World is home to a couple of coasters I feel are underrated. There's Robin
Hood, a great family woodie, and there's also this. I think part of this is
it's a similar ride to Expedition G-Force at Holiday Park, a very highly
rated ride, not located far from this one in Germany. Here I find my views
go against the trend set by most enthusiasts, as I think this is the
superior ride.
I think what
I prefer is the fact the layout here has more variety on offer. It starts
off with a generous 150 foot drop, before setting out over a number of
hills, all of which provide some nice air time as you go over them. This is
a similar concept to Expedition G-Force, but this ride has some other
elements as well.
My
favourite part of this ride, and a personal favourite part of any roller
coaster, is the extreme banked turn on the top of the second hill. This sees
you tipped at a 90 degree angle to the right. When this happens so suddenly
when your very high up in
the air it really is a thrilling experience. This part is then followed up
by a nice helix section, before returning to a number of air time hills that
take you back to the station.
This is a
ride that is well worth seeking out, it's one you can easily do multiple
goes off, and not get tired of it. |
