Primera caída ¡Buena sorpresa! Suavidad Intensidad
A very smooth woodie. It has a really nice first drop, a decent layout and is a rollercoaster that will bring many younger enthusiasts towards riding bigger coasters. It is not as intense as I had hoped but it's alright since it is basically a kiddie ride. Nevertheless it is definitely worth a ride or two.

Velocidad Fun Ejectors Vibración
What a weird rollercoaster. It is unlike every other one I have ever ridden. It is almost too intense to be enjoyable. After you get used to the track (which took me about three rides) it can be a load of fun. However the quality of every ride can differ a lot. For example the rides where you don't experience airtime from the side are much better than the ones where you do. But generally every ride has its enjoyable moments. Sadly the train already consistently rattles during the ride which is questionable for a two year old rollercoaster. The lap bar is very tight on this ride, so make sure you find a comfortable spot to make this ride enjoyable and not painful. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece due to the rattling combined with the fact that the quality of each ride will always differ. But overall it is a very special rollercoaster every enthusiast should experience.

Very enjoyable coaster. It is very smooth and relatively fast. The seats are very comfortable and the entire ride has many interesting elements.

Situación Vibración Torta Incomodidad
I guess this rollercoaster is as good as it gets with older Vekoma coasters. The restraints are terrible and the ride's discomfort is only outmatched by Express Platform 13's, it rattles and actually none of the inversions are that great. As on many Vekomas including the newer ones (e. g. Abyssus at Energylandia) the ride once again features much too quickly driven through loopings. Nevertheless the ride looks great near the lake and it probably serves as a cult classic for older generations.

Primera caída Tematización Inversiones
A very good coaster with an amazing theming. The elements feel very well balanced out. Although I think the elements don't feel as special as the ones on other rollercoaster types. The first drop is awesome especially in the front row. All the inversions and other elements are very smooth and relatively intense.

Airtimes Launch Hangtime
What a great ride. There are a lot of airtime moments, albeit that they are not aggressively intense. Especially the airtime during the backwards launch stands out, it's awesome. There is a lot of good hangtime as well which is being made comfortable by the amazing over-the-shoulder lap bars. The best moment during the ride is when you get vertically launched up and you're waiting to fall down again. The big drop is also very nice but I wish they had gone with a vertical drop after the top hat (just like on Red Force). I feel that would have worked better with the overall design. The elements are very nice but they are not as well working together as the ones on other Intamin layouts (for example Kondaa), so I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. Nevertheless this rollercoaster is a load of fun and delivers a special experience. To me it feels like an improved version of Taron at Phantasialand.

Airtimes Obra maestra Ejectors
Going into this ride I didn't even consider that it could possibly be better or even slightly as good as Hyperion. Partially that is true, but only in terms of the first drop and the capacity. The ride itself is a brilliant and intense masterpiece which is action from start to finish, there are no dead spots. All, yes literally all, airtime hills deliver extremely enjoyable ejector airtime (at least in the backseats). Just like Zadra at Energylandia it is a rollercoaster that is as close to a perfect ride as can be. All elements are awesome and supplement each other. If you like ejector airtime (just like I do) this is one of the best rides for you!

Lap Bar Launch Intensidad Capacidad
What a crazy rollercoaster or rather rollercoaster concept. Especially with the LSM launch this ride is a load of fun. The acceleration is incredibly long and intense, the ascend is nice and the drop is just awesome. The over-the-shoulder lap bar is amazing and takes this coaster to the next level. You are never stapled and the fall is like a frefall tower drop. This is especially noticeable in the last rows. I actually get everything out of this ride that I'm looking for in a coaster. There is intensity, an awesome drop and a fast paced layout that is admittedly a bit short. This is one of the most amazing experiences I have made on a rollercoaster and thus I do recommend to check this out.

For a wild mouse this was surprisingly good. It is a bit uncomfortable due to the trains but the layout is generally very smooth. The drops are nice and comfortable. It has a nicely themed queue line as well.

Airtimes Velocidad Fun Arnés Layout
Abyssus is a nice family launch coaster. It is generally fun to ride and has many interesting elements. Sadly Vekoma once again used the vest restraints which I cannot stand since they disrupt every riding experience. On top of that the elements are unfortunately not very well designed. For example the trim brake on the top hat slows down the train and yet it still drives through the subsequent looping much too quickly. There is theoretically some nice airtime on this ride which is cut short by the vest restraint's abruptly pulling you down. The batwing and the other elements are alright though and that makes the ride at least a bit re-rideable. For me Abyssus was a huge disappointment at Energylandia considering both of the big coasters they built before (Zadra and Hyperion) were excellent. Overall I wouldn't call Abyssus bad but I wouldn't call it great either.

Inversiones Velocidad Layout
Amazing coaster with lots of interesting elements. My favourite is the 270 degree double inverting stall just after the drop. The following elements are nice as well but nothing too special for me. I especially dislike the bunny hops since they do not provide sustained airtime and just abruptly yank you out of the seat. The trains are very comfortable (except for the leg guards). On this ride you can actually enjoy the ride when you are stapled. The pacing is very good - Until the last heartline-roll the ride maintains a steady pace. Overall a very good coaster that provides a special experience nonetheless.

Tematización Inversiones Suavidad
This was my first B&M Invert and only the second Inverted Coaster after Limit, which I found to be atrocious. So I went on Black Mamba with mixed feelings. Those were as it turns out completely unfounded since I absolutely love this ride. First of all the theming is world class. The queue line is right next to the track and leads through a very skillfully designed African environment. It really helps to put you in the right mood for the ride. In terms of the riding itself there is much to offer too. The first drop is decent, the inverted looping, inversions and all other elements are super smooth and well paced. They also provide a lot of intensity, which I didn't expect. In general all of the elements feel well balanced out. Overall I must say that this B&M Inverted Coaster is much more enjoyable than the inferior Vekoma SLCs. Although I think Vekoma have nowadays learned their lesson since F.L.Y. which is also situated at Phantasialand manages to offer a very good and comfortable experience too. When you're at Phantasialand definetely don't miss out on this one.

Airtimes Primera caída Obra maestra Tematización
Goliath is one of those very well designed older Intamin coasters which still manages to put up to more modern coasters. The first drop is great, the first airtime hill is pure fun, the other elements including the Stengel-Dive feel very well paced and balanced out and the final three airtime hills manage to perfectly round up the ride. The trains can be a bit uncomfortable due to their being so low. I certainly think the new Intamin coasters (e. g. Hyperion, Taron) were more comfortable. But nevertheless it doesn't disrupt the riding experience that much. The ride's most arguable flaw is the theming. I appreciate the US-like sign in front of the ride, but there is nothing more to it. I mean Untamed has a similar theming but at least they put a minimum amount of effort in it and placed some of the old track there for you to admire. But overall a surprisingly good coaster, which I highly recommend to ride.

Velocidad Obra maestra Layout
Zadra is in my opinion the closest a rollercoaster can get to perfect. And so far I wasn't really that blown away by RMC's work in Europe (Wildfire and Untamed). Zadra has a beautiful track layout featuring the best zero-g-stall I know, a great zero-g-roll and one of the best first drops I have ever experienced. There is some nice airtime on the coaster too, although I don't enjoy airtime on RMCs as on Intamins for example. Nevertheless it is fun. Zadra should definetely be warmed up in order to be experienced to the full extent, the rides on the morning often feel dull in comparison with the rides later in the day. The only real con of the coaster which I could not select is the queue line. What were they even thinking. I mean yes it is better to have a longer queue line than you actually think you need but they really went over the top. Walking 10 minutes just to get back in line is really annoying. But overall Zadra as a coaster is worth a trip to Energylandia on its own because it is a masterpiece.

Airtimes Primera caída Obra maestra Vibración
An intense and powerful coaster. In fact the amazing first drop already provides airtime and it almost felt like riding a Freefall tower - Beautiful! And after the drop the G-forces are so enormous that I'm wondering if there can even be a more intense coaster on this planet (looking forward to riding Intimidator 305). During the plentyful airtimes you also get the sensation that you're flying which I so far have only experienced on F.L.Y. at Phantasialand. I guess Intamin's over-the-shoulder lap bar improves airtime a lot - I also noticed that on Taron. The only con is that on the outer seats the ride can be a bit uncomfortable because of the rattle. The mddle seats are ok though. Overall a great coaster and alongside Zadra a good reason to visit Energylandia.

Tematización Obra maestra Intensidad
First of all the theming including the atmosphere is superb. The ride experience itself is something I could not have imagined. It truly does feel like flying. This is the first coaster by Vekoma I've ridden which I would call a masterpiece. The riding experience is very smooth, unique and comfortable. This coaster is worth a trip to Phantasialand on its own.

¡Buena sorpresa! Fun Layout
Definetely more interesting than I had imagined. For an older ride it is quite intense and has a very nice layout. The braking at the end might be a bit tough, but at least there are some signs telling you so. Overall a nice ride.
