It's a decent ride with a pretty good first drop, but it's also a bit overrated in my opinion, especially considering this is the biggest coaster in the park. I understand Djurs is a family park, but they should have something bigger.

This is a decent gateway coaster for less experienced riders. For thrill seekers, it's a little too short and tame. But it's a smooth ride with an alright launch. It had short queue times when I was there since everyone was queuing up for Voltron.

It's the biggest woodie in the Benelux. Not nearly as large as something like Colossos, but still pretty intense. There is some rattle, which is normal on these coasters, but nothing too bad. It's bes...

It's the biggest woodie in the Benelux. Not nearly as large as something like Colossos, but still pretty intense. There is some rattle, which is normal on these coasters, but nothing too bad. It's best in the back.

I imagine this would have been an imposing coaster back when it opened as one of the tallest in the world, but in this day and age, a 67-meter drop is nothing special in itself. The first drop is also...

I imagine this would have been an imposing coaster back when it opened as one of the tallest in the world, but in this day and age, a 67-meter drop is nothing special in itself. The first drop is also not that steep, which makes the ride a little tamer than it looks. It's like a milder version of Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure, despite being very similar in terms of layout, height and speed. But it's a smooth hyper with solid capacity, so it's definitely worth a ride or two.

This was my first time on a motorbike coaster. I l like the concept. However, it had the longest queue of the coasters in Toverland, and the ride is really short. The 1.40m height restriction is also pretty annoying on a family coaster. The launch was alright, but other than that, the ride didn't really offer anything. The seating was less comfortable than it looked.

It's a classic coaster with two tiny loops. Not exactly my favorite element, as they mainly make me dizzy and hurt my neck without adding any enjoyment. Despite running much smoother than one would ex...

It's a classic coaster with two tiny loops. Not exactly my favorite element, as they mainly make me dizzy and hurt my neck without adding any enjoyment. Despite running much smoother than one would expect from a coaster this old, it still feels very dated. A park like Efteling should really have higher standards and replace it with something more modern.

It's a smooth ride with really nice theming and it looks awesome. It's smaller than other dive coasters, which makes the first drop less imposing. Like other divers, it's also way too short. It's stil...

It's a smooth ride with really nice theming and it looks awesome. It's smaller than other dive coasters, which makes the first drop less imposing. Like other divers, it's also way too short. It's still the best coaster at Efteling by a good margin.

A fun ride, especially for kids. It's a bobsleigh ride that's been designed like a rollercoaster, which is something I haven't seen before. The section in the dark was a nice surprise and the best par...

A fun ride, especially for kids. It's a bobsleigh ride that's been designed like a rollercoaster, which is something I haven't seen before. The section in the dark was a nice surprise and the best part of the ride.

The theming on this hybrid dark ride/coaster is epic. I just wish they had picked a theme me and my kids knew anything about. When you don't speak German and don't know the franchise, it gets kind of ...

The theming on this hybrid dark ride/coaster is epic. I just wish they had picked a theme me and my kids knew anything about. When you don't speak German and don't know the franchise, it gets kind of pointless. The layout is really well done, and it's a lot of fun to fly through the forest, even if there is no intensity. The queues were rather long.

There is so much going on in this coaster. The theming is great, and the queue room with the musical tesla coils is nothing like I've seen before. From the moment you get on and there are electric sparks on large monitors all around you while the entire platform is shaken up and down, you know you're in for a wild ride. The launch is unique, shooting right up into a steep loop with a stall that leaves you hanging weightless upside down. Another cool moment is when you break to a full stop and are launched backwards. I had read complaints about rattling and discomfort in the outer seats, but I didn't really notice it. The only thing I was missing was more intense ejectors, but the ride makes up for it with all its unique elements.

Helix is a truly unique experience with its start on top of a hill and the way it hugs the terrain. When the train leaves the station, it's action right from the start, and it doesn't stop until you're back at the station. If anything, the ride just gets better as it progresses. There are so many different elements here, they just keep on coming. The crux of the ride is a top hat towards the end that provides crazy airtime if you ride from the back. From the front, the ride is slightly less intense, but you get more positive Gs. The only thing Helix is missing is a big drop, but it's so good it honestly doesn't need one. The accelerators don't add g-force, but that's not the point. They serve the purpose of setting up the next element. Overall, my favorite coaster in Europe.

Fun theming. Who hasn't asked to go "all the way to the Moon" as a kid. It is nicely located next to the playground so that part of the family can go on Luna while the rest watches from below. Goi...

Fun theming. Who hasn't asked to go "all the way to the Moon" as a kid. It is nicely located next to the playground so that part of the family can go on Luna while the rest watches from below. Going backwards was a nice twist. Unfortunately you have to be in the front to "go to the Moon", as the back hardly goes up the hill at all. On the other hand, the back gets a much better first drop. My son really struggled with the choice here. The virtual queue was fully booked and the wait times were quite long by the time we got there.

Really underrated and definitely one of the very best rides at Six Flags Great Adventure. The lift hill gives you sufficient time to regret your life decisions and the first drop is awesome. The two c...

Really underrated and definitely one of the very best rides at Six Flags Great Adventure. The lift hill gives you sufficient time to regret your life decisions and the first drop is awesome. The two camelback hills that follow are comparable to solid drops on a mega coaster. Great capacity too.

At 183 cm, I'm a completely average-sized man, yet I struggled to fit my legs inside to the point that it interfered with my daughter's lap bar. I got told off by the operator as if it was my fault. T...

At 183 cm, I'm a completely average-sized man, yet I struggled to fit my legs inside to the point that it interfered with my daughter's lap bar. I got told off by the operator as if it was my fault. To make matters worse, he didn't speak any English. In the end, he started the ride even if she was not properly secured because he would not bother to lift the lap bars again. Awful experience.
