This is a ride that is themed and
designed brilliantly. This is the fastest coaster in Europe (at time
of writing) at 84mph and also one of the best. The ride starts with
you queuing inside a vineyard, with weird gadgets and inventions
made by the mad professor. When you get inside you see its a winged
coaster, which is where your seats are not over the track, but
sticking out to the side. There is also no floor so, you feel very
vulnerable.
Once you loaded you move into a little room, with a big screen above
you and, and a robotic monkey going around, the film starts and the
mad professor starts telling you about his new invention (which is
the ride), this goes on for several minutes until the monkey breaks
a machine, and wine goes all over the professor, then the robotic
monkey moves towards the lever near the screen, the professor
shouts "don't do it!" but the monkey does and you get launched out
of the station. One thing about the ride while your watching the
little film, is that you move back a far way from where you started
watching. This is very similar to the pull-back cars that kids have.
When outside you glide around the "vineyard" then do a corkscrew,
then go flying over a river back into the station.
When I got off to my horror, I found out you can buy a ride DVD,
which I didn't due to the 15 euro price tag. This is a must for
thrill seekers and roller coaster enthusiasts.
