Wodan is an excellent GCI woodie. The queue theming is incredible and the operations are the usual gold standard from Europa Park. Wodan has relentless pacing and is intense. The first drop is mental and there are several aggressive outer banks throughout the ride. It's remarkably smooth for a wooden coaster. It's one of the best rides at Europa Park, I just wish it lasted a little longer.

The Swarm is a great wing coaster with nice theming. It's smooth and comfortable with no jolts anywhere. The wing drop delivers great hang time, and the bank turn over water is very intense. Ther...

The Swarm is a great wing coaster with nice theming. It's smooth and comfortable with no jolts anywhere. The wing drop delivers great hang time, and the bank turn over water is very intense. There are several nice near-miss elements. The ride is far too short but it's a good coaster.

The main feature of this ride is the launch, which is very intense. The top hat and final airtime hill deliver nice ejector airtime. The ride is far too short and the harness is a little uncomfortable. However, it's one of the best rides at Thorpe Park.

The airtime for Hyperia is excellent. The airtime from the first drop and outer bank turn is insane. The stall delivers incredible hang time. There are things that could be improved; theming, op...

The airtime for Hyperia is excellent. The airtime from the first drop and outer bank turn is insane. The stall delivers incredible hang time. There are things that could be improved; theming, operations, splashdown trims, queue line cattle pen, and ride length. Otherwise, it's a really good and worth riding.

Zadra is amazing, understandable for it to be number 1. It's glass smooth, very fast, and well paced. It's not an airtime machine. However, the first drop is excellent and inversions are very floaty. ...

Zadra is amazing, understandable for it to be number 1. It's glass smooth, very fast, and well paced. It's not an airtime machine. However, the first drop is excellent and inversions are very floaty. Brace yourself for the brake run which hits hard. The main cons are the ridiculously long queue line, poor theming, low throughput and annoying restraints. However, these are easy to forgive given how awesome the ride is.

Toutatis is excellent with a great layout and superb operations. It's less intense than it looks and would benefit from more airtime, but it's still a fantastic ride. The front row night ride is inc...

Toutatis is excellent with a great layout and superb operations. It's less intense than it looks and would benefit from more airtime, but it's still a fantastic ride. The front row night ride is incredible and worth waiting for. The corkscrew is the highlight. The swing launch delivers ejector airtime, and the banking close to the ground is exiting. The spike, top hat, stall and wave turn were underwhelming. Overall, Toutatis is excellent

I loved Oziris. The theming is very detailed and the operations are crazy good (I visited on a busy day and single rider was walk-on). Oziris is smooth with quite a lot of airtime. It's more inte...

I loved Oziris. The theming is very detailed and the operations are crazy good (I visited on a busy day and single rider was walk-on). Oziris is smooth with quite a lot of airtime. It's more intense than it looks. It's the second best ride at Parc Astérix behind Toutatis.

Expedition GeForce is an airtime machine with non-stop ejectors and snappy elements. The first drop is awesome especially the "overcorrection" which is great on the front row. There are issues; The annoying lap bar, the distinct rattle, lack of foot space, lack of theming, and slow operations. However, it's still a fantastic ride.

Untamed is a fantastic RMC. It's glass smooth and the inversions are super snappy. It's unrelenting but definitely needs time to warm up. It has low throughput and the lap bar is a little uncomfort...

Untamed is a fantastic RMC. It's glass smooth and the inversions are super snappy. It's unrelenting but definitely needs time to warm up. It has low throughput and the lap bar is a little uncomfortable. However, that does not detract from making Untamed an amazing coaster.

The only major fault is that Fianna Force is too short. It's comfortable, delivers surprisingly strong moments of airtime, has great pacing, has a glass smooth ride experience, and nice queue line t...

The only major fault is that Fianna Force is too short. It's comfortable, delivers surprisingly strong moments of airtime, has great pacing, has a glass smooth ride experience, and nice queue line theming. The inversions are very floaty and there are plenty of whippy moments. Fianna Force is better than Hals-über-Kopf and is overall a fantastic ride.

It's difficult to find negative things to say about Taron. It's smooth, comfortable, snappy, long, and with amazing theming Taron is just an all round fantastic coaster. There are minor pacing issues and lack of strong ejectors. However, it's still fantastic. Make sure to get a night ride, it's incredible.

Batman GCE is amazing. The launches are punchy, the ejectors aggressive and stall is nuts. There is no bad seat and the release from the top hat feels like a dive coaster with ejector airtime. The theming is really well done. The capacity is low and the middle car has a minor rattle but these are minor complaints. it's a masterpiece.

Kondaa is a sublime mega coaster. It's smooth with regular strong ejectors. The ride area is immersive. The only downside is the non-inverting cobra roll is a little forceless and there's a minor rattle during the 1st drop valley. However, it's almost perfect.

Ride to Happiness is something of a masterpiece. The ejectors on back car exiting the top hat are some of the strongest I've ever experienced. The theming is immersive and the trains consist of the usual comfortable Mack Rides seats and lap bars. The pacing is relentless. It's almost too intense but it's a must-ride attraction.

Icon is a smooth and fun ride. It's not that intense and the launches are not powerful, feeling more like gliding over ice. The theming is lacking, but the ride still delivers strong airtime moment...

Icon is a smooth and fun ride. It's not that intense and the launches are not powerful, feeling more like gliding over ice. The theming is lacking, but the ride still delivers strong airtime moments. It's definitely worth riding.

Black Mamba is great B&M invert. The station and Africa ride area is well themed feeling like a real jungle. The ride itself is excellent with lots of tight turns buried in caverns. It would be nice if it lasted longer but it's' definitely worth a ride if visiting Phantasialand.

FLY is one of the most immersive ride experiences I've ever been on it. The theming is off the scale and like you're going on a journey. The ride is a smooth, enjoyable flying experience almost like a tour around Rookborough. The night ride and pulse of Rookburgh are amazing. The seats can be a little uncomfortable, but FLY is still a masterpiece.

Baron is a unique dive coaster because of the theming, which makes this ride an immersive experience. It's comfortable and the first drop is good fun. The rest of the ride is okay; fun but not that forceful (it's also quite short). Baron is an average coaster but a fantastic ride experience.

Voltron is an incredible ride experience. The theming is off the scale and the ride is very long with constant ejector airtime. Even the turntable feels like part of the story and not a dead spot. Unf...

Voltron is an incredible ride experience. The theming is off the scale and the ride is very long with constant ejector airtime. Even the turntable feels like part of the story and not a dead spot. Unfortunately, some of the trains have a nasty headache-inducing rattle. Apart from that, Voltron is flawless.

Blue fire megacoaster is a fun coaster. It's very smooth and comfortable with great inversions. The theming is weak by Europa Park standards and it's not intense (especially the launch), but it's a lot of fun.
