
This is by far the best alpine coaster when it comes to the location and view. One of the more intense ones, too, but a quite short one as well.
-
Pointless Intensity
This once was my first Alpine Coaster I've experienced but also one of the tamest ones. The lay-out is really uninspired with a lack of large jumps, steep curves and helixes. The views are nice though, but that's applicable for most alpine coasters. Also, this one was quite pricey!
-
Too short Disappointing!
Easily the weakest Alpine Coaster I've ridden. Actually, when you begin to have fun the brake run appears... It's quite pricey for such a short ride. Also, this one lacks intensity.
-
Too short
One of the weaker Alpine coasters I've ridden. Could use some jumps - it doesn't have any. Also probably one of the most boring views at the top of the lift of any alpine coasters i've done... Price per lap is pretty good tho, just € 2,95 per cycle
-
Theming
Nothing special this one. Feels a bit faster than the one at Plopsa Coevorden but just a fun family coaster.
-
Rattle
Well maybe it's because we had private rides every time we rode but this thing has a really annoying vibration, such a shame for it's age. Also, poor animals, this thing is pretty loud.
-
Airtimes Harness Discomfort Tear it down!
It's disgusting. This rollercoaster is a torture device. Watch out for the restraints, they come further down during the ride and if it was already tightly closed this is going to hurt a lot...
-
Theming Capacity Duration Reliability
One of the most innovative and surprising darkride/coasters in Europe. It's like 80% darkride and just 20% coaster but it's one of the most entertaining rides I've done, I only wish there were more of these on the planet... Oh, also, I actually stole someone's spot while boarding. ;)
-
Theming Capacity
This one had no theme and usually you had to wait quite a while in the awfull queue.
-
Well, it's old. Just make sure you don't expect anything in terms of forces. I've ridden this one a dozen times the past 20 years but I always found it pretty boring actually.
-
Smoothness Layout Capacity
You can clearly differentiate between the newer and older Zierer Force coasters in terms of smoothness. Since this is one of the younger ones it's really smooth and I prefer this lay-out over the Force 1 and 2 ones, those lack some forces, this one certainly doesn't. Okay, it's still a rollercoaster meant for kids, but I think this is one of the best options for parks that want a small but quality junior coaster. Theming is not amazing, but still nice.
-
Duration Rattle Theming Pointless
Wasn't expecting much and I wasn't surprised either. Just an average powered, but with a strong and strange rattle.
-
Too short Discomfort
At the moment still the only Brandauer/SunKid alpine coaster I have experienced, but also a really stupid one. It's awkwardly short and you can better brace yourself if you don't want to use the brake. I really prefer Wiegand Alpine Coaster over this piece of garbage.
-
Rattle Theming Pointless
This one is no exception from other older Vekoma Juniors, it rattles quite a bit and it's pretty boring.
-
Theming Fun Capacity
Quite interesting and quirky ride. Something different from the standard Zamperla and Reverchon spinning mouses.
-
Capacity Duration Theming
There's absolutely no logic in the design of this coaster. One of the wackiest Pinfari's in existence! Still a quite fun experience.
-
Nothing more than expected. Just a very basic junior coaster. Still quite rare, those Gerstlauer junior coasters.
-
Too short
Sadly this ride is gone now. While it wasn't my favourite Mack powered coaster, it definitely was a fun experience, including a darkride section. It was the oldest roller coaster in the park but the lay out was quite simple and except for the aforementioned darkride part the theming was pretty basic.
-
Rattle Discomfort Dead spots
IMO it is not as terrible as most people say. Okay, it can be rough at times, but it's acceptable and you have an example of an even rougher coaster behind it. Update november 2023: you can definitely notice that the season was almost over. Especially on the wheel seats it is really rough, worse than I remembered. I still think it's better than Loop Garou at Walibi Belgium, but I can't understand how so many people like this coaster.
-
Nice surprise! Intensity Duration
This is certainly one of the best and most intense alpine coasters in Europe and my favourite one by far. With 2700 meters it's exceptionally long and it still doesn't have an automatic braking system surprisingly! There are some turns that are really extreme, sometimes a sharp dive down followed by another which is quite uncommon. If you have the chance to ride this, especially with no one in front of you that prevent you from going full speed, I can totally recommend this alpine coaster! This thing is incredible.
-
Theming Nice surprise! Duration
Yes, it is a Mack Powered Coaster. But please, don't expect it to be boring. This ride is a great example that size doesn't always matter. The lay out is very simple, but with exceptionally good theming it's really enjoyable. Every cycle has three laps, with the first one being slow so you can take a look of all the props and stuff. I don't think they could've do any better than this considering that it has a very compact footprint and it had to fit in the building. Also, on hot summer days it's really cool in side.
-
Launch Harness Intensity Dead spots
How is this one classified as a family coaster? It's actually my second favourite ride at Djurs Sommerland and it doesn't really have any cons. The launches do have a pretty good bite to it, the transitions, especially after the second launch, are exceptionally intense. With just a very simple restraint design it really is an outstanding family-thrill coaster. I only wish there were more of these around the world, allthough I have to mention the last section of the ride with it's terrible pacing towards the end.
-
Location Rattle Too short Discomfort
Well, what do I have to say about this coaster. It's short, rattles a bit and could use a fresh coat of paint. Station looks nice from the inside tho. Just your average Vekoma Junior Coaster.
-
Airtimes Theming Smoothness
A perfect family friendly coaster. Not too intense but also not really forceless
-
Lap Bar Inversions Hangtime Too short Theming Capacity
A fun ride that fits Slagharen well, but it is too short and does not have much theming. Operations aren't really good either. It's still very enjoyable with high g-forces, some airtime and really nice hangtime.
