This is a masterpiece of engineering. The height, the hydraulic cable launch and just the look of it. And for its age its still up and running today. Take the front row on this one. The launch is just face warping and organ displacing strength - never felt such launch. The way up and down is just loooong. Even though its just seconds. For rollercoaster terms it is long and surely feels like it! Love the twist on the drop which is like a whip. I can't agree with naming the comfort or rattle as a con, given its age and the swaying is not that bad. If its such a big deal you might wanna try the middle seats.

Ok, not a woody fan. But oh my, this is like riding a dragon while holding its tail. What a beast! Definitely the last row at the end of the day. The first drop is insane for a wooden coaster. The airtimes are beyond insane and specifically the very last hill. The pace and g-forces of the banked curves at the end is powerful!

What a freaking beast, after having ridden different RMC coasters around the world and you would think it can't get more nuts - yes it can! What stands out is the vast amount of unique inversions in different directions and mostly in the massive construction. Combined with the ridicilous amount of bunny hops you will be thrown around like a ragdoll while laughing like a maniac. My nr.1 for sure!

The first drop is as steep as the chain lift - that says enough. The way it just creeps over the first hill is just plain boring. Other interesting things to mention is that this is the first time I complain about being half deaf leaving a coaster, it is loud...I am really LOUD.

Compared the German rodelbahsn this one is one of the silliest ones. You do not enter the cart from ground level and lifted along the lift hill, no you have to climb a load of stairs instead. Sitting on the lift hill itself gives a part of the experience and view which is taken away. The ride is plain, no hand brakes, short and boring.

The look is comparable with a car with zero options. No colour, no decent station, no decoration. Just straight imported from Expoland and done. Yet, they have done their effort to get a decent inverted B&M in such park. Still love the deep roar and swoosh sound of the B&M coaster. It sounds very mighty. The ride itself is ok for me, not my favourite elements but I can appreciate it. The first drop has a weird lateral push and after that goes into the first inversion or looping. All other elements and inversions are quite snappy. I loved the helix at the end which is also quite long.

The first drop is quite good and gives the right pace throughout the ride. Especially in the rear it makes a good difference. And especially considering its drop height. For me it stands out with its helixes and gave some decent force. After 4-5 rides in a row it got me even dizzy too. This proves it can create some decent forces despite its rather compact layout and drop with tight and overbanked curves.

RMC (with Vekoma in EU) I love you. The sheer looks of this coaster is a dragon, period. Fine engineering at its peak. Beside the insanely long queue with loudspeakers that play so loud you might be deaf on both sides, it hypes you up for what's coming. And before we get to the ride experience some crucial information: ride it at the end of the day in the rear. Its a difference between day and night. The climb together with the chain and clicking sound from the anti-rollback security already makes you nervous as hell. Once you get pulled over to the first drop followed by head choppers it is just non stop relentless ride that tosses you around as a ragdoll. Every single angle, tilt and torsion in the track is there to never let you rest and honestly I can't tell any dead spot. It made me yell of joy throughout the ride. As with RMC its as smooth as butter and you can tell that with the speed it hits the brake run. This is my number one coaster.

That elevator is something else. I was scared as it tilts the boat slightly left anf right while ascending. Though it was not so warm we decided to ride it and the first drop despite being a low angle it build up the speed well. Depending on the weight distribution and which row you sit, you get soaked.

Oh yeah, what-a-beast! The lay out is truly impressive when you arrive at the park. The queue is long as in barely any shortcut for off peak days but at least well themed compared to the rest of the park. Great train with restraints. I highly recommend the middle two seats where your feet are off the ground. And here comes the only downside, do not take the outer seats especially in the rear. It takes most of the joy away from the ride and the sway is very noticable there, It gave me headaches big time. The first drop is the best I have every experienced. It drags you down like a freefall. WOW. The speed is beyond insane and with the second hill being much lower, the high speed will give you big airtime. The middle part of the coaster, before you enter the ejector and helix is kind of forceless. After that it stays low to the ground and oh boy those ejectors are something. Careful not to hit your neighbour on the right side when it does ;) Before the brake run there are good airtime moments before slamming into the brake run. This coaster is absolutely worth the visit to the park.

One of the better themed coasters in the parc in an area that finally makes some sense. The theming elsewhere in the parc is messy and cheap. The double launch is a good feauture. The first launch directly pushes you into a banked curve and has hills that fit the speed very well before the second launch. The second launch is fine. Not those Intamin launches a.k.a. powerful launches. After the top hat it has a great pace full with hills and banked curves with excellent forces. Not my favourite type in coasters, but I really apprecoated it during this ride. Together with Hyperion and Zadra, this coaster definitely rules the parc.

Ok, so I rode this at night for the first time and did a quick check on Captain Coaster if the comfort was ok. I picked up from a review to take the rear row (which is nearly always the best) and oh my oh my. this was my most memorable ride in the park. GCI coasters are great and this one stands out. The roaring in the dark, the Scandinavian theming, the train passing and rumbling through the station...WOAH. Then after leaving the station there are some fun elements to hype you even more. The first drop sucked my into the abyss, there was literally no sight and I was being tossed around like you are on the back of a beast. Its incredibly comfortable for a woody and the seats or should I say sofas are excellent. Thank you GCI.

Theming and small scene before the launch is fun, decent launch for a Mack, strong ejectors especially at the very end. Though, after a few rides it was discomforting.

Coaster or not, this was a great ride to do in between coasters. The sudden accelerations were quite fun. Pace could be lower in some spots so you get more time to enjoy the theming.

For its age its doing so well. I can imagine at the time being built this was a excellent coaster as in smoothness, train design, restraint type and being the tallest coaster in Europe. My favorite and surprising elements were the sudden drop with ejector after the mid brake run and the hills after that were great fun too. The final two banked curves towards the final brake run are very well done with its speed.

Love it hate it for being a straightforward record breaking coaster, it felt as an achievement riding this coaster. With that mentality this was the ultimate coaster for me in Europe. The launch is pleasant yet fast but not overly powerful, the vertical track up was insane, top hat has the few seconds of view before crashing down to Mother Earth.....though everything went so fast (+/- 20 seconds), I can't remember eveything well either. Riding it multiple times might actually be recommended. It is worth to ride this coaster, despite the necessity to purchase another entrance ticket.

There are way better mine train coasters out there with similair build date. The track looks weak and thin, its mostly straight up and down, curves are not banked...come on. Positive point...the direct drop the moment leaves the station.

Despite its age it still runs so well for nowadays standards. Especially compared to the newer B&M Shambhala. Plenty of inversions make this coaster so unique. I went to this coaster everytime I started my day during my stay. Shoulder restraints not my favourite. However at thise tines that was considered normal. Wish they would replace the train and gave the track a paint job.

The height of this boy took my breath away. For a first time in many years I had a sudden feeling of hestitation and fear once the chain lift passes Dragon Khan and keeps ascending. The speed is thrilling, its as smooth as butter on ice (Dutch saying translated) and everything feels so grand. For what it was designed for, this is outstanding for its layout.

Unique ride and I did not expect this at all. Actually, the first second you leave the station is already this insane roll that is so slowly paced it drives you nuts. The launch is decent and then this first drop....if you are going backwards it is like you are being sucked into the abyss. Excellent feeling! After that this coaster just messes with you non-stop and really has no dead spots. What a suprise!

What-a-masterpeice. By far the most beautiful coaster that exists. The built a whole steampunk style area with eateries, hotel, stores and this incredible coaster just passes through, in and out everything. The queue system is very much airport like. So efficient and well thought off. The launch and ride is just so smooth as if you are flying. Well done with this new track type Vekoma! The launch, speed, inversions and height are all just fine. It makes it accesible to all kinds of target groups. Highly recommended to take the front seat at night. Unreal. WOAH.

Where Phantasialand always has the restriction in height and noise due to the (complaining) neighbourhood, they have built with B&M an excellent coaster. Smooth as butter, awesome theming, good forces in all elements and the feeling you are a mamba by flying through those tunnels with some near misses really makes this a coaster that fits its name and theme.
