Maxx Force is a gem of a coaster. The air-powered launch is really powerful and the ride is glass smooth. The zero-g roll at high speed feels great. It's short and has reliability issues, but it's an amazing ride.

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.

This is a fascinating coaster. The theming for this ride is incredible, on-par with Phantasialand. There are a lot of spoilers that I won't reveal but...

This is a fascinating coaster. The theming for this ride is incredible, on-par with Phantasialand. There are a lot of spoilers that I won't reveal but the coaster itself is intense and unfortunately has a rattle. I would consider it top 5 worthy if it were smoother.

This is my favourite wooden coaster. It's glass smooth, very aggressive with constant snappy transitions that hug the terrain. The pacing is excellent and it's very re-ridable. The shed is disappointing but it's still brilliant.

This is a very aggressive coaster with strong ejectors. It does have a rattle and a pothole on the first drop that are worse the further back you go. However, it's still a great coaster.

Steel Vengeance is excellent. It's a long ride with some excellent elements. The best part was going through the structure which was crazy. I prefer the pacing on Zadra but I'm not surprised that this is the number 1 coaster for a lot of people.

A very good RMC. The first drop is great near the back and it delivers constant strong ejectors. There's very little theming and the pacing eases up toward the end, but it's very good.

This is such a fun coaster. It's glass smooth with a great layout. The barrel roll through the station was a highlight. The staff even sprayed the train and guests with water as you rode the ride! Definitely worth riding.

Piraten is glass smooth, extremely aggressive, with excellent pacing. It hits hard. with high intensity, especially after the first drop. However, the trains are uncomfortable.

The Voyage is a monstrously large woodie. The first drop and airtime hill are incredibly smooth; Gravity Group & Holiday World have done an excellent job with the constant retracking. It goes on and on feeling like it will never come to an end. The best part was the aggressive triple down in the second half underground.

Helix is excellent. The launches are weak and the back row has a minor rattle. However, the layout is excellent with strong airtime moments, dives off the cliff face, and an incredible soundtrack.

Siren's Curse is a great addition to Cedar Point. It's smooth, comfortable, got a great layout and nice theming with cool on-board audio. The tilt mechanism is scary on the back row but a lot of fun. My favourite element is the triple down.

Time Traveler is a great coaster. It has controlled rotations and is not free spinning. Don't compare it to Ride to Happiness and appreciate it as a great separate coaster.

Lech Coaster is incredible. It has very strong airtimes, the first drop feels like Kondaa with vests. It's the most intense Vekoma I've ridden. It would be great if it were longer but it's great.

Orion is an excellent old school B&M with great floater airtime, great elements and strong theming. It's enormous in person and the blue lighting looks awesome at night. My second favourite ride at Kings Island behind Mystic Timbers.

Wildfire is an excellent RMC. The views from the top are stunning and the first drop is outstanding. The tunnel whilst being blasted with wood smoke was a highlight. There's a rattle near the back but nothing major. There are pacing issues toward the end but it's not that bad.

Hyperion is an excellent coaster and number 2 to Zadra. The first drop delivers amazing airtime in the front and the ride is really snappy in the back (especially through the dive loop). It's well themed too. The final airtime hill is really strong as well. The layout close to the ground has some dead spots but nothing major.

Maverick is amazing. It's glass smooth, super aggressive, and wild. The trims don't interfere with the pacing. The launch is really punchy, I cannot fault it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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 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 uncomfortable. However, that does not detract from making Untamed an amazing coaster.
