This thing is so fun! The launch, while not as immediate as more modern technology, has a nice feel and pull to it that really makes you appreciate it. You then traverse a classic vertical loop that absolutely delivers. Go up a spike, and do it all backwards. It's a fantastic ride for a park that has been struggling to afford something better for a while, but it absolutely gets the job done!

The best coaster in Brazil, PERIOD. How can a 1977 Schwarzkopf be so damn smooth? It's a result of good maintenance by the park. The loop's great, the drop's good and it just packs a punch. If you vis...

If you visit Hopi Hari, don't miss out on this one (it opens at 2 PM and can get very long lines so you better hurry there before it's too late).

Katapul is, for me, the best roller coaster in Brazil right now. Even though it's a short ride and is around for almost 50 years now, Hopi Hari maintains this coaster pretty well, retheming and retracking some of the ride in 2022. The launch is great! The whole crew working on this ride hype up the train before the launch, it features an audio, and it's very well done. After the good counterweight launch, it goes through the intense vertical loop, and into the spike, which will deliver airtime throughout the entire train. The layout is repeated backwards, and ends up in the back spike, which will also deliver a bit of airtime. Great coaster!

Katapul is a great fit at hopi hari, and it serves it’s purpose perfectly. The launch, even though it is not the most intense, is quite fun and the backwards vertical loop is by far the best moment on the ride, maybe in the entire park. But considering the extremely short duration of the ride, i don’t think i would consider it the park’s best coaster, still very much worth a ride though. Psa: the ride was broken down for the majority of the day, so grab a ride on it as soon as you can when you’re at the park
