Gardaland was my first amusement park where I could ride big rollercoasters and I rode all of them in September 2018. After Blue Tornado which completely traumatized me because of the roughness and pain I didn't want to ever ride a rollercoaster again and I was about to quit my "challenge" of riding all the rollercoasters in Gardaland. Shaman was my only one left after Blue Tornado but I didn't want to get on it. I still managed to to so and I am so glad for it. Because if I didn't ride it right away I would probably never fall in love with rollercoasters. It felt really calm and smooth, not as scary as the other big rides in the park. HOWEVER, the current Shaman after the retracking is not as smooth. There is a very problematic transition during the corkscrew and it really gives a neck jolt. I read about it and it's true. I definitely felt it, it wasn't to a point of injury or anything remarkably painful but it was not nice. One of my friends felt it stronger than me. The other parts of the rollercoaster are the same. It is not super scary in any way. Maybe a little too tame after the other rides. If it didn't have this technical problem it would be an amazing rollercoaster for beginners. Actually even with the jolt I think it is pretty good for someone to try something moderately scary. In my opinion, not as bad as in the reviews. Maybe I just got some luck I didn't feel the jolt so bad. Something which is also worth to mention is that the ride is still very beautiful and pleasant with the water and the inversions and the trains. It's super beautiful. It also has a brilliant soundtrack. The main song of Shaman is amazing, it progresses and changes a lot with every single part. It is definitely worth a listen. Shaman Mistic, Buffalo and the Bison and Eagle is Back are also very exciting! So the theming of the ride is actually really good. Also the station. Not that intense and somewhat still good for someone to overcome their fear. I hope they fix the inversion at some point but don't be too afraid and definitely give it a ride. It is completely alright for a ride or two, it's just probably not a ride for a marathon.

Gardaland was my first amusement park where I could ride big rollercoasters and I rode all of them in September 2018. The queue times were horrendous. Between 1-2 hours. After Blue Tornado which completely traumatized me because of the roughness and pain I didn't want to ever ride a rollercoaster again and I was about to quit my "challenge" of riding all the rollercoasters in Gardaland. Shaman was my only one left after Blue Tornado but I didn't want to get on it. Btw I had no idea which one was Shaman - I mistaked it for Sequoia adventure at first which was closed during the year of my visit. When I saw Sequoia Adventure I was so shocked and scared. If I remember correctly even though it was not open there were still empty trains moving around. The sight of them going through the saxophone inversions looked shocking and extremely unsettling. I had never seen anything weirder than that. I was so glad Shaman was the green ride and I didn't have to go on Sequoia. I managed to ride Shaman despite the bad experience with Blue Tornado and I am so glad for it. Because if I didn't ride it right away I would probably never fall in love with rollercoasters. I remember looking at Shaman and seeing the little children on it - it wouldn't be that scary. Well, after Blue Tornado Shaman was the rollercoaster that got me back on track and made me feel better. It felt really calm and smooth, not as scary as the other big rides in the park. I am glad I got on it because it was what allowed me to love rollercoasters again and not be traumatized by them forever. It also has a brilliant soundtrack which I appreciate a lot. The main song of Shaman is amazing, it progresses and changes a lot with every single part. It is definitely worth a listen. Shaman Mistic, Buffalo and the Bison and Eagle is Back are also very exciting! The theming is really good too. The waiting station. But it is not that intense at least in my opinion. So it was perfect for someone to overcome their fear. I think that I've read somewhere that Shaman is great for someone wanting to experience their first inversion. That is right. And the train makes it feel less intimidating. I am so sad that Shaman is now giving a painful jolt after the retracking.

Haven’t ridden this in about 5-6 years from writing the review, from what I recall, it was actually pretty good for a family coaster, about equal in quality to the triple-loop SBF Visa Spinning Coaster across the park for reference. (In other words, it’s pretty good, but doesn’t do much)

24/10/24: It could’ve been the cold weather, or I was just unlucky. Either way, I had heard such great things about this ride and it being the best, but also the most intense coaster of Europe. If that is indeed the case, then I’m gonna be very disappointed with some of the other coasters of Europe. To start my actual review: it is a really good coaster, just not as good as I expected it to be. If it is actually as ‘out of control’ as people claim it to be, then I went on the wrong day, because it really was not in my case. I couldn’t feel much of the spinning sensation, and pretty much all of the inversions were not that memorable. The only moments that stood out to me were the airtime moments. That doesn’t mean that I dislike the coaster, the complete experience is really nice, and I especially like the onride music. But I really miss the intensity on this ride, and I think that Anubis the Ride is actually more intense.

This ride truly blew me away. Well not that much but it was real fun! The spinning is very nice, the queue is excellent, the theming onride is a bit of a letdown but the ride experience makes up for it. I like the launches and the fact that there is 5 of them. The spike is fun and the way you do a 180 spin while going trough it is very nice and thrilling. Airtime on this ride is unexistent because the lapbar is very tight. Love this ride with my heart, but… THE CAPACITY 😭😭😭 I stood in line for an hour and a half at morning. I reccomend you do this ride at the end of the day or at lunch time since i could ride it 3 times because the line is much shorter at that tod. Bout 30 mins at max
