Coaster reviews

First Drop Intensity Too short

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.

Capacity Comfort Too short Intensity

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.

Intensity Rattle

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.

Capacity Duration Dead spots Intensity

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.

Pointless

This one is pretty dull even for a kiddie coaster.

Nice surprise! Fun

My kids loved this and wanted to ride it over and over. The nice thing about a spinning coaster is that every ride is different. It's pretty intense for a ride with such a low height restriction.

Launch Too short Dead spots

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.

Intensity Smoothness Layout Too short

Fēnix is a smooth wing coaster with a good layout. The first dive is fun and the forces on the banked turns are pretty intense. I just wish it was longer.

Theming Fun

Honestly pretty good for a kiddie coaster. The music and duelling trains add to the fun factor. The second lap goes faster, which is a nice twist.

Harness Smoothness Tear it down! Layout

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.

Theming Pointless

What is there to say. Everything happens in the dark and you don't see much at all. My kids liked it, though.

Theming

Theming is great. The station is one of the best I've seen. The dark ride section is cool. We didn't get wet at all after the splash in the first row, but that didn't really bother me.

Fun

The race concept is fun. It's also nice that kids down to 1.10m can take this. It packs a punch compared to other coasters kids that age can ride. Other than that, it's a run-of-the-mill woody.

First Drop Theming Too short

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.

Fun Theming

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.

Capacity Headbanging Discomfort

This one was just uncomfortable. When you drop backwards in those rough and rattly trains, your neck takes a beating. Would not ride again.

Fun Intensity Too short

For a kiddie coaster that my 5-year-old could ride, this was fairly intense. Finally a ride that the entire family enjoyed. It's a bit on the short side.

Theming Smoothness Layout Capacity

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.

Theming Masterpiece Duration

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.

Fun Masterpiece Ejectors

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.

Theming Location Too short Capacity

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.

Fun Layout Intensity

Was known as Bizarro when I was there. It really does look bizarre with its sharp angles. The ride is not as crazy as it looks, but still a lot of fun.

Capacity Pointless

This actually had the longest wait time in all of Liseberg because it wasn't part of the excellent virtual queuing system used in the bigger rides. It was not worth the wait.

Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

This is the only ride at Six Flags Great Adventure that was outright uncomfortable, mainly due to headbanging. Not a pleasant experience.

Fun Too short

Fun, but a bit short. My ride was sort of ruined because the ride broke down and we were left hanging there for half an hour.

First Drop Capacity Smoothness

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.

Airtimes First Drop Intensity

The best wooden coaster I've ever experienced by far. The first drop is shockingly steep and the airtime on the camelback hills are insane.

Capacity Discomfort Lap Bar

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.

Capacity Theming

A good kiddie coaster that has great capacity, since it long train takes 38 people. However, the dark indoor section didn't have any theming, which seems like a wasted opportunity.

Location Capacity Dead spots

An okay kiddie coaster that feels a bit dated. The tracks were rusty and could need some refurbishment. The wait time was also too long considering the quality of the ride. The kids liked it though.
