    First Drop Intensity Layout Too short Theming

    Alright, this ride is absolutely crazy. I went on one ride in the morning which was good, but not mind blowing. But, I got a ride in the front row right before the park closed, which was one of the craziest rides ive had on a coaster. The first drop is crazy, and each element really hits. I think the pacing is also really good, besides the brakes on the splashdown it doesnt feel like your losing speed (unless your designed to, like the stall for example). The airtime is crazy, I particularily loved the outerbank element and the roll afterwards, as your out of your seat for so long. The ride is a bit too shot, but they made a good layout for the duration or budget they had. Theming is basically non-existant, but its okay, the coaster makes up for it, and its not super easy to theme a 200+ foot tall ride!

    Airtimes Masterpiece Intensity Rattle

    Wow, Europa park really knocked it out of the park with Voltron. The ride is amazing from as soon as you start. The queue and surrounding area are absolutely stunning, the outdoor section and the indoor section are both awesome. The ride has a good locker system but they give a card instead of a bracelet, which I think they should change, as I was silly and didnt have any pockets, so had to put the card in my shoes. The launches are actually really strong, I was shocked by that, especially the beyond vertical one, and the ones from the turntable. The beyond vertical launch feels so cool, and has a good kick at the end which gives a really weird sensation. The ride has insane airtime, like it feels unsafe, and the inversions are really intense, and whippy, or give amazing hangtime like the stall. The turntable section provides a nice breather and I feel it doesnt take away from the flow at all, and the spike and backwards launch make up for it. The ride is overall amazing, but my one complaint is that on an outisde seat, it does have a bit of a rattle. On the ride, it doesnt take away from anything, but after my rides, I felt some mild headaches for example. Really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, and MACK have said they are working on this, especially since I have heard that one train has a very noticable rattle. The ride is still a 10/10 and absolutely amazing. Worth a trip to EP by itself, add on an amazing other set of rides, and this park is definintely the best in the world, even though it already was.

    Theming Inversions Comfort Launch

    Yeah the launch isnt that strong, but the ride is really fun and well themed, and the blue fire roll (the last inversion) is incredible.

    Airtimes First Drop Inversions

    They were running it on one train which sucks, but the first drop has good airtime and so do the other hills of the ride. Fun experience overall and the best flourless in my opinion, although I haven’t ridden that many. Multiloopers just aren’t my favourite and that’s the reason this ride doesn’t have 5 stars.

    Duration Pointless Layout Intensity

    Rode this on March 27th, and it must have just come out of a retract as the ride was running quite smoothly. There were some jolts and jerks, but the ride was running a lot better than I thought it would, and really wasn’t uncomfortable. The ride is really pointless though, it really doesn’t do a lot, I think there’s like one moment of weak floater airtime and that’s it. At least for now, the ride is decent and not really rough; but this ride would still be better off getting the RMC treatment.

    Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors Reliability

    What a beast of a ride. The first launch is shockingly forceful, and the next inversion gives tons of hang time. The top hat is definitely one of the highlights of the ride, giving amazing airtime, before the holding break holds the train building up excitement before that drop. The beyond vertical drop is crazy and gives awesome airtime, and the airtime hill that follows has some of the strongest airtime out there. The ride is super smooth and comfortable, with the new Intamin trains. The stall provides crazy hang time, and the whole spike as the breaks is a really cool feature and makes the ride unique. The queue is set up differently and the preshow and effects are all very awesome. This ride is an absolute masterpiece, and one of the best rides in the world. Only problem is that sometimes it can have breakdowns or mechanical issues, but they are usually resolved quickly.

    Fun Discomfort

    In my opinion, its not that bad as many people say it is. Rode it multiple times, still a fun ride. Maybey I have a higher tolerance for rough rides, but this one didn't bother me at all. Clearly thats not a common opinion.

    Theming

    Fun, simple ride. I'm sure the new one will be better, but its still sad to see that this ride is gone. It was fun, nothing crazy, but fun nonetheless. Good theming though, going around logflume and walkthrough attraction if I remember correctly.

    Theming Fun Intensity

    Never understood or knew people disliked this ride, its very smooth imo and a lot of fun, with some shocking intensity, especially on the turn where it feels like your going to hit the ground.

    Theming Fun Too short Pointless

    It just doesn't do much, it's really short but looks really cool. Very fun ride still, the theming is awesome but it just doesn't do much.

    What an awesome supprise, so glad I got to ride it! It contains some really cool suprises, which you shouldn't spoil but make the ride amazing. An awesome ride, Phantasialand knocked it out of the park yet again.

    Theming Masterpiece Intensity

    What a masterpiece, the theming is amazing and the ride just looks so good. The launch is the perfect speed in my opinion, you can feel the kick, but you wouldn't want it to be too intense for a flying coaster. Great positives in the valles, and amazing airtime on the hills. Inversions fell so incredible, and extremely floaty.

    First Drop Theming Pace

    What a beast, an absolute speed machine, and incredibly fast, as it feels like it never loses speed. Great airtime, and whip/laterals. Amazing Ride!

    First Drop Pace Layout Theming

    Such an awesome ride! My first Giga ever, its an awesome ride with a variety of low to the ground elemnts like turns, and high off the ground elemnts like the massive cammelbacks. It doesnt really feel short when you ride it, and oh my that first drop is incredible. B&M really hit it out of the park with this one, and is a great ride even though it was the first.

    Inversions Intensity Smoothness

    I have no idea what people are on saying that this ride is rough or has a rattle. Idk why people complain about this ride being rough or shaky, its the exact opposite in my experience. Some great intensity on some of the inversions as well.

    Masterpiece Layout Duration

    This is such an awesome family ride! So smooth, not janky at all. It is so well themed and a lot of fun, also pulling good forces and being incredibly long.
