    Airtimes Fluidité Théma Débit

    This is basically a shorter and less intense version of Big Dipper: the airtime is mostly floater, but it's still good fun. The ride runs smoother than its white neighbour, but this might be due to the heavily cushioned seats which look like Grandma's old sofa. The biggest drawbacks might be the theming which quite doesn't match to a classic old woodie (especially the striking color scheme is an eyesore from this point of view) and the capacity - it runs only one train, so it often has the longest line of this park!

    Airtimes Bonne suprise ! Longueur

    This one ran pretty well for such an old ride - surely it was a bit rough, but not in an unpleasant way. This long ride has plenty of airtime moments (some of them are really surprising because you won't expect them) and it is just plain fun.

    Confort Layout Longueur Launch

    Well, the launches are both fairly weak (they one of blue fire is way more intense), but that's not what Icon is about. On my first ride, I was a little disappointed, but later rides made me change my point of view for this well-rounded coaster which is easily the best ride at Pleasure Beach. I strongly prefer the front to the back rows, because especially the first airtime hill is much more intense here. I appreciate the long, twisted layout with many intercations with the other coasters, the quick changes in direction and the barrel-roll which provides great hangtime. The end is not the strongest, it kind of fizzles out on the Taron-like transitions, but they are taken too slowly - but the strong beginning and middle section makes up for it. Theming is not really present, but the appearance is still pretty nice with its minimalistic look and sleek architecture. And the beautiful soundtrack is also worth mentioning! Overall, it's an awesome ride which shound not be missed when visiting Pleasure Beach!

    Théma Situation Layout Fiabilité

    As a dark ride, this ride is great: it has a nice story, gorgeous theming (especially in the queueline and station), a catchy soundtrack and immersive effects. The coaster part on the other hand of this nothing special - it's pretty mild and sometimes a little janky. But the location on the lake is really nice.

    Théma Fun Fluidité

    A great family coaster: quirky theming, nice soundtracks, a smooth, but fun ride experience and the duelling effect is the icing on the cake - what is not to like?

    Inversions Fun Fluidité Théma

    A real Efteling classic which rides better than ever - it's smooth as silk and has comfortable trains. The layout is pretty basic and nothing special, but as vintage ride, it is great for what it is - the inversions are still good fun and the helix pulls some decent G's. Compared to other rides, theming is pretty much nonexistent, but as the first coaster of this park, this is no major flaw.

    First Drop Théma Confort Trop court Débit

    Theming is nicely done, especially the tower structure of the lift hill and the building with the preshow and station look really authentic. Unfortunately, the capacity is not the best and the outdoor queue is not that great, a roof protecting from sun or rain would be nice. The story is easy to understand and matches with the ride experience which is very short, but still good fun: the first drop packs a punch, but the rest of the layout is fine, but could have been better. Overall, it is a nice thrill coaster for the attraction lineup of Efteling.

    First Drop Lap Bar Hangtime Temps mort

    Very good hangtime filled inversions and ejector on the first drop.

    Fun Fluidité Trop court Débit

    The first drop and overbank are quite intense for a family coaster. The pacing is pretty good and theming is as well. This ride is too short and has a very low capacity. Overall, fun and smooth family ride.
