Norway - ThunderCoaster (Tusenfryd)
Just out of interest, what did you see in Thundercoaster that I didn't? I know you visited pre-Storm, but even then I have Thundercoaster down as by far my least favourite thrill coaster in the park (and it's not even close) due to its monstrous roughness that makes the ride unbearably rattly the moment it starts speeding up through the day. Admittedly the layout is great with some really good moments of airtime and the fantastic second drop into the tunnel, but the roughness is positively horrible for me.

As someone that THOROUGHLY enjoys Mine Blower I don't think it's that rough.

Roughness with lapbars, no matter how horrid the trains are (Timberliners 🤢) isn't that much of a factor in ride enjoyment to me. In fact, I quite enjoy the bite.

It's when that roughness is accompanied with head bashing where it becomes an issue for me.

Belgium - Kondaa
France - Toutatis
Italy - Ortobrucco Tour
Netherlands - Untamed
USA (Florida) - Mine Blower

One of these things is not like the others... Haha needless to say I visited Italy before I started riding coasters, so sadly the only cred I have from the country is Ortobrucco Tour, given the only other coasters open at Gardaland at the time were Blue Tornado, Magic Mountain and Sequoia Adventure perhaps Ortobrucco Tour might've still been no 1 even having ridden them all.

Also before anyone asks, Mine Blower was in 2018 and I didn't find it even remotely rough. I assume it deteriorated quite significantly after then given the reports i'm now hearing.

But yeah Kondaa > Ride to Happiness.

Fair, though I do feel that Magic Mountain was pretty decent with the new Vekoma trains (and before the horrid retrack, though I can't speak through personal experience). Hell, I thought it tracked better than Raptor in 2019... Blue Tornado and Sequoia are worse than Ortobruco Tour, I can give you that 😅
