So I went to Germany and the highlight of my trip was Karnan. So I got to the park and rushed to Karnan. I waited for 20 mins. My first ride was in the back row
Surprise!
On the coaster's vertical lift hill when you're almost at the top, the train stops, then all of a sudden the trains falls backward. The train climbs back up the lift hill. That was a pleasant surprise. I wish more coasters could have a element like that. Most people on the ride were screaming (I heard one lady swear in German).
Dat drop tho
The first drop in the back was insane! It provided the weirdest feeling I've ever experienced. It's the best drop I've ever experienced. You get a pop of strong sustained airtime. I find the drop in the back comparable to El Toro's drop in the back. I wonder how it would have felt if this was a oversized spinning coaster.....
The outdoor portion.
The outdoor portion of this ride is very intense and fun. The non inverting sea serpent roll (I don't know what the official name of the element is called) provides some great airtime (very strong floater), and the overbank following that provides some great lateral airtime. The rest of the outdoor portion is a twister section with a few pops of sustained ejector thrown in. That being said the twister section provided g force comparable to nemesis, and black mamba. But it was a bit jerky but the positives beat the negatives. Following the twister section is a bunny hop leading to brakes.
Surprise Part 2: Attack of the Hangtime
After the brakes you enter a heart line roll. I was not expecting that and it provided some great hangtime.
Overall
This ride is great. It provides the best drop I've ever experienced, and some strong floater/sustained ejector. It also has a great intense twister section. The only problem I have with this ride is the jerkiness. Overall it's defiantly in my top 3. I wish Busch Gardens Tampa (my home park) would get a clone of this.
My rating: 10/10, and a ayyylien seal of approval!
