This coaster is inarguably great, but in my opinion, a little overrated: Yes, the long layout is versatile and by the constant high speed, the experience is more aggressive than Wodan - definetely the most intense wooden coaster I've been on so dar. After multiple laps, this ride can get quite exhausting due to the overall high intensity. The station building and the surrounding with the Troyan horse look nice from the outside, but the inner area you enter before going upstairs resembles basically an empty backyard and in the station there is only little theming. Nevertheless, the soundtrack is really pleasant to hear. I definetely enjoy riding this fun coaster coaster, but I personally prefer Wodan over Troy.

A fun ride suitable for young and old standing in a nicely themed area. It even has a fancy soundtrack which reminds me of a video game with jungle vibes. The layout is atypical compared to other Bobsled Coasters: it is more extensive, there is only one switchback turn and the ride as a whole feels more like one of the family coasters of the same manufacturer, but with single cars. The only downside is the capacity which leads to long lines - so if you don't want to purchase a speedy pass, you should hit this ride as early as possible.

Wow, this thing is awesome. Even in the morning, the ride delivered some great airtime moments - but when warmed up, a last row ride is a must: the first drop is very good (though it is not as intense as Expedition GeForce), but the following hill is one of the best I have ever experienced - the ejector airtime is very long. The first of the two outward banked hills is great, the second one is one of the weaker moments of this ride. I heard many people think the Non-Inverting Cobra Roll doesn't do very much - I think it is a funky element, especially the entry and exit are good fun how you are flung around. And besides these elements, there are smaller hills - many of them: some banked, but everyone delivers strong ejector airtime. An outstanding moment is the twisted hill right before the finale, because this innocent-looking little element has actually two pops of ejector - which catches you off-guard. The rides ends with a series of small bunny-hops which reminds me of the finale of Untamed, but unlike the RMC, you have pleasant restraints which don't ruin the experience. But the trains in general are comfortable and look fantastic, and the station is also nicely themed with atmopsheric sound effects and visuals. Altogether, Kondaa is an outstanding experience for airtime lovers and is a true highlight not only in Walibi Belgium, but also in Europe which should be on the bucket list of every enthusiast around!

I think, Pulsar is fine: it is technically quite fascinating (the whole mechanisms with the water pumps, the spinning platform to the load area and wow, these tracks are huge!), the launches are fun and you can get some decent airtime at the spikes and the speed hill. Plus, it can make you VERY wet (depending on which row you are sitting), which leads to long lines on hot days, and the soundtrack is also really cool. But overall, I expected a bit more - I mean, the ride does nothing poorly, but there is also no outstanding moment. Unfortunately, there was only one boat on the track, so capacity was not the best out there, making the waiting even longer. Nevertheless, it is not a bad ride by any means and Pulsar fits very good into this park, I really like the location on the lake. I would be happy if this clever combination between a launched rollercoaster and a Super Splash would be built in more parks around!

I really appreciate that Walibi Belgium kept and modernised its Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop rather than replacing it - this thing is short, but sweet! After a cute preshow, the train is launched into darkness and hits the loop immediately - this pulls some serious positive G's. With the backwards section, this ride through darkness (only lit by some light effects) can be pretty disorienting albeit having a very simple layout. Additionally, there is a pumping electro soundtrack in the queue and soundeffects can be heard during boarding and before the launch - "STOP THE SYSTEM!!!"

A decent mine train coaster providing a long, nicely themed ride and probably one of the highest capacity of this park. It is way less intense than Colorado Adventure, but it is still fun. In the front row, you might also get a surprising pop of airtime in the second half of the ride. Overall, a good choice for families.

For a fairground ride, theming of this charming classic is pretty cool and like other Schwarzkopf Wildcats, this one is also a great ride: considering its age, it runs fantastically smooth and the first drop has decent forces.

One of the better Alpine Coasters with an interesting layout: the first part is quite steep and terrain-hugging and after this, there are many helices with decent laterals.

The location on the hillside, interaction with the two other major rides and the nice view into the valley are true eye candy when riding this unusual coaster. The layout is mostly rather low to the ground with many wide turns and shallow drops. There might be a little rattle here and there, but overall, it is nothing to write home about. Theming is only present at the train and in the station, but the latter even has an audio-animatronic. To sum things up I can say, that this ride name is a fun family coaster for both young and old.

Theming is done beautifully (even with soundtracks made by IMAScore), there are some nice special effects in the station and the ride is great fun for every age: it runs completely smooth and quietly, the vehicles are comfortable for every size and albeit being completely kid-friendly, it puts a smile on the faces of the riders with the cute story. The only downside may be the capacity with only one relatively short train - on busier days, this could lead to long lines. But they are definetely worth the experience.

Even at the first glance, this very compact layout looks quite odd with tight turns and bunny hops. And although it may look like a family coaster, this ride should not be underestimated - forces are surprisingly high and the ejectors can get very intense: in the back row, I got launched out of my seat when the ride has been warmed up on a sunny day. And due to the lack of a brake run, you slam into the station coming to an abrupt stop. I think it wouldn't be possible to stuff more elements into this short, but fun layout. The only major downside are the too low backrests, especially at the airtime hills, people taller than 1,50 meters would need them as much you are thrown around!

Spinning can get pretty intense on this ride, and the fast lifthill is a fun little gimmick. Overall, it's alright. Unfortunately, the onboard audio wasn't working during my ride - but overall, it's alright.

The roughness was not as bad as I expected it to be (smoother than an SLC), but still it was an unpleasant experience: With two cars running and the slow lift section at the top, capacity is pretty bad, although the operations were not that slow. Without the annoying rattle and bulky restraints, the ride could actually be fun - but not that way, especially the section after the midcourse brake run is really shaky. Combined with the pretty appearance of this coaster, the overall impression is disappointing!

Especially the first drop, but also some other moments have some jolty moments - at least the mouse curves are taken smoothly and the ride experience is alright. Theming looks good from the distance, but the closer you get, the simpler it looks - and not to mention the eponymous dragon, which looks like it has been gotten into a car crusher!

Not as bad as I expected: yes, the hills are taken way too slow to provide any airtime (even on a hot day) and the ride experience as a whole is underwhelming considering the appearance of this large structure. But on the other hand, there was no major rattle, seats are quite comfortable and some of the drops are still fun. And somehow I like the location close to nature which fits to the charme and appearance of this coaster - and the adjacent railway line can lead to funny duelling effects with the coaster train :)

A really cool combination between a darkride and a family-friendly indoor roller coaster. Theming is done very well, there is even a (surprisingly dark!) background story. The faster part of the ride is great fun - for this small footprint, the overall experience is amazing!

Size doesn't matter - considering the relatively small size of this coaster, the ride experience is outstanding: The turns and changes in direction are taken quite whippy, there are some bunnyhops with great airtime and pacing is kept extremely well from the first drop to the break run. Additionally, the layout is creative and has a decent length - I really like how it is intertwined with the log flume. Additionally, the staff was very kind and funny which adds to the very fun experience on El Toro! Last but not least, a tip for some extra speed: Ride this while or shortly after rain - with wet rails, the bull goes completely crazy :)

First: Arrow trains are much better than the Vekoma ones - the provide more legroom, are reasonably comfortable and look more appealing. Considering its age, this charming classic runs comparably smooth - there might be little rattle here and there, but nothing dramatic. The inversions are fun - overall I enjoyed it. Plus - the booming psytrance soundtrack playing in the station at our visit was quite freaky and a nice change to the usual park soundtracks :D

The loud B&M roar of this massive beast can be heard throughout the whole park building up anticipation for a wild ride. The colour scheme is not very nice, the station appears quite provisional and operations are slow, but usually, lines won't get very long. The ride itself is fantastic: all inversions have a decent whip (especially the cobra roll and the corkscrews, which are particularly snappy) and I absolutely love the zero-G-roll. Besides that, the positive forces are really strong, the last helix is extremely intense - having the arms raised can be quite hard in this element. The layout as a whole is versatile, and has a great flow blending whirling inversions and forceful turns. Considering the age and the fact that this coaster is moved from Japan to France, the ride runs very smooth - no headbanging at all. This coaster is a real winner for this park!

What a great family coaster: the first drop has a spectacular view above the city of Barcelona, there are some fun s-bends as well as many turns and helices pulling decent G's. The layout is versatile and offers fun for everyone, the only underwhelming part of the ride is an elongated hill which unfortunately doesn't have any airtime at all. But the coaster itself runs quite smooth and the cars are also comfortable. Operations were pretty quick with two trains and the staff was also very friendly. All in all, a very pleasant experience at Mount Tibidabo.

An uncomfortable, jolty and boring kiddie coaster which has painfully slow operations and looks cheap - this ride is quite literally overshadowed by its gigantic neighbour!

First of all, the roaring launch feels like it would never end and the top hat is taken quite slow - so you can look down and think "Oh sh**!" considering that you are over 100 metres off the ground right before plummeting down. After that, you hit the brakerun and this hell of a ride is over. It is short, but a great kick for every thrillseeker - but if you don't want to pay for an express pass, you should be patient: at my visit, operations were very slow (much worse than in the adjacent Port Aventura!), dispatching a train about every two minutes which isn't great if the trains only carry 12 people.

This ride was a pleasant surprise: first of all, it has the "right" level of roughness for a classic wooden coaster which is loud, rustic and wild, but not in a displeasant way. I really appreciate the long and twisted layout which can lead to cool interactions with the adjacent "Tomahawk". The racing aspect is the icing on the cake, it provides great fun to both trains, you can fool around with the other riders on the lifthill and when both tracks separate and the trains head towards each other, it leads to a cool surprise effect. However, theming could have been done better and the Kumbak trains are a bit uncomfortable and appear quite outdated. Nevertheless, this coaster is loads of fun and when the rails are wet from the rain, it goes completely berserk!
