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!

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!".

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!

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...

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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...

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!

One of the best Alpine Coasters I've been on so far, without a slow rider in front of you, it can be quite intense and great fun. Unfortunately, lines are typically very long (we waited around 45-60 minutes for it, later there was a 90 minutes wait...)

A fun water coaster which is more like a log flume than a coaster. You can get decently wet (compared to other German water rides), theming was available in rudimentary form which was unfortunately not completed at my visit in May 2018! I hope this will be the case in the future, because this will be a good upgrade for this ride!

This ride has an unusual and interesting layout which is also quite long, but it ran four trains, so lines moved pretty fast. But unfortunately, the spooky theming doesn't fit to this type of coaster and it some really nasty vibrations which even led us to a headache...

Definetely not a star attraction, but it was still okay considering its age. Yes, there was a rattle, but not as much as I expected and headbanging was not a big problem. The straight piece of track between the drop and the loops is quite strange and the rest of the layout is not really creative, but this coaster looks really nice at its location at the lake. The biggest con are the ugly and uncomfortably narrow trains...

Due to the corona virus, the dispatch time was atrociously slow, between two rides were about seven or eight minutes. Despite this, the ride was okay for a family coaster, but theming was not as good as in Europa Park's Alpenexpress...

First of all, the queue is EXTREMELY long, but with nice theming and even some funhouse-style elements. The first drop is quite intense in the back row, with a very forceful airtime moment which you won't expect on such a small coaster. Unfortunately, the cars are extremely cramped, so my knee smashed against the handrailing during the airtime. The rest of the layout is a little rattly and nothing too spectacular...

The layout is not super creative, but it doesn't have to be so, because this ride should be seen as an oldtimer (even with new trains which make this ride much better than with OSTR's). Besides that, the landscape around looks really nice.

One of the best alpine coasters ever: if you don't have a slow person in front of you, this ride can be very intense - especially those airtime hops throw you out of your seat and the lateral forces can also get quite high. Unfortunately, lines are typically very long, but in most cases, this ride is worth waiting for! I really enjoyed my ride on Trapper Slider and will definetely ride it again when I come to Fort Fun!
