Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

CLEARLY it was Sequoia Adventure :P Just kidding.

My trip to mainland Europe was more of a cultural trip than a cred trip, and so I've only been to six parks, but I'd rank the coasters like this:

1. Shock- So fun and so rerideable
2. Raptor- My only coaster of this type and I thought it was really good. It wasn't too intense to the point where I didn't want to reride it, but it was just intense enough
3. Katun- A pretty good invert, not my favourite but still very good
4. Boomerang- Okay, shoot me, but this Boomerang was absolutely fantastic and only had a tiny, square, metal lap bar holding you in which made it scary
5. Ispeed- I dunno, it was underwhelming and rough, but I wish I got to reride it because I honestly forget most of it if I'm being honest, and sometimes opinions can change with a few more rides. It was still fun though
7. Hullamvasut- Never before had I been on a wooden coaster that had trains which might as well have been park benches with no restraints, fitted with tires
8. Megablitz- Just a fun ride, nothing fantastic, just fun
9. Super 8er Bahn- Same as above
10. Hochschaubahn- It's literally like, a wooden coaster for babies but it was incredibly unique and like nothing I had ever seen before, plus it had cute theming

dead last- Volare, Wiener Prater... Disgusting contraption that was about 50,000 times worse than the other Volare I have been on.
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

^Most interesting list that will likely be posted in this topic IMO. Thanks Taylor!

4) Colossos
5) Shock
6) Anubis
7) Rutschebanen (Tivoli Gardens)
8) Goliath
9) Troy
10) I'm pretty stuck for a tenth to be honest, maybe something completely mental and unforgettable like Tornado at Bakken? I don't know haha.
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

While I've actually been on about 50, I've not been on many that are very good. So it's a difficult one - as far as "would like to ride again" is probably the best way of doing this list.

1. Expedition GE Force, holiday Park
2. Dragon Khan, Port Aventura
3. Blue Fire, Europa Park
4. Silver Star, Europa Park
5. Big Thunder Mountain, Disney Paris
6. Lisebergbanan, Liseberg
7. Balder, Liseberg (just to see if it can ever be good)
8. Speed Monster, Tusenfryd
9 and 10 no idea really. Nothing else I've been on is really worth the effort of going back to ride again.

Is Ispeed really Rough because until now i have only heard great things about. Also what where are the last 4 you mentioned
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

^ Its an Intamin, and its a few years old now, so it probably does have a bit of a rattle to it.
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

^Unfortunately that has to be the case :( It was glass smooth when I rode it in 2010. No rattle, not a single vibration or anything!
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

^But not last summer. :shock:
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

I'm an absolute SLUT for an Intamin launched coaster, but iSpeed sucked the big one, definitely not in a good/memorable way. It was just so so poo, I think the restraints were what killed it for me, I remember being in agony throughout the entire thing, so much so that that's pretty much all I can remember of the thing! Definitely not one for my top ten.

On another note, I totally forgot about Port Aventura when writing mine! I think Dragon Khan might slot in nicely somewhere, but I can't be bothered to change it so I'll just leave it here as an honorable mention ;]
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

Interestingly, I haven't posted my list in this topic
So, here I go:
1. Katun, Mirabilandia
2. iSpeed, Mirabilandia
3. Blue Fire, Europa Park
4. Raptor, Gardaland
5. DiVertical, Mirabilandia
6. Silver Star, Europa Park
7. Matterhorn Blitz, Europa
8. Poseidon, Europa
9. Magic Mountain, Gardaland
10. Super 8er Bahn, Prater
 
Re: What are your Top 10 favourite coasters in mainland Euro

1 Katun
2 Dragon Khan
3 Superman / la Atracción de Acero / Space Mountain Mission 2
4 Colossos
5 Colossus (Thorpe Park)
6 Thunder Coaster (Tusenfryd)
7 Tonerre De Zeus
8 Grand National
9 Swarm/Air
10 Nemesis

As you can see, I like long and less intense rides (in other words: Intamin doesn't do much for me)
