    Théma Fluidité Inconfort Lap Bar

    I don't much enjoy these family boomerang rides, the trains are pretty cramped for the taller person, and the backwards bit never agrees with me much. However Raik gets points for continuing the areas spectacular theming, and for it's interaction with Taron. Also credit to the park for installing a decent family coaster as well as their flagship thrill ride. One and done, but at least it looks great. On a quiet day, you may also get lucky and go round twice. Never seen a boomerang operate like that, so fair play to them!

    Airtimes Fun Longueur Inconfort

    I'll knock my con out of the way first, this is not a comfortable ride. The seats are very hard, and they feel extremely small, there's very little support for your back particularly if you're taller like myself. I found myself not enjoying the ride as much as I could've done because of this. However, regardless, this is a hell of a good mine train. The length is crazy, it feels like it's going on forever. A few of the drops and hills give genuine airtime, not crazy but still pretty forceful. Some of the helixes and turns are pretty snappy too, for what is the parks main family coaster. There's no doubt that layout wise, it's one of the best family coasters going. Impressive ride, I just wish it was a bit more comfortable so i would want to do rerides!

    First Drop Théma Intensité Temps mort

    This is a very good invert. Phantasialand are the masters of theming, and Black Mamba is no exception, the whole Africa section, and the ride, look great. There's a nice drumming style soundtrack, that's quite light and fun in the area, but takes a more aggressive turn when the train dispatches the station. For me, the first drop is the big highlight, it's not massive but it's pretty steep and it whips you round to the right at the back of the train. The rest of the layout after that is the usual intense B&M invert stuff, although I thought the corkscrews really punched on this, very forceful. The only down side really, is it peters out at the end, you don't swing into the brake run with a lot of speed, but it's only a minor complaint really. Very enjoyable ride

    Airtimes First Drop Ejectors

    There's nothing I can say about this ride that hasn't been said already. The presentation is on point, the first drop is perfect, the ride is LONG and doesn't let up, and it's an airtime machine.

    First Drop Confort Fluidité

    After riding Jolly Rancher Remix and experiencing the worst vest restraints in existence, I was relieved when these restraints were much more comfortable for me. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the traditional over the shoulder restraints, and I found this ride to be an overall very comfortable and smooth experience. The only other dive coaster I have to compare it to is Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa, and while this ride lacks the brakes on the second drop, as well as the splashdown, foliage, and water that accompanied Sheikra, it was still a very fun ride.

    Inversions Fun

    I greatly enjoyed this one. While there isn't too much to set it apart from other B&Ms, this ride is fun, and I love how low to the ground it is. I rode it in the front row, and the rattle is barely noticeable from that row.

    Fun Fluidité Harnais

    This isn't the best B&M invert out there, but it is surprisingly smooth, and I love the green paint on this ride. It's a little dizzying, but still a fun ride nonetheless. This is a personal issue, but I find these older B&Ms to give an uncomfortable experience while wearing glasses due to the shoulder harness. As soon as I hit a single bump, the frames of my glasses slam into the hard plastic restraints.

    First Drop Situation Chef d'oeuvre

    This was my first giga coaster, and what a ride it was. It goes incredibly fast, and I don't see how one could ride this only once per visit. It's a phenomenal ride, and the view of Lake Erie is very good as well.

    Bonne suprise ! Situation Intensité

    This ride was better than I was expecting it to be. It feels like a middle-ground between Cheetah Hunt and Velocicoaster. Very intense with snappy transitions, and the second launch is incredible. I love the rock work and the water, it really immerses you in the experience.

    Situation Fun Longueur

    This was my first wing coaster, and I thought it was decent. My hair unfortunately got caught in the vest restraint, and I think that took away from my experience somewhat. Also, the ride wasn't rough but it wasn't as smooth as I expected it to be. I would say that this is a ride you should ride front row for the full experience.
