    Airtimes Situation Hangtime Vibrations

    I went to Plopsaland De Panne on a theme park holiday with my mate. I was looking most forward to RTH as i knew from the POVs that it would blow me away. From the moment the ride started, i was in complete shock. The first hang time reliant inversion out of the station really leaves you out your seat, especially in the front. This is then followed by a launch, which is just crazy with the added spinning and is intact, very punchy for a Mack launch. You then head up a top hat, which on the front, pushes you into the top. After a 90 degree turn with a small outerbank, you head down the top hat, with the back row getting some incredible ejector airtime. This is then followed by a banana roll, which really creates a feeling of not knowing where you are, followed by a vertical loop. After that, you head into a zero g roll which is absolutely incredible. Once you have banked round to the side into another airtime hill, you make your way into the second launch, which has an airtime hill. You then make your way into a jojo roll (or I believe that’s the name). This inversion is crazy no matter where you are sat. Once banked round, you head into 2 final ejector hills which really do pack a punch. From start to finish, this coaster has no dead spots or bad elements, and the onboard audio really adds a sense of fast pace and intensity to the ride. The theme of the ride fits the coaster type and natural surrounding area perfectly, and the theming is very immersive and modern. This coaster is my current number 1, and can guarantee that it will be hard for a coaster to overtake it. My only criticism to this coaster is that there is a slight rattle towards the end, however this does not take away from the ride experience in my opinion. Well done Plopsaland, you have got yourself a world class rollercoaster.
