    Airtimes Intensité Fluidité

    This is a truly incredible ride. It is intense yet smooth, has great airtime (especially in the back of the train), and is thoroughly enjoyable anywhere in the train. I personally recommend the back due to the awesome ejector airtime when getting launched backwards over the airtime hill. I also really like the vertical rollback element. After I rode it a few times and got used to hanging there, I realized what a unique perspective it gives staring straight down at the tops of peoples' heads from that angle. Some people complained about the low speed going over the top hat, but I think it gives a nice bit of suspense regarding whether the train will roll back or get stuck up there. The zero-g stall is fun too. It was my first 0g inversion and hanging there upside-down is definitely a unique experience.

    Théma Intensité

    This was my first roller coaster with inversions and, in hindsight, the roller coaster that made me realize I was an enthusiast. The darkness definitely adds to the intensity, but it is quite a bit smoother than the other dark roller coaster at Disney World (Space Mountain), making it much more pleasant to ride overall. It is also a great example of how Vekoma has always been capable of building great roller coasters, they just had difficulty designing them well themselves in the past without Disney's involvement.

    Théma Fluidité Temps mort

    This is an impeccably smooth, quiet roller coaster to the point where it is almost boring at times. The wait times were also rather excessive when I was there due to it being new at that point. As far as mine trains go, I think Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a better choice.

    Théma Baffes

    I do enjoy riding this, but the combination of the classic Arrow jerkiness with the darkness and resultant inability to anticipate what is coming and brace for it can make this a punishing ride. Technically it isn't headbanging since this is a non-inverting coaster with T-bar restraints, but you get the point…

    Airtimes Théma Fun Temps mort

    I haven't ridden many mine train coasters, but this one really sets the standard. Despite not being excessively fast, it is really fun and has some good airtime too. The last bit after the third chain lift seems rather pointless though.

    Théma Fluidité Layout

    This was my first "big" roller coaster. I rode it so long ago that I can't really compare it to anything I have ridden more recently, but the theming was impeccable and the suspended design really played into the experience, with the train swinging out of the way of collisions at what seemed like the last possible moment. I am very sad this one is gone and it will always be special to me.
