I knew it was going to be bad, but I decided to be stubborn because I wanted to check off every ride in the park. After the first drop I was just praying for it to end and I’m an atheist. The rattling and headbanging was so bad I was disoriented for most of the ride, so I couldn’t even tell when the torture would end. Never will I be this stubborn again. After this horrible ride I've decided that I will never, ever, ride a Vekoma SLC ever again.

Hands down the worst coaster I’ve ever been on. The layout is fine but that doesn’t matter when the entire experience is nothing but extreme rattle and headbanging that makes you feel like a human piñata, by the halfway point you start begging for the cars to derail simply to spare yourself from the pain. The new theme looks like someone raided a discount Halloween store, threw in some plastic plant monsters, and took the rest of the day off. The purple and white color scheme is hard on the eyes and makes looking at it almost as painful as the ride itself

Just like any other SLC - really great, forceful layout. Trackwork was not rough at all, just slightly shaky. Leaning forwards stops all headbanging, and IMO the hard OTSR restrains on SLC's are bette...

Just like any other SLC - really great, forceful layout. Trackwork was not rough at all, just slightly shaky. Leaning forwards stops all headbanging, and IMO the hard OTSR restrains on SLC's are better than the vest restraints for this reason - you can hold your head forward and enjoy the good layout without any pain or uncomfortableness, compared to the tight vest restraints which stop you from being able to lean forward and press down incredibly hard on your chest and shoulders. Theming was fine, the ride doesn't have a bad presentation. Definitely not the worst coaster in the park, both Big Loop and Grottenblitz (which is actually really rough) were worse IMO.

As a kid I was too scared to ride Limit. When I finally came back to Heide Park as an adult, I obviously had to face my fears. Little did I know that my younger self probably spared me some trauma back in the day. The repainted 'Toxic Garden', as it's now called, is the worst coaster I've ever ridden. The over-the-shoulder restraints were a nightmare as my head was constantly banging from side to side. Only ride this if you hate yourself or want to experience whiplash first hand. A turd covered in a fresh coat of paint is still a turd, I'm afraid.

Despite the refurbishment (if you can even call it that given the track still looks the same) this is still no pleasant ride. The harness hurts your shoulders, the train rattles along the track and I was legitimately glad the ride was over. I wouldn't recommend this rollercoaster. This is by far an inferior version of B&M's Inverted Coasters and it doesn't even come close. They should tear this ride down as there are only a few more I know of that are worse.

Even with refurbishment and new laser cut track its still hot garbage. If you want a headache. sure go ahead and ruin your day. Only positive is that the ride has received a little better themin...

Even with refurbishment and new laser cut track its still hot garbage. If you want a headache. sure go ahead and ruin your day. Only positive is that the ride has received a little better theming but not an impressive amount what so ever.

On va commencer par un peu de positif avant de parler de cette bouse, la théma est correcte notamment la gare et la peinture des supports est propre, pas celle des rails en tout cas. Passé ça c'est un des plus mauvais coaster qu'il m'est été donné de faire, certainement le slc qui m'a le plus tabassé, c'est une purge, ça tape, ça vibre et les harnais sont designés pour provoquer un maximum de douleur. A part pour le +1 c'est à fuir et il me fait limite remettre en question la chasse aux crédits.

Another SLC. My opinion is mainly the same as for other SLCs. This one had some decent theming, soundtrack and story, though. The best I've seen on an SLC so far. I really liked that the two fog effects were activated as the train passed by, as if you were really fumigating the cursed plants. Anyway, it's just an SLC, so once and done. This one in particular left me a bit nauseous afterwards, but it was probably something with me, my massive breakfast and the fact that I rode both Vekomas here in a matter of minutes.

A really like a slc. I think they get to much hate. This one was actually pretty smooth until the last two inversions. The new theming on the station is pretty good, but during the ride it is terrible...

La gare est sympa. Voilà j'ai dis le positif, parlons de ce qui fache. Toxic Garden est un SLC, brutal et vicieux. Les inversions sont atroces, le confort est minimal, on prend des droites énormes dans la tête. Ca tasse les épaules, ça fait mal au dos, ça claque sur les oreilles, bref c'est de la merde.

All in all it's a nice ride, but for someone like me who gets anxious after not riding roller coasters for a while, the wait times are horrendous, even with two train operation you have to wait in the station for ages. It's loud and it rattles, the ride feels smoother than big loop at least. The lifthill is extremely slow, which usually scares me even more. Some of the inversions are quite painful. My head usually hurts for a few mintues after. The new theming is nice, but it looks quite cheap in daylight. Haven't seen it in the dark, maybe that'll look better. It got stuck on the lifthill when i was there the other day, though a few hours after i had been on it.

It really is just a mess. I came off feeling like my ears had gotten smashed off by how this coaster flings your head around and against the very uncomfortable restrains. I see no reason to keep it standing there to be honest.

A really uncomfortable and shaky Ride which causes Headbanging. You can prevent some of it but not all. But it wasn't as bad as I expect it to be. I was actually able to appreciate the forces to some extent. It is still horrible, but not as bad as everyone says

Natürlich ist es eine wirklich schlechte Bahn... Ich persönlich habe mit Rappeln etc. eigentlich keine Probleme und fahre auch Bandit gerne. Leider ist die Fahrt echt anstrengend, da man sich die ganze Zeit unter Körperspannung halten muss, um keinen Schmerz zu erleiden. Ein kleines bisschen Spaß hat sie mir aber dennoch gemacht, einfach aus dem Prinzip, dass es eine Achterbahn ist... Krass wie Vekoma sich im Vergleich gewandelt hat und was die heute bauen...

I was told that EL Condor was the worst SLC. BOY was I wrong. This is by the time of the review (158 credits) the only coaster that managed to injure my ear through headbanging. The pain continued beyond the ride and remained until part of the following day. Out of the four SLC's that I have ridden by the time of this review this is the worst one.

While I am very tolerant with rattly and jolty rides, this thing towards the back of the train was not enjoyable, as it not only tracked badly but also gave me a beating at one point of the track (that I don't recall exactly), that made me feel like my back had just broken in half. A front row ride redeemed this prime candidate for the world's-ugliest-color-scheme-award, though. The drop feels like nothing everywhere, but I feel the layout is actually underappreciated and is also quite forceful. I think it's a solid ride, but only if you get a good seat. Is that a compliment? You decide.

Based on the reviews and the ranking I was expecting the worst, but... it is not so bad. Ok, the theming is dreadful, it is the ugliest SLC thanks to its colours, the ride is very far from being smoot...

Based on the reviews and the ranking I was expecting the worst, but... it is not so bad. Ok, the theming is dreadful, it is the ugliest SLC thanks to its colours, the ride is very far from being smooth and there is nothing which stays in your memory, but it is still quite intense thing with plenty of inversions.

les coaster Vekoma ont la mauvaise réputation de vieillir mal. celui-ci ne déroge pas à la règle. lors de ma visite à Heide Park en aout 2018, je n'ai pas été sur ce Coaster à cause d'une migraine mais mon cousin qui lui a été dessus me l'a déconseillé ! un véritable casse-nuque !
