Tous les avis

1/2 star is too high! An interesting "feature" was that this ride could be despatched without the restraints being locked - and remember quite clearly having to hold them down for a mate sat next to me!

My favourite wooden coaster at BPB still standing, it seemed to notably decline after Richard Rodriguez' bonkers record setting. In dire need of much TLC.

The Crash National. Sorry. 20 years ago this was a 4-star attraction. Maybe we're spoiled by 20-years worth of accumulated experience elsewhere but there are coasters of comparable vintage in a far better state than this (Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens for instance, or most of Kennywood).

An obscene ride when it first opened - brilliant setting, and the out-and-back elements are a lot of fun. Somewhat dislike the twister elements. Chaos might float some peoples boats but coming back battered and bruised just because the trains don't track properly isn't so much fun.

Bizarrely, of the three woodies at Holiday World I think I preferred Legend - certainly got the most re-riding out of it.

Situation Débit Inconfort

A former world number 1, on last visit it sadly resembled sitting on a jackhammer, and marred by being operated hopelessly slowly. It's smaller, older brother at Oakwood has aged much more gracefully.

Inversions Situation Vibrations

I was one of the lucky ones to ride Kumba in it's opening year, completely oblivious to it's significance at the time. Still a great ride this far down the line and Busch work very hard to look after it - allegedly it's one of the more complex B&M's to maintain. It doesn't share the same structural features as virtually all other B&M's, take a close look at the joints between track and structure. It can be a bit rattley at times but it's also not scared to apply forces, something newer rides often back away from.

Launch Harnais

OK launch, and forget the rest - does essentially nothing with all that speed. I doubt Rita will outlive any of the other Intamin Accelerators, the site it's on is one of the few locations in the towers where development is permissible above the treeline.

Inversions Fun

Not the best invert but not the worst

Lap Bar Fluidité Hangtime Trop court

The restraints are amazing - felt like I was hanging by only a seatbelt
