I absolutely love rides that are focused on sheer height and speed and Hyperion did not disappoint. The forces this coaster provides are truly world-class: some amazing sustained ejector airtime during the first hill, some very snappy transitions that provide amazing laterals, and some grey-out inducing positives as well. Yes there is that one hill in the middle that does absolutely nothing, but the rest of the ride more than makes up for it. People complain about a rattle, but it wasn't anything that bothered me. Truly an Intamin work of art here.

I didn't like this ride. First of all, capacity sucks because only 1 adult can sit in a car. The seating position feels pretty uncomfortable, which makes the slight rattle this ride has much more noticeable. The layout sucks, there are no interesting elements at all and the midcourse kills all your speed. Overall, I expected this ride to be a bit more fun.

Just your standard Vekoma Boomerang here. The train is pretty comfy, there is no headbanging like there is on Cobra at Walibi Belgium for example. The location is really unique. This coaster sits on top of a roof, the view of the city of Denpasar is absolutely beautiful. Theming is nonexistent though and capacity sucks because of slow operations.

Pure ejector airtime machine. That first drop is insane, offering a combination of laterals and ejector. And that's only the beginning, all hills on Expedition GeForce offer incredible ejector airtime...

Pure ejector airtime machine. That first drop is insane, offering a combination of laterals and ejector. And that's only the beginning, all hills on Expedition GeForce offer incredible ejector airtime. This is mixed with some strong positives in the valleys, even giving me a little hint of a grey-out. Not as strong as on Goliath at Walibi Holland for example, but I still like the variety of airtime mixed with positives. The middle part just gives you that sense of speed, zooming through the forest (yes this rides location is beautiful as well). There is a noticeable rattle but it didn't bother me at all. Theming is nonexistent though, the station has to be one of the ugliest I've ever seen. Overall an incredible ride that should be on every coaster enthusiasts bucket list. However, people saying this is the best steel coaster on earth really need to rethink their life decisions. Maybe it was when it first opened, but nowadays there are just better rides out there.

I could write a 10-page essay on why Gold Rush is my number 1 favorite coaster. The layout I think is perfect. People complain about this ride being short, but with the small plot of land, I don't think Gerstlauer could have done a better job. Gold Rush provides an excellent variety of forces. Strong laterals, incredible ejector airtime going over the tophat, positives, and the best hangtime moment I've ever experienced. Launches are really good. Gold Rush is not too intense, but not too tame either, which makes for a very reridable coaster. The front and backrows also provide very different forces, so definitely try out both of them. My only complaint would be the noticeable rattle when you're on backrow coming out of the dive loop, which is annoying. Next to the (almost) perfect ride experience, Gold Rush holds a very special place in my heart. This ride changed my life and started my career as a coaster enthusiast, for which I will always be grateful. Thank you Slagharen and Gerstlauer for creating this masterpiece of a ride!

F.L.Y. is not just a coaster. It is an experience. A perfect experience, that is. Theming is out of this world. I can't imagine any other coaster in the world that has better theming than F.L.Y. Flying through Rookburgh is such a breathtaking and beautiful experience, it really makes you forget all your problems for a while. The forces this ride provides aren't too shabby either. The best moment probably being right after the second launch. If you're on frontrow, you get a good pop of airtime. Yes, airtime on a flying coaster! Overall a true masterpiece, Vekoma and Phantasialand have really outdone themselves here.

One thing I do not like about this coaster is that it's not very consistent. Some rides are good at best, but other rides are true world-class. If you do get a world-class ride, this ride is easily of...

One thing I do not like about this coaster is that it's not very consistent. Some rides are good at best, but other rides are true world-class. If you do get a world-class ride, this ride is easily of the best coasters I've experienced. It has a perfect mix of forces: great hangtime, very strong ejector airtime and strong positives, with no focus on any one particular force. Launches are great as well. Probably my favorite part of this ride is the double-inverting dive loop. That element is already disorienting on its own, but add spinning to it and you really don't know which way is up or down anymore. And as if this coaster wasn't great enough already, it has an amazing onboard soundtrack as well!

This is a prime example of: don't judge a ride by its POV. The first time I rode Taron I was absolutely blown away by how good this ride is. Theming is excellent (as expected from Phantasialand), prov...

This is a prime example of: don't judge a ride by its POV. The first time I rode Taron I was absolutely blown away by how good this ride is. Theming is excellent (as expected from Phantasialand), providing lots of near misses throughout the layout. The ride itself is a great mix of airtime, positives and incredibly snappy transitions. And the sound of that second launch is such ear candy!

The King of Intamin Mega Coasters. Everything from the first drop to the final brakerun is pure insanity. The first half is filled with very strong sustained ejector airtime, while the second half is more focused on quick ejector pops. There are also pretty strong laterals and positives scattered throughout the layout. My only issue with this ride is that it has a heavy focus on airtime, while I prefer more variety in a coaster, but that's just personal preference. Kondaa is still an incredible coaster that I absolutely love riding.

I was really afraid Blue Fire would disappoint me because I overhyped myself, this ride just looked like so much fun. Then I finally got on it, and did it disappoint? Oh no, no it did not. Blue Fire even exceeded my expectations. Everyone says that Blue Fire is forceless and yes, this ride is definitely not the most forceful coaster in the world, but every single element is just so much fun! Some of them do pull some pretty nice forces, such as the overbank after the looping which provides some great laterals. And that last inversion. My god, that's easily one of my favorite inversions ever. Blue Fire tries to toss you out of the train and I love it. Overall a really fun, reridable coaster with a lot of variety in its layout, which I can really appreciate in a coaster.

Goliath was one of my first big coasters and helped me get over my fear of heights, so for that I'll always have a soft spot for it. The ride itself really doesn't mess around either, offering some amazing airtime, positives and sense of speed. The location right next to the parking lot and over the water is beautiful as well. Still my favorite coaster in Walibi Holland, sorry Untamed. The new Speed Zone theming sucks though, what on earth have they done to the station?

Fenix has to be one the best themed coasters in The Netherlands, if not the best in my opinion. The queue is gorgeous and IMAscore did an amazing job with the soundtrack. Train design is also beautiful. The ride itself is amazing: Fenix is very smooth, offers some nice sustained floater airtime and that helix pulls some powerful positives, often giving me a grey-out. The zero-G roll gives some nice laterals. I really can't get enough of this ride, always love riding it a few times during my Toverland visits.

Holy shit, this ride is insane! Wasn't impressed after my first ride on it (which was towards the front of the train in the morning), but towards the evening I got a second ride which was on backrow. And oh my god, it was HAULING. Wodans pacing is perfect, the train doesn't lose any speed throughout the layout. And this ride feels fast. Very fast. The quick transitions caught me off-guard and it felt like I was thrown around like a ragdoll, I love it when coasters try to throw me out of the train. The ride is also butter smooth, most woodies have a bit of a rattle to them but Wodan does not. This is currently my favorite wooden coaster, GCI did an amazing job with this one!

Troy is a relentless ride from start to finish. Just pure action. There are some fast transitions throughout the layout which make it quite the intense ride. There are some spots where the train loses a little speed (I think Wodans pacing is better), but overall Troy is an incredible woodie that always delivers a great ride.

Vekoma delivered again with this next-gen. I see people complain about a rattle but I did not notice anything, this ride felt butter smooth to me. Hals-über-Kopf feels like a less intense version of Lech Coaster to me: this ride offers some very strong positives which make it quite an intense ride. The inversions are great and there are some hills throughout the ride which give weak floater airtime as well. This is a huge step up from B&M inverts and Hals-über-Kopf proves that Vekoma can make great suspended coasters. Please, to all parks owning an SLC, tear them down and buy an STC instead. This ride is pure gold.

This ride is insane. By far the most intense coaster I've ridden. That first drop gives amazing ejector combined with amazing laterals. But then comes the best moment on Lech Coaster: all the way from the pullout of the first drop to the first airtime hill, this ride offers very, VERY strong positives. So strong and so sustained in fact that I came close to blacking out. Luckily the airtime hill comes just in time to prevent me from blacking out. I love getting a grey-out on a coaster and Lech Coaster does this perfectly, 'rescuing' you just in time before it gets too much. Another strong sustained ejector hill follows and then comes the corkscrew through the station, which gives some great views. After this point however, Lech Coaster kinda dies off for me. The rest of the layout doesn't have a lot of variety, just a few twists and turns with the occasional airtime hill thrown in. These airtime hills aren't as good as in the first half, they're less sustained while I prefer some more sustained airtime. There are some great positives here as well, giving me slight grey-outs, but they're just not as intense as the first half. The first half before the station fly-through is absolute perfection, but the second half just left me a little disappointed and I wish this half was more like the first. Lech Coaster is a great ride but I definitely don't think it's the world-class coaster a lot of people seem to give it credit for.

Pure nostalgia this one. Looping Star was my first rollercoaster with an inversion and so helped me get over my fear of inverting coasters. Can't remember much about the ride experience but I know for sure I loved this one. Rest in peace Looping Star, hope I get to ride you at Cyprus some time.

Untamed is a relentless airtime machine: airtime moment after airtime moment after airtime moment. With the occasional inversion thrown in. Untamed has some amazing inversions: the 270 degree double inverting corner stall gives some great views and offers amazing laterals as well exiting this element. The uphill barrel roll at the end is one of my favorite inversions of all time: it is very stretched out, giving some amazing hangtime and the heartline is perfectly shaped as well: if you focus in front of you, you can see the world turn around you and it looks amazing. But, I'm really not the biggest fan of Untamed. All those airtime moments are pretty painful because of the stupid shin guards. And airtime is what Untamed is good at: it is focused so much on airtime that it doesn't have a lot of variety in its elements. I love variety in a coaster and Untamed just doesn't offer me enough of that. Don't get me wrong, I still think Untamed is an amazing coaster and I love riding it every time I visit Walibi Holland, but it's just not my cup of tea as I prefer rides that are less painful and offer more variety in their elements.

Great Gerstlauer Infinity with some amazing elements. The pre-launch section is a really nice surprise with some great hangtime. The launch itself is pretty forceful and the tophat has some nice laterals. There are some dead spots though, especially in the middle where the ride doesn't do a whole lot. The final two inversions are great, I especially love the dive loop. Because that one is so small it gives some great laterals as well. I prefer Karacho over Fury for its better layout and forces, but Gold Rush is still my favorite Infinity Coaster.

Let's get the bad out of the way first. Tf are those launches? They are easily the worst launches I've ever experienced on a coaster. Heck, right before the third launch I could feel the train actually slowing down a bit instead of accelerating. Anyway, the layout compensates for the bad launches. The vertical spike after the second launch produces some nice laterals if you're on backrow. The tophat doesn't do much on frontrow, but on the backrow gives some great airtime. Then comes the best element on Star Trek in my opinion: the Immelmann-heartline roll combination. No matter where you sit in the train, this element is taken slowly enough that it gives some great hangtime combined with laterals. Throughout the element the train picks up speed again which produces some stronger laterals and it really is one of my favorite inversions on a coaster ever! The zero-G roll at the end is a great way to end this ride as it gives some great hangtime as well. Overall a very solid, fun coaster, if only those launches were better.

Joris en de Draak is by far my favorite coaster at the Efteling. Theming is top-notch and the layout is great. The dueling aspect really makes this ride a lot of fun as well. The reason I prefer Water over Vuur is because of the element right after the turn close to Python: while Vuur has a simple double down, Water has a double down with some banking, this produces extra laterals. Especially on a nightride, when you can't see where you're going, this element felt pretty intense as it really tried to throw me out of the train.

Joris en de Draak is by far my favorite coaster at the Efteling. The theming is top-notch and the layout is great. The dueling aspect really makes this ride a lot of fun as well. The reason I prefer Water over Vuur is because Vuur has a simple double down after the turn close to Python, while Water has the better element here, which I elaborate on in my Water review.

Abyssus is best described as a better version of Formula: everything Formula does, Abyssus does better. The first launch kept taking me by surprise every time I rode it. It's not the best launch ever or anything, but it kicks in pretty unexpectedly and has a nice kick to it. The first half before the second launch feels very playful: not too intense but there are some pretty good airtime moments. The second launch is the best on the frontrow, it feels just a little faster there. But can that trim on the tophat please be removed? That trim very noticeably slows down the train and just feels like it kills all your momentum after you've just been launched up the tophat. Right after the looping comes the best airtime moment on Abyssus though: the hill just before the batwing gives some strong ejector which is a great moment. The batwing itself is fun, but after that Abyssus kinda dies off. The corkscrew is fine, but the rest of the layout feels kinda pointless with some random turns and just feels too long. I found myself thinking: 'it's still not over yet?' Overall, Abyssus is a really fun ride (up until the corkscrew that is) and still a solid number 3 coaster at Energylandia.

Fury is a pretty solid coaster. It has three great launces and pulls some pretty strong positives during the loop. Airtime and hangtime are present as well, but they are not very strong unfortunately. I prefer riding Fury backwards, especially the tophat is great backwards! The layout isn't the best though. It really feels like a bunch of random turns and inversions thrown together, not very thought out. Especially compared to Karacho and Gold Rush, Fury just falls short in my opinion.
