Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Fun Too short

Such a fun family coaster that bridges the gap between the really small kiddie coasters and the bigger thrill coasters. And I love the setting right next to Poseidon.

First Drop Theming Fun Discomfort

An above average wild mouse, and that's coming from someone who likes wild mice much more than the average person. It has nice theming in the queue line and the ride is very good. It's listed as a custom wild mouse on rcdb, but it's actually a modified large park model with an elevator lift instead of a chain lift, which is pretty cool. In the lift you sway side to side, because it has a two elevator shafts in one space (if you don't understand me, take a look at Speed at Energylandia's elevator lift system). After that, it has a nice first drop and some nice turns and dips following, some of which pass some theming. Truly a wild mouse deserving to be in a big park like this.

A great indoor family coaster that is very well themed and very smooth since the retrack. It's also quite intense in some parts. And not only is the lifthill very long, but the ride itself is also quite good. And the VR (that is actually done right) is icing on the cake.

This is a good, but flawed coaster. The main reason it's so long is because of the lifthill and the panorama section up top. It has a spiral lift hill, and not a very steep one at that, meaning it's gonna take a while. There is some nice theming to look at though at least. I wanted to call the section up top a 'wild mouse section', but it's so slow it doesn't pull any forces, so I'm going with panorama, it also spins during this part. It's nice to get a good view, but it doesn't add much, After that the ride doesn't actually spin, aside from a controlled 180 degree switch halfway through the first camelback. So you're stuck with whatever side you're facing. The rest of the ride is fun, but quite shaky. The final helix is the highlight as it pulls insane forces. All in all a very bizarre ride.

Theming Inversions Smoothness Launch Dead spots

Definitely the weakest of the big three at EP. The theming is nice and the soundtrack is absolutely amazing. But the ride after the dark ride section isn't all that great. The launch is weak as always with Mack (though not as bad as some of the others) and the layout isn't all that exciting. The last heartline roll is really awesome though, and you gotta respect this coaster for starting Mack's entry into the main coaster competition.

Theming Comfort Smoothness Too short

'Too short' is of course only a nitpick from an enthusiast's standpoint, the ride is perfect as it is. It's surprisingly well themed for a kiddie coaster and really smooth and comfortable. One of the better coasters of it's size for sure.

First Drop Theming Fun Too short

With Poseidon already in the same park, Atlantica is kind of unnecessary, but it's a fun ride nonetheless. I like the addition of the turntables and the backwards drop, it's a much more fun way of getting to the other side than the slow turn like some other coasters do. The drop and the following speed hill are quite fun as well. The ride doesn't really add anything to the park's lineup, but it's still a really fun ride.

Theming Nice surprise! Duration

One of the best darkride-coasters out there. An unbelievable soundtrack and great theming throughout the entire ride. The coasting itself is almost irrelevant to the rest of the ride, and they couldn't have implemented a more genius system than the inverted powered coaster, which also works well because of the spinning cars. Definitely one of the best coasters in the park, even though it's barely even a coaster.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Dead spots

Perhaps the best Mack Rides powered coaster (not including inverted ones) to ever exist, amazing theming in the cave and I love how it was intertwined with the walkthrough and the log flume. It also had decent laterals. So sad it burned down, I hope the successor will be just as good, rest in peace.

Location Ejectors Duration

A fantastic and incredibly long alpine coaster. The height difference is so big you go up with a chairlift instead of a lifthill. The cars are also carried up by the chairlift, making this one of the rare coasters that is not a full-circuit coaster, nor a shuttle coaster. I didn't even go full speed during the ride and it still had great laterals and airtime during the dips, so it must be insane going full speed! And not to mention the view is among the best on any coaster.

First Drop Nice surprise! Duration Dead spots

This is the longer, faster and better of the two, and probably the best non-extreme spinning coaster on Earth. The three special elements are of course the most notable things: The tilting elevator lift, the seesaw tilt track and the "seesaw drop track" at the end. None of those are really that crazy on the second ride, but they're still cool. Pair that with a wild mouse section, a good first drop, and constantly switching between dark and light sections and you've got one of the best spinning coasters on Earth. Only the long winding helix in the middle of the ride is quite boring, but at least it looks cool.

This is the lesser of the two, but still an amazing spinning coaster. The three special elements are of course the most notable things: The tilting elevator lift, the sideways tilt track and the "seesaw drop track" at the end. None of those are really that crazy on the second ride, but they're still cool. Pair that with a wild mouse section, a good first drop, and constantly switching between dark and light sections and you've got one of the best spinning coasters on Earth.

Theming Launch Masterpiece Dead spots

Amazing long ride with two launches through an incredible artificial terrain. The launches aren't that strong and the ride is just meandering at some points but that doesn't take it away from my number three spot.

Theming Fun Smoothness Too short

Great custom well themed Vekoma family boomerang. These rides are a lot of fun and I love how it dives deep into the tunnel and takes advantage of the artificial terrain, it also intertwines with Taron which is cool.

Theming Nice surprise! Duration Dead spots

This is an example of VR on a coaster done right. It works with a really neat efficient system. The ride is fun both with and without the VR. The ride itself is very long, but not very exciting. It's an indoor Vekoma family coaster with three lifthills, so I think the added bonus of the VR was the right choice, although they could have also just themed the ride better with actual set pieces or screens.

Theming Fun Duration Rattle Discomfort Dead spots

This is an exceptional mine train, it has three lifthills and a really great indoor section. It's also intertwined with Chiapas which is really cool. It is however, very janky, at some points it threw me around so much I was literally standing up, but oh well. Also I don't know if this was done deliberately to decrease long lines, but it's an annoyingly long walk from the exit to the entrance, even though they're right next to each other as the crow flies.

Theming Inversions Intensity

This ride has incredible theming, especially for a B&M Invert, and the ride itself is spectacular too. An intense ride with whippy inversions and several near-misses, it's an intense ride for sure. A fantastic coaster all-around.

Fun Duration Rattle Discomfort

It sure was shaky but it really wasn't all that bad. In fact, it was quite a lot of fun, the replacement was worth it though, rest in peace.

I remember next to nothing about this ride other than it being fun.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Discomfort

A very well themed indoor Gerstlauer Bobsled. It's very well themed in both the queue line and on the ride itself, you always have something to look at. Gerstlauer Bobsleds are fun, but quirky rides. Although there is one moment I dislike. After the hairpin turns before the second lift hill (which remarkably uses a different system than the first one), there is a sudden drop into another hairpin turn in the opposite direction, which is a bit jarring, especially since it's one of the few moments taking place in complete darkness, so you can't see it coming whatsoever. But aside from that minor nitpick, it's still a good family coaster. Despite having two lifthills, it's not the longest, but I can look past that.

Theming Inversions Hangtime Too short Launch Dead spots

This ride is kind of a mixed bag. The theming is very good (fantastic soundtrack too), let's start with that. The switchtrack at the start of the ride is cool, but the following multi-pass launch is incredibly slow, the spike does give some nice air though. The rest of the layout has some nice inversions, but it's pretty short and not too exciting. Still a good ride though, but Movie Park Germany needs a better number one, like RMC Bandit.

Rattle Tear it down! Pointless

Worst ride I've ever been on, shakes you around like a ragdoll, I couldn't even tell what was airtime and what was just the insane vibration. It's like riding a bull going 80km/h. You're never in your seat for more than a few seconds as you're constantly being thrown around, and don't you confuse that with ejector airtime. I say remove it or RMC it.

Layout Headbanging Discomfort

This ride is of course not a masterpiece, but it's really not all that bad, especially compared to other SLC's. I got pretty minimal headbanging. Bandit is way worse.

Theming Fun Discomfort

I'm one of the few people that actually likes wild mice, and this one is no exception. The brakes and laterals can be a bit uncomfortable, sure, but it's still a fun ride and certainly not a bad fit for a park like this. Plus the SpongeBob theme is pretty cool too.

Fun Too short

Fun kiddie coaster, it's not amazing but it is nicely themed and is a good fit for the park.

Airtimes Masterpiece Intensity

My number one. One of the most insane contraptions ever devised. It's mostly free-spinning so there's no telling what's going to happen. The first inversion is already crazy with insane hangtime. The launch itself isn't strong, but combined with the spinning it's - again - insane. The top hat delivers crazy airtime going up and down. The banana roll strangely enough almost feels like a vertical loop because of the spinning. The following inversions don't do much in terms of forces, but you're still spinning. The second launch has nice airtime and the (not technically but very similar) flying snake dive while spinning is simply demonic. The final two hills have RMC-level airtime. Plopsaland went above and beyond with this ride.

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar Dead spots

Definitely one of if not the best Goliath out there. A great (albeit not too big) first drop, a great camelback, a stengel dive and some great bunny hops at the end. The middle section is very lacking though. It also has some slight vibration but it's nothing big.

Intensity Ejectors Duration

When I last rode it, the supposed roughness hadn't kicked in yet, so I'll have to base my perhaps outdated opinions off of that. At least back then it was a very smooth and long big wooden coaster, with lots of airtime. Definitely the best ride in the park.

First Drop Theming Ejectors Dead spots

For Walibi this is a nicely themed ride and the ride itself is also good. I rode it twice in the front-row right-wing seat and I didn't really notice the supposed rattle. It has nice inversions, with hangtime, good ejector moments and a whippy first drop. There are some sections that don't do much but that's alright.
