Situación Launch Suavidad Demasiado corto

This was my first ever Intamin Accelerator, and I loved it! That launch is just fucking insanity. I only got to ride it once, unfortunately - I went back to ride it again at the end of the day and it almost immediately broke down once I got in line. I would have loved another ride, but as it is I found this super fun, although obviously short.

I essentially went to Thorpe Park entirely for this ride. Well, not exactly, but I could have gone to Chessington or Alton Towers and I opted for this park because Saw is a guilty pleasure franchise for me and I figure that, now that it's much less popular, the ride isn't much longer for this world. I really loved the theming even though many of the effects no longer function properly, and that first drop comes out of fucking nowhere. The outdoor portion is also great, though both parts of the ride could definitely stand to be longer. The queue was amazing with several genuine props from the movies, and even the outdoor portion was atmospheric. Overall, despite the short length and broken effects, I enjoyed this ride a lot and I'll be sad to see it go if my hypothesis is correct.

I love Shwarzkopf coasters. They have wonderful trains and restraints. There is also something very special about the geometry of their loops that just make them more enjoyable than others. This ride however, it pains me a bit say, just doesn't quite deliver. The first part leading up to the loop is a bit tame as the slope degree on the decline is very mild. It takes a while to get up to speed to enter the loop. The loop itself was fine, nothing other worldly good or bad, but just fine. Then...well that's about it. There really isn't much to say for everything after the loop. It kind of just meanders around aimlessly. I don't think it breaks 25MPH anywhere after the loop. This ride is equal to Jaguar! from Knott's Berry farms with a loop in front of it. I was seriously surprised by the lack of excitement after the loop. It may have something to do with the terrain where it is built. Perhaps as this is one of their early loopers, they focused solely on the loop and didn't bother to put anymore fun in? I don't know. It is still a classic Shwarzkopf that I hope remains running for many years to come, but this isn't the company's best work.

Honestly, Vogelrok is a really good family ride. It's getting old, but you can't feel a single sign of that while in the trains. Don't forget to mention the amazing music this ride has. It's very well-themed too. I've ridden this ride about 400+ times in my life and it's by-far my most ridden rollercoaster. In the past, I've ridden this ride more than 20 times per day and I never got tired of it. Now, I'm a little bit older and my Vogelrok hype has declined a lot, there isn't a day in the Efteling without me riding this ride. It's a great ride for families, not the most intense for the enthousiasts. You can defenitely skip it, but when the lines are short, and often they are less than 10 minutes or even a walk on, Vogelrok is a ride worth "waiting" for. Don't forget the fact that from Ruigrijk, it's a 8 minute walk to Reizenrijk.

No no, you don't ride De Vliegende Hollander for the "rollercoaster". You ride this for the dark ride and the queue, which are both geniusly themed. De Vliegende Hollander deserves to win a golden ticket award for most beautiful queue :). You first pass through a Dutch golden age times house, then you pass through a painting. You walk through a hall with treasure, then you head up stairs and go through a bar, which views over the docks. Then you head down and board your ship in the docks, while beautiful Efteling music is playing. Then you go through a darkride section that I won't spoil for you :). You should experience it for yourself. The rollercoater portion is bland, forceless and boring, while the splashdown can deliver great splash in the summer times. Overall, it's a good execution, hence the 4,5 star rating. However, it just isn't a rollercoaster. This is a must do in the Efteling, but only in the summer, in spring and fall, when its cold and it's also opened, you can skip it for the other rides in the park, but it might still be an experience worth waiting for! It's perfect for families too.

I must admit that I went on this ride expecting it to be great. I was honestly hoping that one of the other two Intamins here would be my favorite, but no. This takes the cake--easily and by a wide margin. No doubt the best ride in this fantastically coaster rich park. I had zero issue with the restraints. They were perfect--open and free and just holding you in by your lap. I don't know what else anyone would want. I kind of get that because of the intense airtime this delivers that you could get a bit sore from it, but are people honestly saying they wish the ride didn't deliver the intense ejector air? That is crazy-talk nonsense. The coaster community craves ejectors--always. This delivers like very, very few coasters on the planet. Plus the airtime on this isn't just quick jolts, there are sustained moments of it. I can understand someone saying they don't like the feeling of literally being 100% at the mercy of the lap restraint for fear of their life--because that is literally what is happening on much of this ride, but to me that is what makes this spectacular and one of the greatest coasters on earth. I don't know of anyone getting off of any B&M hyper saying they felt like they were going to die. This, though, you can say that and it isn't an exaggeration. It delivers crazy out of your seat air on the first drop, then immediately transitions into face stretching positives. I literally could feel my cheeks getting tugged downward. Then it essentially repeats several more times. Throw in some crazy tight twists and turns all at incredible speeds and you have a recipe for a world class thrill machine. Did I mention that this thing is intense? It is not for the faint of heart. This is truly one of the finest coasters for the true thrill seekers out there in the coaster world. My only slight gripe is the "wing" design. To me it doesn't really add anything, unless you have a "wing" seat. So, 50% of the riders get zero benefit from this design. Even when you do get the "wing" seat, it isn't quite the same feeling like B&M's winged coasters. It is a bit silly, but because of the ride this delivers the seats don't matter much. Even with one of the regular, inner seats, this delivers thrills far beyond what most other coasters of capable of. Masterpiece of thrill.

I rode this ride back in 2018, when it was Rock'n Rollercoaster. While I do like the Avengers, I'm a big rock-music fan so I'd imagine I'd dislike the retheming, but that's just an oppinion. As far as the ride goes, this ride is the first rollercoaster I had ridden that I'd say is truly terrible, The launch is great, so is the Seaserpent-Roll. The remaining parts of the ride, it's either going around in forceless circles or it's going through the corkscrew. This corkscrew is by far the roughest elemt I've ever experienced. It beats Goudurix's batwing by a mile. If you go to Disney, you don't miss anything but pain skipping this ride and I'd reccomend you do so. For us enthousiast who really want the credit, do it once at the end of the day, when it's not so bad if you hurt your head. You can ofcourse make your own oppinion when you ride it, but as far as I can reccomend, stay away at all costs.

Pégase Express is the perfect exemple of a "perfect family coaster". Everyone in your family will enjoy their time on Pégase Express, from the harcore coaster enthousiast to 7 year old little Timmy. It offers some great airtime moments, as well as whippy transitions and decent drops. It won't blow you away, but when you're with a family, this ride is just perfect. I've ridden it 5 times during my 2 day visit to Parc Astérix and I loved it. I think the front row is the best, because of the airtime-hill after the backwards launch. That hill is absolutely mad in the front row and it competes with most elements of OzIris for best moment in the parc. I still do prefer OzIris's drop I think. Pégase Express is defenitely a must-do for anyone visiting Parc Astérix, for enthousiasts as well as families. I think this ride is perfect, since it has no flaws.

This was a very good, classic, PTC, John Allen coaster. On its own in park with 10+ other coasters, this still would be have been a solid addition to that park. Being where it was at Bell's, it was truly a gem. This was the only coaster and by far the main attraction of the wonderful little park. I went several times over the course of just a couple of years. I had a blast each and every time. The coaster had manual brakes. You literally got to watch the ride operator pull on this 5ft tall wooden lever to apply the brakes as the train comes into the station. The ride experience was more than decent. Classis wooden shakes and rattles with excellent pops of air. The first drop into the Joker's mouth was fun and a bit of a head chopper. It was very, re-ridable. The coaster community lost a real treasure when Bell's closed.

L'intégration de Taron dans la zone est juste incroyable digne de Phantasialand. La théma est magnifique et rend l'expérience magique. La partie après le deuxième launch est la meilleure avec ses virages et ses airtimes pris avec intensité . Un coaster qui plaira à tous et à rider sans modération !
