Théma Fun
The best coaster of the park: Station and darkride part are nicely themed, there is even an onboard soundtrack and the coaster part with light effects and lasers is simply great fun. The only disadvantage is the queue which is quite narrow, with only little theming and can be quite stifling on hot days. But altogether, it's a great ride and worth a longer wait!

Théma Situation Longueur Temps mort Intensité
Theming is well done, there is even some nice dispatch music and this a quite long ride located near the lake. The layout looks good on paper, but it doesn't do anything for me: the banked airtime hills are taken too slow to produce those RMC effects, so these elements feel a bit awkward. Overall, the coaster is quite tame, even for a family ride (I considered Huracan as more intense), the weak uphill "launch" is pointless and the spike is nothing more than an optically nice gimmick - the backwards part is just too short to come into effect properly. For such a new ride, the coaster has some jolty moments, but all in all, nothing too dramatic.

Intensité Harnais Inconfort
Station looks pretty from the outside, but the inside is not nice at all and the queue is just an ugly zig zag path. The ride itself is nothing special - we expected to be beaten up, but the roughness was bearable and there wasn't any headbanging. Those cars are still very cramped and uncomfortable though.
-
Situation Théma
The setting at the lake is pretty nice, but the brightly colored trains look outdated and the white track could get some cleaning. It might be a pretty large junior coaster, but it's not really more intense than others - for children and families it is fine.

Fluidité Layout Déception ! Temps mort
First of all, this might be one of the smoothest Maurer coasters out there, and the unusual layout looks interesting on paper. Sadly, this ride is a quite forceless and because of the breakruns there is not much spinning at all...

I expected some headbanging, but this thing ran surprisingly smooth (even in the last row!) It might be a bit tame and forceless, but I consider it as a good ride for families and beginners.

A great family wooden coaster! There are even some airtime moments and pacing is pretty good for a coaster of this size. Additionally, the traditional Swiss village looks pretty neat.

Théma Débit Layout
Make shure to ride this coaster at the beginning of your day at Plopsaland, lines typically get pretty long due to a second lap. At least, there is a lot of theming, but I liked it better before the transformation with the girlgroup K3...

A little rough for a ride of this kind - and theming could use some improvement. At least you can get decently wet...

Bonne suprise ! Launch Layout Inconfort
This one was a pleasant surprise to us: First of all, the launch packs a great punch and the top hat provided a nice pop of airtime. But the rest of the compact layout was also interesting with many cool elements - when warmed up, this coaster has a great pacing. The cars might be a little cramped, especially for the arms and the smoothness depends on the car or seat, I had four rides on this coaster ranging from "glossy smooth" to "a bit bumpy" - but all together, nothing too dramatic. Due to the younger target audience of Plopsaland, lines for Anubis are usually not very long, despite the low capacity!

Airtimes Chef d'oeuvre Layout
Wow, what a beast of a ride - this is nothing less than my new number one coaster! Its creative layout has no dead spots and so many great elements: First of all, the Jojo Roll provides excellent hangtime which feels great in combination with spinning cars and comfortable lap bars. After the launch with a boost of spinning, the top hat has a very strong airtime moment (especially in the first car), just to be dragged downwards afterwards. The banana roll is also quite nice just as the classic looping, which almost feels surreal when taken sidewards. The airtime hill in the second launch is also a fun gimmick, but the "Reverse Twice Twisting Velocity Knot" is my favorite element of the coaster - this double inversion with spinning cars is just insane and feels like an out of control flatride. After some hills and curves there is the ride's furious finale - the double up has two really strong airtime moments before slamming into the brake run. I love the ride's overall intensity without being uncomfortable at any point, thanks to the lap bars and comfortable seats. At some points, there was a minor rattle, but nothing to write home about. Theming is done pretty well, especially the queue and entrance gate is pretty nice - and the coaster cars look fantastic. Musically, this coaster goes all out - while the music in the queue is rather low key but still nice, the onboard soundtrack is absolutely stunning and fits perfectly to this ride. Operators are trying their best to keep waiting times short, but this coaster model seems to have a little longer dispatch time than others. To sum things up, I can recommend this unusual experience to everybody and hope there will be more Mack products of this kind in the future!

This ride is more fun than it might look like - brace yourselves ;)

Airtimes Vitesse Chef d'oeuvre Théma Débit
This ride is superb, providing plenty of great airtime! Especially the two first hills are awesome: the first one feels very long and sustained while the second one is more a short pop of very intense ejector airtime. The layout with many turns through the woods is quite long, the EGF-Flip is also a nice gimmick which flings you to the left and pacing is great. Considering its age, this ride also runs pretty smooth. I also like the seating which feels quite open and free with only the relatively small lap bar. Unfortunately, theming is poor and by using only one train, the capacity is dreadful. But aside from that, Expedition GeForce is awesome and still after many rides, it doesn't get boring at all!

Vibrations Débit Inconfort
Due to the VR option (which is not often choosed by the visitors), dispatch times are still VERY slow - you should ride this coaster while there is one of the park's shows to avoid long waiting times! Additionally, this Zierer Force Two has quite a strong rattle for its size, the coaster itself makes strange noises in the station while operating and you can clearly see its age - all in all a typical case of "One and done!".

Fun Fluidité
Restraints are inexistent at this ride, which makes this ride more fun and thrilling. Additionally, this classic looks pretty neat considering its age and also runs pretty smooth.

Situation Layout Intensité
Unfortunately, this alpine coaster has a breaking rail which slows your ride down even with full throttle - which is a shame because the layout is nice and would be more fun if taken with a higher pace...

Théma Fluidité Longueur
This ride was just...WOW! First of all, the area Rookburgh looks absolutely amazing, there are many details you can spot after multiple times and also the sound design is pretty cool. After passing the queue line, you reach the impressive station and board the vehicles. The riding postition might feel quite unusual, but after I got used to it, it was pretty cool and albeit the launches are not really intense, the very long and twisted layout has some nice forces and doesn't get boring at all - a real highlight is the second uphill launch and the following airtime moment which feels awesome on a flying coaster! I highly recommend this unique flying experience to everybody!

Théma Débit Sans intérêt
Thanks to the station which has some kind of elevator thingies moving extremely slow, the capacity is absolutely dreadful. These circumstances are rather unfavourable for a kiddie ride, because the target group is not the most patient one in the world (waiting 20 Minutes in the cold with a lot of crying and complaining kiddies was quite annoying). The ride itself feels rather pointless because there is basically nothing happening, except of passing the quite nice theming. I have to say, this low capacity ride could fit in many small parks, but Europa Park is the wrong place for it...

Théma Confort Layout Intensité
While seeing this ride as a dark ride, my review would be better than reviewing it as a coaster because the theming is really nice (especially the changes between indoor- and outdoor sections) and the ride feels quite dynamic with the rotations and different speeds. But for a coaster, it is rather slow and nothing really spectacular. I should see it as a compromiss between those two ride types. The capacity itself is not bad and the dispatch time is pretty fast, but lines are still typically quite long, probably due to the broad target group of riders.

Théma Fun Fluidité Débit
Overall I like this ride: it's a pretty good coaster for families and children and the ride through the cave with the interaction with the flume ride is a nice feature. But with the VR Upgrade, the lines are often longer than before. The ride with VR is okay, but nothing too spectacular.

Théma Vitesse Intensité Débit
My favourite ride at Europa Park: it's the most intense coaster at this park (especially in the evening, the night rides here are nuts!) keeping it's speed very well throughout the whole layout and the area and queue is very nicely themed. Also the ride itself with its logo integrated into the lifthill looks fantastic. The station fly-through is a cool feature - but it's VERY loud! The only con is the capacity, lines are typically quite long compared to other coasters at Europa Park, but it's definiteley worth a longer wait!

Lap Bar Inversions Vitesse
Wow, what a great coaster: the seats combined with comfy lap bars provide great freedom while riding, the layout is surprisingly intense with nice G-forces and the three inversions are all great fun, especially the zero-G-roll over "Volldampf's" station is amazing. Additionally, there is some great airtime on several spots of the layout which is not often found on inverts, and pacing is also great from start to finish! I don't know why some people complain about this coaster for being rough, the vibrations I felt were just slightly! Optically, this coaster is beautiful, especially the overbanked turn over the entrance looks absolutely gorgeous and the interaction with Volldampf is also a really cool feature. Those two coasters as a whole is an outstanding addition to the portfolio of Tripsdrills attractions - my home park and Vekoma did a fantastic job here!

Théma Inversions Launch Airtimes Temps mort
This coaster fits very well with the landscape of Tripsdrill and the ride is also great fun: Starting with a funny surprise in the dark, the following launch is quite forceful. The top hat provides a little airtime at the top, the inversions combined with comfy lap bars provide excellent hangtime and the intense finale with a dive loop into the dark hole is the best part of the ride. After the middle brake run, it might get a little slow and the hill doesn't provide much airtime, but warmed up in the evening (and especially during night openings!), this part is better and faster than in the morning! All in all, this great coaster is definetely worth riding!

Situation Vitesse Longueur Débit
Those monorail alpine coasters are way more intense than the normal ones from Wiegand: especially this one is very steep, so you can accelerate very quickly and due to weird banking, the turns are a bit abruptly. Additionally, the length of this ride is quite impressing and the view from the mountain top is just stunning!

One of the better Alpine coasters out there, pacing was pretty impressive and within a beautiful location, it was great fun!

Fun Longueur Débit
A quite long and fun bobkart ride, but consider long lines and if there is any slightest amount of rainfall, the speed of the vehicles will be slowed down drastically which is extremely annoying!
-
Théma Situation Fun Débit
I like Bobkart rides, this might be the most themed one I've been on so far and the layout is also quite nice with a change between indoor and outdoor sections. Unfortunately, capacity is quite low, so I recommend to ride this attraction right after park opening, otherwise there will be quite long lines!

Théma Fluidité Trop court Déception ! Intensité
I didn't expect much from this ride, but I was still disappointed: It felt quite tame and forceless, and even the drop was not really intense. The only good things about Krake are the great smoothness and the theming, which is quite nice compared to other rides at Heide Park - especually the kraken which "swallows" you and the following splashdown look pretty cool! To sum things up, I can say this would be the worst B&M I've been on so far...

Théma Bonne suprise ! Fun
All together, this is one of my favourite family coasters: The ride is comfortable, but not boring at all and considering the minimum height, it has decent forces. The spinning makes the ride more fun and the "natural" theming is really nice, but my personal highlight is the wonderful onboard music, which fits perfectly to the ride and is loud enough to be heard while riding (unless there is not too much screaming ;-)). It's a great ride for all ages, the potential of it has been fully utilised!
