    Laterals. Other than that it's a +1

    Fluidité Ejectors Longueur

    Amazing coaster! The sustained ejector on the first two hills is simply incredible and the rest of the layout has some more great ejector and floater airtime moments. It is butter smooth as well, something I wasn't expecting from a woodie. I had no problems with the helix in the middle, you pick up speed throughout making it quite a fun element and the theming is also really good. Great job Intamin! Edit 24-10-2023: After having ridden El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure Colossos was kinda disappointing. El Toro's first drop and subsequent hills are so much better than those of Colossos and El Toro has much better pacing. Colossos is still a great ride but it just left me disappointed because El Toro is just that much better. The only things Colossos does better are the smoothness and theming.

    It's an SLC alright. Not as bad as Vampire but it still sucks. Soundtrack is great though!

    First Drop Intensité Ejectors Inconfort

    Absolutely the greatest wooden coaster the earth has ever seen. It has an incredible first drop and it only gets better from there. The first two hills give insane sustained ejector airtime and that rolling thunder hill has to be the strongest moment of ejector I've ever experienced, it really feels like you're riding a bull that's trying to throw you off its back and I love it! The twists at the end are pretty intense with some nice whip, a fantastic addition to the ride besides the airtime hills. Pacing is really good (can't say the same for Colossos at Heide Park). The only thing preventing this ride from getting a 5 star rating is that it's not smooth unfortunately. Especially the turnaround after the first two hills is quite uncomfortable as there are some painful jolts. If it were smooth, El Toro would easily climb a few spots in my ranking. Truly a world-class ride and an Intamin masterpiece.

    How is this one so rough compared to other coasters of this model? It looks, sounds and feels like it hasn't been maintained in 10 years!

    Fluidité

    Surprisingly smooth for an SBF, it's actually not terrible!

    Théma Temps mort

    Standard Zierer albeit with horrible pacing. It almost doesn't clear the second hill. Also that has to be one of the ugliest front cars ever though.

    Situation Fun Trop court

    Fun little alpine coaster with an amazing view on top of the lifthill, but quite short.

  • Chermaine S.

    Inconfort

    Quite alright, up until the brakes which earns this ride the discomfort con. Man those brakes hit hard.

    Here's your standard Wacky Worm. Boring up until that drop which violently slams you into the left side of the train.

  • Chermaine S.

    First Drop Théma

    This Wacky Worm has some nice theming and that first drop is great because there is none! Seriously, those trims on the drop are a good thing because you don't get violently slammed to the left on the turn that follows.

    Sans intérêt

    That has to be one of the most boring coasters ever made. I mean even for kids this one just isn't interesting. More like babies' first coaster.

  • Chermaine S.

    Fun Layout

    Usually I hate Wild Mouse coasters because of how painful and janky they are, but this one really wasn't bad. Probably because this one has trims taking away some speed which is a really good thing during those hairpin turns. Zamperla knows how to make Wild Mouse coasters it seems!

    Sans intérêt Layout

    One word: boring. This ride just doesn't do ANYTHING.

  • Chermaine S.

    First Drop Inconfort

    This ride is weird. The first drop is nice but everything after is just really janky. There is one very sharp turn to the right causing you to slam into the left side of the train which is by far the worst part of the ride. The rest isn't really painful so I don't dislike this ride, but I don't love it either. It's just...a weird coaster. Guess that's Pax for you.

    Airtimes Fun

    After having ridden Tonnerre 2 Zeus the day before and hating its roughness, I was really afraid of Wood Express but this one was unexpectedly quite fun. It's definitely not as rough as Tonnerre making this one much more enjoyable and it has some nice airtime moments too!

  • Chermaine S.

    Fluidité

    Just your standard Tivoli. +1. It's funny how this one doesn't brake in the station just before the second round, producing some hilarious laterals.

  • Chermaine S.

    Baffes Inconfort A raser !

    Oh my what a bad ride...the inversions feel like they're taken far too fast causing A LOT of headbanging. This ride genuinely feels like a torture device. Tear it down!

  • Chermaine S.

    Inconfort

    It's not as bad as other Zierers but this one was still not fun. The brakes are pretty hard so you get slammed into the restraint which was painful and the layout does absolutely nothing.

    Fun Longueur Vibrations

    It's a Mack Bobsled so it's not gonna be too crazy, but I enjoyed this one for its long duration and sense of speed. It felt like it was flying through those turns which was great! Plus the view on Toutatis is a nice extra. It does have a slight rattle but nothing too bad.

    Théma Bonne suprise ! Fun

    What a fun ride! There are quite a few surprises during the long layout making this one really enjoyable. Well done Gerstlauer!

  • Chermaine S.

    Théma Vibrations Déception ! Inconfort

    I love wooden coasters that have a bit of a rattle to them, however on Tonnerre 2 Zeus it is just too much. This thing runs on square wheels and it gives you a headache. Not enjoyable at all. I was hoping this ride wouldn't be that bad because of the recent retrack, but yeah this one just left me disappointed.

    Théma Intensité Layout

    With other B&M Inverts I've ridden I feel they do not really stand out from each other. OzIris I feel stands out from the rest because of its great layout. It has intense inversions, some weak floater airtime moments, a long ride and beautiful Egyptian theming. Certainly one of the best coasters in France!

  • Chermaine S.

    Chef d'oeuvre Intensité Ejectors

    This one exceeded expectations. What a phenomenal ride. The first inversion provides some amazing hangtime and the rest of the layout is filled with very strong airtime pops and whip. Pacing is incredible, elements follow each other in rapid fire succession so you don't really have time to catch your breath. Absolutely love when coasters are that relentless! And that swing launch sequence *chef's kiss*. Intamin proving once again they're the king.

  • Chermaine S.

    Inconfort A raser ! Intensité

    I've ridden quite a few terrible rides but none have made me actually want to get off halfway through because of the pain. That changed when I rode this abomination. It has waaay too many positives to be a stand-up coaster. The intensity is just so uncomfortable and painful to your legs, it felt like my legs were going to explode from all the blood rushing into them. I never, ever want to get that terrible sensation again. Really the only coaster I never want to ride again, even if it were walk-on. Tear it down!

  • Chermaine S.

    Vitesse Chef d'oeuvre Intensité

    Perfection. Not a single inch of track wasted. From start to finish, this is just an insane, insane ride! There's no moment to catch your breath. It is so much faster than the POV makes it out to be. Taiga has it all: great launches, airtime, hangtime, speed, pacing, theming, positives, whip, you name it. This is Intamin's magnum opus right here.

  • Chermaine S.

    Airtimes Fun Fluidité Débit

    Fun ride with a nice floater airtime moment and some nice theming, great for families. This one doesn't have a midcourse that slows you down to a crawl like the one in BillyBird. The capacity is bad though, I waited 40 minutes for this one.

  • Chermaine S.

    Inconfort Layout

    For the short ride it is, it's very janky and feels too fast because of it. Hope Drouwenerzand builds a new coaster in its place sometime in the future.

    First Drop Launch Intensité Fiabilité

    This ride is insane! While the initial kick on that launch isn't as strong as let's say Maxx Force, it just feels like it goes on forever and gets much more powerful and intense as it goes! Best launch I've experienced so far. The pullout into the tophat provides some nice positives. The airtime over the tophat surprised me as well. The drop is really good with some nice laterals and it really picks up speed again because of the sheer height of that drop. The ending hill gave some nice floater too. Yes the ride is shaky, but I feel that only adds to the intensity. This is absolutely a frontrow ride, the speed of that launch just makes you feel like your face is going to melt off. What an insane experience, absolutely love it!

    First Drop Fun Ejectors Harnais

    Really good ride with some great ejector airtime, whip and hangtime! The harness can be a little painful though.
