When I first rode Black Mamba, I was very pleasantly surprised by this rides theming, smoothness and intensity. This ride pulls some strong positives which I think is the best thing about Black Mamba. However, now I've ridden a few more coasters and Black Mamba doesn't feel as good as it did when I first rode it, so it went down a few spots on my list. For the seating position, this is 100% a frontrow ride. You can see so much more of the theming. The problem with the other rows is that the train is so big you can't see anything, which is a shame.

The difference in quality between this and Cobra at Walibi Belgium is HUGE. Even though the layout is the same, Speed of Sound is so, so much better. It doesn't have those awful restraints Cobra has, ...

The difference in quality between this and Cobra at Walibi Belgium is HUGE. Even though the layout is the same, Speed of Sound is so, so much better. It doesn't have those awful restraints Cobra has, instead having comfortable vest restraints that do not cause headbanging. The coaster is a bit rough, especially in the cobra roll, but it doesn't hurt so I don't have a problem with its roughness. The looping is pretty intense in the backrow, especially backwards, so that is by far my favorite seat on this coaster. The absolute best thing about this ride is the onboard soundtrack. At first I didn't like the change from Hello World to Thrill Ride, but now I think Thrill Ride works very well with this ride. The soundtrack is synced up with the ride, so it really builds up during the lifthill before the beat drops as the train disconnects from the cable lift. This ride is such a vibe and I love it. Oh, and nightrides are amazing here! You can't see the drop when you're enclosed in the tunnel on the lifthill, which makes the first drop feel even better!

Very solid coaster and a great addition to Walibi Holland. The first drop gives great laterals and is followed by a very strong bunny hill which gives some great ejector. The dive drop and zero-G roll...

Very solid coaster and a great addition to Walibi Holland. The first drop gives great laterals and is followed by a very strong bunny hill which gives some great ejector. The dive drop and zero-G roll are solid inversions that give a little bit of hangtime, but the rest of the layout is average at best. Also, my past few rides on Lost Gravity were not consistent at all. Some days there was a very noticeable rattle that made the coaster uncomfortable, other days this ride ran butter smooth.

It's been a while since my last Disney visit, but I remember I loved this coaster. Loved Finding Nemo so theming is a huge plus for me. The ride itself takes place in the dark, which makes this spinning coaster even more fun. Capacity is absolutely atrocious though. I love this ride, but waiting almost 3 hours wasn't worth it.

I love this coaster! It's definitely not the best for thrillseekers, but this ride is simply a lot of fun. Lines always keep moving since Vogel Rok is a real people eater, capacity is amazing. Since you can't see where you're going, this ride feels more intense than it actually is, especially the first drop feels amazing. What makes this ride truly stand out though is the incredible onboard soundtrack. 'Vlucht door het duister' is probably my favorite Efteling soundtrack together with De Vliegende Hollanders station soundtrack, it really fits the ride perfectly. All in all, Vogel Rok is a coaster that I love riding over and over again, I can never get enough of it.

Normally I don't like mine train coasters all that much because of their uninteresting layout and multiple lifthills. This, however, is a whole different story. Big Thunder Mountain is by far my favorite mine train. The ride already starts with a bang with the underground part that takes you to the island. The layout itself is great as well, with some nice theming on the island and then another underground part that takes you back to the station. Reliability is a major issue though, this ride tends to break down easily.

Let's get the bad out of the way first. The coaster part of this ride straight up sucks. The layout is uninteresting and the ride doesn't pull any forces. What makes this ride so damn good is the theming. The queueline and station look amazing. And the soundtrack that plays in the station is one of Eftelings best, 10/10. The darkride part is very immersive with great special effects and soundtracks. This ride is always a must when visiting the Efteling. It is notorious for breaking down easily though, so get your ride while you can.

This ride really surprised me! The launch is great as it has a pretty powerful kick to it and the hangtime in the heartline roll is absolutely amazing. The rest of the layout is fine, albeit a bit short. But this ride is really fun, it is very reridable.

Came off a little disappointed to be honest. The launch isn't too intense and kicks in too early: when the countdown is at 1 instead of 0, you get launched already. People have been saying the loop is very forceful, but honestly I didn't notice it. The straight section of track after you traverse the looping backwards is just plain boring. I may be thrashing on Psyké Underground a bit too much since I went in with very high expectations and it just didn't meet those expectations. The ride overall is still fun though after I adjusted my expectations and it's my second favorite coaster at Walibi Belgium. The soundtrack is such a banger as well, if only it were played a bit more in the queueline.

This ride is perfect for a park that's all about movies. You go through a few different scenes that are being shot for movies and all the theming is done very well. The backwards launch after the first scene took me by surprise and the second launch during which you race against a racecar is great as well. The small outside section is not bad but the onboard audio really makes it better. This is probably the best family coaster I've ridden (don't expect any forces here) and is a must when visiting Movie Park Germany.

Booster Bike is a fun and unique ride experience. The motor vehicles are actually pretty comfortable to my surprise. The launch isn't spectacular but still gets the job done. Especially if you put your hands in the air, it makes the launch feel just a little more intense than it is. Capacity is bad though, Booster Bike only runs one train for 16 people per ride which can lead to long wait times.

I went in expecting a standard family coaster, but to my surprise, Dragon is actually pretty intense for a family coaster! Some of the turns and helices are pretty forceful and the layout is really good, which makes this coaster great fun. And the lapbar is super comfortable as well, giving you a lot of freedom. Only got to ride it once but this is a coaster at Energylandia I would've liked to ride some more.

I had heard many stories about this ride being one of the worst coasters ever because of its roughness. So going in, I feared for my life. And to my great surprise, it wasn't bad at all! In fact I really enjoyed Bandit. It is definitely shaky and bouncy, but just like with Loup-Garou at Walibi Belgium, the shakiness doesn't hurt me and I can actually enjoy its roughness. Some of the hills even give a little bit of airtime in the backrow. The worst thing about Bandit in my opinion is the pacing: this ride slows down so much during the turnarounds which completely kills the rides momentum. Bandit also brakes pretty hard, and since those lapbars rest pretty high against your body (almost reaching your chest region!), for females this can hurt...

While the layout may be a bit basic, I always enjoy my rides on Python. The lifthill is very slow, but that also makes it very relaxing, weirdly enough. The ride itself pulls some great positives, I sometimes even grey-out during the second looping. Python is butter smooth as well. Glad Efteling chose to keep this Vekoma classic.

First of all, the theming of this ride is amazing. The preshows really get you pumped up for this ride, especially the preshow just before the lifthill is really good. Then the main part of Baron is obviously the first drop. Do this one on the frontrow for the amazing views. But after that Baron just dies off. The helix is decently forceful, but that's really all there is to it. This is the only dive coaster I've ridden thusfar, but this one really feels like a one-trick pony with that first drop.

This ride is so much fun! Love the VR implementation here, it works really well and feels like you're watching a fun, short movie while riding this coaster. I can understand why some people might get sick from the VR but I don't have any problems with that. Haven't tried this without VR yet, but I can imagine it would just be a boring old coaster in the dark as the layout isn't all that great.

Hellendoorn did a great job refurbishing this old Vekoma. The trains have comfortable lapbars allowing a great deal of freedom and the ride is butter smooth to boot. Theming has been greatly improved ...

Hellendoorn did a great job refurbishing this old Vekoma. The trains have comfortable lapbars allowing a great deal of freedom and the ride is butter smooth to boot. Theming has been greatly improved (I'm a fan of dragons so yeah). Layout is a bit short with the looping and corkscrew but it's still an enjoyable experience.

Better version of Falcon at Duinrell. Typhoon also has some nice hangtime in its inversions and the ride overall was surprisingly smooth, except for some of the turns which can cause slight headbangin...

Really good water coaster with great launches. The airtime during the third launch took me by surprise. And if you're on backrow... prepare to get soaked. Like, really, REALLY soaked. Took me a while to dry up again.

Since I disliked Robin Hood and since I heard so many stories about this ride being very rough, I feared for my life when I went on Loup-Garou. To my surprise it wasn't bad at all, quite enjoyed this one actually! Yes it shakes a lot but it doesn't hurt me, and if the coaster doesn't hurt I can actually quite enjoy the roughness on these kinds of woodies. It's definitely not the best wooden coaster out there but it's still a fun ride.

One of the best family coasters I've ridden. The setting in the forest is real nice with so many trees close by the ride. The layout is really good for a family coaster and in the backrow you get pulled over some of the hills. This is one of those rides that is just really fun to ride.

The layout isn't amazing by any means but still fun. What makes this better than most other water coasters though is that you will get SOAKED, especially on the front row. Seriously, on hot days this ...

The layout isn't amazing by any means but still fun. What makes this better than most other water coasters though is that you will get SOAKED, especially on the front row. Seriously, on hot days this ride is such a great way to cool down. Downside are the long lines due to low capacity (only 8 people per boat).

This is what Tiki-Waka at Walibi Belgium should've been. Van Helsing's Factory combines a coaster with a darkride and it's done very well. The coaster itself offers some nice laterals and a good layout but the theming really makes this ride stand out. There is a lot to see during this ride. It's a little on the short side though and capacity, like all Gerstlauer Bobsleds, isn't the best.

Where do I start with this one. The theming in the queueline first of all is fantastic, probably the best Walibi Holland has to offer. Then why do I have theming listed as a con? Well, it's because al...

Where do I start with this one. The theming in the queueline first of all is fantastic, probably the best Walibi Holland has to offer. Then why do I have theming listed as a con? Well, it's because all the theming is completely thrown out the window once you get launched. The launch itself is good and the sea searpent roll is fine, but the rest of the ride is completely dead. It's very bland and boring and does nothing in terms of forces. The over-the-shoulder-restraint doesn't help either. Please Walibi, there are better launch coasters available nowadays, buy one.

Max & Moritz are the biggest guilty pleasure coasters I've ridden. I love these rides a lot because they are just so much fun to ride! Theming is top-notch as expected from Efteling and the dueling makes it even more fun. The best thing about these rides is the onboard soundtrack though! Max has the better layout with more turns than Moritz.
