    For a coaster of this length, it is near perfect.

    Primera caída Tematización Hangtime Demasiado corto

    What an underrated ride! Its only con is the duration, else it's awesome. Firstly, the theming is quite decent — can't compare to the masters like Phanta or EP, but still, great in its category. The Federation Plaza is nice, although everything seems a bit too plain, and the queue is also pretty decorated with several Star Trek references. Unfortunately, there was no preshow when I was there, probably because the lines were always under five minutes — I'm not complaining. The trains are really comfy, I love Mack's desing. Finally, the soundtrack is wonderful, one of my favourites so far; really builds up anticipation before the launch. Besides, I love how at the plaza they play both IMAscore's theme and the original series music. Now, the coaster itself. The launch was fun, a lot better than expected. Most enthusiasts are too tough on launches. Yeah, this is pretty weak and anywhere close to the good ones, but it's fun anyway. The spike was a disappointment, I thought it would provide stronger whip and floater and, in comparison with the ride's other elements, it's quite forgettable. Then comes the 'top hat'. What a masterful element desing! This is what makes the coaster an undeniable back-row-ride. At the front it's just fun; at the back, it starts with some decent hangtime, then slowly turns, providing lateral hangtime followed by ejector airtime on the drop. And the next element is just as good, providing two awesome hangtime moments on every seat. The overbanked turn and the Borg Cube curve are quite forceless, though. Finally, the ride ends with some bunny hops (the third is the best) and even more wonderful hangtime on a roll into the brakes. As a hangtime fan, this is close to an ideal coaster; if only it were a bit longer...

    Fun Layout

    Seriously, guys, I don't understand the hate SLCs get. On my visit to Walibi Holland, I just got one ride on El Condor first thing in the morning, and it felt underwhelming and pointless, not offering much, and yet hardly uncomfortable at all. I thought it was because the coaster hadn't warmed up, but it happend again with MP-Express. It doesn't have any decent whip, hangtime, airtime nor sense of speed, the drop is horribly pointless and most of the layout offers just positives, which I'm not a fan of; besides, those G's aren't really intense, especially compared to B&M inverts. I don't remember much of the other two SLCs I've ridden (I was a GP then), but if they had been THAT bad, I think I would remember. So, what's the problem with this coasters? Furius Baco at PA, Poseidon at EP or Coaster Express at PW are way rougher and uncomfortable.

    ¡Buena sorpresa! Fun Vibración

    I hadn't ridden it before the retrack, but it must have improved this coaster a lot, as my first ride on the very last row was pretty smooth. However, for some strange reason, my ride at the very front was way more rattly (anyway, it was easily bearable). Aren't roller coasters expected to be rougher at the back? Still, the ride was fun, and a nice surprise as well: I didn't know that RCCA could build decend coasters. My previous experiences with this manufacturer were... not optimal. At the back, the drop is quite enjoyable, and the ride has some weak floater throughout the layout. The turnarounds are too slow, but at least that way you rest from the rattle. Overall a fun woodie; not the worst, not the best (by far).

    Tematización ¡Buena sorpresa!

    I didn't know much about this ride, and expectations were neutral, so it was a great surprise. It's very unpredictable. The queue is great, it builds up an awesome atmosphere. I was there on an extremely quiet day, so the longest I waited was less than 10 minutes. Maybe it's because of that, but the capacity didn't seem that bad. With an unloading station and many trains, lines moved at decent pace. The coaster itself is a bit weak, but the ride makes a wonderful use of the lighting and darkness to create an awesome experience. Avoid watching onrides to escape the spoilers. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************SPOILER__________SPOILER_____ _____SPOILER__________SPOILER***********************************************************************************************************************************************Best parts for me are when you "go out" into the forest, really seems you are outside at night; the acceleration at the end of the second lift, which is a nice surprise; and the unexpected sharp turns with huge laterals into the complete darkness, when you don't see a thing and then suddenly are thrown out of your seat by those laterals. They scared me the first time, totally unprepared.

    Tematización ¡Buena sorpresa! Obra maestra

    I loved it! The queue is nice, with many references to other rides at the park, and it all looks great from the outside. Perfect adition to the park. It's not a thrill ride, but it's awesome. The intensity is very low; however, it goes pretty fast, and the launches are powerful for a family ride. I expected more like a dark ride with coaster sections, more similar to Arthur at EP, but this was actually a coaster with tiny dark ride sections, and great theming and storyline throughout. The density of the theming is generally low, yet it seems a lot due to flying through it quite fast. The soundtrack is another IMAscore hit, I love it. Everything on the ride is perfect. My first ride on it was the best due to the surprise factor, so do not watch any onride to avoid spoilers. Just go into the unknown.

    Primera caída Inversiones Situación Incomodidad

    The rides first drop was breathtaking, and the zero-g right after was good. The ride was a little rough and made my head hurt a bit, but you forgot it as you exited the ride. And I think the first part was better than the other half but it’s a must go if you are in Sweden. (I went on a 35 ride marathon, my head will not recover)

    Airtimes Fun

    Fun wild mouse. Exeeded expectations, my memories of other wild mice are worse. Not as good as Europa-Park's. The airtime on the drop is fun because of the loose lap bar.

    Fun Tematización

    The park was extremely quiet, so they gave us to laps! It was better than expected, decent family ride, and trains are comfy with those lap bars, but it's very ugly. Why is a coaster like this, with a support mesh rather than footers, at a theme park? At least try to hide those "travelling supports" with some theming.

    Tematización

    Just a credit. It proves how some theming really can improve the experience, as its clone at PortAventura (the Tami-Tami) feels like a much better ride. From what I have seen, it looked great with the old rocky theme, so I don't get why it got removed.
