Théma Bonne suprise ! Launch

While I waited over 2 hours and only got 1 ride, even my row 3 motorbike ride was enough to show me how fun this ride was. The theming is detailed, the ride is dynamic, and the launches packed a suprising punch. All around great.

This was essentially a glorified wild mouse, but with its own layout and character than most. In most parks, this would be an afterthought, but in a small park with only 3 coasters, this is essentially a highlight of the park. However, compared to the truly epic, world-class woodie, The Ozark Wildcat being a walk-on, there was no reason to ride this more than once. It delivered typical herky-jerky type ride with rather intense drops and turns. It delivered almost exactly what I expected from it.

Airtimes First Drop Harnais Théma Intensité

Great Drop, great airtime, relativley smooth. I had lots of room, so I was fully able to appreciate this coaster's wonderful airtime and speed. However, similar to Shambhala, this ride really has nothing else interesting about the layout outside of it's great airtime.

Airtimes Fluidité Théma Intensité

Shambhala really does one thing very well, and that's it. If you want anything from this layout other than airtime you're riding the wrong ride, outside of airtime, there's really nothing else. However, if you're a fan of airtime, this ride has it in spades - wonderful floater in super sustained amounts, nothing more you could want from a ride like this.

This was one intense little coaster. It felt more "full" size than it was. It had the quick jerky transitions we are all familiar with on compact coasters like this, but they weren't quite as bad as most. It delivered forces more like a full sized coaster with an actual train instead of just a car. By far the most intense element was the final diving turn, I'm not sure what the actual term for this element is, but it is almost a dive loop without truly counting as an inversion as you never break 90 degrees. It was a very small radius turn that dropped substantially. It jarred you pretty good during this. I wouldn't say this was brutal or a anywhere near a torture device, as I believe we rode it several times during out Branson weekend. That said it was not a fluffy smooth ride by any means. Plus, with the world class gem of Ozark Wildcat 50 yards away being a walk-on all weekend, there was no reason to ride this more. It was more than a good a additional to this wonderful little park.

Kumba is a true classic - the first half of the layout is immaculate, intense greyout valley after intense greyout valley, the whip on the cobra roll and Zero G Roll, the positives on the dive loop and loop are perfect. Outside of the slight rattle, the ride's first half really is incredible. The corkscrews are a bit lackluster however, being too fast for hangtime, but too slow for whip, and despite the rather intense ending helix, the second half really lacks enough speed to cement it as a truly elite coaster - but it's still incredible.

First Drop Bonne suprise ! Fun Harnais Temps mort Layout

The First Drop is a great rush, And this is a nice fun coaster and was a surprise since it didn't really look like all that. But the harness wasn't great, the Dead Spots were pretty rampant as it crawls in many places and the layout could be a lot better.

Inversions Bonne suprise ! Intensité

Shaman really surprised me. I thought it’d be a rough, janky looper, but it turned out suprisingly smooth with some great elements. I did only ride once in the front, so that may be what caused me to experience it this way. It’s really well paced, and the two vertical loops have some sustained positives. The corkscrews are good too, even though there’s a few janky moments during the ride. I’d say give Shaman a shot and you might come off pleasantly surprised.

First Drop Inversions Harnais

In my opinion, Raptor is the second best ride at Gardaland, overshadowed barely by Oblivion. It’s got a great first drop with surprisingly good airtime, and the inversions are all well-done, especially that final inline twist with great hangtime and headchoppers. However, the vest restraints are very restrictive, pushing down on your chest further and further down as the ride continues. Overall, Raptor isn’t amazing, but it’s a really fun and solid ride.

First Drop Fun Trop court

Oblivion is the park’s headlining ride and it does its job pretty well. The drop is fantastic as always, and the rest of the layout gives an enjoyable experience, particularly that final roll. However, like most other rides of the same model, it’s short and leaves something to be desired.
