We are now into the top 3. And this is the closest coaster to the UK on this list. And this and second place were both very close to be putting to number one, but I have decided to put this at three. But don’t look at it as number three, if anything one the day I feel like it this could be one. This is probably one of the more unique coasters in this list. With It being an extreme spinning coaster which is one of only two in the world made by MACK rides which by the way this is by far their best coaster this is located only about a 45-minute drive from the euro tunnel this is very accessible for people in the UK. And I hope I can get out there in the next few years as this is without a shadow of a doubt that this is the best coaster in the continent. And speaking of location I find it very interesting that this went to a barely known park in Belgium which was just a small family park with a few good coasters before they brought in this insane attraction. Ok let’s finally get onto the coaster itself. Like I said, this is a spinning coaster which you guessed it has spinning trains. It has four carts per train each having two facing forward and two backwards. And even if you wanted to sit backwards but you were made to sit forward, don’t worry as you are spinning the whole time. You could start facing forward then one element in you facing backwards, or even sideways. That is what makes it so re-rideable as you will get a different experience every single time. Let’s talk about the theming, there were only three rides on this list witch I think had very good theming, Voltron, VelociCoaster and now this. This is a very well themed coaster which is themed to a festival called tomorrow land and it is about crazy, cool which this rides cooperates it perfectly. With it being a crazy experience and what most people say is the most out of control ride in the world. But I think that belongs to number two which I will get to in a moment. Now for the layout. It starts with a very disorienting “JOJO” roll which is similar to the mosasaurus roll but unlike VelociCoaster where it takes it at speed this is just out of the station, so it goes very slow providing some incredible hang time, and yes doing this all whilst you are starting to spin. Then it goes to a halt before it goes into its first lauch which whips you up a 110ft top hat at 55 mph. but this is not a normal top hat. This turns 90 degrees before going down a near vertical drop which you get absolutely whipped down if you are in the back row which make for an incredible experience and even better when you take it backwards. Before going into to very disorientating inversion and to be honest every element is disorientating which is why it is placed so high up. And then going into a second lauch which is an airtime lauch which gives great ejector whilst accelerating. Before going into a double twisted element with more twist turns and airtime hills before going into the break run. Overall, I can definitely see people have this as their number one and I don’t blame them. With it having that full package. Intense, fun and disorientating this is the best in the continent and maybe even the best in the world although there are just two that I think are just that bit better.
