I love the Gerstlauer Bobsleds, which are an big advancement on the well-known 'wild mouse' coasters. This one looks very well themed from the outside, unfortunately during the ride you get a look behind the scenes. Capacity is a problem with this one, always long waiting lines here.

A smaller GCI wooden coaster, relatively smooth with some great airtime and out-of-control elements. Of course it is not as intense as it's greater cousins (e.g. Troy or Wodan) but it is very re-rideable.

Germany has only one Vekoma Boomerang, and this is the one! It has some thrills four younger, more robust people, but I simply dislike the jerky cobra roll, the headbanging and the backwards part. The old restraints are awful.

A coaster of the Russian company PAX - and a very rare one too. A shuttle coaster with nice hangtime at the lift and when it reverses direction. The restraints could be a little bit more comfortable though.

Roadrunner Express is one of the best Arrow Mine Train coasters. With its terrain interaction and smooth, fast paced layout, it stands out as an example of what Arrow could have been if it didn't go under.

Iron Rattler is a masterpiece. If any coaster needed the RMC treatment, it was this one. An amazing concept executed very poorly by a bad manufacturer. RMC swooped in and turned this coaster into the masterpiece it was meant to me. The trains are the most open of any RMC, with great lap bars and open trains, allowing you to wave your hands however you please. It has the best first drop I've ever experienced on a coaster, twisting left and right down the quarry wall into the gulch, steep all the way down. There are four ejector hills, and a huge last drop off of the quarry wall into a tunnel, giving sustained ejector airtime all the way down. There are also four overbanked turns, all twisty and sharp, one if which drops down the wall of a curved overbanked drop. The barrel roll is perfect with its whip and its hangtime, and it's at the heart of the coaster, pulling the ride together to perfection. The coaster is unfortunately a bit shorter than I'd like, but it is oh so sweet and perfect otherwise.

Poltergeist is a fast paced, forceful, whippy launched coaster from beginning to end. The first three inversions in quick succession give huge positive Gs right out of the fast launch. The rest of the ride is a spaghetti bowl of fast transitions and turns as you accelerate faster and faster as you go farther down the bowl, ending in a corkscrew finale. Unfortunately it's all over concrete without scenery, but at least the queue is themed!
