Very well themed and a very good bobkart, I like how it travels outside, but still remains covered for the rain. I don't count this as a credit tho. Awesome soundtrack too. Very sad this will be removed, however I think it's an understandable decision by the park.

Fun and unique coaster with some very major flaws. The ride was the first ever motorbike coaster so it's bound to be a strange ride. It's not very well themed for Toverland's standards. The (strangely hydraulic) launch is fun even if it isn't super strong, and in the front the first hill gives a very subtle hint of negatives. The following turns also have decent positives. Aside from that though, the ride doesn't offer much in terms of forces, and it is a very short ride. The riding position is also very uncomfortable in my opinion. It would serve as a decent family coaster (in between Toos-Express and Dwervelwind in terms of thrill level) however that effect is ruined due to the bizarre 140cm height requirement (likely due to the restraints), which is higher than both Fenix and Troy.

Mack Produkt Perfekt haha. This is probably the best bobsled Mack Rides has ever built. It is very long, has a nice location and features a cool indoor helix halfway through. It also features two lifthills which is interesting, the second only to bring you back up to the station. The ride is very rough though, as is the standard with Mack bobsleds, but the rattle isn't as bad as Schweizer Bobbahn luckily.

They updated the theming but they didn't bother to improve anything about the ride itself (retrack, new trains? No, none of that). This ride is a godawful SLC, not much to say besides that. It's not bad early on but gets progressively worse throughout the ride. The in-line twists are especially painful.

Wasn't really impressed at first, but it got a lot better later in the day, and now I really like it. I've ridden both wings, though there aren't really a whole lot of noticeable differences in force aside from the wingover drop. The ride has a slight rattle near the back but it is very smooth near the front. Overall, this ride is intense, has very good pacing yet still manages to have hangtime on the inversions. There is also an amazing pop of airtime on the first airtime hill. Overall a very nice all-around ride. It is quite short but compared to some other coasters at this park (Krake, Desert Race) it's not that noticeable. The vest restraints absolutely suck, but that's about the only major complaint I have.

This ride is extremely underrated, and I rank it even slightly higher than Desert Race. People crap on dive coasters but this ride has an awesome first drop with some great airtime, as well as a decent pop in the bunny hop later on. The ride also has very strong positives during pretty much every valley (of which there aren't a lot), then the ride also has solid theming (a soundtrack and a giant kraken figure that acts as a tunnel) and the splash is incredibly picturesque even if it doesn't do much onride. There is one glaring issue however: It is obviously WAY too short.

Somewhat cool ride, strangely smoother in the back. The initial loops are crazy intense, especially the second one. The first half is also very smooth, but the ride starts to get rougher during the corkscrew and the helix, however the ride is still not unbearably rough. While I put this slightly over Grottenblitz, it is honestly very close. The smoother rows are better than Grottenblitz, while the rougher rows are worse.

Glad this ride is still here now that the (old version) Alpenexpress is gone. Very cool theming and some quite forceful turns. Easily one of the better powered coasters. Mack produkt perfekt.

Easily one of the best woodies in Europe, if not the best (though that depends on how good Balder and Wildfire are). This ride absolutely warms up later in the day. I don't have a clear preference for the front or back as both are great. The first drop is much better in the back. The following two hills are insanely strong in the front, though they are also very good in the back. Then the final hills after the helix are about equal, maybe slightly stronger in the back. The ride also has some solid theming, especially the giant statue that engulfs the train near the end. My only complaint is that there are some very noticeable dead spots, which is something the later Prefabs have apparently fixed. The section from the turnaround to the helix and especially the helix itself offers very little forces, and the helix also happens to be the roughest part of the ride. Aside from that, still an amazing wooden coaster.

A very fun Intamin coaster. The launch is very strong and punchy, though it is quite short even for a hydraulic launch. The rest of the layout is more or less filler, with the launch being the main focus of the ride. The layout does have quite a bit of strong positives though, and is surprisingly very very smooth (even in the front). The ride would also offer airtime on the last few hills, but the old-gen Intamin OTSRs that crush your thighs sadly prevent that. Overall still a short but sweet coaster.

VR is nice but the ride itself has one of the most boring layouts in existence. It's no wonder the park treats it (on the park map and the name) as more of a train ride rather than a roller coaster. Only fun parts are the tunnel and the gorgeous view of Barcelona (which is no different from the rest of the park).

This ride is probably one of the most scenic coasters on earth. Especially with the drop diving down to Barcelona. The ride itself is way more powerful than it looks. Delivering absolutely crushing positives. It does feel a little one sided though as it has basically zero airtime and it's also quite short but all in all still a very strong family coaster.

Super intense amazing ride. The launch may not be as strong as the one on Furius Baco, but you really feel the insane speed on this one. And you get crushing Positive Gs on the ascent up the top hat. The drop didn't do much for me, maybe because I sat twice in the front but you do get an amazing view of Salou and the mediterranean, especially at night with all the lights. And as a little bonus, a quirky little airtime pop into the brakes. Only flaw (and it is a big one sadly) is that the whole ride lasts about 10 seconds.

Speedy kids coaster but the tight turns are quite uncomfortable with all that speed, especially in the front. Nice location though, Red Force looks very daunting from this ride.

A really fun indoor family coaster with nice theming. Its a long ride with a lot of fun launches and a great variety of forces. I haven't seen the movie and I skipped the queue because I had express pass so I can't really speak for how well they incorporated the theme into the attraction but it seems nicely done. Truly one of the better indoor coasters I've done.

Stampida is wayyy underrated. This was really really fun. A very long ride with good airtime and nice interaction with Tomahawk and the other side of Stampida. And even a hint of Titan Track to smooth it out a little. Yes, the ride has some bad rough spots but it's really not all that bad like some people say it is. I slightly prefer the blue side because it's a little smoother but the two are very similar.

People are overhating this ride. Its a fine family coaster. It was also my first coaster by Arrow Dynamics and its a long relatively smooth ride that fits perfectly in the parks lineup. Sure not every moment hits but it is perfectly fine.

Amazing B&M Hypercoaster and the best coaster at PortAventura World. I rode it twice in the back and once in the 5th row. Surprisingly the 5th row was a lot smoother and the airtime was stronger (so maybe the front was better in the end). Regardless the ride has a great setting and strong airtime. It was a little shaky in the back unfortunately but that was resolved towards the front of the train as aforementioned. Only major complaint is the length. It's not short by any means compared to most coasters but for a B&M Hyper it falls a little short. I'm constantly thinking "wait this is it already" when I'm going over the last couple of hills.

This ride disappointed me quite a bit. But lets start with the good parts. The ride has a beautiful location underneath Shambhala and you can see the Mediterranean from the ride. The ride itself also has strong positive Gs. The Zero-G roll was awesome as well. Easily the best part of the ride. Unfortunately the rest of the ride just felt somewhat forceless aside from positives. Its also quite rough. Not unbearably rough, I would say not as rough as Stampida or Furius Baco. But those rides have things that make up for the roughness and Dragon Khan doesn't really. So the discomfort is a lot more noticeable here on Dragon Khan. All in all a fast paced intense ride that just didn't really do a whole lot for me.

This ride is really good and doesn't deserve the hate. The preshow is weird but funny. Then the launch is easily the best part of the ride and is better than the one on Red Force imo. It was my first hydraulic launch and its the 3rd fastest (operating) coaster in Europe. And I even got quite a good airtime pop on the dip after the launch. And then onto the rest of the layout. Yes, of course it is rough. I'm not denying that. But its not nearly as rough as some people said it was and its very bearable in my opinion. The inversion gives nice hangtime as well. It is however, a very short ride. Regardless it is worth riding it just alone for that amazing launch (and also because its the world's only Intamin Wing Rider).

Forget Steel Dragon 2000 and soon Falcon's Flight. This is the TRUE world's longest coaster and has been since 2007. The lifthill is really REALLY long. The main ride portion gives awesome views of the mountains and you get some nice speed from the airtime bumps and "steilkurven" along the way. Its also extremely smooth for an alpine coaster, much smoother than some of the newer ones I've done. Just due to its record this should definitely be a destination for enthusiasts when in the area.

Very rough and janky kiddie coaster, it's in a cute indoor theme park but the coaster isn't much. It does go a few laps, which is either good or bad depending on how much you can handle the roughness.

Winterberg has two mountain coasters right next to each other and both somehow manage to be terrible. This is the only single-rail alpine coaster I've ridden to date, and I sure hope the others aren't like this one. Per usual I never use the brakes (unless that would result in a collision with someone else) so you really have to brace yourself for the turns. It's also the shortest mountain coaster I've ever ridden. The Wiegand ones are always designed to accommodate people that never brake, but the Brandauer apparently don't do this.

Very weak alpine coaster. It's short and completely forceless, it doesn't have any good laterals, nor any airtime. Mechanical brakes also kick in way earlier than they should. Only part that's somewhat fun is the kreisel (Helix on alpine coaster) at the beginning. It does have a nice location close to the zipline, the herrlohblitz and of course the giant ski jump.

Not the longest alpine coaster in the world, but not the shortest. Just a good length. First half has a lot of good laterals, second half has a lot of airtime, especially right before the end there's a good drop that when going full speed gives good airtime.
