    First Drop Fun Intensité Vibrations Trop court Débit

    This coaster is great and unique, no questions there, but people tend to overcompliment it (it is like they are blinded by its theme gimmicks). To be fair, there is plenty to criticize as well. The backstory of the coaster is cool but a bit too complicated. After standing in line, you would probably only understand bits of it and not the full picture. Especially if you do not know German (That accent sequence is in German only). The accent sequence is long and you have to hang in a psychologically uncomfortable vertical position. It is scary for the first time, kind of cool for the second, but after that, it is mostly irritating. The seat assignment gimmick is cool only for the first time. Then you just resent that you can not select the seat. The first drop is so much more awesome when you are in the front row, but you might not have a chance to experience it at all during your visit. You can not stop thinking about how all these elements ruin the ride capacity, which is not great. The second forceful half of the layout is a bit controversial. I would say it is too forceful, to the point of being disorientating. It is like a boxer giving you two punches. I wish it used its speed for something longer and more enjoyable. But the designers probably did not have the space for it. The final inversion is so slow, that it is mostly pointless. It is just another "surprise" element. But I also think people do not give Karnan enough credit for its first half which is just fantastic and very original. It does not feel like a typical hypercoaster at all. And this is a good thing.
